The dash board has 4 different spots that it is cracking and keep forming new cracks all the time why isn't there a recall on this could the sharp pieces from the dash puncture the air bag and not let it properly inflate to save a persons life or is this not a concern to Chevrolet
I own a 2010 Chevy Tahoe, which is in pristine condition and taken care of regularly. There is a crack on my dashboard that is getting worse by the day. When taken to the Chevrolet dealer where my vehicle was purchased they want $450 to repair! this is a severe safety concern that needs to be addressed immediately.
The dash of my 2010 Chevy Tahoe has cracked at the drivers side and passenger side airbag. My concern is for the stability of the dash and of the air bag is deployed will the dash puncture the airbag causing it not to inflate. The cracks stayed small but with vibration have grown to a full hole in the dash above the steering column.
The dashboard is cracked and spreading by the passenger side airbag. In the event of a accident this may cause pieces of the dash to come off and cause serious physical injury.
Our dash cracked in two different spots; surrounding the airbags on the passenger side and in front of the instrument cluster. Our main concern is if the airbag deploys, there will plastic shrapnel that will fly out. It was not cracked due to negligence, it is a well kept vehicle that is not driven offroad. Apparently this is a common problem that Chevy is having.
There is a crack in the front right side of the dashboard. I'm not sure when the split occurred as the vehicle hasn't been involved in any accidents or incidents.
Dashboard has been cracking around passenger side airbag area, concerning me that if god forbid an accident happened and the airbag was deployed on passenger side, shards of this cracked dashboard could be dispersed into the area, causing possible laceration or fatal harm to passenger and driver. When investigating, I found this to be very common in this vehicle make and model, with many many people( thousands of them) posting pictures and describing the same issue in "the exact same spots"!!!!. also, the cracks seem to happen over the steering column in addition to the passenger airbag, causing more safety concerns that driving components could now be exposed to damaging heat and ice rays affecting driving safety. I have brought this issue to GM dealership where I purchased car, and they have ignored me. I have also called corporate, and they have also offered no assistance. There is approximately 20,000 people on a web forum called "change.org.", that have explained identical concerns for airbag safety with these cracking dashboards, and the petition has even been brought to GM CEO attention. I am concerned for my families well-being and lives, if ever I was in an accident where these airbags deploy. The cracked dashboard in that area could be a potential lethal weapon causing harm. Thank you
Dashboard cracked on passenger side at upper left corner of airbag. Safety concern since plastic is cracked. Cannot get answer on takata recall notice.
Dash board cracked in two places. One near passenger airbag and the other is above the instrument panel. No accident and cracks causing loose dash board. Noticed cracks when rattle sound while driving 2/17.
In December of 2013 I discovered two cracks in the dashboard of my vehicle. After much discussion with the dealer, the dash was replaced under warranty and I paid $100 plus $9.25 in tax for the replacement. In January 2017, the replacement dash has cracked as well. The crack is allowing the dash to bow and you can see the mechanics under the dash.
I am the 2nd owner of my 2010 Chevy Tahoe Z71. I love the vehicle but recently, the crack that was once a small minute crack above the driver side dashboard has dramatically become larger. When I start my car, there is always a popping sound of the plastic as the dashboard cracks. There is also another crack near the passenger side airbag which concerns me. I recently went to my local dealer who I purchased the vehicle from and they told me to "contact GM and express your concern". that doesn't seem to solve a problem especially if internet search has shown an excessive amount of owners who are experiencing the same problem. This needs to be fixed by a recall by GM.
The dashboard has cracked over the airbag and if the airbag deploys there will be shards of plastic propelled as shrapnel throughout the car. The crack appeared after using the defrosters on a cold day. There was no impact to the dashboard nor any weight placed on it. It was just a "crack" sound and it appeared.
