When we purchased our vehicle the cracks in the dash board I thought was from something else until we received a recall about the airbags and I read an article about the cracked dash problem. Please contact me about replacement of this dash. Why is there a problem with 2008 Tahoe dash board" We have a 2002 chev tahoe and the dash is in good condition. So what is the difference? And the cracked dash board is a safety issue in many ways. So again contact gm then me and have gm authorize a local dealership in the area to fix the dash board problem. Once again we have a 2002 chev Tahoe and the dash is in perfect condition, what is the difference?, defective material used" Thank you for your time, Perry Morris

Front passenger seatbelt is stuck won-??t expand to buckle up, when turning on right blinker the high beam lights turn on. Which is unsafe for other drivers being blinded by the bright lights. Back hatch does not operate at all, could potentially be life threatening if that was an only exit due to unexpected Circumstances

My dash panel has cracked over the drivers side instrument panel and above the passenger airbag area. This can cause potential safety issues if the airbags were to deploy or possibility of things getting in through the crack to damage the electronics underneath.

Takata recall - I have been checking on this for a year and a remedy is still not available. I was involved in an accident April 10 2017 and the Tahoe sustained significant front and rear damage while stationary. I was hit from behind by a large truck and was then pushed into the car in front of me. No airbags deployed.

The dash board O the vehicle is cracking all around the takata recall airbags. The cracks are spidering across the dash, there are so may complaints with this dash board cracking and it is a safety issue if the airbags go off the dash board is likely to shatter and potentially be a projectile causing injury or death. This should be invesitigated and be a recall. You will find thousands of vehicle have this problem, GM is aware and its all over facebook and online. Just google Tahoe cracked dashboard and look for yourself. Thank you for investigating this matter

Dashboard has cracked adjacent to corner of passenger side airbag panel and along top of driver side instrument cluster panel. Cracked dash continues to expand. The cracked dashboard is a safety concern in that shards of the plastic may break off during an accident and/or during deployment of the airbags, impaling the passengers. The sad part of this is that I had to replace all the exterior door handles also because they all broke off from the cheap plastic clip that holds the handle in place - no recall on that either. This is inexcusable when you look at the cost of the ltz vehicles. Both of these defects are safety issues - mishandling of aibags when deployed and someone able to enter your vehicle through a broken handle!!!!!!!

Two dashboard cracks on 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1 of which is directly going to passenger side airbag compartment. If this airbag is to be deployed, it will send the pieces of this dash flying throughout the vehicle. This is a well known issue and there are thousands of these identical cracks on these generation vehicles with no support from GM. This is a safety issue and needs to be recalled.

The dashboard is cracking all over, and there is even a hole where it cracked so bad that a piece fell off. I believe this is a common defect and that the manufacturer should be responsible for this.
