2008 Chevy Suburban 1500 LT - the dashboard has cracked for no reason. This vehiclas has NOT been in any accident that could have caused this to happen. The cracks have speard now throughout the top of dashboard.
I was driving on the road when I had heard a creaking noise coming from my dash area of my 2008 Chevrolet Suburban. When I came to a stop, I looked at the dash and did not notice anything loose or that what cause this noise. As I continued to drive, I noticed the noise again and noticed my dash was cracking in two different places. One crack by the passenger airbag and the other on the left side of the gauge hump on the dash.the crack by the airbag is about an inch and a half. And the one on the drivers side is about 3 inches long and still growing. I tried to seal the cracks with silicone, and that did not work.
I'm a owner of a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban and I have been the original owner of this vehicle. My dashboard has two large cracks and the one I'm most concerned about is the one there the front passenger side airbag. I very concerned that this could to lead to a catastrophic injury if the airbag deploys.
The dash on my 2008 Suburban cracked at around 70,000 miles, in 2012. I reported it then to both my dealer and GM. They called this a cosmetic issue and that they were clearly not responsible, however, many many other Suburban, Tahoe, sliverados, and trucks have the very same issue and at exactly the same spots around the airbag. The cracks are around the passenger side airbag, such that, if the airbag were to deploy, sharp plastic shrapnel would fly into the passenger's face. This is a deadly safety concern that I take extremely serious, such that the situation becomes GM is literally and directly threatening the safety of my family. Pictures are attached which show the safety defect adjacent to the airbag. Please help push GM with addressing this serious deficiency.
The dash cracked at the corner of the passenger airbag and at the instrument cluster. The air bag crack just appeared one day and then a few months later the other crack appeared. With talking to another 2008 Suburban owner, he informed me that his also did the same thing in the same spots.
I noticed the damage on yesterday. The dash on the passenger side has a crack from the top to the bottom near the airbag. My concern is that it has already caused damage or will eventually cause damage to the airbag and/or cause harm to a passenger riding on that side. I am somewhat concerned about driving it. I noticed it on yesterday, September 4, 2017. I have read quite a few complaints by others involving damage with the dash area on this type of vehicle.
Cracked dashboard. The dashboard is cracked in 5 places, which is quite a safety concern. If airbags were to go off, sharp chards of plastic would come flying. Vehicle was stationary when I noticed first crack 5 years ago, all the others have come yearly after that.
Dashboard is cracked in multiple places. Rattles, makes a lot of cabin noise and is distracting. Not a safety issue per SE. But dash was cracked now for many years. What is GM's position on replacing dashboard?
The dash panel is cracking very badly on the vehicle. Especially around where the airbag is supposed to deploy. Concerned that sharp edges on the cracked plastic will impair the function of the airbag
