2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Unknown Or Other Problems

Tailgate opens on its own repeatedly. Has been happening for several months, even when just sitting parked. Afraid it will happen while driving. Will drain battery as well, as it happens constantly.

Stability track issues Trunk issues want open or go up Tires keep having to replace for no reason at all Airbag recall Traction control

1. Dashboard has been cracking for years, now the defrost vent fins are breaking off. Happens when I clean the inside of the windshield. Makes flapping noise when I use defroster. 2. The interior light switch on the passenger side front door does not work anymore. 3. The cruise control will randomly turn itself off and other times speed up by itself.

I took my vehicle into sunset Chevrolet in Sumner Washington, in November of 2022 and had them complete the Takata air bag recall on the vehicle. I drove it for a few months and put it in storage. Since the recall the dash is now cracked where the dealer replaced the passenger airbag recall. It was not cracked prior to the replacement. I have talked to the dealer and they are saying they will not cover this. This is a hazard issue and can cause additional shrapnel to come flying at you if the vehicle is involved in an accident. The vehicle was stored in the garage and not driven. The dealer won't even examine the vehicle to see if the bolts were inadvertently overtightened on the technicians side. This is not right and this is something that should be covered. The vehicle has about 88k miles on it. My...

My dashboard is cracked in multiple places. It is broken around the airbag. My vehicle has been garage kept. My concern is that in an accident the dashboard could shatter sending shrapnel toward driver and passenger. Further because the crack is around the airbag it could puncture the airbag on deployment rendering it ineffective resulting in serious injury or death.

Dash cracked by the passenger side airbag. Concerned if I do get in an accident that the piece will break and fly into the passenger.

Dash has 2 different cracks in it. Unrelated to anything.

The dashboard is cracked from different areas throughout the dashboard. I'm concerned the dashboard will break completely while driving. I can't afford to fix the problem and replace the dashboard. The trunk door won't open. I had to pay the dealer $900 to have it replaced. I would like to get reimbursed since a car should open its trunk door. Its an SUV and I should be able to put things in the trunk without any problems.

I have had this vehicle since 2011 and it is used as my vehicle to and from work. It’s stored in the garage and covered at work. During COVID, I did not work on site, so it was stored in the garage for 18 months. When I returned to work, I noticed a crack in the dash board in two places. It has no sun damage, no exterior damage. I am aware of a class action lawsuit with cracked dashboards. I was also informed by repair shop and my insurance that Tahoe’s (2007-2014) have issues with the dashboards cracking. Repair shop said my car is in excellent condition and this is a defect with this car. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.carparts.com/blog/the-latest-on-the-gm-cracked-dash-issue/amp/

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED FROM THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COVER TO THE SEAM IN THE DASH PANEL NEED THE DEFROSTER. WE WERE INVOLVED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT AND THE CRACK APPEARED AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I'M CONCERNED IT COULD AFFECT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYING.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE AREAS CAUSING RATTLING AND PLASTIC BITS BREAKING OFF AND FALLING INTO THE DASH AREA. I'M CONCERNED THIS POORLY STRUCTURED DASH WILL LOSE INTEGRITY ENOUGH TO CAUSE DAMAGE OR POTENTIALLY CAUSE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS IN OTHER AREAS UNDERNEATH THE DASH. THIS POOR DASH DESIGN IS WELL KNOWN IN THE TAHOE COMMUNITY. THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS SOMETIMES AND COMPLETELY DOESN'T WORK OTHER TIMES. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY OF WHEN IT WILL WORK OR NOT WORK. WHEN I HIT THE INITIAL START UP BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL, THE LIGHT ON THE WHEEL WILL LIGHT UP. HOWEVER, IF I HIT THE 'SET' BUTTON ON THE WHEEL, THE ACTUAL CRUISE CONTROL WILL SOMETIMES ACTIVATE AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL COME ON CONFIRMING IT IS SET AND WORKING. BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT THE 'SET' BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL NEVER ACTIVATES. THIS IS AT ANY...

THE DASH IS CRACKING. VEHICLE LOOKS BRAND NEW EXCEPT FOR THE DASH. STARTING TO GET CRACKS ON EACH SIDE. WHAT I HAVE SEEN, THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN THREE PLACES TWO ARE WHERE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS ON THE DASH. THE WORST ONE IS ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT CRACKED BAD SPLIT A PIECE FELL DOWN INSIDE. WE HAVE TAPE OVER IT TO KEEP IT TOGETHER. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF A COLLISION HAPPENS. THIS TAHOE IS KEPT IN OUR GARAGE. UPON RESEARCHING YOUR WEB SITE I SEE 45 COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THE SAME PROBLEM. I STOPPED ON PAGE SIXTEEN. THAT SEEMS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURE TO REPLACE THE DASH AT THEIR EXPENSE. THE QUALIFIED DEALERSHIP CHARGES OVER $1000 TO REPLACE THE DASH. PLEASE HELP.

ITS THE DASH THAT KEEPS CRAKING FOR NO REASON

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ABOVE BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS. WHILE LOOKING TO SEE IF THESE CRACKS ARE REPAIRABLE I LEARNED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH CERTAIN TAHOES (BETWEEN CERTAIN YEARS) AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND WAS ADVISED TO REPORT IT HERE. (I DON'T THINK IT PERTAINS TO MY ISSUE, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME THE CRACKS APPEARED)

THE STABILTRAK TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN AND LAUNCHED OUR VEHICLE TO THE SIDE WHILE WE WERE DRIVING 55 MPH.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND HAS AN IMPACT ON THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE.

DASH IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES ON PASSENGER AIR BAG, ABOVE DRIVER CONTROL PANEL AND RIGHT OF GLOVE BOX

MY 2011 STARTED MAKING A CHIRPING NOISE. THE MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS THE BELTS SO HE REPLACED THEM. STILL CHIRPED. HE TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID ITS THE LIFTERS. WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM ON THAT TYPE OF ENGINE. BECAUSE IT GAS 135,000 MILES THEY SAY ITS NOT COVERED. MANY REPORTED ISSUES ON LINE BUT NO RECALL

DASHBOARD CRACKING AROUND AIRBAG MAY CAUSE DANGEROUS DEBRIS IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED IN A CRASH

2011 TAHOE - DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT. CRACK ON DASH IS LOCATED ON DRIVER'S SIDE IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL. FROM VIEWING DATABASE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH GM HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS - ESPECIALLY IF A CRASH OCCURS AND FRAGMENTS OF DASH COULD CAUSE FURTHER INJURY TO DRIVER/PASSENGERS AND/OR CAUSE AIRBAG ISSUES.

DASH IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES INCLUDING CLOSE TO AIRBAG LOCATION

DASH CRACKING REAL BAD. *TR

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. IT CRACKED TO THE DOME PART OVER THE GAUGES AND IT CRACKED TO MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TRANSPORTING PEOPLE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR *BF*JB

THE DASH IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE AREAS AND IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. WHILE DRIVING THE DASH IS BOUNCING APPROXIMATELY 1-2 INCHES AND WORRIES ME THAT IT WOULD SEND PIECES OF PLASTIC FLYING IF EVER INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT.

DASHBOARD HAS 2 CRACKS. ONE BY THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG AND THE OTHER OVER THE DRIVERS INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN STORED IN A GARAGE. I WROTE A LETTER TO GM AND THE WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION OR HELP WITH REPLACEMENT.

FRONT DASH CRACKING AND SMALL PIECES ARE LOOSE AND COME LOOSE AND CAN HIT THE PASSENGER OR DRIVER IN THE EYE

CAME OUT TO MY PARKED VEHICLE ON THE CITY STREET AND NOTICED THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED UP. THERE ARE THREE CRACKS CAUSING AN EAR ACHING SQUEAKING. TWO OF THE CRACKS ARE OVER THE STAIRING WHEEL GOING TOWARD THE FRONT VENT AND THE OTHER CRACK IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE, LEFT HAND FRONT CORNER OF THE AIR BAG HATCH TOWARD THE FRONT VENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION YOU HAVE TO TURN THE VOLUME UP ON THE RADIO TO TUNE OUT THE EAR DRUM PIERCING SQUEAK. THE CRACKS CAME ON A HOT SUMMER DAY, I BELIEVE THAT MIGHT HAVE CONTRIBUTED......

DASHBOARD CRACKED NEXT TO THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER. NOTICED WHEN I GOT IN TAHOE WHICH IS GARAGE KEPT IN THE NORTHEAST.

DASH HAS TWO CRACKS RIGHT ABOVE THE DRIVER'S STEERING SECTION NEAR THE MIDDLE. IT SHAKES WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSES A TREMENDOUS DISTRACTION DUE TO THE WAY IT FLAPS. THIS IS ALSO REFLECTED IN THE WINDSHIELD DURING NORMAL DRIVING ON INTERSTATES AND NORMAL STATE ROADS. THE MOVEMENT IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT, TIRES ALIGNED AND BALANCED, IT DOES NOT HELP. THIS IS A DANGEREOUS DISTRACTION AND A DASH SHOULD NOT BE CRACKING THIS QUICKLY, THIS IS A WIDE PROBLEM ACROSS MANY GM TRUCKS AND SUVS.

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER. THE MAJOR CONCERN IS THE CRACKED AREA AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE'S NO DOUBT PIECES OF THE DASH WILL BECOME FLYING DEBRIS IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. I CURRENTLY HAVE AN AFTERMARKET COVER ON THE DASH TO HOPEFULLY KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING. ALSO, THE RATTLING OF THE DASH WILL ABSOLUTELY DRIVE YOU CRAZY ON ANY LENGTH OF DRIVE TIME. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO AN EPIDEMIC FOR 07-13 MODELS AND CHEVROLET SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED OVER THE STEERING WHEEL COWL AND BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND CRACKED WITHIN A FEW YEARS OF PURCHASE (LIKE MAYBE 3 YEARS).

MY DASH SPLIT AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ON THE 'HOOD' ABOVE THE GAUGES. IT'S RIDICULOUS HOW WIDE SPREAD OF A PROBLEM THIS IS ON THESE YEAR MODEL, YET CHEVROLET CHARGES $360 FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. GO TO HIGH BEAMS AND MOTOR IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO REV UP/DOWN, AND RUN ERRATIC. SWITCH BEAMS TO NORMAL POSITION=IT STOPS. WHEN DEPRESSING KEY FOB TO OPEN AND CLOSE DOORS, IT ONLY WORKS FREQUENTLY. BIZARRE ELECTRICAL ISSUE....

DASHBOARD JUST CRACKED WHILE DRIVING CITY STREET

DASH BOARD CRACKING IN TWO PLACES- BY PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ON DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE ODOMETER. THE CRACKS ARE PROGRESSING TO LARGER CRACKS AND CAN BE OF SAFETY ISSUE.

DASH BOARD CRACKED BY PASSENGER AIR BAG POSSIBLY COMPROMISING SAFETY. FEARFUL THAT AIR BAG STABILITY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.

THERE ARE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD: ONE IS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FROM FRONT TO BACK STARTS UNDER THE WINDSHIELD AND EXTENDS TO THE TOP OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL; THE OTHER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTS UNDER THE WINDSHIELD AND EXTENDS TO THE AIR BAG COVER. I'M CONCERNED THAT THESE CRACKS MAY COMPROMISE EITHER OR BOTH AIR BAGS SHOULD THEY BE DEPLOYED IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

'SERVICE AIRBAG' MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD SCREEN. POSSIBLY CONNECTED TO NUMEROUS CRACKS ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 90K MILES. CRACKS APPEARED WHEN IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 40K MILES. DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED AT THAT TIME.

DASH BOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING...STARTED FROM THE CORNERS OF THE AIRBAG....NOW I HAVE CRACKS ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD.

2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE CRACKING DASHBOARD. CRACKS (3) APPEARED OVER THE COURSE OF 12 MONTHS (SPRING OF 2018 START). FIRST OCCURRED BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, SECOND OVER THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (CENTER), THIRD CRACK RECENTLY OCCURRED LOWER LEFT OF DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN CRACKS OCCURRED (HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING). VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR ABUSE. THE CRACKING DASHBOARD MAY BE THE RESULT OF A POOR ENGINEERING AND/OR MATERIAL COMPOSITION DESIGN THAT DOES NOT ADEQUATELY SUPPORT/SECURE THE DASHBOARD AND SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS THAT ALLOWS FOR VIBRATION (CRACKING FAILURES). CRACKED DASHBOARD COMPONENTS MAY CAUSE INJURY AND IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGERS.

I HAVE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT NEAR THE AIRBAG AND ONE IN ONE THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINANTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT PUZZLES ME WHY CHEVY WOULD NOT DO A RECALL. MY 2011 IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF SO IT IS NOT NEGLECT ON MY PART.

CRACKS IN THE DASH BOARD. ONE NEAR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE OTHER AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG.

THE UPPER DASHBOARD ON MY 2011 CHEVY TAHOE HAS NUMEROUS CRACKS AND IS LITERALLY FALLING APART. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IT IS ALSO A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE A CRACKED DASHBOARD, PARTICULARLY ONE THAT IS DAMAGED AROUND THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG, CAN YIELD FLYING PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT THAT AN ACCIDENT TRIGGERS THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE BUT GM HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL OR OFFERED TO INVESTIGATE AT ALL ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.

DASH IS CRACKED IN TOW SEPERATE AREAS. ONE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, AND ONE ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, IN THAT IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, FLYING DEBRIS COULD HARM MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. THIS CRACKS HAPPENED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, OTHER THAN BEING CHEAPLY MADE AND INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND NOT TOUCHED WHEN THESE CRACKS OCCURRED.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. - SEVERELY CRACKED IN 3 LOCATIONS (OTHER SMALLER CRACKS). DASHBOARD UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING, RATTLES, VIBRATES IN CRACKED LOCATIONS.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS AND IS NOT A RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STORED IN A GARAGE ITS ENTIRE LIFE.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT AND IT HAS TWO CRACKS ON THE DASH. ONE ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE OTHER ABOVE THE ODOMETER. AS I SEARCH THE WEBSITE I AM SEEING MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE GMC YUKON, CHEVROLET TAHOE, AVALANCHE AND SUBURBAN

CRACKED DASHBOARD ABOVE DRIVER INSTRUMENT PANEL ALSO BIG CRACK BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG I'M AFRAID IF DEPLOYED MAY HAVE FLYING OBJECTS

DASHBOARD SPLIT SEVERAL DIFFERENT AREAS OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER AIRBAG
