    Dash cracked in several places. This is a very common defect in gm silverados, tahoes, suburbans, yukons and avalanches. At this point the main concern is the fact that the high majority of cracks on all affected dashes are against/next to passanger air bag. If deployed dash fragments will become projectiles. As times goes on several other cracks have appeared and at this time gm has refused to address

    In our 2007 chevrolet tahoe the dash is cracked just above the passenger side airbag which could cause serious injury in a crash. The interior wiring must be faulty, the passenger window sometimes won't roll down from drivers side, but sometimes it will. Also our battery mounts different than what is called for in automotive centers (top mount , not side) making it difficult to order proper battery for this vehicle.…

    Dash has cracked in two separate areas. One above the driver side instrument panel and one above the passenger side airbag. I called two different chevrolet dealerships on two separate occasions, neither of which willing to correct or report to gm. Entire repair would be at owner expense. Dash has had very little sunlight exposure.

    The dash cracked on the passenger side at the corner of where the passenger airbag deploys. Approximately two weeks ago a larger crack appeared on the driver side dash above the instrument cluster. Gm knows this is a rampant issue but fails to show integrity and take responsibility for the thousands of cracked dashes in tahoe, yukon, avalanche, sierra, and silverado trucks. *tr

    There are 2 cracks in the dash. One crack is 2" long, near the passenger side airbag. The other crack is 7" long, driver side, "hump" above the instrument cluster. I have done extensive research on this problem to see if its an anomaly. It isn't. I am a member of a facebook group who has the exact same problem with their tahoes and similar models.

My airbag service light came on while driving from texas to nevada and does not shut off. The dealership said they do not cover this anymore since it is out of warranty and i would have to pay for parts and labor for servicing the air bag system. I do not…

    Car has not been in an accident. Just concerns like so many other gm customers. There is a crack that is at the airbag, on the passenger side, that keeps getting bigger. Concerned that airbag might deploy, or not work at all. Have contacted gm corporate several times telling them about the same issue that other customers are having in this same area. When contacting gm they tell me that they have not heard of this…

    Takata recall - i was notified that the air bags for my 2007 chevrolet tahoe were under recall. It is my understanding that the replacement of the defective airbags has now been prioritized by vehicle age and region. My tahoe has always resided in hot, humid south texas. I purchased this truck in june 2006 - so it has been in service over 10 years. I would think this would quality for priority scheduling for the…
