general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe

Tailgate opens on its own repeatedly. Has been happening for several months, even when just sitting parked. Afraid it will happen while driving. Will drain battery as well, as it happens constantly.

Stability track issues trunk issues want open or go up tires keep having to replace for no reason at all airbag recall traction control.

I took my vehicle into sunset Chevrolet in sumner washington, in November of 2022 and had them complete the takata air bag recall on the vehicle. I drove it for a few months and put it in storage. Since the recall the dash is now cracked where the dealer replaced the passenger airbag recall. It was not cracked prior to the replacement. I have talked to the dealer and they are saying they will not cover this. This is a hazard issue and can cause additional shrapnel to come flying at you if the vehicle is involved in an accident. The vehicle was stored in the garage and not driven. The dealer won't even examine the vehicle to see if the bolts were inadvertently overtightened on the technicians side. This is not right and this is something that should be covered. The vehicle has about 88k miles on it. My dash was not cracked at the time of the repair and now it is. This is not right to put me at more risk than what I was at prior to the recall. I read that the takata airbag recall stated to repair the cracked dashes. Mine cracked after gm performed the recall. This is a hazard and is something that should be taken care of. I am disabled individual.

I spoke with gm a couple of times and gm refuses to help with the cost of dash repair that could happen if the airbag recall is fixed. My dash is already damaged so the repair would totally ruin the dash and can cost over $2000. 00 if repairs are made, therefore my airbag recall cannot be completed.

My dashboard is cracked in multiple places. It is broken around the airbag. My vehicle has been garage kept. My concern is that in an accident the dashboard could shatter sending shrapnel toward driver and passenger. Further because the crack is around the airbag it could puncture the airbag on deployment rendering it ineffective resulting in serious injury or death.

Dash cracked by the passenger side airbag. Concerned if I do get in an accident that the piece will break and fly into the passenger.

I have had this vehicle since 2011 and it is used as my vehicle to and from work. It’s stored in the garage and covered at work. During covid, I did not work on site, so it was stored in the garage for 18 months. When I returned to work, I noticed a crack in the dash board in two places. It has no sun damage, no exterior damage. I am aware of a class action lawsuit with cracked dashboards. I was also informed by repair shop and my insurance that Tahoe’s (2007-2014) have issues with the dashboards cracking. Repair shop said my car is in excellent condition and this is a defect with this car. . Read more...

The dashboard is cracked from different areas throughout the dashboard. I'm concerned the dashboard will break completely while driving. I can't afford to fix the problem and replace the dashboard. The trunk door won't open. I had to pay the dealer $900 to have it replaced. I would like to get reimbursed since a car should open its trunk door. Its an SUV and I should be able to put things in the trunk without any problems.

Its the dash that keeps craking for no reason.

The stabiltrak turned off on its own and launched our vehicle to the side while we were driving 55 mph.

My 2011 started making a chirping noise. The mechanic thought it was the belts so he replaced them. Still chirped. He took it to a chevy dealer and they said its the lifters. Was told that they have been a problem on that type of engine. Because it gas 135,000 miles they say its not covered. Many reported issues on line but no recall.

1. Dashboard has been cracking for years, now the defrost vent fins are breaking off. Happens when I clean the inside of the windshield. Makes flapping noise when I use defroster. 2. The interior light switch on the passenger side front door does not work anymore. 3. The cruise control will randomly turn itself off and other times speed up by itself.

Dash has 2 different cracks in it. Unrelated to anything.

Driving on highway at night. Go to high beams and motor immediately begins to rev up/down, and run erratic. Switch beams to normal position=it stops. When depressing key fob to open and close doors, it only works frequently. Bizarre electrical issue. . . .

Ignition lock actuator bind making turning the key difficult and causing the ignition to get stuck in the start position even when turning the car off.

I received a notice today stating that the airbags on my 2011 chevy Tahoe are defective and need to be replaced. I understand replacement of the defective bags would be at no cost to me. Please let me know what to do next. My local chevy dealer is delillo Chevrolet, here in huntington beach, California. Dave weige.

The dash on my vehicle has broken 2x and is broken again causing the dash to allow an opening where items can fall into the airbag compartment causing the bag to malfunction.

Takata recall.

We had the oil changed at a lube shop in marble falls texas and the person that changed the oil told us the transmission dip stick tube was loose so he couldn't check the transmission fluid. We left the lube shop and was driving down 1431 in marble falls when a gentleman stopped us and told us the Tahoe was on fire. We popped the hood and indeed there were flames in the lower part of the engine compartment. We called the police and fire department and they came to our call within 10 minutes. In researching the problem I saw that there is a recall on the tubes but my issue is that we were never notified of the recall and the way the recall is written does not consider fire from the transmission fluid. This happened on 10/13/2015.

Hi I currently own a 2011 chevy Tahoe lt model with 78,547 mile on it and the dash is crarcked around the passenger airbag and over the instrument cluster and which I think might comprimise the airbag on deployment which would put my children and passengers at risk of a fatality in the event that an accident occurs and gm should recall this problem its not just mine but most all gm models 07-13 are affected by this and we as the customers are concerned with our passengers safety and would like to get this recalled before something fatal does occur thanks .

I believe this is a safety hazard due to the possibility of an airbag injury.

I'm not sure why I rec'd the recall notice on the 2011 chevy Tahoe. I traded that car in back in October 2014. Please remove me from your mailing for this vehicle. Thank you.

Inside of rear passenger door was full of water.

The dash is breaking apart in at least 4 places. My wife and I fear that if the air bags are deployed, either from accident or fault, the shrapnel will kill us. I will post pictures if approached. . . To large for your specification.

Dashboard split several different areas over the instrument panel and passenger airbag.
