    The top dashboard piece has multiple cracks in it similar to other reports made by consumers. One crack is next to the passenger airbag compartment, and another is at the base of the dashboard behind the steering wheel. No impact or accident cause these cracks; they simply appeared on the car and have continued to grow in size.

    Dash cracking near electrical system on driver's side and near air bag on passenger side. I've called gm and dealerships. They said there's no recall. This is a very dangerous situation and i don't want the airbag exploding while my 1 year old grandbaby is in the vehicle with me. There's several people that have complained of the same issues online. Please do something about this!

    Dash has cracked within last month into the passenger airbag door. Concerned that deployment of passenger airbag would result in defective deployment or further breakage of dash causing danger to automobile passengers due to shards being broken during deployment.

    The dashboard on my 2012 tahoe started cracking on the passenger side near the airbag. As a few weeks have gone by, the driver's side has started cracking too. The dash looks horrible and i have only had the car 1 month. I am worried that if i were in a wreck, the broken dash will fly off when the air bag deploys.

    My dash is cracked in two places on my 2012 tahoe with a manufacture date of 9/2011. The dash cracks are located on the passenger side at the location of the airbag and on the dash above the instrument panel. This is the largest crack at 6 inches in the shape of a "v". This crack has grown over time. The dealer has indicated there is no fix other than replacing the dash. Due to proximity to the airbag i am concerned…

    We own two chevy tahoe's, one is a 2008 and the other is a 2012. Both of them have cracking dashboards. I am highly concerned as the effect this could have on the airbags. Both vehicles are in very good condition except for the cracking dashboards.

    Two cracks in the dash, 1 on top in the middle of the instrument panel & the other along side the passenger air bag; which i assume is not very safe in case of a situation where the air bag may be deployed.
