2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE — Complaint #1938925
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about AIR BAGS:PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL:CUSHION filed October 27, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1938925 (ODI reference 11552238) concerns a 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE and was filed on October 27, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 27, 2023. The report was geocoded to South Carolina based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as air bags:passenger side frontal:cushion, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET TAHOE cohort independently describe similar air bags:passenger side frontal:cushion failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
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
