2013 Chevrolet Tahoe Problems

My dashboard is completely cracked, and the driver side handle on the inside broke off

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES AS SHOWN ON THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. ONE CRACK IS NEAR THE HOUSING FOR THE AIRBAG, AND THE OTHER IS FORMING ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CRACKS RESULT IN THE DASHBOARD SHACKING ON ANY UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE, SO EVENTUALLY THE SMALLER CRACK WILL PROGRESS ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVY DUE TO A SAFETY HAZARD FROM THIS DEFECTIVE PART. REPLACEMENT OR REPAIRS ARE ESTIMATED TO BE $1200-$2000. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF NORMAL DRIVING.

Dealer has advised that replacement of airbag will result in damage to interior parts and trim and that replacement parts are not available and that the dealer will not be responsible for replacement and repair of damage. I have refused the warranty replacement until a dealer can be located that will not damage car interior

I have a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. It is one of the thousands of which the plastic dash has cracked into pieces.My concern is that the loose plastic will hurt someone if the airbag is deployed. GM Should have never used such flimsy plastic on the dashes of so many vehicles.

Odometer Fraud. The contact intended to purchase a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while inspecting the vehicle, the odometer reading displayed 88,000 miles; however, the Carfax history report provided by O'Reilly Auto Parts listed the mileage at 162,000.

Vehicle randomly throws Stabilitrak, Traction control and ABS codes. Engine derates to limp mode. Transmission goes to full line pressure shifts. A cycle of the ignition system will reset the system a majority of the time. There is no "recall" but the general consensus in the mechanical world is two things cause this issue. Throttle body is bad and/or the steering position sensor fails causing the stabilitrak system to be disabled (which in a 2013 Tahoe, stabilitrak cannot be turned off) I have replaced the throttle body with an OEM part and the problem still occurs with our vehicle. It is a big enough of a parts failure/equipment failure that most of my mechanic buddies I've talked to knew exactly what I was talking about and said I replaced these two parts and the problem was solved. May not be enough for a recall but a TSB really should be issued because I've found a lot of information online that a lot of people are having this same issue. Between this website's complaint section and other Chevy/GM forums, I'm estimating 5000-10000 people have had similar issues with the stabilitrak being disabled somehow while driving. Manufacturers need to be held accountable for parts failures like this, as when recalls do finally happen, it is next to impossible to get the vehicle in and repaired in a timely matter (Takata air bag inflator issue is a great example, our local dealer cannot give me an estimated date they can get the vehicle in for repairs because its a mass parts recall and the replacement parts are unavailable) Incident has happened over a dozen times in the past 6 months but the additional details will not let me select multiple dates

One day I was driving normal and my engine light and two other lights came on. It dropped my speed under 30mph and I couldn't pass the gas. It said reduced engine power, service stabilitrak and service traction. I immediately took it to auto zone then placed it in the shop at the dealership. They had my truck for almost 2 months and finally said they fixed it. It ran ok for a month or so. I was so scared to drive because it does it randomly. Boom it happen again now im frustrated because what is the problem. Called shop they said bring it back they will have a new person look at it. They had it for a month again. Paid more money. Then boom a month later the same thing. So at this point im calling no one is answering they ignored me so I called the customer service on the truck to complain. I had to get rentals and everything with the same problem it is over a year later. No answer and nobody called back nothing. I parked my truck for months and yesterday June 24th the lights came on again. I have heard alot of my friends and family say they have a chevy vehicle and they did/do the same thing.

Transmission, vehicle stops functioning without notice on the road while driving acceleration stops. The problem was confirmed to be a transmission failure by chevrolet. The inspection was done by chevrolet to confirm the transmission has failed. The vehicle started to jump when sitting still and the drive train for 2wheel/4whell did stop working it only allowed the vehicle to be moved in 2whell drive. This happened after the vehicle went over 100k miles and when I took it to chevrolet they said nothing was wrong with it, they said "it's an old car". When the car is driven over 35/40mph the vehicle now shakes along with it stopping to function while driving. Even with chevrolet verifying that the transmission is bad(which is the recall on Tahoe models from the same year of production) they refuse to acknowledge it is all models unless it's on a specific list of vin numbers. They refuse to replace the transmission recall at no cost according to the current recall that was done already for this year make and model. I've had all engine tune up maintenance requirements done and have not missed any vehicle scheduled maintenance this vehicle year make and model is on the recall list and I've attached the copy of it to show proof of the record. The record was provided by chevrolet, along with the record of NHTSA recalls to show this is the same year make and model but the vin isn't included, as well as the recalls they listed to show that zero apply to this vehicle when this is clearly the same exact symptoms listed on the recall but this vin isn't listed when it should be if the same exact symptoms are failing on the vehicle with maintenance kept up.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that upon start of the vehicle, an abnormal ticking sound was coming from the engine compartment. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon inspection of the vehicle, the contact discovered that the oil pressure was low. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that the uptake tube O-ring needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.

I RECEIVED RECALL AND I CALL MY GM DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT YET CALLED ME AS OF TODAY TO GET THIS RECALL DONE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT IN AND IT HAS BEEN ALREADY 3 MONTHS SINCE THEN.

Have replaced all brakes, rotors, calipers, brake booster, master cylinder, and checked for leaks. Still have no pressure when applying brakes.

JULY 16TH, 2019 MY 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OF TOTAL LOSS. TRAVEL SPEEDS WERE 30 MPH. IN ATTEMPTS TO STOP DUE TO VEHICLES TRAVELING IN FRONT OF MINE HAD COME TO ABRUPT STOPS MY BRAKES FAILED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STOPPING WHILE STRAIGHT LINE STEERING. THUS I WAS FORCED TO STEER LEFT TO AVOID COLLISION. MY BRAKES WERE QUICKLY APPLIED, MODERATE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, BRAKES WERE SLOW TO RESPOND WITH MINIMAL BRAKING. THERE WAS COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, CLIPPING THEIR DRIVER SIDE REAR BUMPER TO MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT CORNER FENDER PEALING IT BACK LIKE A CAN OPENER. THIS HAPPENED ON A STATE HWY. THE STABILITRAC INDICATOR AND SERVICE BRAKES HAD APPEARED ON AND OFF IN THE VEHICLES DIC INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST MONTH. NO CODES PRESENT. THE VEHICLE HAD NEW BRAKES (ROTORS, PADS AND BRAKE FLUID), 43 DAYS PRIOR. IT HAD 138,627 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. 1) WE ARE LUCKY THERE WERE NO INJURIES RESULTING FROM THIS ACCIDENT. 2) FOR A VEHICLE THAT WAS PURCHASED FOR $61K AND PAID OFF, 6 YEARS LATER LOSSES 2/3 OF ITS PURCHASED VALUE. 3) HAVE NOW HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND BACK TO BEING $20K IN THE HOLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A DIRECT RESULT FROM THE CURRENT RECALL GM JUST ANNOUNCED THAT COVERS 2014-2018 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN AND TAHOE MODELS. GM STATES AS THE VEHICLE AGES, THE PUMP IN THE POWER-ASSIST BRAKES CAN PUT OUT LESS VACUUM THAN NEEDED, INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE AND RICK OF A CRASH. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645

MY 2013 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ FRONT TIRES ARE CUPPING ON THE OUTTER EDGES AND APPEAR WORN OUT. I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS AND HAD THE VEHICLE ALIGNED, BALANCED, AND TIRES ROTATED. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE STRUTS BE REPLACED EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT LEAKING. I PROVIDED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH ORIGINAL RECEIPTS TO PROVE THAT I HAD TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO TWO OTHER SHOPS PREVIOUSLY. I ALSO PURCHASED A SERVICE WARRANTY PLAN WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND ALTHOUGH THIS REPAIR IS INCLUDED, THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE WHILE OPENING GLASS HATCH. SOLDERED JOINT BROKE AWAY FROM GLASS. SEEMS AS IF THE ELECTRICAL WIRE IS TOO SHORT OR UNDER TOO MUCH TENSION. BACK GLASS WILL NO LONGER DEFROST LIMITING VISIBILITY. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR

REAR DEFROST WIRE CONSTANTLY SEPARATES FROM THE GLASS. WE HAVE BEEN TO VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES AND THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS. MANY OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE INCLUDED A BRAND NEW BACK WINDOW AND WIRING AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. OUR TRUCK HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALER FOR DAYS AT A TIME ONLY TO BREAK AGAIN WITHIN DAYS/WEEKS OF REPAIR. THIS CREATES A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS (NOW) WHEN WE CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE BACK WINDOW. THIS CASE IS FULLY REGISTERED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WITH GM DIRECTLY, BUT NO PERMANENT RESOLUTION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. THE WIRE IS CURRENTLY DETACHED, IT FELL OFF AGAIN WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE LAST REPAIR. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE IT IS MOVING.

WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTED SPUTTERING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TAHOE STOPPED RUNNING AND STALLED OUT. TOOK TO LOCAL SHOP TO CHECK THE CHECK ENGINE CODE - FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A VEHICLE FROM CARDENAS SUPERSTORE IN PHARR, TX. WE'VE BEEN TO THEM 4 TIMES, IN WHICH THEY'VE SENT OUR TAHOE TO THE LOCAL GM/CHEVROLET DEALER IN OUR AREA. GENERALLY, WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM, STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL WILL DISABLE AND WE WILL SEE A SERIES OF WARNING LIGHTS. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WILL GO OFF, THE AIR CONDITIONER TEMPERATURE WILL RISE TO A WARM TEMP, THE LOCKS WILL START UNLOCKING AND LOCKING RANDOMLY, HARD TRANSMISSION JERKS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR, AND LITTLE POWER WHEN TRYING TO INCREASE SPEED. THE FIRST TIME WE WENT, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME WE WENT, THEY CLEAN OUT ALL THE FUEL MODULES, THE THIRD TIME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AND FINALLY, ON THE FOURTH TRY, THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES SO THEY PUT DI-ELECTRIC GREASE ON SOME OF THE WIRING. TWO DAYS LATER IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. A REASON THEY MAY HAVE TROUBLE FINDING ANY ISSUES IS THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE IS OFF FOR SOME TIME, IT WILL START UP AND RUN WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. I'VE MANAGED TO GET IT OVER TO THE LOCAL AUTOZONE WHILE ALL THE PANEL WAS GOING OFF, AND POWER LOSS, AND THEY MENTIONED A FEW POSSIBLE ISSUES. THE VEHICLES VOLTAGE REGULATOR MAY BE BAD, AS WELL AS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION FROM THE ECM AND MANY SENSORS(FUEL PUMP, TRANSMISSION, ETC...). WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE OR THIS COULD HAVE BECOME VERY COSTLY FOR US. BUT NONE THE LESS, SAFETY IS OF A CONCERN WHEN DRIVING THE TAHOE. ANY GUIDANCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

The drivers side door handle has broken on my Tahoe. In the event of having to urgently egress from my vehicle it would be very difficult to do so because of the handle. Now before you think I'm just a disgruntled owner you should look at the rate of occurrence. I've checked online nationally and locally with used auto part sellers and there are none to be found. If a Tahoe comes in that actually does have one intact every auto yard has a waiting list of buyers and the part is immediately gone. Shouldn't the high rate of failure of trigger at least questions from the NHTSA. I did not mention the passenger door but since it is of the same construction it would fail too if under the same use I feel. My claim is easy enough to substantiate, place a call to any used car part dealer of your choice and search for the driver's side door interior. If you do find one available, call that dealer and you'll find that it's already gone. Then ask the person on the phone about how many people they get calling for that same part. I've been searching for over a year for this one part. This complaint isn't made because I'm angry, I've simply just finally paid attention to the fact that this is a high failure part and should be investigated.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated notice that there were cracks on the dashboard by the passenger’s side air bag. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer stated that no failure was found. The contact stated that over the years the crack started to expand. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 80,000.

HIGH SPEED TIRE FAILURE L/R LESS THAN 9000 MILES EMERGENCY RESPONSE VEHICLE SPARE PUT IN TO SERVICE. OLD TIRE STILL ON OEM RIM IN OUR POSSESSION. *TR

SPARE TIRE WHEEL DIAMETER IS SMALLER THAN THE DIAMETER OF THE FOUR WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FOUR MAIN WHEELS HAVE 18" WHEELS. THE SPARE TIRE WHEEL IS A 17" DIAMETER. IF THE SPARE TIRE IS USED ON THE REAR DRIVE WHEELS, THE SMALLER SPARE WHEEL WOULD TURN AT A FASTER RPM THAN THE REGULAR TIRE. IS THIS PERMITTED? SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME.
