I think I got a lemon

[TahoeOn30s]

I got my truck a year ago at 112k miles since then my motor went out at 135k, dash desinigrated and I got a dash cap, carpet on driver floor came out so I put n a rubber Matt, backs came off of my front seats, back part of passenger side mirror fell off, door handle fell off, gas cap won't open unless I pry it open with keys, and bumper split n half on me. Man this is my favorite vehicle I've owned but the maintenance is like a BMW! I've read all over the forums seeing that these are common problems. But it seems like it's been hit by a rock instead of like a rock!

Here's more pics of the damage. Most of the truck has been repaired and I'm getting the rest handled n the shop right now. But I am on the prowl for good seat covers.

My dash just cracked the other day and it seems to be a common theme. Here's a facebook group with almost 7000 members about cracked dashes.

I don't think you got a lemon, I think you bought a used vehicle that had been beat to crap. Completely different... I hope you're able to get it all fixed relatively cheap

^^This. Seems like a serious lack of TLC and regular maintenance. Good luck on getting her fixed up.

Maybe those thin tires are shaking your truck to death.

U could be right I was the 4th of 5th owner fortunately I found some body shops and interior shops that do good work cheap. Now i do know several other people personally that have lost door handles, lost seat backs, motors go out, and dashes crack so I'm sure those are pretty typical gm problems. Long as I don't need a transmission n next 3 months I'm good. Though Everyone been telling me 99-06 are the best years to own a Tahoe so maybe that'll be my next move.

Didn't the back bumped break because u have 30" rims and the tires rubbed and broke it? My guess is your hauling a trailer in that picture and it made the tires rub and rip that side panel off

Didn't the door handle and mirror cap break off from the bass? Subwoofers? I seen you over on the audio forum... once u get loud bass will break things and rattle everything loose.

simply as an outside observer to your situation, it looks like you beat the F out of your truck.

Somebody obviously beat the shit out of it. Too bad
