Shortly after purchasing my vehicle the dash board cracked, today (6/27) a piece of my dashboard completely broke off while driving.
I came out of my house and got in my truck (2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz) yesterday morning (1/15/2019). after i started my truck i heard strange noises, as if something was popping/cracking. i looked around inside my truck but didn't really notice anything because i was looking in the rear, left and right out the windows. i opened the sunroof cover & didn't notice anything, until i looked down and seen two separate cracks on top of my dashboard. one long crack about 3 or 4 inches long on top of my dashboard, overtop of my gauges and another crack on the passenger side by the airbag on top of the dashboard about 1 inch and a half long. i don't know how my dashboard can just crack on its own, but i do know that it was not there days before because i had my truck detailed inside/out after being fully painted. i checked online didn't see any recalls from gm for cracked dashboards on 2007 chevrolet tahoe's but i do see a lot of random complaints were numerous people had the same issue on various of gm trucks from 2007-2014.

I am concerned about a manufacturing defect in the dash of tahoes. i have read numerous complaints online from other chevy tahoe owners of various years with same exact issue. the dash is cracking at the airbag locations. at what point does this become a safety issue? is it only after an injury or death occurs? there is already a recall on the taka airbag inflator but we remain on a "list" for repairs. any safety issue should not take that long to be repaired. the cracking in the dash at the locations of the airbags should also be taken seriously!
