2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE Unknown Or Other Problems

While barely moving, (about 2 mph), in a parking lot & preparing to make a sharp left turn, knuckle of driver's side wheel assembly suddenly broke, causing the wheel assembly to collapse, wheel top tilted inward and bottom tilted outward, causing major damage to upper and lower control arms, tie rod and significant body damage to two body parts at the wheel opening. Mechanic reported that there had been very excessive ‘play’ before the collapse At 86,000 miles, this is a very low-mileage for this degree of wear and complete failure, on a full-size, PPV SUV, with many heavy-duty features, designed to tolerate high stress usage. FORTUATELY, the car was barely rolling. If this had happened 5 minutes later, I would have been driving 65 mph and this would have caused a catastrophic wreck, could have involved several other cars, and could have injured or even killed many people. I am now very concerned about the condition of the knuckle on the passenger side. It could be developing microscopic cracks that would only be observable with X-ray. ESPECIALLY with this defect being on a very popular police model, Highway Patrol PPV vehicle, more failures will endanger many people.

My dash is very cracked. I do keep it covered, but it doesn’t make the issue disappear. Upon research I have seen that this is a very common issue and that legal action was taken in 2018. It causes a safety concern.

4-5 inch crack in dash above instrumemt panel 1 inch crack on each corner at the top of each corner of the passanger air bag on the top dash no further cracks at this time a report of this has been made two years ago just incase they deside to recall and replace the dash in the near future

Front inside door handle to pull door close plastic broke. To replace you need a whole new inside door panel just to replace the cracked pull handle.

DASH CRACKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND GM NEEDS TO FIX IT. EVERY ONE I HAVE SEEN DOES THIS. THEY CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG ORIGINALLY, WHICH MINE IS. IT IS BEGINNING TO CRACK IN OTHER PLACES. THE SHARP EDGES HAVE CUT MY FINGER BEFORE WHILE JUST WIPING THE DASH. THE SHARP EDGES COULD ALSO CUT INTO ELECTRICAL WIRES DOWN THE ROAD. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND STORED INDOORS AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE SHARP CRACKED EDGES LIKE THIS FROM NORMAL USE.

LAST YEAR AROUND APRIL 2020 I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED.OVER THE LAST YEAR ANOTHER CRACK FORMED ON THE LEFT PASSENGER SIDE LOCATED WHERE THE AIR BAG IS AND THE DASH IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER HAS CRACKED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER GOING DOWN TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD, IT IS BEGINNING TO SPLIT INTO 3 SEPARATE CRACKS. MY VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT, SO I KNOW THE HEAT FROM THE SUN DID NOT CAUSE MY DASH TO CRACK IN 3 SEPARATE PLACES. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO FAULTY AIRBAGS. SO I DECIDED TO EDUCATE MYSELF ON THE RECALL AND AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THEIR VEHICLE'S DASH CRACKING AS WELL.. LETS SEE, FAULTY AIR BAGS ALONG WITH CRACKED DASHES WHERE THE AIR BAGS ARE LOCATED GUESS ITS NOT A COINCIDENCE. GUESS IT WON'T BE A COINCIDENCE WHEN THE FAULTY AIR BAG GOES OFF AND THE CRACKED PLASTIC DASH GOES FLYING AND SEVERALLY INJURES OR CAUSES DEATH TO A LOVED ONE. I WONDER HOW MANY DRIVERS AND/OR PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN INJURED OR ARE DECEASED DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT.

MY DASH IS CRACKED AND BROKEN TO THE POINT IT MAY COLLAPSE IN THE MIDDLE. I HAVE CRACKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ANOTHER ONE ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER THAT RUNS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. IT IS CRACKED SO BADLY ACROSS THE LENGTH OF THE DASH THAT IT HANGS LOOSELY AND RATTLES WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE USED A SUNLIGHT VISOR SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS DAMAGE IS NOT MY FAULT. I HAVE LOOKED AT REPLACING THE DASH MYSELF BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO DO SO RIGHT NOW AND I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO COLLAPSE. THIS IS A "MOM" RIDE, I CARRY MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE GOT INTO A WRECK? WOULD PIECES OF THE DASH FLY OFF AND POSSIBLY INJURE ONE OF THEM? PLEASE HELP

DASH CRACKING SEVERAL AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT

ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO MY WIFE NOTICES CRACK LINE ABOUT 4 INCHES ON THE DRIVES SIDE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD, A WEEK AGO SHE NOTICED ANOTHER CRACK HAD STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOING INTO THE PASSENGERS AIR BAG COVER FROM THE TOP VENT, BECAUSE THIS SO CLOSE TO THE AIR BAG I STARTED TO DO SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND SOME COMPLAINTS AND SOMETHING THAT SAID GM WON'T WARRANTY THIS ISSUE.I HAVEN'T BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP YET BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS NOTHING BUT NOW THAT IS NEAR THE AIR BAG I WILL, HOPE THIS HELPS ANYBODY WITH THE SAME ISSUE OR MAYBE I COULD GET SOME MORE INFO IN CASE THIS IS NOT COVER BY GM

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND BROKE OFF.

APRIL OF 2016 THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2012 TAHOE HAD CRACK TO SHOW UP AT MY AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO ASK IF THIS IS A HAZARD. THEY AGREE THAT THE LOCATION MADE IT A HAZARD. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT I WAS NOT THE FIRST TO COME TO THEM WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THE EXACT SAME AREA. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT IN PLACE TO HAVE THE DASHBOARD REPLACE BY GMC. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT OTHER CRACKS WOULD FORM OVER TIME BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE CORRECT. A FEW MONTHS LATER ANOTHER CRACK SHOWED UP ON MY DRIVER SIDE. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ONCE AGAIN SAID THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE ELSE. I ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THEY COULD REPLACE IT BUT THEN SAID, THAT GMC SHOULD REALLY STEP UP AND MAKE THIS A RECALL. AS I RESEARCH THIS ONLINE, I FOUND WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE 2012 GMC TAHOE. THIS IS HAZARD TO ANYONE THAT IS IN THE CAR. ACCORDING TO THE EXPERTS AT MY DEALERSHIP, THE CRACK AT THE AIRBAG COULD GET CUT OR MESS IT UP FROM DEPLOYING. PLUS IF I WAS TO GET INTO A WRECK THE PIECES COULD EASILY BREAK OFF AND CAUSE MORE PHYSICAL HARM. WE HAVE SPENT A LOT ON BUYING THIS TOP OF THE LINE 2012 GMC LTZ TAHOE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT OVER TIME DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE VEHICLE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACE LIKE RUBBER SEALS AROUND THE DOOR, DOOR HANDLES & OTHER THINGS THAT COME WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. HOWEVER, REPLACING A DASHBOARD SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS LIST. ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER VEHICLES. THE CRACKS ARE HAPPENING IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT IN BOTH PLACES. THE CRACKS ARE GETTING WORSE. I REALLY WOULD HOPE THAT GMC WOULD STEP UP & DO THE RIGHT THING TO PLACE A RECALL ON THE DASHBOARD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. IF THEY CARE ABOUT PEOPLES LIVES, THERE SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM.

CRACKED DASH AS MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED AROUND AIRBAG ETC. THIS CAN CAUSE SOME MAJOR INJURIES IF AIRBAGS DEPLOY.

I NEED MY CRACKED DASH REPLACED OR FIXED. IT JUST CRACKED ONE DAY. NO ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING IT WAS PARKED AND CRACKED. I BELIEVE IT'S A FAULTY DASH. WE HAVE AN 2004 TAHOE AND DASH HAS NEVER DONE THIS. FROM WHAT I'VE READ GM PURCHASED SOME DASH FROM ANOTHER COMPANY BUT REALIZED THEY WERE PROBLEMS AND WENT BACK TO ORIGINAL COMPANY. SO THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM . . THE CRACK IS ON THR DRIVERS SIDE AND GROWING.

APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTED TO CRACK IN MY 2012 CHEVY TAHOE. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN A HEATED GARAGE AND OUT OF THE SUNLIGHT. ON DECEMBER 1, 2015 IS THE DATE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER TALKED ME INTO PUTTING A NANO TECHNOLOGY COATING ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO KEEP IT IN LIKE NEW CONDITION, WHICH COST ME $899. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SHOWED THEM AND THEY WERE GOING TO LET ME KNOW IF ABRA WOULD FIX IT, HOWEVER, AFTER 2 MONTHS STILL NO RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN YESTERDAY. THE OTHER THING IS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS CRACKED UNDERNEATH AND SO WHEN YOU CLOSE THE DOOR IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO PULL THE DOOR VINYL RIGHT OFF.

SEVERE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD

Mileage: 100,000

I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE FIRST CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD APPEARED BUT I NOTICED IT ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEN ON 05/16/17, I CRANKED THE CAR, PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AND STARTED DOWN THE PARKING GARAGE RAMP. THAT'S WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRACKING NOISE. SO I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. AFTER I PULLED OUT AND STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT I LOOKED AND THE DRIVER SIDE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAD A LARGE V SHAPED CRACK IN IT. BECAUSE THE DASH IS BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES IT BOUNCES UP AND DOWN VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I GOT HOME I WAS TAKEN PICTURES AND NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKS ON BOTH SIDES. AT LEAST 10 CRACKS. IT LOOKS AS IF THE DASHBOARD WAS HIT BY AN EARTHQUAKE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF GM CARS. IT DEFINITELY IS A DEFECTIVE PART BUT EVEN MORE I'M CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAGS MALFUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE ENTIRE DASH WOULD EXPLODE.

2012 TAHOE DASHBOARD CRACKED FOR THE SECOND TIME APPARENTLY DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED LESS THAN ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASING IT AND 2 YEARS LATER IT CRACKED AGAIN. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND CRACKS APPEARED FOR NO KNOWN REASON. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF GM VEHICLES AND GM HAS NOT HAD A RECALL. SINCE THE AIR BAGS ARE LOCATED IN THE DASH, THERE COULD BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, GM IS STILL USING THE SAME MATERIAL AND OWNERS HAVE TO PAY FOR PART OR ALL OF THE REPLACEMENT AFTER ORIGINAL 3-YEAR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. IF IT CRACKS AGAIN AFTER ONE YEAR OF INSTALLATION, WE ARE LOOKING AT ANOTHER REPAIR BILL!

CRACKED DASH RIGHT WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. I PARK MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AND USE SUNSHADES WHEN NOT PARKED INSIDE. MY TAHOE IS NOT THAT OLD. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF IT, AND THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR THE DASH TO CRACK. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THERE MAY BE TOO MUCH PRESSURE FROM THE AIRBAG BEING INSIDE THERE CAUSING IT TO CRACK. IT'S DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I'M NOT SURE THE AIRBAG WILL WORK PROPERLY IF NEEDED.

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH, AT THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNED OF THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION SINCE I PURCHASED IT NOR DO I DO ANY KIND OF OFFROADING ON ROUGH TERRAIN. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WOKE UP ONE MORNING, GOT IN THE TRUCK AND THE CRACK WAS THERE. THE EVENING PRIOR, THERE WAS NO CRACK IN THE DASH. I DO NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC CAUSE OF THIS CRACK. WHILE DOING RESEARCH, I NOTICED THAT OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE HAVE EXPERIENCED AIRBAG FAILURES WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS AND AT LEAST ONE FATALITY. THE CRACK TENDS TO EXPAND WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT AND CONTRACTS TO ALMOST AN UNNOTICEABLE STATE WHEN COOL.
