So now it needs a motor. Dashboard is cracked up so bad you can see inside to airbag. Which sometimes…

I looked around inside my truck but didn't really notice anything because i was looking in the rear, left and right out the windows. I opened the sunroof cover & didn't notice anything, until i looked down and seen two separate…

I am concerned about a manufacturing defect in the dash of tahoes. I have read numerous complaints online from other chevy tahoe owners of various years with same exact issue. The dash is cracking at the airbag locations. At what point does this become a safety issue? Is it only after an injury or death occurs? There is already a recall on the taka airbag inflator but we remain on a "list" for repairs. Any safety…

Takata recall. The dash above steering wheel has started to crack in the last year. Could this be due to the airbag?

Two large cracks in the dashboard and now a 1' by 1.5" hole adjacent to the airbag. The dash is crumbling. This is not a result of load bearing or movement of the vehicle. It is brittle plastic.

I have two cracks, one located on the driver side dashboard and one on the passenger side above the airbag. Nothing has been done to produce such problem. I have also had to replace my heater core input valve. I have read that this has to do with the fact that the vehicle uses dex-cool. I am unsure of what to do with the fact that dex-cool has been found to eat away at hoses, o-rings, gaskets, and other parts of…

2007 chevy tahoe, dash has cracked in two places. One crack is in the left corner at the airbag (complete crack top to bottom). The second is at the left side over the steering wheel (within 1 inch being completely cracked from top to bottom). This is a defect in the materials not any incident that caused this to crack. There are hundreds of complaints and all dash cracks are basically in the same area. Very much a…

Dashboard is cracked in three locations. 1st and 2nd: over passenger side airbag from upper corners of the airbag to the air-vent panel 3rd: approximately 8 inches along the top of the driver instrument panel to the air-vent panel. Additional separation between panels is created during temperature changes or running the heater in cold weather. Have had two dealerships tell me it is a normal, known, and reoccurring…

MY DASH BOARD HAS CRACKS.

Body
Dashboard is cracking apart on both driver and passenger side. Parts of plastic are falling behind/under the dash down where the airbags are. I believe this is a safety concern as deploying airbags will most definitely cause parts of the dash to propel through the cab causing possible injury, or be punctured themselves upon deployment and prove useless. My tahoe is impeccably maintained and otherwise looks mostly…

My tahoe still looks like a new vehicle and is paid for so i would like to continue to drive it but i am so concerned with the way the dash has cracked. It started about a year ago and is cracked in 4 different locations. In one spot you can lift the dash completely open. I have 6 grandchildren and do not like having to worry about structures in my vehicle potentially injuring them or anyone else that may get…

My 2007 tahoe has a nice dashboard cover over it. Upon removal one day, i noticed that the dash was severely cracked. Large, sharp, and jagged pieces completely broke off. After research i found that this is due to a defect in the dashboard. Since the dashboard has never experienced an impact, it must be due to the heat like in the many other cases. However, i live in southern california on the coast so it is not…
