Upon inspection of the dashboard it has cracked both above the steering wheel on the left side and at the corner of the airbag on the passenger side. I am concerned that if this cracks any worse the airbag may deploy and injure a passenger or it may cause the steering column to malfunction if the dashboard falls. Chevy should be recalling this so that no one is injured. *tr

I have cracks in my dashboard at the instrument panel and at the passenger air bag. I believe that this is from lack of quality as the truck has been kept in a garage. I believe it's a safety issue and needs to be addressed and recalled by gm especially considering the amount of people having the same issue.

Chevy tahoe dash cracked and began breaking apart. Crack above passenger airbag that would likely result in sharp projectiles if airbag deployed. Crack also occurred above instrument cluster. Dash was replaced in january 2012 and then cracked and had to be replaced again approx. 1.5 years later in 2013. This is a major defect. A google search of chevy tahoe/suburban cracked dash will illustrate the extent of this…

My dash is cracking in two places above my airbags. The cracks are causing my dash to bulge. It has been brought to my attention that numerous 2007 tahoe's and yukon's all have dash cracks in the same areas. I have contacted gm about this problem and have not received any help. I am worried it will affect my airbags deploying. *tr

Dash board crack. The crack appears to have compromised the dashboard all the way to the passenger-side airbag and a much larger crack above the instrument panel. If something were to happen...i was in a wreck, and the airbag were to deploy...there's shards of dash going through the cab. I am the original owner on this 2007 tahoe.

It's actually the very common dashboard cracks, which inevitably will effect my airbag in the event on an accident. After an accident happens, it'll be too late. I purchased a used 2007 tahoe with an extended warranty in 2010. I've had the very cracked dash replaced 4 times by chevy while under warranty - with them fighting it. If possible, i think the very quality of the plastic decreased since problems arose…

I have had the dash crack in 4 different places; two on the driver side on each side of the steering column and two other around the airbag. The two around the airbag have made it so that there is free piece of plastic that is not secured by anything. I am afraid that if the air bag was to deploy then this piece would cause great bodily harm to anyone in the vehicle. The manufacturer knows of this issue and is not…

Serious and extensive cracking of the dashboard above the instrument cluster and at the passenger side air bag. The crack would cause dangerous caving of the entire dashboard area in the event of a crash and could interupt the efficient deployment of the airbag system.

Shortly after, the cracks have extended and are approximately 2-3 inches in length . Also a crack above the instrument cluster began and has traveled to the front of the dash. The concern and immediate danger is that if…

The dash has two cracks around the airbag housing and three other cracks (2 over 5" long). Concern is mainly at airbag location as i am not sure if this affects the stability of the airbag, if the airbag will perform properly in a collision, or if the plastic pieces will become projectiles in the event of airbag deployment. *tr

The first incident occurred in april 2010, had the dash replaced under warranty approximately sept/oct 2010. The second incident occurred in august 2012. Same cracks in dash around airbag. I can't help but wonder if these cracks compromise the airbag in any way. Or if the vehicle is involved in a collision will…
