The dash in my tahoe recently cracked, & upon looking on the web, appears to be in the same place as many others' issue. I'm not sure when the crack happened (driving, parked, etc.), but it became visible to my attention the other day after some cold evenings (cold for san francisco bay area). I use a sunshade when possible. It is a regular driver. Image below is not my vehicle but almost an exact placement version…

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…

You can not tell one picture from another because…

My oldest son bought a 2010 tahoe. I loved it and apparently made a mistake when i traded in my toyota for a 2010 tahoe. Last year our youngest son and his wife also purchased a tahoe (2011). All three have dashboards that are now cracking. Obviously a defect in the product. Is gm going to do anything about this problem? From what i am reading it appears to be a nationwide issue with these vehicles. The crack in my…

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

Not sure if it is a safety issue but i have had areas of cracking on the top of the dashboard. I have never seen a vehicle have this condition with only 45000 miles on it and the fact that it is garaged frequently. There is also peeling of some type of coating in the center of the steering wheel. *tr

As i was riding down the interstate i heard a load pop or cracking sound. I looked around the vehicle and couldn't find where it came from. When i got home i inspected it a bit further and found that the dash had cracked right above the instrument panel on the drivers side. I couldn't believe my eyes. A few weeks later the same sound occurred and i noticed a crack by the passenger side airbag. Although it wasn't big…

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

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…
