2014 Chevrolet Tahoe Problems

Major electrical issues causing problems with the wipers, cruise control, break lights, sensor issues and much more

I tried to get the fan recall done. I went to Countryside Chevrolet I'm Franklin NC. They refused to do the recall. I just moved out of my house and have no address. I'm here, in Franklin NC. Trying to get the recall completed, and I need to drive to Wyoming, and I do not feel safe doing so until recall is complete. My life is in danger with the possibility of fire. And I am stuck in Franklin NC until it is completed.

Component/System Failure The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) failed to function as designed. Specifically, the driver steering wheel airbag and front passenger airbag did not deploy during a collision involving frontal impact forces. The vehicle is currently retained by the insurance carrier and is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk The failure of the SRS materially increased the risk of serious bodily injury or fatality to the vehicle occupants. The driver experienced neck pain, persistent headaches, shoulder pain, back pain, weakness, cognitive fog, and a seatbelt-related neck abrasion, consistent with unmitigated crash forces. A minor passenger was present in the vehicle and was also exposed to increased injury risk due to the lack of airbag deployment. Confirmation or Reproduction of the Problem UNKNOWN. The airbag failure has not yet been evaluated by a dealer or independent service center to determine root cause. Inspections Conducted The vehicle will be inspected by insurance representatives in connection with the collision claim. A police report was completed at the time of the accident. The manufacturer has not yet inspected the vehicle or SRS components. Warnings or Prior Symptoms No airbag warning lights, SRS indicators, messages, or fault alerts were present prior to the collision. The vehicle previously underwent a manufacturer safety recall repair related to airbags, completed by an authorized repair facility more than one year before the accident. No post-repair warnings or abnormalities were observed prior to the collision. Additional Safety Concern Despite recall compliance, both front airbags failed to deploy, raising concerns of defective components, improper recall repair, or system malfunction. This failure warrants further investigation to determine whether similar vehicles may present an ongoing safety risk.

My dash is cracked in 3 places. One is around the passenger airbag. If the air bag is deployed it could send jagged edges into the face of a passenger. Very unsafe and GM just ignores the problem. I had a cracked dash with a Lexus and they replaced the dash no problem. Why won’t GM fix this problem?

I AM WRITING TO YOU ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE IN REPLACEMENT OF MY DASHBOARD . I USE THE OCTOBER DATE AS WE HAVE NOTICED THE CRACKS OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS DIRECTLY ABOVE WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE 10000 MEMBERS ON A CRACKED DASHBOARD SITE ON FACEBOOK. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GM DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THIS. I AM CONCERNED IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THEY CAN BE IMPAILEDED WITH HARD PIECES OF PLASTIC. I LOVE MY 2014 TAHOE LTZ AND HAS PLANNED ON TRADING IT IN ON A NEW TAHOE OR SUBURBAN. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL IMPACT MY RESALE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND IM OF THE UNDERSTANDING THAT GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS AND FIX IT. I AM WORKING WITH MY DEALER BUT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CANNOT REALLY DETERMINE WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MOTION ETC. I JUST BELIEVE THAT THE CRACKING HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME. I USE A SUN VISOR FOR THE MOST PART AND LIVE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA SO IT WE DO NOT HAVE EXTREME HEAT FOR THE MOST PART.

Brake pedal hard to push and stop vehicle when braking, could possibly be defected brake vacuum pump.

WHILE PARKED, THE DRIVER'S FEMALE SEAT BELT BUCKLE END (PART #19121538) FREQUENTLY DOES NOT LATCH. IT USUALLY TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO LATCH. I VISITED A DEALER ON 11/5/20, TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD DO. THEY CONTACTED GM, WHO REFUSED TO MAKE ANY REMEDY, STATING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE BUCKLE END. IT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE TO LATCH. ALSO. THE PARKING BRAKE FAILS TO PROPERLY SECURE THE VEHICLE, EVEN WHEN PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. PROBABLY A POOR DESIGN, EVEN WHEN ADJUSTED PROPERLY.

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.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, the contact noticed a failure with the gear shifter. The contact stated that the gear shifter remained in neutral and failed to shift to any other gear. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle, but the failure persisted with the check engine warning light illuminated. The dealer was not contacted, and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 127,666.

WAS GETTING 20 TO 22 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY THEN IT SUDDENLY DROPPED TO WHERE I WOULD ONLY BE GETTING 15 TO 16 MPG. I HAVE ALSO GONE OUT AND GOTTEN GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE AND AFTER RESETING THE AVERAGE MPG I WOULD BE BACK UP TO GETTING 19 TO 20 ON CITY STREETS AND GO OUT THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND ON THE FIRST START UP AND IT WOULD DROP BACK DOWN TO 12 TO 13 ON WHILE STATIONARY AND STAY THAT WAY FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK EVEN AFTER GOING BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE EFI CLEANED AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. SO I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF A PART OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT COULD POSSIBLY NOT BE WORKING PROPERLY.

THIS VEHICLE ENDURED AND ACCIDENT IN 2017. STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY AND OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES HAS RATED THIS VEHICLE AS HIGH RISK. THE SELLER, LAFONTAINE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP DIDN'T DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION AND IT WAS MISSING ON THE CARFAX. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. SWAY BARS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK WAS REPLACED WITHIN A WEEK OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE REPAIRS; IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT THEY RUN THOROUGH TEST PRIOR TO SELLING SAFE VEHICLES. THIS TYPE OF REPAIRED SERVICE WAS LIFE THREATENING. VIN# [XXX]. SALE DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2019. LAFONTAINE DEXTER 7120 DEXTER-ANN ARBOR RD. DEXTER, MICHIGAN 48130. THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND BENEATH THE HOOD WHEN I TURNED CORNERS TO MY RIGHT AND LEFT. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER FIVE DAYS FOR REPAIRS. I DON'T HAVE UNDER BODY PICTURES FOR THE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC*TR

THE DASH HAS CRACKED AND WAS TOLD BY MY COUNTY OFFICER THAT IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. ALSO I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PUT GAS IN MY SUV DUE TO IT TAKING 27 MINUTES BECAUSE IT CLICKS OFF.

Cracked dashboard in 3 separate pieces. This is safety concern with the jagged sharp point that could cause severe injury during a crash or everyday driving. Lowers value of very high end vehicle and jeopardizes the safety of the passengers in the vehicle.

The front dash broad is cracked. I’m scared that it will affect the airbag.

Major electrical issues causing problems with the wipers, cruise control, break lights, sensor issues and much more

The low beam bulb on both sides of the vehicle keep going out. I have replaced each bulb at least 3 times. There is no moisture in the headlight and I don't see any electrical shorting on the harness. Malfunctioning headlights are a huge safety concern for my family and every other vehicle on the road. Also, my wife has gotten pulled over several times because of this. Almost every Chevy SUV and truck of the same year I see on the road have headlights out as well. Vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. The headlights started failing about two years ago.

P265/65R18 Michelin Tires: I bought the vehicle last Fall and it had these tires. I am not sure when they were purchased, but they seem to be in good condition with plenty of tread left. However, these tires are dangerous in winter conditions. They do not grip on snow and they are absolutely dangerous if there is any ice on the roads. I have driven in Minnesota and North Dakota since I got my driver's license and these tires are probably the most dangerous tires I've ever had. This morning (10/31/2023) we had just a little bit of frozen sleet on the roads from last night and it shouldn't have impacted my driving much, but going over 35mph caused slipping and loss of traction. My 2WD Pontiac sedan has much older, more worn tires and handles ice better than my 4WD Chevrolet Tahoe with these tires. I am emailing you so that you are aware that there is a potential issue with these tires. I have already contacted the manufacturer of these tires.
