Dashboard is cracking near the passenger side airbags. Is this safe and will not cause any malfunction to the correct operation of the airbags? kindly do the needful to check on this issue. Thanks.
Dashboard cracked above instrument panel. Vehicle was in motion on a neighborhood street. Heard popping noise that startled me while driving. Upon inspection discovered new crack in dash which was not cracked prior. We do not use cleaning solutions in our Tahoe due to our daughter having respiratory issues. We only wipe with cloths. This could not have been caused by cleaning solutions due to that.
I noticed that on my Tahoe my dashboard started cracking on both sides. So I did a little research and it was happening with many other Tahoe Silverado and GM cars where the dash started cracking. I don't find it fair that we all have the same problem and that GM doesn't pay for it because it clearly shows that it's the product they put in our cars were cheap quality to where all of us buyers have the same problem and have to pay for it. Therefore I feel that they should have a recall and take care of what they messed up with also it is a hazard because anything on your car that isn't met to the basic standards may be entitled to a law suit so I think we need a recall and thats all I have to say becuase I don't feel safe driving my car with cracked parts that can fly into anyones eye with the window open. That is all I have to say S just please give us the recall and make us consumers happy it would be much appreciated.

My 2008 Chevy Tahoe developed 2 cracks in the dashboard and will interfere with the airbag deployment. Creating a safety hazard and possibly endangering my passengers.
Driver side dashboard cracked above steering column by front windshield. Vehicle was stationary overnight. Came out in morning to find huge crack in dash.
Cracking dashboard. This has happened over time and cannot be attributed to the speed, direction, or orientation of the vehicle. I feel this can be a safety issue inhibiting the safe deployment of the airbags.
I have the same problem with the cracked dashboard as hundreds of other people and the more serious concern is that my brakes go out when I am stopping sometimes causing my car to jolt forward and it sometimes does the same with the gas when I am starting to drive, where it will stall and jolt forward. The dealership has "fixed" the problem two or three times replacing first the hybrid battery and then the regular battery. Neither truly fix it. A couple of days ago, I came within inches of hitting another car because my brakes went out again. I know it has something to do with being a hybrid because there are hundreds of others with the same vehicle who have had the same problem.
The front dash board is cracked, it happened in 2014, there was a crack across from top to bottom on the driver side, I did not contacted the company because it was out of warranty already but just a few months ago another crack appeared in the passenger side across from where the air bags deploy, this got me concerned for safety reasons, I started reading more and found out that this is a common issue with most Chevrolet trucks/SUV's. action needs to be taken from GMC to correct this issue and replace cracked dashboards.
