2014 Chevrolet Tahoe Body & structure Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT AREAS. I SEE THAT MANY DASHBOARD BETWEEN 2013 AND 2017 CHEVY TAHOES HAVE CRACK. ONE OF THE CRACKS LEADS INTO THE COMPARTMENT THAT HOLDS THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. THESE CRACKS ARE NOT FROM NEGLECT AND THESE CRABS ARE NOT FROM HEAT BECAUSE I USE SUN VISORS DAILY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I'M BLACK ON BLACK AND IT KEEPS THE CAR MUCH COOLER. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES AND I FEEL THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS. THIS IS A $70,000 VEHICLE WHEN NEW. I CANNOT SAY EXACTLY WHEN I NOTICED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE IT IS FLAT ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAPPENED FIRST FIRST NOTICED PROBABLY JANUARY 2020 BUT MAY HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE THAT ???

MY 2014 TAHOE DASH IS CRACKED BETWEEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE WINDSHIELD VENT. I IS JUST HARD PLASTIC. I HAVE A SUNROOF AND KEEP IT OPEN DURING THE HOT MONTHS AND THE WINDOWS ARE CRACKED TO ALLOW THE HOT AIR TO ESCAPE. I ALSO KEEP HUGE SUN SHADES IN THE WINDSHIELD. I TRIED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. ALL SHE COULD DO WAS TRY TO MEND THE CRACK BUT DIDN'T HAVE ANY LUCK IN FILLING THE GAP. SHE SAID SHE SEES A LOT OF THESE AND BELIEVES IT IS DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. I BELIEVE IT TOO. MY DASH STILL MOVE UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPAIRED OR REPLACED AT GM'S EXPENSE. I HAVE ASKED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP HOW MUCH FOR THEM TO INSTALL A NEW ONE. IT WOULD BE $ 1,500.00. I NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT TO DO BECAUSE IT INVOLVES THE AIRBAG. I AM A DEVOTED CHEVY OWNER AND HAVE SPENT WAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE CHEAP PLASTIC AS A DASHBOARD.
