I was washing my car and cleaning the interior, then noticed my dash board had a crack in it. It has grown bigger since initial finding. This is a factory defect.
I purchased my 2010 in 2011 and the dash cracked in 2012. I have taken it to my local Chevy dealer twice and Chevy will still not accept responsibility for its poor quality and manufacturing. A vehicle that is only two years old and had never been involved in an accident should not have cosmetic damage. This is definitely a manufacturers problem and should be replaced by the company. My truck was worth 48,000 at the time and I should not be responsible for a repair caused by poor quality of their materials. Now my vehicle is 9 years old and the air bags deployed out of nowhere when my son was driving.... there was no wreck or impact with anything and they deployed. The quality used by Chevy is terrible and I do not plan on purchasing anything else from a company that sells over priced vehicles with cheap and faulty parts that they don't want to assume responsibility for.
Dash has cracked in three spots, one being where passenger air bags is held in. Local GM refused to correct after warranty expired. This is a known problem on many Tahoe.
My 2010 Tahoe lt has a cracked dashboard in two places. I have concerns that in the event of an accident that the cracked components may break off and cause injury. Apparently this is a common problem.
The cracking dash, in my opinion, on a 2010 Chevy Tahoe has been a long running issue that the manufacturer has not been held accountable for. Aside from the physical appearance and sagging, I feel that in the event of an airbag deployment there would be more chance for improper inflation or fragments from already broken dash becoming projectiles. The blind eye that has been turned to this issue from the powers at be is astonishing. I believe the consumer has been done an unjust service while the manufacturer is getting away with not having to correct a safety fault.
The dashboard of my 2010 Tahoe has multiple cracks and is broken all over from no fault of my own. This has been an issue for many people with GM vehicles of this nature and the company won't help me repair or replace my dash. I'm scared that if I get into an accident that the airbags wont deploy or if they do, it will be with thousands of dangerous broken plastic chards! I am seeking help in this matter so that the company can understand that their product has faults and is putting consumers in risk of serious harm and injury.
Takata recall has been an ongoing, unresolvable issue since it began. The dealer has no insight as to when, if ever, it will be fixed. They say to keep watching the NHTSA/GM boards for updates. Other issue is the dashboard & its cracking. I had filed with the NHTSA in 2017 with the original crack that happened by the passenger airbag (your tracking number assigned by NHTSA for this issue is 10939141), but am adding this site now. Additionally, the dash has cracked behind the driver's "pod", connections have let loose for the middle portion of the dash allowing it to flap over bumps & the latest is the new metallic rattle that has begun somewhere behind the instrument cluster/dash area. I haven't had any cracking off of shards, but as the truck was regularly garaged, parked in a parking garage at work, & now in a carport, it's frustrating to have things occur without the blazing sun to contribute. Unlike others, I haven't had major cuts or flying pieces, just small cuts to fingers when I forgetfully am wiping down the dash. I've spoken with the dealership multiple times as things have progressed on the dash & initially they said it was unfortunate & to watch the original one (passenger airbag area), but as there are now more issues with the dash, they say to take it up with GM directly. I haven't started that process yet, but as the airbags & the dash are a never-ending issue, I will make an attempt to start.
My 2010 Tahoe has the notorious crack in the dash at the pasinger side air bag. This is the second time this has happened on the same vehicle. I payed for it to be replace the first time and now it has happened again. I believe this to be a extreme safety hazard to me and my family. If we where to be involved in a accident I am afraid that pieces of the dash could fly off and become projectiles injuring a member of my family.
I have a 2010 chev Tahoe that is in excellent condition. My dash both front and back has cracks. I take very good care of my Tahoe which you can tell by the condition it is in both outside and inside. In fact, I still have the plastic protector cover over the lens on the radio. General Motors should have a recall on the dashes. Also, my air bag made by takata needs to be replaced!!! I have spoken with dealerships in my area and both of these 2 things have been a big concern with customers. GM needs to step up and take care of their customers!
'takata recall' it's been a consistent down fall of my dash around my air bag. Their is a gaping hole above my airbag now. The service gentleman at autonation stated if the shrapnel from the air bag does not get you, your dash board shrapnel will! last January I simply wiping my dash down sliced open my hand requiring stitches. I made a appointment for my airbag replacement they knew exactly why I was driving there to drop my vehicle off but once I arrived I was told there is still no part available. The technicians are not allowed to disarm the arm bags. In motion the entire dash vibrates, the smallest bump caused pieces to fall off, going over railroad tracks a chunk broke off and hit me in my right eye. I fear for the safety of my children which my 4 year old also cut the side of her arm on my dash. The date below if around when I recieved the airbag recall.
My dash started cracking small at first, bumps and vibrations would increase the length and severity of the cracks, all the clips broke off, simply wiping the dash off would break chunks off. In 2017 while cleaning my Tahoe I was wiping the dash and a shard caught the side of my hand requiring stitches. While driving the dash has no support and vibrates. Depending on the type of road the vibrations are strong enough to break chunks off the dash off that fall down into the console. My dash is busted from the drivers side all the way to the passenger side. My fear is that a front impact car wreck will turn my brittle dash into shrapnel causing injury to five kids, myself and my husband. It continuously just gets worse. I have saved all the pieces that I find. It's horrible to think that if a shard can cut my deep enough to require stitches what could they do in the even of a wreck?
Driving down highway traction control light, check engine light, stabilitrax off, service stabilitrax, engine power reduced lights came on. Engine also idled erratically and would try to jump the car forward when slowing down to a stop. Could turn off car for a few mins and it would reset and turn back on and drive normal for a few miles with check engine light on, then do it again. Used heet because thought it was bad fuel but continued doing it.
The dash right by the instrument cluster on the drivers side cracked for no apparent reason other than defective materials used by GM after researching the problem. The vehicle has 31000 miles and is garage kept 95 % of the time. I spoke to my local dealer they have never heard of the problem so the cost would be on me to replace at $1000....GM should fix these after all the vehicle only cost 54,000 new.
After heavy rain I noticed that both of my back doors sounded like there was a gallon of water inside of them. I read that this is a very common issue! I can only imagine the amount of rusting happening inside of there as well as electrical damage & risks of having wet speakers & wiring inside the door. Unacceptable. This should be a recall.
