    The dash has cracked by the passenger airbag, and on the left side of the instrument cluster. This all began at 46k miles. I have never used any chemicals on the dash, and keep a sunshade in the windshield

    My dashboard has cracked over the instrument panel. I have had it replaced, but i'm worried it will happen again. I have spoke to people that have had theirs replaced, but had the new one crack too. I feel if i were to ever get into an accident shards of flimsy plastic will be blown on me.

    My dash has cracked and i'm worried that if i'm ever in an accident that i may be injured if the air bags deploy and send pieces of the dash at me. Seems to be a big problem with gm suv's and trucks. There is even a facebook page with a couple thousand members: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gmdashcrack/

    My 2011 chevy tahoe ltz dashboard fractured completely through the plastic adjacent to the passenger airbag and progressively rattled until it separated. It then cracked in the area in front of the steering wheel and continues to rattle and the crack is getting longer. The area of the dash between these 2 cracks rattles violently when driving on the highway and i am severely concerned about shards of the dash…

    I was wiping dust off the dashboard and saw a small crack on the corner of the dash that meets the airbag compartment as well as a crack on the same dash panel on the driver's side. At the time my vehicle was only three years old but a few hundred miles past warranty. I immediately reported it to the dealership. I was told they had received numerous complaints, but i would have to pay for a replacement. I was also…

    My dash is cracking and breaking around my airbag. This seems like it could be very dangerous in a crash. I'm worried that either the airbag won't deploy as it should or if it does, there will be shards of plastic dash flying around in the cab. Nothing happened to the dash, it just started cracking.

    There are multiple cracks in the dashboard making it a safety hazard in the event of an airbag deployment there could be hazardous debris. When the vehicle is in motion the dash rattles and can be very loud. Secondarily there is also an issue with the fuel tank. The pump constantly stops itself not allowing you to put gas in the vehicle. We have tried different gas stations to see if the issue is isolated and this…

    Dashboard has cracked in multiple places (joint near passenger airbag & several places above instrument panel on driver side). We're concerned that a front end impact accident could cause a piece to shear off and cause damage to either the airbags or the passangers that they are supposed to protect. Dashboard has already been replaced once at our expense. Vehicle has mostly been garage kept.
