Problems with 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe STRUCTURE

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

Cracked dashboard on passenger side at airbag. *tr

Multiple cracks on top of dashboard on both driver and passenger sides near airbag. *tr

Dash cracking could cause damage to airbag and sharp shrapnel if airbag deploys. *tr

My oldest son bought a 2010 tahoe. i loved it and apparently made a mistake when i traded in my toyota for a 2010 tahoe. last year our youngest son and his wife also purchased a tahoe (2011). all three have dashboards that are now cracking. obviously a defect in the product. is gm going to do anything about this problem? from what i am reading it appears to be a nationwide issue with these vehicles. the crack in my dash is right above the airbag. *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

Dash is cracked... center dash bounces and rattles due to the weight of center speaker. *tr

Not sure if it is a safety issue but i have had areas of cracking on the top of the dashboard. i have never seen a vehicle have this condition with only 45000 miles on it and the fact that it is garaged frequently. there is also peeling of some type of coating in the center of the steering wheel. *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

Dash is starting to crack on passenger side (left front area of airbag). this suv is a 2010 chevy tahoe ls. vehicle has around 71k miles. wanted to check transmission level, but transmission dip stick and tube come together off from transmission. checked under suv, found transmission tube popped out. the bracket that holds transmission tube is broken. i was able to pop transmission tube back in. also left rear and tight front inner chrome door handle are starting to peel off. plan to take to chevy dealer, to see what they can do about this concerns. *tr

Dash has cracked from middle to top above instrument cluster. dash is crack on 2 corners of in-dash air bag which could cause the dash to come apart and sharp pieces be thrown toward the passenger if the air bad deployed. this is the 2nd dash on the same vehicle to crack the first time was in 2011 as was replaced under warranty. *tr

As i was riding down the interstate i heard a load pop or cracking sound. i looked around the vehicle and couldn't find where it came from. when i got home i inspected it a bit further and found that the dash had cracked right above the instrument panel on the drivers side. i couldn't believe my eyes. a few weeks later the same sound occurred and i noticed a crack by the passenger side airbag. although it wasn't big i was concerned. just a few days after that....another pop. the crack on the passenger side had extended in length. i have tried to contact chevrolet regarding the issue but there is always a long hold time. the reason that this concerns me now is that in november i was t-boned at an intersection and pushed into a curb on the passenger side and much to my surprise the air bad did not deploy. now i wonder if it has malfunctioned and if the crack was the cause. considering the age, the number of complaints on various websites and the fact that we take very good care of our $30,000 investment you would think that chevy would step up and take responsibility for a faulty/defective product. *tr

Major cracks (3) on dashboard.....one is over 8 inches poor quality!!! i was thinking buying a pick up silverado truck but not with these issues. *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

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

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...

There is a crack on the top part of the dash and it just keeps cracking. i a, scared its going to affect the gauges and airbag, i use a windshield cover so i am not sure why this happened. i paid way to much for this to happen. but i have seen where multiple people have had the same problem . *tr

I have a crack in my dash board above the instrument panel on my 2010 chevy tahoe. i am concern if there is an airbag deployment the dash will cause serious personal injury to me as the driver or any passengers. this is a common occurrence with chevy dash boards and it needs to be rectified. *tr

Dashboard has numerous cracks. there are several around the passenger side airbag and directly above instrument panel. if it continues, the instrument panel will be split in two. *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.

Dashboard is cracked clearly defective leaving wires exposed to temp differences that can cause exposure to moisture on electrical wires,circuits inside dash that worries me of electric fires gm wont replace dash at 100% cost and their are clearly issues regarding their dashboards all over the us but gm will not address this.. *tr

Dash. cracked on drivers side and also passenger side. then a larger cracked appeared going higher up over the control panel. the year after we purchased this vehicle new, we kept hearing a rattle. as time went on the noise increased and the hairline crack became larger. we have had to insert a foam piece to control the rattleling. our so. has a 2010 chevy tahoe and has the same issue

There is a crack on my dashboard right above the speedometer. *tr

Chrome on inside door handle has peeled and is cutting fingers when you open the door. *tr

I have read thousands of complaints about the dashboard being cracked. mine has done the same and i had taken it to the dealer to see if it was covered under warranty and they had told me no because it did not come from the factory like that. i'm thinking well no [xxx], have an electrical issue/powertrain issue/engine issue/ etc it's probably not going to come from the factory with the issue. anyway i am trying to contact chevrolet to fix the issue and/or put out a recall for the problem. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *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

The passenger door handle broke from the screw housing and not the handle itself. chevy's response: pull too hard on door handle, $ 200 repair cost to replace handle. the dashboard in front of the steering wheel started cracking and running towards the steering wheel. chevy's response: some time the heat will do that. $ 950 repair cost for new dashboard. my tahoe is in top shape, washed twice a week inside and out and is garaged? i don't know why the simple things are so cheap? *tr

Dash above gauges started cracking and keeps growing as well as a 2-3in crack by passenger air bag

Chrome plated interior door handle is peeling and cutting fingers. *tr
