CarComplaints.com Notes: This might be the Tahoe sweet spot. The 2013 has a great safety rating (as long as you don't roll it over), tons of room and few complaints. What it doesn't have is the interior accessory problems of the older or newer generations.

The dash has cracked on the passenger side. The crack starts on the left side of passenger air bag and continues upward. Started small and seemed to get larger overnight. Vehicle is garage kept. No reason for this. Scares me if airbag deploys will plastic explode into someone. From what I have read, this seems to be quite a problem with these dashes.

Dashboard has several cracks. Three around the airbag box which are extremely concerning! I try to always have my Tahoe in cool places to prevent extreme temperatures and further damage but still notice the cracks growing. I understand there have been many GM owners having to deal with similar problems.there must obviously be a defect in the material or the assembly of this part. Being both a safety concern and a customer satisfaction issue, I am really looking forward to options for resolving this matter.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the dashboard had premature extensive cracks that could affect the structural integrity of the air bag components. The cracks extended on both sides, but primarily near the front passenger side. The dealer (pinkerton Chevrolet, 925 N electric rd, salem, va 24153, (800) 813-5960) inspected the vehicle and diagnosed that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and refused to assist with the dealer's repair to replace the part. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.

The passengers side front door handle literally fell off when opening the door. Was out of warranty due to mileage. Had to pay $250 to replace. The passenger door is not used daily, and was not being pulled hard, was being opened by a 50+ year old with average torque for that age.

The dash of my 2013 Tahoe which I paid 48,000 cracked in two places soon as my warranty expired! all of my door handles on outside have fallen off and been replaced ed and the driver door panel has been replaced because of handle breaking. Too much other mess to explain. Just a very cheaply made vehicle. Very dissatisfied !I would like to file a formal complaint followed up with a formal investigation

As with many other complaints there is a crack in the dash. I feel this is unsafe if there is ever an accident that occurs and the air bag will need to deploy. I just purchased this car 30 days ago and now have a crack in the dash. By readingup on this, there is so many complaints. I have had in the past a 2004 Tahoe with no, complaints.I feel that GM should get off there pocket books and recall this. This Tahoe only has 48,000 miles. Practically brand new. Come on GM do the right thing. If an accident occurs and I loose an eye or suffer facial damage due to flying debris from a cracked dash that will be on you. I also have a Camry. They recalled there dash just because its sticky. Step up made in the usa. Please. After paying $29000. For a car this should be fixed. This car was sitting still when this happened.

Cracked dashboard. This started as a small problem a year ago when I took it to the dealer and was told it was not covered under warranty and I would have to pay $1600 to get it replaced. The four cracks continue to get bigger and neither the dealership nor manufacturer will recognize it for anything more than cosmetic damage I need to fix even though I did nothing to cause this damage. I can hear the crack continue to get bigger both when it's parked in the driveway and driving down the road in all conditions.
