2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Problems

I confirmed the vehicle has a recall. Called the Dealer and they informed me that the dash may crack while performing the recall but is not included in the recall. Any cracks in the dash would be customer pay. This doesn't seem right.

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

Dashboard is cracking at passenger side air bag, and on the driver side instrument cluster. This is a known Chevy defect and Chevy not wanting to fix the problem so to faulty engineering design. Class action lawsuit got no where. We need you help so other owners of Tahoes, Yukons, Sierra’s, and Silverados can have their faulty dashboard replaced. Definitely a safety issue due pieces of the dash flying out in a accident.

THE DASHBOARD CONTINUES TO CRACK AND DETERIORATE IT HAS NOW CRACKED NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IT HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME

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.

JUST PURCHASED TRUCK IT HAS NOT BEEN 30 DAYS AND THE SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE FASTER ON ITS OWN. WHICH WAS VERY SCARY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON PLUS TRACTION CONTROL AND IT SOMETIMES WON'T GO OVER 70 MPH. I FEEL LIKE I WAS TOLD TRUCK WAS IN GREAT CONDITION BUT IT'S NOT AND SCARED IT MIGHT ACCELERATE ON ITS ON WITH KIDS IN CAR. I WAS ON HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WORK FROM HOME SO I HAVEN'T REALLY HAD CHANCE TO DRIVE TRUCK BUT I FEEL UN SAFE DRIVING IT BERGER CHEVROLET SHOULD BE SHAMED I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE MANAGERS WITH NO CALL BACK

Stability trac, ABS, traction control, passenger air bag, locks are locking and unlocking, voltage to high, car will lose power while driving then shut off after alternator replaced, truck is worse also back trailer brake sensor appears to, no engine lights on went to two mechanics and unable to find the problem, very dangerous my car will randomly turn off while driving and cars in back slamming on their brakes to avoid hitting me

I was sold a vehicle by a small car dealer who claims to have a dealers license. He advertised the car as having 125,000 miles and that is what the odometer says. After receiving the title and looking it up on car fax I found that the vehicle actually has 255,000 miles on it. Dealer states it was a cash deal and not his problem

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....

Fuel pump failure caused my vehicle to stall not once, not twice, but THREE times in the middle of the interstate on my way back home from out of state. This was terrifying, especially since my kids were in the car with me. The entire vehicle shut off in the middle of traffic and I was in the far left lane

During refueling the fuel does not fill up and backs up coming out onto person fueling vehicle along with fuel pouring onto vehicle as well property. This is a major fire hazard and can cause serious burns to whomever is fueling vehicle let alone what can happen if the spill is ever to ignite from a electronic spark. This is a major problem and needs to be rectified as soon as possible, for it is eminent that someone will be injured and possible killed.

RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED TAHOE FROM DEALERSHIP WITH WARRANTY.WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ABS. THE VEHICLE FISHTALED, ENGINE LOST RESPONSE. THE ABS AND STABILITRAC WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR A SHORT TIME AND WENT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY. SECOND INSTANCE IN THE RAIN, ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE, WANTED TO MOVE OVER FOR A FAST MOVING VEHICLE BEHIND ME. AS I WAS CHANGING LANES THE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THIS TIME PULSING THE A B S BREAKS. I HAD TO STEER HARDER TO THE RIGHT, TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE WAS LOW AS WELL. THE TAHOE IS CONSUMING HUGE AMOUNTS OF GAS. ABOUT 13MILES PER GALLON. DRAGS UP HILL. SEEMS LIKE IT HARD TO SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS. RETURN TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. DEALER CLEANED THROTTLE BODY, REPLACED MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. RETURNED IT TO ME, I TOLD THE DEALER TO DRIVE IT,BEFORE I ACCEPTED IT BACK. THREE CODES POPPED UP. BACK TO CHEVY FOR DIAGNOSIS. YAW SENSOR NOT COMMUNICATING, ETC. I TOLD THE DEALER I FEEL THE VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE. I GAVE THEM A LIST OF CODES OFF MY CODE READER. IT DOESN'T SEEM THEY ARE TAKING IT INTO CONSIDERATION. WE HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE A MONTH. THE DEALER IS PROVIDING A RENTAL. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TAHOE AND OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME I HAD TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND/OR HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR WARRENTY. THE STABILITRAC LIGHTS COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR. THEY ARE HOWEVER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUES. I FEEL LIKE THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH KNOWN ISSUES.

FACTORY WHEELS ARE HAVE BEEN DETERIORATING HEAVILY. GM OFFERED AN OPTION PACKAGE FOR THIS MODEL YEAR FOR 22" CHROME WHEELS, SPECIFICALLY CHROME 5409 WHEELS. THE CHROME PLATING HAS BEEN AGGRESSIVELY SEPARATING AND PEALING FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE WHEELS AND MOST RECENTLY 1 OF MY WHEELS ROTTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND THIS PROBLEM WAS UNAVAILABLE AND CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING QUALITY DEFECT. I AM NOW FORCED TO CONSIDER ABSORBING THE EXORBITANT COST OF REPLACING ALL 4 WHEELS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY.

MY STABILITY TRACK LIGHT WILL COME ON AND MY TAHOE WILL DECREASE IN SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. MY DASHBOARD HAS A HUGE CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT MADE A LOUD POP SOUND WHEN IT SPLIT. THERE IS A RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM MY STEERING COLUMN WHEN I HAVE TO TURN A CORNER.

ON MARCH 17,2015 I LEFT MY HOME DRIVING MY VEHICE WITH THE SEAT BELT ON I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND WHEN I TRIED TO FASTENED MY SEAT BELT , I HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME UNBUCKLE, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT THIS SAFETY CONCERN CHECKED, THEY CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT LATCH WAS STUCK IN CLOSED POSITION, THEY NEVER SAID IT WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT, THEY DID AND CHARGE ME FOR IT. I FILE A CLAIM WITH CHEVROLET AND 4 DAYS LATER THEY CAME BACK SAYING THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SEAT BELT ISSUE THAT IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR, I MENTIONED TO THEM THAT MY TRUCK IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD,THEY SAID THAY HAD TO GO BACK AND SEE HOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER TREATED THE TRUCK AND ALSO THAT I PURCHASE A USED VEHICLE. I DISAGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE WORD THEY SAID. I THINK CHEVROLET IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY ACCESSORIES THEY INSTALL ON EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE. I THANK GOD NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I DROVE WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CARS OUT THERE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER GRABBED THE SEAT BELT CAUSING IT TO TWIST AROUND THE PASSENGER'S NECK. THE SEAT BELT WAS UNABLE TO RETRACT. THE SEAT BELT HAD TO BE CUT IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE PASSENGER. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR SCRATCHES TO THE NECK THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

NEXEN TIRE'S SEPARATION. I PURCHASED A SET OF (4) NEXEN TIRES. TO DATE 3 OF THE 4 HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO TREAD SEPARATION. NEXEN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE FIRST (2) EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ALMOST BRAND NEW. LAST WEEK, A 3RD TIRE WENT BAD. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW TIRE, BUT KEPT THE DEFECTIVE TIRE IN MY POSSESSION. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE 4TH REMAINING TIRE WILL BLOW-OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WILL NO LONGER LET MY WIFE DRIVE MY TRUCK.

GM/CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT CORRECT SAFETY ISSUE WITH SPARE TIRE. GM/CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT PUT RESPONSE IN WRITING. GM/CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT DISCUSS MIXING OF BRIDGESTONE AND GOODYEAR BELT DESIGNS. THE SPARE IS NOT A "DUMMY TIRE" AND IS NOT A "FULLY OPERATIONAL SPARE" PER GM. THE SPARE CANNOT BE USED IN 4WD, IF SPARE USED IN 4WD WARRANTY IS VOIDED. GM/CHEVROLET MIXES TIRE MFG, TIRE DESIGN, TIRE # BELTS ON DRIVE TIRES AND "SPARE". THIS IS AN UNSAFE ACT. THE FOUR DRIVE TIRES ARE BRIDGESTONE DUELLER HL ALENZA P275-55R20 (2POLY/2STEEL/1NYLON BELT). THE SPARE TIRE IS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP P265-70R17 (2POLY/2STEEL BELT) (MFG DESIGN IS FULLY OPERATIONAL) SPARE. GM/CHEVROLET HAD NO DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE ODD SPARE CATEGORY PRIOR TO PURCHASE AND NOT NOTED IN WINDOW STICKER. OWNER MANUAL IS UNCLEAR ABOUT THE SPARE AND AVOIDS ANY FACTS ABOUT THE SPARE BEING GOODYEAR AND DRIVE TIRES ARE BRIDGESTONE DESIGN. GM/CHEVROLET HAS CREATED A THIRD CATEGORY FOR A SPARE: "BOBO". TYPE 1 IS FULLY OPERATIONAL SPARE, TYPE 2 IS A DUMMY SPARE (NOT FULLY OPERATION), AND TYPE 3 IS NEW AND IS A BOBO SPARE, APPEARS TO BE A FULLY OPERATIONAL TIRE BUT GM STATES NOT FULLY OPERATIONAL (AND NOT A DUMMY TIRE TOO). THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR GM TO NOT HAVE A BRIDGESTONE DUELLER HL ALENZA P265-70R17 TIRE ON THE SPARE RIM, INSTEAD OF A GOODYEAR WRANGLER HPP265-70R17 TIRE. THIS WOULD MAKE ALL TIRES ON THE TAHOE BRIDGESTONE DUELLER HL ALENZA DESIGN/BELTS. *TR
