CarComplaints.com Notes: This might be the Tahoe sweet spot. The 2013 has a great safety rating (as long as you don't roll it over), tons of room and few complaints. What it doesn't have is the interior accessory problems of the older or newer generations.

My dashboard has cracked in two places as shown on the attached photos. One crack is near the housing for the airbag, and the other is forming above the steering wheel. The cracks result in the dashboard shacking on any uneven road surface, so eventually the smaller crack will progress across the entire dashboard. I understand there is a class action lawsuit against Chevy due to a safety hazard from this defective part. Replacement or repairs are estimated to be $1200-$2000. This has happened over the course of normal driving.

Dashboard has become cracked around the passenger side airbag and the dashboard also has numerous other cracks. The cracks have developed over the time since I purchased the vehicle in September 2015. There are thousands of pictures relating to this issue circulating online. I also purchased the best warranty GM offers, including the bumper to bumper warranty, but that didn't include the dashboard as I was told.

My dash is cracked in 3 places as of the last 2 weeks. In googling the issue, it appears there was a law suit against GM about this defective part in the vehicle. Https://www.carparts.com/blog/the-latest-on-the-GM-cracked-dash-issue/ I would like help with rectifying the replacement or repair of the defective part.

Tahoe

The dashboard of the vehicle has severe cracks around the passenger side airbag as well as the driver side steering wheel. The vehicle has been well maintained and never been in a wreck. I am very concerned that the plastic may become projectiles in the event of an accident. The dealership refuses to acknowledge fault or cover repairs.

Low mileage vehicle, stored in a garage at work and at home. Dashboard cracked at passenger side airbag. Serious safety issue as plastic parts from broken dashboard can become deadly missiles during airbag deployment and potentially harm or cause death to passenger (my child). Spent nearly $600 for a dashboard assembly that should have never required replacing.

Tahoe

I was driving home on the highway when I heard a loud pop. I thought a rock had hit my windshield. When I arrived home I saw some white material which looked like cotton on the dash. After further inspection I realized that the "pop"was my dashboard cracking. My car is garaged accept when I am at work, which when there are sun protectors on my dashboard during the warm months. My Tahoe only has 76,000 miles on it.
