There is a large crack in the dashboard right up to the air bag. I don't know when or how it started. I looked at the dashboard and there was a crack. It seems to be getting bigger. I am afraid that if I am ever in an accident with a passenger the airbag will not deploy.

I need my cracked dash replaced or fixed. It just cracked one day. No accident or anything it was parked and cracked. I believe it's a faulty dash. We have an 2004 Tahoe and dash has never done this. From what I've read GM purchased some dash from another company but realized they were problems and went back to original company. So they need to step up and be responsible for this problem.. the crack is on thr drivers side and growing.

problem #72

Tahoe

  • 116,000 miles
Approximately 6 months ago the dash on the passenger side started to crack in my 2012 Chevy Tahoe. It has always been in a heated garage and out of the sunlight. On December 1, 2015 is the date I purchased the vehicle and the dealer talked me into putting a nano technology coating on the entire vehicle to keep it in like new condition, which cost me $899. I took it to the dealership and showed them and they were going to let me know if abra would fix it, however, after 2 months still no response from the dealership and I contacted them again yesterday. The other thing is the driver side door handle has cracked underneath and so when you close the door it feels like you are going to pull the door vinyl right off. I have never had anything like this happen before.

We own two Chevy Tahoe's, one is a 2008 and the other is a 2012. Both of them have cracking dashboards. I am highly concerned as the effect this could have on the airbags. Both vehicles are in very good condition except for the cracking dashboards.

Tahoe

  • miles
This vehicle was purchased new in 2012 and has been garaged for the entirety with the exception of various trips. The vehicle has approximately 41.000 miles at the time the cracked dash was discovered. There are no foreseeable reason for the dash to crack other than a failure in the manufacturer process. Please advise.
