2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Structure

GETTING BASEBALL EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE, THE POWER LIFTGATE ROSE ALMOST TO THE TOP AND THEN STARTED TO AUTO CLOSE ON MY SON. THE FORCE COULD HAVE KILLED HIM IF SOMEONE WASN'T THERE. I'M A PHYSICALLY FIT MAN AND I HAD DIFFICULTY HOLDING UP THE LIFT GATE.

DASHBOARD RIGHT BY PASSENGER AIRBAG CRACKED. DASH VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING AND I'M WORRIED IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THAT PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD WILL BREAK OFF AND BECOME PROJECTILES IN THE CABIN.

VEHICLE DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE PLATFORM INCLUDING THE GMC YUKON, GMC YUKON XL, GMC SIERRA, CHEVY TAHOE, CHEVY SUBURBAN, AND CHEVY SILVERADO ALL WITHIN THE 2007-2013 MODEL YEARS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS DISCUSSIONS THREADS POSTED ONLINE AS WELL AS SOCIAL GROUPS IN WHICH OWNERS ARE INFORMING THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY OF THEIR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD FRAGMENT AS THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED CAUSING PROJECTILES WITHIN THE VEHICLE CABIN. THE SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL AS MATERIAL DEFECT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THERE IS NO EXCUSE AS TO WHY THESE DASHBOARDS ARE CRACKING. *TR

2011 CHEVY TAHOE DASH CRACK, 6/19/16, NO TRAUMA, PARKED IN CAR PORT, 64K MILES. ONCE RESEARCHED FOUND THIS TO BE A FREQUENT ISSUE WITH NO SOLUTION FROM GM/CHEVY. REQUESTING RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE DASH MATERIAL, RISK OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IF CONTINUES TO CRACK.

THE DASH IN MY VEHICLE CRACKED SIGNIFICANTLY LAST WEEK AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, GM INDICATED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BUT AFTER READING INTO IT, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE QUITE PREVALENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

THE DASH JUST RECENTLY CRACKED OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN GARAGED, I USE WINDOW COVERS, AND IT ONLY HAS 40,000. I AM 100% A GM CUSTOMER, BUT THE LACK OF QUALITY WITH RESPECT TO MATERIALS IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.
