The passenger side front interior chrome door handle has begun peeling which results in a sharp edge on the door handle which results in minor cuts on human hands when a person pulls on the handle to open the door. This is the same issue experienced with 2007 chevy tahoe which resulted in nhtsa ea 10004. Nhtsa ea 10004 resulted in chevrolet extending warranty on this issue for 100,000 miles or 10 years. I contacted…

The dashboard of my 2010 tahoe cracked around 55k miles in 2015 while driving. It seems like this defect is due to the amount of vibration/usage of vehicle, since most notice damage after 50k miles regardless of how long they've owned it or its exposure to the sun.

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.

Garage kept tahoe has cracked dashboard above instrument panel and passenger side airbag. If car was in an accident, shards of sharp plastic could injure passengers. This is a common issue in gm vehicles. Gm should have a recall to replace the dashboard.

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.

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…

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…

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…
