Our 2009 tahoe has developed a crack in the dash at the passenger-side airbag. This is above the left upper airbag area. We learned from friends that this is a common. We researched this problem the research on-line to realize that this is obviously a major product defect. I am also somewhat concerned that this defect is at the junction of the air bag lid- a potential safety issue. The integrity of the dash at the…

The dash over my steering has busted as well as the dash around my airbag in my truck for unknown reason. The cracks continue to run. I was going to check about having it possibly patched but found that this is a common problem with hundreds of people including some i know personally. The cracking around the airbag is kind of scary. *tr

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…

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…
