    The dash on my garage kept tahoe is cracking and falling apart. I can only imagine what damage could be done if in a wreck and the sharp pieces are flying in our faces. The first crack by the airbag happened while i was driving on the highway..i heard a loud pop and it scared me to death. The second crack above the instrument panel also happened while driving but not as loud.

    Dash is cracking around passenger side airbag and the instrument cluster. This is unsafe because in the event of passenger airbag deploying, shards of cracked dash can become projectiles. Many complaints on internet about same issue, no resolution from gm.

    There are several hairline cracks in the dash behind the steering column and around the passenger air bag. This vehicle has 48,000 miles and has been well maintained. I am concerned about passenger injuries not to forget that this vehicle was purchased for $53,000 and evidently has cheap and poor quality materials . I have replaced 2 door handles that became so loose. The dealership said there were bolts missing. A…

    My 2011 tahoe has yet another crack in the dash. The first time it was changed because i have less than 30000 miles on the truck. Now i have 60000 and it has cracked again. This time they are telling me i need to pay at 250 of the cost of repair! No sir! I'm doing nothing to my vehicle to make this happen and i don't feel i should be responsible for having to change it yet again. This is not far! I used to love…

    We had the oil changed at a lube shop in marble falls texas and the person that changed the oil told us the transmission dip stick tube was loose so he couldn't check the transmission fluid. We left the lube shop and was driving down 1431 in marble falls when a gentleman stopped us and told us the tahoe was on fire. We popped the hood and indeed there were flames in the lower part of the engine compartment. We…

    I have two cracks in the dashboard that makes the dashboard flop, and i'm worried it may affect the airbags. I am the original owner, the truck has never been in a wreck, never place any items on the dash, and i use a visor to protect the dash during work, and the truck is garaged when i'm at home. The dealer said it will cost approx. $1,000 to replace! Why would i replace a defective dash? This should be a recall!
