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.

Dash board is cracked around passenger side airbag and driver side steering wheel. Chevrolet dealer refused to replace it even under extended warranty. If I am ever in a accident that bag deploys, pieces of the dashboard will become projectiles. I escalated with and GM with no reply.
Low mileage vehicle, stored in a garage at work and at home. Dashboard cracked at passenger side airbag. Serious safety issue as plastic parts from broken dashboard can become deadly missiles during airbag deployment and potentially harm or cause death to passenger (my child). Spent nearly $600 for a dashboard assembly that should have never required replacing.
I was driving home on the highway when I heard a loud pop. I thought a rock had hit my windshield. When I arrived home I saw some white material which looked like cotton on the dash. After further inspection I realized that the "pop"was my dashboard cracking. My car is garaged accept when I am at work, which when there are sun protectors on my dashboard during the warm months. My Tahoe only has 76,000 miles on it.
Concern of brittle plastic dash pieces causing further injury in a crash or airbag deployment. Seem to be a problem with GM dashboards between 2007-2013. This a a well maintained vehicle garage kept and regularly detailed with uv protectant. The dash should not be this brittle.
Cracking in the dashboard that has carried into the airbag section of the dash that prevented deployment in an accident on both passenger and driver sides of dash
The dashboard has cracked in my 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe putting the passenger at risk during an accident. Since the crack runs down to the airbag it could possible shatter the plastic and damage passengers. I have found this to be a very common issue and that injuries have occurred due to this unsafe dash. This needs to be a safety recall for the safety of the drivers and passengers.
My traction and stabilitrak system will have random alerts that will go on and off for no reason. My dash has also cracked by front passenger airbag and my front driver's side and now makes cracking noises at times and now rattles when driving.
I own a 2013 Chevy Tahoe and out of no where the dash board cracked around the passenger air bag. Within a day the crack made the dashboard drop and now has spread within a week to above the steering column. As this relates to the airbag, I consider it a safety hazard and a defect. I can provide photos if appropriate.
I have a 2013 Chevy Tahoe Z71 with approximately 45,000 miles. There are a total of three cracks in my dashboard one on the drivers side above the instrument panel and the other two are on the passenger side right above the passenger airbag. I was told by GM that I would have to repair the dash myself and pay out of pocket.
Dash is cracked next to the steering cowling and next to the airbag. This is a problem for all GM trucks and SUVS from 2007 thru 2014. This may compromise the airbag from deploying and injuring the driver with shredded pieces of plastic dashboard. GM refused to pay to replace defective dashboard.
My dash has cracked above the passenger side airbag and in front of the drivers side below the instrument panel cover. It also vibrates in the middle of the dash up & down when the vehicle is running sitting still or while driving down the road.
My dash has two cracks: One near the left corner of the passenger air bag and one on the right mid point of the curve over the control section of the dash. I have see where this is a design problem and many people have the same cracks. I noticed the first crack May 5, 2018 and the second crack May 25, 2018. I noticed them when my vehicle was parked. I am very concerned about how unsafe this is with the passenger airbag and possible flying debris in the event of an accident. My car is still under warranty.
