Driving on highway at night. go to high beams and motor immediately begins to rev up/down, and run erratic. switch beams to normal position=it stops. when depressing key fob to open and close doors, it only works frequently. bizarre electrical issue....
'service airbag' message appeared on my dashboard screen. possibly connected to numerous cracks on passenger and driver side. vehicle has approximately 90k miles. cracks appeared when it had approximately 40k miles. dealer said it was not covered at that time.
I have two cracks in the dashboard. one is on the passenger side right near the airbag and one in one the drivers side. i have read many complainants about this issue and it puzzles me why chevy would not do a recall. my 2011 is very well taken care of so it is not neglect on my part.
Dash board cracked by passenger air bag possibly compromising safety. fearful that air bag stability has been compromised.
Dash has two cracks right above the driver's steering section near the middle. it shakes while driving and causes a tremendous distraction due to the way it flaps. this is also reflected in the windshield during normal driving on interstates and normal state roads. the movement is most noticeable at speeds above 35 mph. i have had the vehicle checked out, tires aligned and balanced, it does not help. this is a dangereous distraction and a dash should not be cracking this quickly, this is a wide problem across many gm trucks and suvs.
Ignition lock actuator bind making turning the key difficult and causing the ignition to get stuck in the start position even when turning the car off.
Dash is cracked in tow seperate areas. one above the steering wheel, and one above the passenger side air bag. this causes a major safety concern, in that if i was in an accident and the air bags deployed, flying debris could harm myself and my children. this cracks happened for no apparent reason, other than being cheaply made and installed. the vehicle was stationary and not touched when these cracks occurred.
I have a 2011 chevrolet tahoe lt and it has two cracks on the dash. one above the passenger air bag and the other above the odometer. as i search the website i am seeing more and more complaints about the same issue, especially with the gmc yukon, chevrolet tahoe, avalanche and suburban
My vehicle has a cracked dash directly above the instrument panel and over to the passenger side airbag. i heard a "pop" while the vehicle was in motion on hwy 41 in kennesaw, ga and spotted the crack after stopping to investigate.
My dash cracked out of the blue one day about two weeks ago. it started out as two small cracks on each side of the top center vent by the windshield. i have the 2011 chevy tahoe ltz version with a speaker in the middle of the dash. the speaker doesn't appear to have any support for the weight of the speaker and the dash cracks have now grown towards the instrument panel and also by the driver side airbag. the cracks are on both sides of the center speaker and now the speaker just constantly flops up and down with normal driving. the flopping speaker with no (support) is causing the crack to get worse and worse. the cracks are spider webbing now and getting much longer everyday i drive it to work. while researching what to do about this issue i discovered that several thousand complaints have been made about multiple gm model vehicles having cracked dash boards between the years of 2007 and 2014. the dash cover option being suggested to hide the cracks is in no way a safe and reliable solution to this issue because it interferes with the manufacturers airbag safety design and and specified assured clearance for deployment. the covers do not adhere to the rated specification of the air bag. anyone who has ever worked in a plant where the air bags are manufactured knows how precise and specific these strict guidelines and specifications are held to.
I bought my 2011 chevrolet tahoe about 4 years ago (used, but in great condition) - within a month my dash had cracked. nothing that i did at all! my normal driving everyday keeps me with 20-30 miles maximum, on very well made roads (nothing extreme). i paid to get it fixed (the first time) and now 4 years later and it has cracked again. after the first time i paid to get it fixed, they actually didn't install the dash correctly and then said that it was my fault that it was messed up and demanded that i pay for it. i refused and said that i was done with it. it's a safety hazard because it's right above my airbags, and like i said, this is the second time in 4 years that my dashboard has cracked.

My dash split around the passenger side airbag and on the drivers side on the 'hood' above the gauges. it's ridiculous how wide spread of a problem this is on these year model, yet chevrolet charges $360 for the replacement part.
My dashboard is cracked in two locations. the speaker in the dashboard has been serviced once by the dealership and is the only time the dashboard has been touched. nothing has been done on my part to jeopardize the integrity of the dashboard. an internet search shows that this is a common problem in tahoe's. i have received no reasonable explanation for the damage along with no reasonable fix ($1,500!!!!). i have had my vehicle serviced religiously at the dealership and at no point was i made aware that this was or could become an issue. now they tell me to file an insurance claim!?!? date this occurred is unknown and has been estimated to best of my recollection.
Dashboard is cracking on drivers side causing a safe risk .the crack is all the way down by windshield and goes all the up to atop of stairing wheel .feels like dashboard is loose
The dash board has several cracks in it. when asked a dealer about it they said this was very common for chevys. it's interesting that this information is posted all over the internet, why would chevrolet compromise customer satisfaction. also the side trim is falling off
The dashboard has cracked for the second time since 2011. it was replaced by general motors at ed morse sawgrass chevrolet in sunrise, fl in april of 2014 due to a known problem with defective material causing the dashboards to crack over the instrument panel and front passenger air bag. now the new dashboard that was installed in my vehicle in 2014 is cracking in the same place as the original dashboard. i contacted general motors and ed morse sawgrass chevrolet and they have acknowledged the defect, but refuse to fix the problem stating it is not a safety hazard, which is not true. with the dashboard cracking, it is causing sharp loose pieces of plastic that can impale the occupants in a sudden stop and/or collision. the problem is not caused due to weather exposure because my vehicle is garage kept with only 48,000 miles. this problem is widespread and lawsuits are pending throughout the united states due to the problem. a recall needs to be issued.
Multiple cracks across the dashboard have formed, in some cases completely bisecting the dashboard pieces. i'm concerned that if the airbags are deployed or in the event of a crash these sharp pieces of plastic will become projectiles. i was just quoted a price of $1400 by my dealer to replace the dash, but it seems this is a common problem.
The entire dash in my 2011 chev tahoe is in disintegration. during the last three months it is cracking into many pieces. i understand this has been a problem and is a problem for all owners until 2016. what is gm doing about this factory defect in materials?? this is an ongoing problem and is getting worse and cracking across the entire dash. my son has same problem with his 2012 gmc yukon. gm wanted $2000.00 to replace dash unit. this is a major problem if dash comes apart while driving down the road.
Dash cracked in 2 spots......1 over instrument panel.... 1 at the air bag
Dashboard cracked while driving on the highway
My stability track light will come on and my tahoe will decrease in speed when this happens. this has happened multiple times in the past couple of months. my dashboard has a huge crack over the instrument cluster. it made a loud pop sound when it split. there is a rubbing noise coming from my steering column when i have to turn a corner.
Recently, i have noticed a rattle coming from the dash area. i noticed there was a crack in the dash to the upper left of the passenger side dash airbag. there's also another place on the dash that has cracked and causes a loud rattling noise when driving. i cannot pinpoint exactly when the cracked happened. but, after doing some research, i found out that it is a very common defect in certain gmc vehicles for years 2007-2014. i personally know two people that own gmc/chevy suvs that have the same exact crack on the top area of the dash. i am mainly concerned that in the event my airbag does deploy, there could be shrapnel because of the location and severity of the crack. also, there is no way of knowing if this crack would at all interfere with the deployment of the passenger side airbag.
Crack on dash near air bag - this happened a few weeks ago so i started doing online research on this and found this is a common defect with gms dashes. found this facebook group "07-13 gm cracked dash safety hazard for all trucks" and realized several people are having this issue. i called the local dealership and was told it's a known problem, but no recall has been issued yet. she told me in the meantime to make sure i keep a car shade on when it's outside (which i already do). she also said there is a chance i will see additional cracks over time. my concern is if the air bag were to deploy, would the crack cause my dash or parts of it to shatter and/or make the airbag less effective.

Got into my 2011 chevy tahoe ltz on a spring afternoon, started the truck, put my truck in drive, started moving and heard a vibrating noise. looked around my dash and noticed 2 cracks on my dashboard. which has now turned into 2 cracks on my dash. how does that happen so fast? now i am reading online this is an ongoing problem with certain models. why isn't this being handled by gm? nice truck when i first got it but now i am thinking about trading in for anything but this. i've had the truck 4 years and have a cracked dash and smells of mold that my car dealer can't find the cause of. i am disappointed in you gm.
