The dash on the passenger side in the upper left corner from the air bag had a crack show up on my vehicle. I was traveling down a smooth roadway when a loud pop occurred and the cracked appeared. The dealership stated that I would have to pay to fix the dash, due to the warranty not covering the issue. I do not understanding after researching why chevrolet has not fixed this issue due to so many vehicles having the same defect. For an expensive vehicle that it is, I would expect a better quality of product. I will not be purchasing another tahoe.
2011 Chevrolet Tahoe body complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 81 of 81, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Inside of rear passenger door was full of water.
Dash board is cracking for no apparent reason. It has cracked on the drivers side as well as around the area where the air bag is kept. My fear is that because of the cracks the air bag could possibly deploy with no warning while driving and cause me to have accident or to cause an accident. There have been numerous reports on the gm model 2007 - 2014 tahoes, yukons and trucks that the dashboards are cracking in the same areas on all of the vehicles around the air bag.
Driving and there was a loud pop, the dashboard above the steering wheel cracked and the dashboard on passenger side where the air bag cracked.
I own a 2011 tahoe that has been kept in the garage and is in immaculate condition. I have 2 cracks on my dashboard; one on the upper left-hand side of my passenger side airbag and the other right behind my steering wheel. This crack is actually branching into two cracks now. I have some serious concerns regarding the safety of my vehicle in the event I am in a collision and my airbags need to be deployed. This cracked dash seems to be a common issue in tahoes from at least 2007 and newer and I am concerned that gm has done nothing to recall this issue, especially considering how far back it appears to be affecting vehicles. My concern is the possibility of lack of airbag deployment and/or shards of sharp plastic flying through the air in the event of a collision causing injury to passengers or, in the event my airbags do deploy, a compromise to the effectiveness of their deployment due to puncture. It is apparent the dash is defective by the number of similar issues reported by customers. It is apparent that the dash is already compromised due to these cracks and gm needs to consider the safety issues posed with this defect.
This tahoe has 2 cracks in dash . Right at the air bag space & in front of the driver. What is going to happen if the air bags deploy. This is a product defect. This tahoe has only 47k miles on it. This is not right for gmc to do this to the buyers.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the mechanic stated that the entire dashboard had to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 55,000. The current mileage was 60,000.

After every rain, the rear doors fill with water. I clear the drain holes regularly but after each rain I still need to take off the seal and let the water drain. If it is a heavy rain, the doors take over 15 minutes to drain because they are completely full. I should not have to do this after every rain. I am concerned that rust will form and that there will be electrical issues. If I am not home for several days after it rains and the truck is sitting, this means the water is sitting in there. At night, if the temperature drops below freezing, this water will freeze in the doors. This never happened in my 2002 tahoe.
I was driving west on rio rd. In charlottesville, va, at roughly 35 MPH. At approximately 6:00 pm, a deer emerged from the passenger side of the vehicle. It happened instantaneously and avoiding the deer was not an option. Immediately after striking the deer at the front right bumper (underneath headlight), the side airbags deployed in my 2011 chevy tahoe. However, the airbag that was suppose to deploy from the drivers seat (on the side near seatbelt) did not deploy. Additionally, the front two airbags (from steering wheel and dashboard) did not deploy as well. Moreover, approximately three months back, another family member also hit a deer with the same vehicle (2011 chevy tahoe) and at that time no airbags deployed. In this incident the vehicle was traveling 70 MPH and the deer struck the left side of the front bumper and no airbags deployed. At the time, we didn't even think about defective airbags, but now, we are very, very concerned that there's a defect. We simply do not know what to do. I have contacted chevrolet directly and they assure me someone will come out and look at the vehicle this week sometime. I would be relieved if someone from the federal safety agency also investigates these two scenarios. What is chevrolet's responsibility to me and my family in these two cases? And what is the best course of action? Furthermore, I can arrange for my insurance adjustor to gather any documentation from the first incident (where airbags did not deploy) such as photos, reports and provide them to you. The vehicle is sitting in my driveway because I am waiting for a chevrolet representative to come and inspect it. I would appreciate your prompt action in this matter. Thank you!
Purchased vehicle, and two weeks later drove it to the washington coast from boise, idaho (approximately 630 miles). While there the back driverside rear seat door worked fine. Then on the fourth day, we returned from an outing, and it was okay. Went out later to get something out of the car and the left rear door would not open. External handle come out about an inch and stayed out (like no spring connected). Door was unlocked (button up). Tried the inside handle and it would not open the door either. Just swung out as normal, but didn't open door. The following day we returned to boise, and door was inoperative whole way home. The following morning we went out to unload some more things. And the door worked. I am taking it into the dealer who says they have had problems similar to this with other tahoes. Consider this a serious safety factor. If we were to have a passenger in the car and be in an accident and the door didn't open, it could be a factor to survival. Additionally, in the event of a water entry, since the rear windows only roll down half-way, escape is necessary through the door. In this case, an inoperative door could result in death or serious injury.
