The dash of my Tahoe has numerous cracks around the airbag, vents, and the instrument panel. Also the tire pressure sensor has been replaced numerous times and still causes the indicator to light up becuase the sensor failed.
A crack started to form on the dashboard above the upper left corner of the passenger airbag. The crack has spread and has caused pressure and strain on other parts of the dashboard leading to major cracks in the plastic all the way from the passenger airbag to the drivers side dash 'hump' above the steering wheel. This has been identified as a very common problem/defect with the Chevy Tahoe model from 2007-2011. The cracks are a safety concern since they are starting from and are surrounding the airbags. Any deployment of the airbags are at risk of malfunction as well as possibly causing damage to passengers due to the cracked pieces potential of breaking off and being hurled at passengers upon impact/deployment. GM should recall these models and fix the safety issue.
Dashboard is severely cracking above and around airbags putting passengers in harms way. This is a manufacturer defect as tens of thousands of owners have reported but GM has failed to recognize as of yet. Please please get someone to look into this as it is a major concern. I'd love to continue to buy american products but my faith in their quality is waning!

All six side airbags on our 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe deployed while my wife was driving the vehicle with our two children in their rear car seats. There was no impact, bump, pot-hole or any other reason apparent to us why the airbags deployed. It was completely random. No one was injured and my wife maintained control of the vehicle to a safe stop, but she was stunned and disoriented. The damage to our vehicle is extensive. In addition to replacing six airbags, light fixtures, plastic molding, the roof panel and fabric/liner are all damaged. At this point, the dealer is not helping at all. We have contacted GM but they have not responded after 2 days. We believe this is not only a product liability issue that GM should repair, but also a major safety issue. We are all very fortunate that this did not result in a single or multi-vehicle accident, injuries related to the accident, or injuries related to the airbag deployment. We need help to ensure GM addresses this issue proactively, before someone is seriously injured or killed.
I purchased vehicle in 2009 from ross downing Chevrolet dash board was cracked in three places.was told nothing could be done except to replace it at a cost of about 800 dollars.two of the cracks is around passenger side air bags.
April, 2015 I noticed small crack in right side of dash in front of passenger and larger crack in driver dash. May 2015 the cracks were significantly larger. The vehicle lives in a garage in Florida when not being driven. It is not primary vehicle driven. Dash pad was replaced by palm Chevrolet in ocala, Florida on June 2, 2015. The cost was $721.41..
My dash developed one crack, than two, then three, with no impact or obvious reason. I eventually took it to a dealership. I was told by the advisor that this was not uncommon. They split the repair cost with me, but I have since discovered this was far more wide spread than originally thought. It is obviously a faulty part.
Latches/locks/linkages complaint. Three of the four door locks cannot be automatically opened or closed either from the inside or outside of the SUV. Could pose a safety problem if trapped inside of the car. Estimated cost to repair $180 per door.
