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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Dash board is cracked over the instrument cluster. I am concerned the airbag will shred pieces of the dashboard into my truck cabin causing serious injury or death. The plastic used for this dash is very flimsy, thin, and cheap, yet the cost to replace and repair is over 1,000! ridiculous. At almost 50,000 dollars new, Chevrolet should take care of their customers investment, and NHTSA should ensure our safety with this defective product. My 2013 Chevy Tahoe has only 50,000 miles and is garage kept. I use a reflector in the windshield daily when at work.
Crack across the dashboard and airbags. Which if airbag deploys could send harmful chunks of plastic through the cabin. Turned on vehicle one day and heard a pop.

The dashboard has cracked next to the passenger side airbag decreasing structural integrity of the dash and increasing the risk of plastic shards being ejected at the passenger during airbag deployment. Manufacturer is aware of the issue and refuses to replace dashboard. Vehicle is on 3 years old
The dashboard has cracked next to the passenger side airbag decreasing structural integrity of the dash and increasing the risk of plastic shards being ejected at the passenger during airbag deployment. This is a well documented defect affecting multiple models and years that share the same dashboard design. The manufacturer is aware of the issue and refuses to voluntarily address the problem.
Cracked dash dash is cracked in the area of the passenger side airbag. This poses a safety concern in the event of an airbag deployment as fragments of broken dash would become projectiles within the cab of the vehicle
Cracked dashboards. My car has 11K miles, I bought it with 6K miles and have owned it for 4 months and noticed the other day that the dashboard has a giant crack across it not due to any impact.
Dash is cracking around passenger airbag. Vehicle is garage kept and a sun visor used when parked in the sun. This vehicle has never been in a collision and none of the air bags have ever deployed in this vehicle. The crack seems cosmetic but given the location, I am concerned about the integrity of the air bag assembly
I noticed a tiny crack in my dashboard on August 15th. Since that time it has grown 4 inches and veered off another 2 inches a different direction. My vehicle is garage kept and I am a stay at home mother. My car is rarely parked in the sun for long amounts of time.
On Monday 05/25/15 my husband noticed a small crack in the dash on the drivers side. I have watched in the past couple days it grow in size and have taken pictures to document it too. I am upset as this is a new car I purchased used from a GM dealer. I have read that another crack is soon to be expected on the passenger side by airbag and causing it to possible deploy or deemed unusable. I have 2 small children and no safety is a concern. This issue needs to be resolved quickly.
I was driving up a grade during a snow storm and when I tried to select 4WD I had to take my eyes off the road to find the 4WD control knob, which is hidden behind the steering wheel. I consider this a serious problem because I nearly wrecked while trying to locate the 4WD control knob. I blame this on faulty engineering by GM!
