I BOUGHT A 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE IN DECEMBER 2012 LESS THAN 2 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING IN TWO PLACE-DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE AIR BAGS. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM TAHOE OWNERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR EVERYONE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.
THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. NEXT TO THE AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION WHERE THE DASHBOARD WILL SEPARATE AND CREATE FLYING PROJECTILES. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THE DASHBOARD WILL BREAK APART AND CREATE FLYING PROJECTILES. I NOTICED THE CRACKS ON 4/16/2017.
DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BIG TIME.
CRACKED DASHBOARD
DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA, CONCERNING ME THAT IF GOD FORBID AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED AND THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED ON PASSENGER SIDE, SHARDS OF THIS CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD BE DISPERSED INTO THE AREA, CAUSING POSSIBLE LACERATION OR FATAL HARM TO PASSENGER AND DRIVER. WHEN INVESTIGATING, I FOUND THIS TO BE VERY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL, WITH MANY MANY PEOPLE( THOUSANDS OF THEM) POSTING PICTURES AND DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE IN "THE EXACT SAME SPOTS"!!!!. ALSO, THE CRACKS SEEM TO HAPPEN OVER THE STEERING COLUMN IN ADDITION TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, CAUSING MORE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT DRIVING COMPONENTS COULD NOW BE EXPOSED TO DAMAGING HEAT AND ICE RAYS AFFECTING DRIVING SAFETY. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO GM DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED CAR, AND THEY HAVE IGNORED ME. I HAVE ALSO CALLED CORPORATE, AND THEY HAVE ALSO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 20,000 PEOPLE ON A WEB FORUM CALLED "CHANGE.ORG.", THAT HAVE EXPLAINED IDENTICAL CONCERNS FOR AIRBAG SAFETY WITH THESE CRACKING DASHBOARDS, AND THE PETITION HAS EVEN BEEN BROUGHT TO GM CEO ATTENTION. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILIES WELL-BEING AND LIVES, IF EVER I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THESE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. THE CRACKED DASHBOARD IN THAT AREA COULD BE A POTENTIAL LETHAL WEAPON CAUSING HARM. THANK YOU

I HAVE TWO CRACKS ON THE DASH OF MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE 4D 4X4 LTZ ONE IS HALF WAY UP MY INSTRUMENT PANEL SIDE THE OTHER GOES TO THE CORNER OF MY AIRBAG OPENING.
IN DECEMBER OF 2013 I DISCOVERED TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY VEHICLE. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION WITH THE DEALER, THE DASH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND I PAID $100 PLUS $9.25 IN TAX FOR THE REPLACEMENT. IN JANUARY 2017, THE REPLACEMENT DASH HAS CRACKED AS WELL. THE CRACK IS ALLOWING THE DASH TO BOW AND YOU CAN SEE THE MECHANICS UNDER THE DASH.
DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS ONE LOCATED ABOVE STEERING AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG.
I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF MY 2010 CHEVY TAHOE Z71. I LOVE THE VEHICLE BUT RECENTLY, THE CRACK THAT WAS ONCE A SMALL MINUTE CRACK ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD HAS DRAMATICALLY BECOME LARGER. WHEN I START MY CAR, THERE IS ALWAYS A POPPING SOUND OF THE PLASTIC AS THE DASHBOARD CRACKS. THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH CONCERNS ME. I RECENTLY WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY TOLD ME TO "CONTACT GM AND EXPRESS YOUR CONCERN". THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO SOLVE A PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF INTERNET SEARCH HAS SHOWN AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY A RECALL BY GM.
THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE IS CRACKED FROM ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL IN 3 AREAS TH THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED OVER THE AIRBAG AND IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THERE WILL BE SHARDS OF PLASTIC PROPELLED AS SHRAPNEL THROUGHOUT THE CAR. THE CRACK APPEARED AFTER USING THE DEFROSTERS ON A COLD DAY. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE DASHBOARD NOR ANY WEIGHT PLACED ON IT. IT WAS JUST A "CRACK" SOUND AND IT APPEARED.
CRACKED DASHBOARD ACROSS MULTIPLE AREAS CAUSING CONCERN IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS.
THE DASH IN MY TAHOE RECENTLY CRACKED, & UPON LOOKING ON THE WEB, APPEARS TO BE IN THE SAME PLACE AS MANY OTHERS' ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE WHEN THE CRACK HAPPENED (DRIVING, PARKED, ETC.), BUT IT BECAME VISIBLE TO MY ATTENTION THE OTHER DAY AFTER SOME COLD EVENINGS (COLD FOR SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA). I USE A SUNSHADE WHEN POSSIBLE. IT IS A REGULAR DRIVER. IMAGE BELOW IS NOT MY VEHICLE BUT ALMOST AN EXACT PLACEMENT VERSION FOR REFERENCE. *TR
DASHBOARD CRACKING.
THE DASH BOARD IN THE VEHICLE HAS 2 CRACKS IN IT. COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD INVOLVING THE AIRBAGS. ONE CRACK IS LOCATED AT THE CURVE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE GEAR SELECTOR SIDE AND THE OTHER IS LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE CRACKS WERE ALREADY THERE. I KNOW THAT THIS IS A POPULAR PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THAT GM HAS PROFITED GREATLY FROM THE SALES OF THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY CHEVY TAHOE HAS BECOME CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. ONE OF THE CRACKS GOES FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO THE FRONT OF THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACKS SEEM LIKE A SAFETY HAZARD SPECIFICALLY IN THE EVENT OF A CAR ACCIDENT. IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE CRACKS MAY IMPEDE THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAGS OR ALLOW PORTIONS OF THE DASHBOARD TO MORE EASILY BECOME PROJECTILES WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY TO MYSELF OR PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD BY THE AIR BAG WAS FRACTURED.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND LOOKS VERY UNAPPEALING. THERE IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN, IF THE AIR BAGS WERE EVER TO DEPLOY I FEAR THAT THE CRACKED PLASTIC WOULD DISINTEGRATE AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. STARTED OUT SMALL, NOW THEY ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL.
I NOTICED THAT THE DASH IN MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ IS CRACKED ABOVE THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I ALSO HAVE READ WHERE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO LOT OF TAHOES , SUBURBANS AND YUKONS ETC. THIS SHOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE SPEND ON THESE VEHICLES . SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MY TAHOE STAYS GARAGE KEPT OUT OF THE SUN AND THIS STILL HAPPENED.
DASH IS CRACKED WITH SHARP PLASTIC SHARDS PROTRUDING AROUND AIR BAGS AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DASH CRACKING ALL ALONG AIR BAG. AND ALL OVER DASH. WHICH CAN LEAD TO AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUES WHILE IN A WRECK.
SAME CRACK IN DASH AS 1000'S OF OTHER OWNERS OF TAHOES. GM REFUSES TO CLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND IS ASKING $1200 FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT IS CRACKED AT THE AIR BAG.
DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ON BOTH SIDES WHERE TOP VENT MEETS CORNERS. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT TO CAUSE THIS, AND THE CRACKS HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. MAKES HORRIFIC SCREECHING NOISE WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. MAKES ME WONDER IF AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY CORRECTLY ON PASSENGER SIDE.
MY DASH BOARD SURROUNDING THE AIR BAG HAS CRACKED.
THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS TWO SEVERE CRACKS...ONE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE OTHER BESIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS CRACK COULD INTERFERE WITH THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO (2) PLACES- AM WORRIED IF AIR BACK GOES OFF, SHRAPNEL WILL FLY THROUGH INSIDE AND INJURE OR KILL THE PASSENGERS.
DASH CRACKING ABOVE GAUGE CLUSTER AND AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. CONCERNED THAT IF PIECES WOULD COME LOOSE IN AN ACCIDENT IT COULD IMPEDE ON THE PROTECTION FROM THE AIRBAG.
DASHBOARD CRACKED, BROKEN PIECES FELL INSIDE, DASHBOARD HAS A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE. CRACK IN DASHBOARD IS EXPANDING.
DASH HAS CRACKS ON IT. IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY IT COULD SEND SHARDS FLYING. COMPROMISE THE AIR BAG INTEGRITY.
DRIVERS SIDE DASH IS CRACKING TWO PLACES AND SPREADING HIGHER TOWARDS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. HAPPENED BETWEEN 8/26/16 8/28/16. HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. ABOVE THE CENTER SPEAKER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD THE TWO PIECE DASH TOGETHER ALSO BROKE TO. I'M WORRIED THAT IT'LL GET WORSE AND POSSIBLY COME LOOSE. BETWEEN THE TWO CRACKS THE PLASTIC IS FAIRLY LOOSE. I'VE READ A LOT OF REVIEWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. FROM 2007 TO 2010 TAHOE'S ARE THE WORST.
PURCHASED VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2015. DID NOT SEE A CRACK AT TIME OF PURCHASE. WAS WIPING DOWN THE DASH ONE DAY AND NOTICED A SMALL CRACK UP THE CENTER OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THAT WAS MID JANUARY. HAS NOW CRACKED FROM THE MIDDLE ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN ACROSS THE DASH TO THE LEFT SIDE CORNER OF THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. DASH IS UNSTABLE. CONCERNED IT WILL CAUSE AIRBAG TO GO OFF PREMATURELY. IF IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY COULD SEND PIECES INTO PASSENGERS LIKE SHRAPNEL.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
