    Dashboard crack near passenger airbag. The crack appeared out of nowhere. There wasn't any force to cause the damage. The crack was noticed while i was parked, i heard crackling sounds and that is when i noticed it. I looked online for a recall and chevrolet hasn't recalled it, although there are many complaints for this problem. I shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for their defect.

Vehicle has not been involved in any accidents and cracks appeared for no known reason. There have been many reports from other owners of gm vehicles and gm has not had a recall. Since the air bags are located in the dash, there could…

    I'm not sure exactly when the first crack in the dashboard appeared but i noticed it about six months ago on the passenger side.

After i pulled out and stopped at the red light i looked and the driver side dash above the…

    Our 2012 ltz tahoe only has 64,768 miles on it and is garage kept. We also keep a sunscreen in the window when it is sitting outside. We have started noticing cracks in the dashboard in 2 different places. We took it to the local chevrolet dealer and they said we would have to pay for replacement. Around $1000.00. I do not think we should have to pay for something that should be recalled seeing as though the…

    Two issues: 1. Dashboard cracked at airbag on passenger side and on drivers side. Airbag deployment appears unsafe due to cracking. 2. In hot and humid weather to, the traction and stability systems become inoperable and the message system requests that maintenance be performed.

    Cracked dash right where the airbag is. I park my car in the garage and use sunshades when not parked inside. My tahoe is not that old. I take excellent care of it, and there should be no reason for the dash to crack. It almost seems like there may be too much pressure from the airbag being inside there causing it to crack. It's definitely a manufacture defect. I'm not sure the airbag will work properly if needed.
