    My dash has been cracking and i have a crack in between the passenger airbag. I'm very concerned about this problem. I'm afraid that the airbag can deploy and enger my passenger in there face. I've tried to address this issue with the dealership, but i've gotten no help, especially now since my warranty has expired. I really hope i can get some help with this major problem and concern i have with my dash.

    I noticed a crack in my dashboard going to my air bag on the passenger side. The crack in the dashboard could possibly alter the deployment of the passenger airbag and has compromised the integrity of the dashboard as a whole. There have since developed two additional, larger cracks in the dashboard, furthering the dashboard integrity problem. I have reported this to chevy and gm and they both refuse to accept that…

    Dash cracked on my 2009 chevrolet tahoe cracked around the airbags in about the year of 2013. If the airbags should deploy, the dash would most likely send shards of the dash flying. The dash cracked and split around the airbag without any anything setting on the dash. The tahoe has been located in california.

    Like everyone else i have spoken to with 2007-2013 year model chevrolet vehicles my dashboard is cracked because of a design flaw. I am worried that my passenger side air bag will not work correctly because of the crack. I have contacted gm for help but they offer nothing. The crack has gotten worse over the years and is now really bad. Gm is pitiful

    Cracks in the dashboard of my 2009 chevrolet tahoe have been appearing over the past 7 months. Gm and chevrolet refuse to acknowledge a fleetwide problem and will only pay for partial repairs. One of the cracks is in approximation to the passenger side airbag and how the airbag deployment will affect the dashboard (and vica versa) is unknown and worrisome. Gm and chevrolet refuse to pay for a defective part…

    Dashboard is cracking in multiple places, pieces falling off inside dash and rattling. 2 places on dash where passenger airbag deploys. This has happened over the past 3 years and keeps getting worse. Afraid of airbag deployment on passenger side with the cracks on the deployment area and possibly having shards of hard dash pieces flying and hitting/hurting someone else or myself.

    The first thing that happened is our right front door lock actuator went out and we just thought it was broken and have not had it fixed and then the service air bag warning light has been coming on for several thousand miles. Then the truck would not start and we replaced the battery but even after doing that there are times when the truck electrical system just goes dead and we can open the hood shake the wires or…
