Dashboard near windshield is cracking and making noise. It's the panel near the windshield inside the vehicle and goes around the air bag. The material used to make the panel is weak and may explode if airbag goes off on passenger side.

Takata recall - i received a recall notice over a year ago. I call the dealer on a monthly basis and to date, they still do not have an eta for a fix. My wife is uncomfortable driving her tahoe and since there is an active recall, our resale value is impacted as well.

Tahoe dash is cracking in two spots. The first is on the corner of the passenger airbag. A very dangerous spot for a jagged edge to be next to an airbag. The 2nd is a much larger crack in the dash that appeared a year later over the instrument hump. I see many cases of tahoe's and suburban's online with the same problem. When i see another tahoe in a parker lot, i always check, and 9 out of 10 times they have the…

Takata recall - my srs light came on in my truck stating that maintenance needed to be preformed. Shortly afterwards, my dash cracked in front of the airbag compartment. I feel this is a safety hazard to anyone sitting in the passenger seat.

Three large (and growing) cracks in my dashboard. One around the housing of the airbag. The other two are above the steering wheel. Very concerned that if air bag deploys, dash material from broken piece may become a projectile or puncture the airbag not allowing it to work. I see gm says it is a know design defect but there is no recall. Chevrolet dealer told me it is #1 repaired item on tahoe.

The dash at the corner of my passenger side airbag cracked and now the entire dash rattles. I am worried about how this affects the airbag now. The dash was vibrating so much and it just keeps getting worse. I have looked online and apparently, i am not even close to being the only one with this problem. Please help!

Purchased vehicle in october 2015. Did not see a crack at time of purchase. Was wiping down the dash one day and noticed a small crack up the center of the steering column. That was mid january. Has now cracked from the middle above the steering column across the dash to the left side corner of the air bag compartment. Dash is unstable. Concerned it will cause airbag to go off prematurely. If in an accident and the…

Cracked dashboard. This is a common issue gm fails to acknowledge. The danger is the plastic shattering if the airbag deploys and because of the material defect in the plastic, large sharp shards can be shot into the cabin area if airbag deploys (shrapnel).

The dashboard on my 2010 chevrolet tahoe has two severe cracks...one above the instrument panel and the other beside the passenger side airbag. It would seem that this crack could interfere with the effectiveness of the airbag. This is a known issue with these vehicles.

The dashboard has cracked near the air bag on the passenger side which appear to be a safety issue if it may cut or impair the proper inflation of the airbag.

My dash is cracked in 4 different places. One crack extends to the airbag and i am afraid if the airbag were to deploy pieces of the dash would break off and potentially hit someone. It is also very annoying because it rattles constantly.

Driving along one day at 45 mph and the dashboard just cracked. Mine has cracked over the instrument panel. I have a friend who has the same crack as well as a crack over the air bag on the passenger side. The cracked dash is a known problem that needs to be corrected, i am also concerned what may happen if the air bag goes off with what is obviously a brittle dash.

Cracks have formed in the dashboard for no reason. It started with one crack above the instrument cluster, which continues to worsen, and now one has formed by the passenger airbag, which has me concerned for safety should the airbag need to deploy.
