MY 2010 CHEVY TAHOE HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE UPPER DASH AREA BETWEEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND THE DEFROST OUTLET. THERE WAS NO OUTSIDE INFLUENCE THAT CAUSED THE CRACK AND I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS THAT WILL BECOME FLYING SHARDS OF HARD PLASTIC IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS.

I CAME OUT TO START MY CAR ONE DAY AND NOTICED THAT MY DASH BOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAPPENED OVER NIGHT THERES A HUGE CRACK SPLITTING INTO ANOTHER ONE ABOVE MY STEERING WHEEL AND ANOTHER CRACK ON THE CREASE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WHICH IS CAUSING IT TO LIFT AND LOOKS LIKE IT COULD SET OFF THE AIRBAG UNEXPECTEDLY. VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY AS I HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR ON A DAILY BASIS.

IN 2013 I NOTICED SMALL CRACKS ON THE DASH AROUND THE TOP CORNERS OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. SINCE THEN, I WILL HEAR RANDOM "POPPING" SOUNDS AS NEW CRACKS DEVELOP ON THE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE'S ABOUT 3 INCHES LEFT BEFORE THE ENTIRE THING CRACKS OPEN. THERE'S A SEMI-CIRCLE PIECE NOW MISSING FROM THE DASH BECAUSE THE CRACK OPENED UP ENTIRELY AND THE PIECE IS NOW RATTLING SOMEWHERE IN THE DASH... AFTER A PARTICULARLY LOUD CRACK, I NOTICED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WILL INTERMITTENTLY COME ON. THIS IS THE LIGHT THAT SAYS WHETHER IT'S "ON OR OFF." MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL NOT COME ON, EVEN WITH A PERSON CLEARLY SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I'M AFRAID THE AIRBAG WILL EITHER FAIL TO DEPLOY OR RANDOMLY DEPLOY...

TL* 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.

THIS THE 2ND TIME MINE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ON PAASSENGER SIDE OF MINE 2010 TAHOE. THE 1ST TIME SERRA CHEVROLET FIXED AT NO COST TO ME. THIS TIME THAT SAID THAT IT WOULD BE OVER A $1,000 DOLLARS. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THIS, I PARK IN MINE GARAGE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GO GET IT CORRECTED AT NO COST TO ME. I JUST SAW THAT IT HAD HAPPEN, THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS.

DRIVING ALONG ONE DAY AT 45 MPH AND THE DASHBOARD JUST CRACKED. MINE HAS CRACKED OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS THE SAME CRACK AS WELL AS A CRACK OVER THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CRACKED DASH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED, I AM ALSO CONCERNED WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF THE AIR BAG GOES OFF WITH WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A BRITTLE DASH.

HI THE DASHBOARD HAS 2 CRACKS IN IT. ONE ON DRIVER SIDE AND ONE ON PASSENGER WHERE THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY FROM. I FEEL IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WIT MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR IF AN ACCIDENT WAS TO OCCURS THE PLASTIC DASH BEING CRACKED COULD CUT OR KILL ONE OF MY CHILDREN. THANKS *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES. ONE LOCATION IS RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE OTHER IS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN PLASTIC BREAKING FREE AND BECOME FLYING PROJECTILES WITHIN THE CABIN. LIKE MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED, GARAGE KEPT, AND IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THE WAY THAT GM DESIGNED THE DASHBOARDS AND THE MATERIALS USED FOR THE DASHBOARDS ARE THE REASON FOR THIS ISSUE. BOTH GM AND OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAVE DENIED ME ANY ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE DASHBOARD REPLACED. *TR

MULTIPLE CRACKS ON TOP OF DASHBOARD ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES NEAR AIRBAG. *TR

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY DURING A COLLISION OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM SHARP PLASTIC EXPOSED DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASH CUTTING THE AIRBAG OR SHARDS OF PLASTIC BECOMING PROJECTILES POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. *TR

MY DASHBOARD HAD CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. ONE IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIRBAG AND ITS FORCING THE WHOLE DASH TO SHAKE. I'M HOPING THE CRACKS DON'T AFFECT THE AIRBAG IF IT'S EVER NEEDED. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TAHOE DASHBOARD CRACKING. I'M WONDERING WHY THEIR ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS PIECE DUE TO THEM ALL CRACKING BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. *TR

CRACKED DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE AT AIRBAG. *TR

DASH CRACKING COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO AIRBAG AND SHARP SHRAPNEL IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD KEEPS CRACKING. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED TWICE NOW AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY DURING A COLLISION OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM SHARP PLASTIC EXPOSED DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASH CUTTING THE AIRBAG OR SHARDS OF PLASTIC BECOMING PROJECTILES POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CHEVROLET TAHOE IN MARCH OF 2014. I NOTICED TWO CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD SHORTLY THEREAFTER NEAR THE AIRBAG LOCATION. I AM VERY SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL AS THESE CRACKS ARE ONLY GOING TO GROW AND IMPACT THE ENTIRE DASH MEMBRANE THAT HOUSES THE MAJOR CONTROL SYSTEMS OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CRACK APPEARED RIGHT AT 42,000 MILES, AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG CRACK HAPPENED AT 51,000 MILES. MY CHEVY DEALER SAYS IT IS "COSMETIC" SO THEY WILL NOT COVER ANY OF THE REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL UNDER THE "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED" WARRANTY. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN COSMETIC IF THAT AIR BAG EVER GOES OFF. IT IS GOING TO SEND PLASTIC SHRAPNEL EVERY WHERE. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $900 TO REPLACE THE DASH, AND SAYS THEY WOULD BE PUTTING THE SAME DASH BACK IN, SO IT WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY JUST CRACK AGAIN. I AM ON A FACE BOOK PAGE (GM YUKON AND TAHOE CRACKED DASH) WITH 576 MEMBERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

I HAVE A CRACK IN THE CORNER OF MY AIRBAG. AFTER RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT CRACKS IN THEIR DASHBOARDS EITHER ON THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG OR STEERING COLUMN. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A FACEBOOK PAGE STARTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT IS GM YUKON AND TAHOE CRACKED DASHBOARDS. LOOKING AT ALL THE PICTURES POSTED THERE IS A BIT SHOCKING. YOU CAN NOT TELL ONE PICTURE FROM ANOTHER BECAUSE THEY ALL ARE CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOT. AFTER CONTACTING GM I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS DAILY BUT GM WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL IN THE DASHBOARDS. MY CONCERN ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, IS IF THIS COULD SOME HOW AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIRBAG. I CURRENTLY DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN MY FRONT SEAT OUT IF FEAR OF THE AIRBAG. *JS

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD AFFECT MY SAFETY, AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS, SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THE DASH BOARD SHOULD HAVE CRACKED. *TR
