I have a 2007 Tahoe that has developed several cracks in the dash. One above the steering wheel and another at the passenger side air bag. I am concerned that should the passenger airbag deploy, the dash pieces will become shrapnel, causing avoidable injuries. I have researched this and found it to be disturbingly common for these vehicles. This vehicle is garage kept and meticulously cared for. Will GM be made to stand behind the safety of their vehicles?
Cracked dashboard in multiple places. This is a well known problem that has been documented. I reached out to Chevy and they refused to replace. My biggest concern is an air bag defect because of a big crack near the air bag.
Dash cracked in what appears to be very common spots, just above instrument panel, and in the corner nearest the top left of the passenger airbag cover. This could be very dangerous in an accident, and is a known defect that Chevy is choosing to ignore.
Hi, I own a 2007 Chevrolet ls Tahoe and my concern is that my front dash has developed a crack about 8" on the left side of the instrumentation cluster, the giant crack has started to appear to be gaping open, and it's starting to sag, and has also cracked on the above the top driver side dash air bag, , at the top center dash area just above the passenger right side air bag, but it's 2 individual cracks. I always have parked most of the majority of the time in my garage or I try to find shaded areas to park.
"takata recall" I own a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe the dashboard is severely cracked. I am concern that a piece might break and cause damage to the airbag. I have attempted to get this corrected through GM with no resolve. I have checked and found this is a common occurrence on this year model.
2007 Tahoe with 100K miles. Dashboard has been cracked since before 100K and chrome peeling from door handles causing occasional cuts to hands when opening doors. Dealer has refused to do anything and both are expensive repairs. Don't plan to buy another GM product - they don't stand behind their products.
Dashboard is cracked in three locations. 1st and 2nd: Over passenger side airbag from upper corners of the airbag to the air-vent panel 3rd: Approximately 8 inches along the top of the driver instrument panel to the air-vent panel. Additional separation between panels is created during temperature changes or running the heater in cold weather. Have had two dealerships tell me it is a normal, known, and reoccurring problem with the body-style but offered to replace it for over $1,000.
My dash has cracked over the instrument panel starting at around 65K miles I noticed it and it also has cracked over the passenger side airbag causing the dash to separate from the airbag which would cause part of the dash to potentially shatter upon airbag deployment causing serious or fatal injury.
My dashboard keeps cracking. It has been replaced once already and it is cracking again. I contacted the dealership concerning the problem and was informed that it would cost me $1100 to repair the dashboard. GM should fix this problem with their vehicles concerning this defect.
Takata recall: My truck has a 8" crack on driver's dashboard. Worry that it damage all the electronic inside of it. Moves and cracks as the truck is moving. Another 3" crack located on the airbag opening. Very concern that it can affect the ability of the airbag. 2nd owner of the truck and bought it Jan 2016
