Tahoe LT 5.6L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 161,000 miles

I bought this Tahoe in a hurry and didn't even notice the small crack right at the corner of the airbag cover. Well, a few days later, the entire dashboard cracked and pieces fell into the engine. Can't get a damn person to fix under $1000!! GM needs to step up and do the right thing by recalling these vehicles and fixing them. BS = GM

Tahoe LT 5.5L

  • Manual transmission
  • 187,000 miles

This is really horrible my dashboard is cracking from one end to the other. This is day to day transportation for my family and kids. I love my Tahoe but this is outrageous for you to spend this amount of money for a vehicle and when ask for help about a quick easy fix like Chevrolet said it is and you get the feedback that nothing could be done is insane. If something can be done PLEASE help this LONGGGG CRACK is a very sad looking for a Tahoe. Thank you.

I know this is a common problem, but GM refuses to do anything. We the people believe there should be a class action lawsuit brought against GM. As an owner of more than a dozen GM products in my life, you would think they would do better, or maybe I should learn to buy different.There I didn't know I could say this much without cussing, weak moment on my part I guess.

Tahoe LS 5.2L

  • Automatic transmission

The dash was replaced in 2009 and it is now cracked again. I took it back to a dealer and was told it was not covered under any warrranty even though it had been replaced earlier. Also the airbags have been recalled but no plans to replace them by GM.

There is two cracks on my dashboard. one is over the steering wheel and the other one is on the passengers airbag. this is a safety concern that needs to be repair as soon as possible since it is the family car that we travel in. my kids safety is very important to me.

Tahoe LT 5.7L

Small crack started just in front of passenger airbag. Now large crack starts at very front of dash and continues to top of instrument cluster rise on dash. It looks like crap and is getting worse. It's also very sharp if you try to clean dash with rag. Chevy should recall and repair.

Tahoe Z71 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 58,900 miles

Can't believe GM worn't own up to this just like the ignition switch problem they should recall all the years that have this Dashboard Cracking problem if you see photos of almost all the Tahoe's with this problem the cracks are all in the same spots it is clearly a materials design flaw. Don't get me wrong I like the truck but I don't think I will ever own another GM product again.

This car is not really used for anything other then long trips. I brought this up to the attention at the dealer. They said it was not covered. My warranty had ended - 2-3 months after I noticed. I spoke to GM and they said they would split the cost. Total repair cost 1k. I was very upset. I went back an fourth regarding it's repair and they refuse to repair it. The thing that is disturbing, the cracks are right were the airbags are both on cracks on driver and passenger side. I know one thing, I will never buy another car from GM. I'm the only owner of this car.

Not only is the dashboard cracked but the color is coming off. So there are black spots showing in the middle of a grey dashboard.

Tahoe LT 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles

Irritating that the dashboard cracked, not because of anything I did and they dealership won't replace. They know it's their issue as I have friends with the same crack in the dash and they changed the material for later body styles because of that. Annoying. I've driven my Tahoe since they day I drove it off the showroom floor. Seems like there are just endless problems with it now. Dashboard, peeling handles, power mirror doesn't go down on passenger side...not to mention the high oil consumption!! Ugh Chevy!!!

Tahoe LT V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 67,000 miles

About 3 months ago we found cracks in the dashboard of our 2007 Tahoe LT. The major crack (about 6 inch long) is in the dome part of the dash just left of the steering wheel. A smaller crack is just above the passenger airbag. Checking the GM/Chevrolet forums and car complaints websites---found that this is a common problem with 2007-2008 GM trucks and suburbans. These vehicles have cracks all in the same location (which rules out sun damage).

Cracked dashboards mean poor quality. Cracks at the airbag are a safety issue. GM is aware of the problem, but so far there is no uniform corporate response ( check the on-line forums).

We will contact the Chevrolet Corporate Customer Advocate. Hoping for the best. but in any event, the dash needs to be replaced.

I hate the fact that you buy a nice car and all of a sudden the long cracks pop up and you feel like the whole dash is going to explode. I hate for someone to sit in the passenger seat, thinking the air bag is going to explode.

Pieces fall into the dash and I am so afraid that it will short out a wire or something. I do not know what to do!

THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY CHEVROLET BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. I WONDER WHY IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. WHAT HAPPENED TO QUALITY AND STANDING BY YOUR PRODUCT.

Tahoe LTZ 5.3L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 105,000 miles

On June 2014 I bought this truck which its gonna coast me $26000 after the all payment

On November 5 I saw a crack on the passenger side above the airbag, two days ago I saw another one on the the driver side above the steering wheel I almost having a heart attack because of it. After that I looked on line and I saw the reviews. I said am gonna lose my time if I go to the dealer, so I bought the cover to hide in it, its manufacturing defect. It's shame on them if they didn't fix our problem.

Tahoe LTZ 5.3L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 125,000 miles

the dash has cracked in 3 spots, it is obvious this is a manufacturer defect. My biggest concern is that the two cracks that lead to the air bag opening would cause the dash to splinter if the air bags were to ever be deployed.
