There are numerous cracks in the dashboard around the airbag. I am worried if the air bag will prematurely deploy, or will not be able to deploy as designed with the cracks. My vehicle is a 2008 tahoe ltz. There are countless people with the same issue, with the crack in the same place. I have no idea what is going on with the electrically system and what the cracks might be doing. *tr

You can see under the cover showing all of the components under the dash! The crack that is on the drivers side is above the steering column running from the defroster to the top by the speedometer displays, etc! I feel as if these cracks, specifically the one on the passenger side, is…

The dashboard has cracked for the 2nd time it was replaced a few years ago under warranty but has cracked again in 2 places. I have a 2008 tahoe with 51000 miles. I have been in contact with gm trying to get this repaired at their experience. I have done some research and found many complaints about the dash cracking, a recall needs to be released to fix this issue. *tr

Noticed two sizeable cracks in the dashboard, one of which is right near the airbag. I researched the issue and noticed there are several other tahoe owners that are experiencing the same thing and that it is a defect in the dashboard. The cracks seem to be getting bigger and i'm concerned pieces of the dashboard will splinter creating flying projectiles if the airbag were to ever deploy. *js

Dash is cracked in three (3) locations. One location is near air bag and passenger air bag light will not engage. Dealership and gm directly have advised they will not repair. The airbag could deploy on its own, or could fail to deploy if needed, both of which are a safety issue. Dash cracks are large. Thousands of gm owners are experiencing this same issue. Electrical system has gone haywire. After three attempted…

Since i purchased the card i have used a sun shade to protect the interior of the car. Since i purchased the car there has been another crack located at the passenger airbag. My main concern is if i were to get into an accident would the dash stay intact or would the…
