I have a 2010 chev tahoe that is in excellent condition. My dash both front and back has cracks. I take very good care of my tahoe which you can tell by the condition it is in both outside and inside. In fact, i still have the plastic protector cover over the lens on the radio. General motors should have a recall on the dashes. Also, my air bag made by takata needs to be replaced!!! I have spoken with dealerships in…

I came out to start my car one day and noticed that my dash board cracked in two places. It seems like it happened over night theres a huge crack splitting into another one above my steering wheel and another crack on the crease of the passenger side air bag which is causing it to lift and looks like it could set off the airbag unexpectedly. Very dangerous especially as i have children in the car on a daily basis.

There are 2 cracks on the dash, one on each side which could cause harm/death to the passengers because of flying plastic should an airbag deploy. I have contacted the dealer and gm with negative results. It was first noticed in april 2015 and the vehicle had less than 32,000 miles.

The dashboard is cracking in several places. One location is right above the instrument cluster. The other is around the passenger side airbag. This is a safety hazard as an airbag deployment could result in plastic breaking free and become flying projectiles within the cabin. Like many other vehicles with this same issue, the vehicle is well maintained, garage kept, and in good working order. The way that gm…

The dashboard keeps cracking. I have had it replaced twice now and it needs to be replaced again. I am concerned about the safety during a collision or airbag deployment from sharp plastic exposed due to the cracks in the dash cutting the airbag or shards of plastic becoming projectiles potentially causing injury to occupants. *tr

I purchased my chevrolet tahoe in march of 2014. I noticed two cracks in the plastic dashboard shortly thereafter near the airbag location. I am very surprised there has not been a recall as these cracks are only going to grow and impact the entire dash membrane that houses the major control systems of the vehicle. *tr

My dash board is cracked over the instrument cluster, and around the passenger air bag. The instrument panel crack appeared right at 42,000 miles, and the passenger air bag crack happened at 51,000 miles. My chevy dealer says it is "cosmetic" so they will not cover any of the repairs, even though i am still under the "certified pre-owned" warranty. But it's going to be more than cosmetic if that air bag ever goes…

Dash board is cracked above instrument panel and at passenger air bag. I fear that if air bags were to deploy fragments of dash will be sent through cabin causing injuries to passenger and driver. Cracks are so bad that center of dash where speaker is located just flops while driving. Tahoe has been garage kept since bought from dealer in 2011 and i am original owner.

My dash has cracked in multiple places around the passenger airbag. I have seen this on every tahoe i looked at when i was in the market and am shocked that gm hasn't recalled the part or the nhtsa hasn't forced gm to correct the issue. What scares me is that the broken plastic might puncture the airbag or be throw if the airbag were to ever deploy.

Dash panel began cracking above instrument panel and spread both ways to drivers side and all the way to the passenger side air bag. It is now cracking on the other side of the airbag. Huge safety issue if the airbag were to deploy! Panel shards would either pop airbag or stab a passenger.

My dashboard had cracked in 2 places. One is right next to the airbag and its forcing the whole dash to shake. I'm hoping the cracks don't affect the airbag if it's ever needed. I have read thousands of complaints about the tahoe dashboard cracking. I'm wondering why their isn't a recall on this piece due to them all cracking by the passenger airbag. *tr

My dash board is cracked in multiple places. I am concerned that this could affect my safety, as well as the safety of my passengers, should the airbag deploy. There is no reason that the dash board should have cracked. *tr

In 2013 i noticed small cracks on the dash around the top corners of the passenger airbag. Since then, i will hear random "popping" sounds as new cracks develop on the dash above the instrument panel. There's about 3 inches left before the entire thing cracks open. There's a semi-circle piece now missing from the dash because the crack opened up entirely and the piece is now rattling somewhere in the dash... After a…

I have read thousands of complaints about the dashboard being cracked. Mine has done the same and i had taken it to the dealer to see if it was covered under warranty and they had told me no because it did not come from the factory like that. I'm thinking well no [xxx], have an electrical issue/powertrain issue/engine issue/ etc it's probably not going to come from the factory with the issue. Anyway i am trying to…
