CarComplaints.com Notes: This might be the Tahoe sweet spot. The 2013 has a great safety rating (as long as you don't roll it over), tons of room and few complaints. What it doesn't have is the interior accessory problems of the older or newer generations.

This is a series of crack on the front dashboard. Started from the cowling over instrument panels and has spread to a section by the passenger airbag. There have been a number of GM vehicles with this same dashboard cracking but GM does nothing about it. I'm only a little over 50K miles.
The dash has cracked on the passenger side. The crack starts on the left side of passenger air bag and continues upward. Started small and seemed to get larger overnight. Vehicle is garage kept. No reason for this. Scares me if airbag deploys will plastic explode into someone. From what I have read, this seems to be quite a problem with these dashes.
Dashboard- crumbling apart. Two cracks, one on the passenger side and a 9 inch crack on the drivers side. This car has been very well taken care of. Garage parked with 26,000 miles. Very cheap material used in a $65,000 dollar car. This has never happened to me before in any other car I have owned.
My dashbord cracked as I was sitting in it programming my bluetooth to my phone. My Tahoe is alway garaged kept and it only has 26,000 miles. In no way has it been exposed to extrame heat or sunlight. It cracked on the passenger side above the airbag. I also have a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado that the dash is cracked on it too. After researching this problem, I found that this issue is more than just an isolated issue, as people are having the same issue everywhere. This is a lemon and should be a recall.
This vehicle has 55,680 miles and the upper left corner next to the passenger side air bag is cracked. Because of this dash crack, the air bag cover is lifted. Chevy won't do anything about it because it's out of warranty. Well, this is a major safety issue not to mention there have been thousands of complaint of 2007-2013 Chevy dashed cracking.
Dashboard cracking in two areas, one stemming from passenger side air bag area and the other coming up toward the steering wheel on the drivers side. This started just past the 3 year mark, so is out of warranty. My concern is whether it could impact the effectiveness of the airbag, and/or the structural integrity during any potential impact or crash.
The dash on my Tahoe is cracked over the airbag. I work as a service advisor for a dealership and see every Tahoe between 2007 and 2013 comein with a cracked dash. I bought the vehicle with no crack-always use a deflector to keep the vehicle cool-the dash just cracked one day when it was parked
There is a crack in the dark near the air bag on the passenger side of the vehicle. Crack is in the front dash, located next to air bag deployment area.
Cracked dashboard bought my 2013 Chevy Tahoe ltz. Has only 98000 miles on it. Just noticed a crack at the top left corner of the dashboard, right at the edge of the passenger airbag. Two weeks later, another cracked appeared on the driver side, from the bottom edge of the dashboard and continued up and over the instrument cluster hump. Both cracks appeared while stationary. This vehicle is primarily garaged and has a windshield cover. Very disappointed, since the new retail of this vehicle is close $50,000 brand new and costs over $1000 to replace at the dealer. Not to mention, this is our primary family vehicle, which my wife, 7 yo, 4 yo and 6 month old ride in on a daily basis.
Dashboard on the driver side is cracking and extending upwards towards the driver. Consistently rattles when vehicle is in motion. Crack is also visible on the passenger side leading towards the airbag. Both cracks were noticed when vehicle was in motion.
GM case # 8-316-7114203. Chevy Tahoe ltz dash dashboard cracks have appear on the left side of airbag and right side of instrument panel cracking upward toward the driver. GM was contacted and refuses to help with this defective part. It appears they acknowledge the issue but do not feel olbigated to help the consumer/ this car is to new and expensive for this to occur.. there are many internet links and even class action suits that have been posted with this problem. It should be look as safety issue when just from the stand point of potentially lose interior parts that could dislodge for any reason this is a low mileage one owner car 33K
The dash of my 2013 Tahoe which I paid 48,000 cracked in two places soon as my warranty expired! all of my door handles on outside have fallen off and been replaced ed and the driver door panel has been replaced because of handle breaking. Too much other mess to explain. Just a very cheaply made vehicle. Very dissatisfied !I would like to file a formal complaint followed up with a formal investigation
