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.

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.

I bought a replacement radiator core support manufactured in china. It has a defect that requires the front air bag sensors be installed facing the opposite direction from the normal orientation (rearward rather than forward). However, I suspect that may affect air bag sensor function and possibly air bag deployment during an accident. Online chats with the sensor manufacturer result in evasive answers due to potential liability. Therefore, I believe the chinese manufactured radiator core supports should be recalled.
This is a series of crack on the front dashboard. Started from the cowling over instrument panels and has spread to a section by the passenger airbag. There have been a number of GM vehicles with this same dashboard cracking but GM does nothing about it. I'm only a little over 50K miles.
On my 2013 Tahoe a crack suddenly appeared on my dash by the passages airbag. I am a true and faithful user of a windshield shade and dash conditioner that prevents cracks in dash. This crack appeared 6 months after the purchase it and have tried several times to get Chevrolet to do something about it with no luck. Now the dash is caving in which is going to affect my passenger airbag. I don't want to wait until someone is with me and it cause harm to my passenger. I shouldn't have to pay for a new dash that has had thousands of complaints dealing with dash crack problems in this kind of vehicle.
This vehicle has 55,680 miles and the upper left corner next to the passenger side air bag is cracked. Because of this dash crack, the air bag cover is lifted. Chevy won't do anything about it because it's out of warranty. Well, this is a major safety issue not to mention there have been thousands of complaint of 2007-2013 Chevy dashed cracking.
Cracked dashboard bought my 2013 Chevy Tahoe ltz. Has only 98000 miles on it. Just noticed a crack at the top left corner of the dashboard, right at the edge of the passenger airbag. Two weeks later, another cracked appeared on the driver side, from the bottom edge of the dashboard and continued up and over the instrument cluster hump. Both cracks appeared while stationary. This vehicle is primarily garaged and has a windshield cover. Very disappointed, since the new retail of this vehicle is close $50,000 brand new and costs over $1000 to replace at the dealer. Not to mention, this is our primary family vehicle, which my wife, 7 yo, 4 yo and 6 month old ride in on a daily basis.
Dashboard on the driver side is cracking and extending upwards towards the driver. Consistently rattles when vehicle is in motion. Crack is also visible on the passenger side leading towards the airbag. Both cracks were noticed when vehicle was in motion.
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
I own a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe lt. I take good care of my vehicle. Last week, I noticed multiple cracks in my dashboard in the immediate vicinity of my passenger side airbag; they seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. There was no incident beforehand that could have caused the damage. My vehicle was stationary from the last time I had used it, to the next time I entered my vehicle and noticed the dashboard cracks. I took my vehicle to preston Chevrolet, a nearby GM dealership, and I was advised by the service dept. Manager that this type of issue is not a common occurrence, although he had seen it in the past.. he further advised that he was unable to obtain or provide any sort of financial assistance to me in having the defective, damaged dashboard repaired. After researching, I found that it is quite a common problem, and what's more, that Chevy Tahoe's are the 'common denominator.' I feel that I have been mislead by preston Chevrolet. I've since contacted GM and I am awaiting a response from a "senior case advisor." I am primarily concerned about my safety and the safety of my passengers. In the event of a motor vehicle collision, I am certain that shards of plastic would be hurtled into the air, becoming dangerous projectiles that could cause serious bodily injury or harm, not to mention the poor aesthetic appearance and overall devaluation of my vehicle that the fractures have caused. This is clearly a manufacturers defect. I feel I am owed repair and/or restitution from GM as a result.
My door handle fell off on driver side twice and my other three have been replaced as well. Very cheaply made. Very disappointed I did not get what I paid for that's for sure. This has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned and the most expensive at 48,000!

The contact was concerned about the safety of the vehicle in the event of a crash necessitating the deployment of the air bag. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the dashboard fractured above the front passenger air bag housing. The contact was concerned that there was a danger in the event that the air bags were to deploy. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
The vehicle dashboard has cracked in several places to include the area surrounding the passenger airbag, and near the steering column. In the event of a vehicle crash with airbag deployment, the dashboard could fragment and become a hazardous projectile.
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
