2014 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV 4WD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV 4WD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i purchased a 2014 chevrolet tahoe ltz around july 10th, 2021 from an individual in georgia. the vehicle has been immaculately maintained with no damages on it at all. i had researched any recalls on the vehicle before i even looked at it. i found that there was one for an airbag problem. long story short, i purchased the vehicle and the previous owner took it for the recall issue to be repaired before i picked it up. about 2 weeks after i got it, i noticed that the dashboard was vibrating and that was not anything that was happening when i purchased it. i thought it might just be loose. i’m only 5 feet tall so i could not see over the domed instrument panel when driving. it was only when my daughter drove it that she was the one who noticed the very large crack. it’s cracked on both sides with the largest being on the driver’s side. the crack covers the entire dashboard from the windshield to the dome over the instrument panel. i feel that this is a serious safety issue. i have recently discovered that there was a lawsuit against gm asking for these vehicles to be recalled for this problem. apparently it happens quite a bit!! i called the dealership that repaired the airbag issue but of course they couldn’t or wouldn’t help me. i know these dashboards are expensive to replace..upwards of $2000. i wanted to file a complaint because as i said earlier, this is a safety concern for me. can you help?"

Complaint:
"similar to many other complaints previously filed, the dash board on my 2014 tahoe has numerous cracks. the cracks were first identified in april 2018 and have continued to grow in size and number. it has been inspected by a riverside chevrolet in wetumpka, al but this is not a part of a current safety recall. there is significant and growing concern that if the vehicle is involved in an accident that the passenger-side airbag will not work properly (having been cut by sharp pieces of the broken dash) or will propel pieces of the dash toward the occupants of the vehicle. this needs to be investigated so that gm will be forced to issue a safety recall for this known problem."

"the dashboard in my vehicle like many other peoples dashboard has cracked completely. i was told that this a huge problem with all 2014 chevy tahoe's. i believe gm should fix this problem for me and all the others affected. this will cost me a substantial amount of money to be fixed and nothing was done other than me driving and parking my car. i read this could affect my airbags as well."
