I bought a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe in December 2012 less than 2 years after I bought this vehicle the dashboard started cracking in two place-driver side and passenger side. This is a safety issue due to the location of the air bags. There are a lot of complaints about this issue from Tahoe owners. This is a safety issue for everyone riding in the vehicle. This needs to be a recall.
The dashboard has cracked in two places. Next to the airbag and above the steering wheel. I am concerned that this creates a safety hazard in the event of a collision where the dashboard will separate and create flying projectiles. I am also concerned that if the airbag deploys, the dashboard will break apart and create flying projectiles. I noticed the cracks on 4/16/2017.
I have two cracks on the dash of my 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe 4D 4X4 ltz one is half way up my instrument panel side the other goes to the corner of my airbag opening.
The dash board in the vehicle has 2 cracks in it. Could be a safety hazard involving the airbags. One crack is located at the curve of the instrument panel on the gear selector side and the other is located on the passenger side. I recently purchased the vehicle and the cracks were already there. I know that this is a popular problem and I believe that GM has profited greatly from the sales of these vehicles and should take responsibility for the integrity of their product.
The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the passenger side dashboard by the air bag was fractured. The contact also noticed a fracture on the driver's side dashboard of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be inspected, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
Dashboard has major cracks and it feels like one day, some piece will break off and hurt someone while driving and it cause major crash. It started with a small crack and it is though end to end now.
The dashboard is cracked and looks very unappealing. There is also a safety concern, if the air bags were ever to deploy I fear that the cracked plastic would disintegrate and cause serious injury.
Dash cracking above gauge cluster and around passenger side airbag. Concerned that if pieces would come loose in an accident it could impede on the protection from the airbag.
The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked above the air bag area. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V381000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
The dashboard cracked starting with the left corner of the passenger side airbag and continues across the dash all the way to the drivers side steering column. A small piece near the passenger side airbag fell into the dash and we are concerned that it could become a projectile if the airbag were to deploy. The crack appeared suddenly and has worsened over time. Parking/storing conditions of the vehicle have varied over time and no specific incident that we are aware of caused the crack.
Garage kept Tahoe has cracked dashboard above instrument panel and passenger side airbag. If car was in an accident, shards of sharp plastic could injure passengers. This is a common issue in GM vehicles. GM should have a recall to replace the dashboard.
The dashboard of my 2010 Tahoe cracked around 55K miles in 2015 while driving. It seems like this defect is due to the amount of vibration/usage of vehicle, since most notice damage after 50K miles regardless of how long they've owned it or its exposure to the sun.
Dashboard around airbag cracking into pieces exposing internal components. No accidents, well maintained vehicle. On line search shows " common problem". left and right dash cracks thru and thru plastic.
Takata recall I just notice a crack on the left top side of my dashboard a day after I brought my vehicle to get service at bical Chevrolet dealer. I return to get answers and the dealer told me it's a known issue for these type of vehicle and they will not pay for the repair. I call Chevrolet GM (case # 8-2129107909) and they told me this was the first time hearing about this issue and will no pay for the repair. Personally I think this is wrong and there should be a recall or some type of repair for vehicles that are currently crack in the same places on the dashboard especially long side passenger airbag. I would like something be done about my dashboard where I don't have to pay for it.
