Dash cracking: i own a 2011 chevrolet tahoe ltz. The dash has cracked twice on this vehicle. The 1st time it was under warranty. The 2nd time it occurred the dash cracked in two places. This cost me more than $1000. Once it cracked it started making a rattling noise as i went down the road. After reviewing all the complaints about this same problem, i fail to understand why a recall was not ordered by the government…

Dashboard cracks due to poor quality material and poor design. Once cracked, the dashboard presents a safety hazard. If the airbag were to deploy, the force of the deployment against the already cracked dashboard could send sharp fragments of the dashboard into passengers.

I am very careful and take good care of my vehicles, but this one has a crack in the dash that is getting bigger and bigger. From talking with a few people that own the same model they have had the same issue. It seems to be a defect from gm. I have not hit any major pot holes or applied any pressure what so ever to the dash. Now it's so bad that it rattles when driving down the road. This is unacceptable especially…

Cracked dash - the vehicle was stationary when cracking happened inside on the dash. It has cracked in 4 places: (2) above the steering wheel and (2) at the air bag. When driving, i notice there is no support in the middle of dash, it bounces and makes the cracks worse.

I just bought my used 2011 chevy tahoe. After i drove it home i noticed that the dashboard under the windshield keeps jumping bad due to 2 cracks. My concern is that it may cause the airbag to deploy. The dearship says i bought it as-is and i feel it is a safety issue that should have been repaired before sale.

The dashboard has developed a crack next to the passenger airbag cover. This is a widespread manufacturer's defect for this type of gm vehicle. However, gm refuses to instate a recall to address it's customer's concerns. With the plastic of the dashboard compromised, a deployment of the airbag could send fragments of plastic into the cabin.

It is so badly cracked now it seems to me that the…

My dashboard is cracked in two locations. The speaker in the dashboard has been serviced once by the dealership and is the only time the dashboard has been touched. Nothing has been done on my part to jeopardize the integrity of the dashboard. An internet search shows that this is a common problem in tahoe's. I have received no reasonable explanation for the damage along with no reasonable fix ($1,500!!!!). I have…

The dash board has several cracks in it. When asked a dealer about it they said this was very common for chevys. It's interesting that this information is posted all over the internet, why would chevrolet compromise customer satisfaction. Also the side trim is falling off

We have a crack on the dashboard around the airbag. We have been trying for several months to get gm to fix the crack and the 1st option from a local dealership was to refer us to a man that could fill it in can paint it to match. A 3 year old child using silly puddy could have done a better job and the crack was still there. Our next try was to take it back to the dealership where we purchased it and they said they…
