Cracked dashboard, front passanger airbag and also by driver side
Electrical problems resulting from burned washer fluid heater
My dashboard has cracked, unexpectedly (having only 76,000 miles) on my tahoe ltz 2007. in my review and research of this issue i have seen a common trend with gm for these models. among this trend, and incidentally from my research, they are all cracking in the same spots as mine. above the driver's side instrument panel and the upper left corner of the passenger front airbag. in lieu of these these dashboard cracks, and combined with the existing recall that has no solution for fix- surrounding the takata inflators among the airbags, this becomes a serious safety hazard should there be an accident. the time to make corrections and fixes, not at the owner's or passengers' expense, is before an accident occurs. i would appreciate any advise or insight surrounding this matter. i do have photos on my phone for future documentation should it be needed. your assistance is greatly appreciated in this matter. please note, this tahoe is well taken care of and has always been garaged. it's documented history and appearance attest to that fact.
My dashboard has numerous cracks on and around passenger airbag compartment which compromise safe and effective deployment of passenger airbag in collision.
Multiple cracks have appeared in my dash board. anywhere from above the instrument panel to the corners of the airbag. dash board is starting to flop and pieces breaking and falling into the dash falling out the bottom on to the floor.
Vehicle dashboard has began to crack in multiple areas if the dash. mainly on the portion around the instrument cluster and one around the passenger airbag. vehicle does not move often and it has tint to reduce heat inside and i use a window screen to keep direct sunlight off the dash along with conditioner to keep the palstics from cracking.
The dash board in my 2007 tahoe has cracked on the drivers side and on the passenger side where the air bags are. this could easily send splinters or bigger pieces of plastic pieces flying into the car if the air bags were to deploy. very dangerous situation. there was no accident or misuse that cause this. the dash just started cracking. the car was kept in a garage. many other complaints about this issue can be found.
Recalls on numerous gm vehicles for catching fire: the vehicle was setting in driveway for over 7 hours and neighbors were awaken by loud explosion and looked out and saw flames under the hood. they woke myself and my daughter up out of deep sleep and car was engulfed in flames. from front bumper to back cargo area total loss. fire department came but couldn't salvage the car. the garage door, garage entry door and downstairs basement were damaged ad possible replacement on them. there has never been any signs of over heating, or smoking, and any type of burning smells.
Takata recall dashboard is cracking on left side
The entire dash is cracked in multiple places and shards of plastic come off easily which during a crash or air bag deployment could cause chunks/shards to injure or kill someone. this is a know issue with these vehicles and gm should recall this known problem
Dash is cracking a part in two places and also around the passenger airbag with the possibility of becoming a projectile in a wreck and could possibly hurt or kill somebody
Cracked dash and passenger airbag does not work. i have two (2) estimates to repair these problems. the estimates 1137.00 to 1439.00 to repair.
Takata recall
Cracked dash issue. 3 cracks extending the length of the dash panel and one of those cracks is adjacent to the airbag on passenger side.
I have complained to dealership over the past year that my dashboard above the instrument cluster and around the passenger side airbag has been cracking. they stated that if it begins to crack around airbag, that it could cause a safety concern. it has now cracked around the airbag and i'm concerned that this could cause a disruption in airbag/flying debris towards passenger if it were to deploy (possible severe injury or even death). the dealership stated there isn't a recall for this as it's common for this to happen in gm vehicles but that it's a known issue and that sometimes they will cover the cost.
