The dash board has cracked at several places, including where the passenger side air bags it happened sometime in sept'2015, even though the tahoe always is parked in shade (under the porte cochere) or in the garage. I have called gmac and the dealer several times i have been asked to pay out of pocket $800 for a manufacturing defect as this is a common complaint, on chevy dashboards.

The car was parked in the garage not running. I opened the lift gate. It opened fine then when i went to put something into the cargo area the lift gate started slowly closing. I backed out from under it and it suddenly crashed closed nearly hitting me. The struts have not worked since. We have to manually open the lift gate and prop it open with a broomstick handle.

The dash is cracked in multiple places from one side to the other. The major concern is the cracked area around the passenger airbag. There's no doubt pieces of the dash will become flying debris if the airbag is deployed. I currently have an aftermarket cover on the dash to hopefully keep that from happening. Also, the rattling of the dash will absolutely drive you crazy on any length of drive time. After doing a…

I got into my vehicle and noticed a crack on the dashboard above the instrument panel. That crack became two cracks and now there is one forming by the passenger airbag. This vehicle has never been in an accident. It has just under 18,000 miles and is in immaculate condition. After investigating this online it seems to be a common issue with multiple people reporting the same cracks. I am working with the dealer to…

While driving on city streets several days ago i heard a loud popping sound as if an object has hit the windshield. After stopping to inspect for damage and not finding any glass cracks or chips i drove on. Shortly thereafter i noticed a noise coming from the dash area and found that the center portion of the dashboard at the radio speaker was loose due to fact that the tab which is designed to hold the center…

Dashboard is cracked. Concerned about safety in the event the airbag deploys. The vehicle has not been in any accidents. No chemical or cleaner has ever been applied to the dash. It looks like a stress crack or manufacturer defect.

Hi i currently own a 2011 chevy tahoe lt model with 78,547 mile on it and the dash is crarcked around the passenger airbag and over the instrument cluster and which i think might comprimise the airbag on deployment which would put my children and passengers at risk of a fatality in the event that an accident occurs and gm should recall this problem its not just mine but most all gm models 07-13 are affected by this…

Vehicle was stationary. Dashboard cracked in two spots over time. Vehicle has not been in an accident. First crack was noted over the instrument panel of the vehicle's gauges that are used to determine speed, rpms, etc. Second was noted adjacent to the front passenger airbag. If the vehicle were in an accident, the cracked dashboard could puncture the airbag rendering the airbag unusable and allowing for more bodily…

I noticed several tahoe owners are also complaining about cracked dashboard for their vehicle. My is above the steering wheel and have spread down about 12 inches. I also agree that it could be dangerous if the airbag is deployed with cracked dash that can cause plastic fragments. In addition, i am very disappointed with the quality of 2011 chevy tahoe when it is was priced in upper $50'sk when new. I have owned 2…

There are two cracks in the dashboard: one is on the driver's side from front to back starts under the windshield and extends to the top of the instrument panel behind the steering wheel; the other on the passenger side starts under the windshield and extends to the air bag cover. I'm concerned that these cracks may compromise either or both air bags should they be deployed in the event of an accident.

I purchased the above used vehicle last summer and the dash at that time had two cracks one on each side of the dash. The cracks are located close to the front airbags one crack has now ran more than half way up over the instrument panel. I had filed a complaint with the bbb and then had spoke with an individual from gm they paid to have the vehicle inspected. Well i just feel like the cracks pose a safety hazard if…
