The plastic dash cover is cracked in several locations. a small crack located in front of the passenger side airbag compartment and numerous cracks on the drivers side domed area above the cluster of gauges. this does concern me because if a frontal accident were to occur, i fear the plastic dash will certainly cause serious damage to the driver and passenger. this happened while driving and i heard a loud pop.
I purchased my 2010 in 2011 and the dash cracked in 2012. i have taken it to my local chevy dealer twice and chevy will still not accept responsibility for its poor quality and manufacturing. a vehicle that is only two years old and had never been involved in an accident should not have cosmetic damage. this is definitely a manufacturers problem and should be replaced by the company. my truck was worth 48,000 at the time and i should not be responsible for a repair caused by poor quality of their materials. now my vehicle is 9 years old and the air bags deployed out of nowhere when my son was driving.... there was no wreck or impact with anything and they deployed. the quality used by chevy is terrible and i do not plan on purchasing anything else from a company that sells over priced vehicles with cheap and faulty parts that they don't want to assume responsibility for.
Dashboard cracks over cluster also on the right side by the air bag. i'm concerned about my safety as well as others.
Sunroof exploded while driving. i was in an 45mph area, coming to a red light at @30 mph, just exploded. no ac or heat on, temp outside was 73 degrees
Rear window glass is no longer stable in the tracks. windows could possibly fly out of vehicle. fmvss 10
I was washing my car and cleaning the interior, then noticed my dash board had a crack in it. it has grown bigger since initial finding. this is a factory defect.
Driving down highway traction control light, check engine light, stabilitrax off, service stabilitrax, engine power reduced lights came on. engine also idled erratically and would try to jump the car forward when slowing down to a stop. could turn off car for a few mins and it would reset and turn back on and drive normal for a few miles with check engine light on, then do it again. used heet because thought it was bad fuel but continued doing it.
My dash started cracking small at first, bumps and vibrations would increase the length and severity of the cracks, all the clips broke off, simply wiping the dash off would break chunks off. in 2017 while cleaning my tahoe i was wiping the dash and a shard caught the side of my hand requiring stitches. while driving the dash has no support and vibrates. depending on the type of road the vibrations are strong enough to break chunks off the dash off that fall down into the console. my dash is busted from the drivers side all the way to the passenger side. my fear is that a front impact car wreck will turn my brittle dash into shrapnel causing injury to five kids, myself and my husband. it continuously just gets worse. i have saved all the pieces that i find. it's horrible to think that if a shard can cut my deep enough to require stitches what could they do in the even of a wreck?
The dashboard of my 2010 tahoe has multiple cracks and is broken all over from no fault of my own. this has been an issue for many people with gm vehicles of this nature and the company won't help me repair or replace my dash. i'm scared that if i get into an accident that the airbags wont deploy or if they do, it will be with thousands of dangerous broken plastic chards! i am seeking help in this matter so that the company can understand that their product has faults and is putting consumers in risk of serious harm and injury.
The dash right by the instrument cluster on the drivers side cracked for no apparent reason other than defective materials used by gm after researching the problem . the vehicle has 31000 miles and is garage kept 95 % of the time. i spoke to my local dealer they have never heard of the problem so the cost would be on me to replace at $1000.00....gm should fix these after all the vehicle only cost 54,000 new .
After heavy rain i noticed that both of my back doors sounded like there was a gallon of water inside of them. i read that this is a very common issue! i can only imagine the amount of rusting happening inside of there as well as electrical damage & risks of having wet speakers & wiring inside the door. unacceptable. this should be a recall.
Large crack development on dash at passenger side airbag and driver side on top of cluster this is a garage kept vehicle that has less than 100 miles a month since purchasing.
The dashboard is cracked on the passenger side from the corner of the airbag cover to the air vent under the windshield. the crack was not visible when the vehicle was purchased used in may 2018 but has since appeared and grown as of july 2018 during regular city driving. we have concerns the crack may interfere with normal deployment of the airbag or cause pieces of the dash to become projected through the cabin upon airbag deployment.
My 2010 tahoe has the notorious crack in the dash at the pasinger side air bag. this is the second time this has happened on the same vehicle. i payed for it to be replace the first time and now it has happened again. i believe this to be a extreme safety hazard to me and my family. if we where to be involved in a accident i am afraid that pieces of the dash could fly off and become projectiles injuring a member of my family.
Tahoe slams back into 2nd gear, gauges drop to zero and can only go about 5mph. the traction control and abs light comes on and the radio turns on and off by its self also the lock will go up and down. this happens out of the blue 3 times going highway speeds. the speedometer will go up and down as well. if i slow down to pull over and try to pick up speed to get over th gas petal seems to not respond.i've been fighting this issue since may of 2018 and it has been in the shop off and on many many times and is currently in the shop for the same thing.. i've already replaced battery cables, tried a battery, new fuse box, new bcm also found service bulletins that states the exact problem to the t and nothing works! you can go online and find hundreds of people that had the sales issue. but nothing seems to fix it. i have versions of it messing up because other people thought i was crazy that it had this issue and then i show them and they are like wow that is crazy!
Big crack on the dashboard right above the steering wheel
The dash has cracks in it on the top near the airbags, next to the speaker, and above the drivers side and it make making noise. he material used to make the panel is weak and may explode if airbag goes off on passenger side.
I have a 2010 chevy tahoe and i noticed a crack on the top of the dash. i am concerned that in the event of an accident that the air bags would deploy that the dash would send shards of plastic.
Dash cover is cracked by the front passenger airbag
The dash board is cracking and falling apart. the vehicle is parked inside the garage daily. just like all other gm models of this body style. for what these vehicles cost, the dash shouldn't be falling apart. very sad on gm's part.
Bought my tahoe a year ago in perfect condition. i clean it 2 to 3 times a month due to having 5 kids. last month i was pulling out of the driveway and heard a loud pop. the next time i cleaned it, it had a crack to the right upper side of the passenger airbag. 2 days ago i was cleaning the dash and there is another huge crack above the steering column. i thought it was just my vehicle and see all these complaints. i've always owned chevy and have never had this issue! if anything happens to my babies because of this defect, i'll own gm. i'm scared to have anyone sit in the passenger seat. you should never feel uncomfortable or unsafe driving a $24,000 vehicle! taking to dealership to see how much it will be to replaced and how much more money i'll have to add to fix a defect that isn't my fault.
The dash has cracked
My 2010 tahoe lt has a cracked dashboard in two places. i have concerns that in the event of an accident that the cracked components may break off and cause injury. apparently this is a common problem.
The dashboard on my chev tahoe 2010 is cracked in two places. i heard the very loud pop sound when it cracked.
I own a 2010 chevy tahoe, which is in pristine condition and taken care of regularly. there is a crack on my dashboard that is getting worse by the day. when taken to the chevrolet dealer where my vehicle was purchased they want $450 to repair! this is a severe safety concern that needs to be addressed immediately.
The dashboard is cracked and spreading by the passenger side airbag. in the event of a accident this may cause pieces of the dash to come off and cause serious physical injury.
My dashboard on my 2010 tahoe is cracked in multiple places.
2010 dashboard cracked in to places an i'm worried that one of the near the passenger air bag would not function in a case of an accident
There is a crack in the front right side of the dashboard. i'm not sure when the split occurred as the vehicle hasn't been involved in any accidents or incidents.
There is a large crack on the passenger side of the dashboard. it is by the airbag. this causes the entire dash to vibrate and make noises. i am afraid that the airbag may be compromised. this just occurred one day. my tahoe is kept in the garage. i have never taken it off road or 4 wheel driving to cause this.
Takata recall. its been a year since getting any new information on this particular recall and now my dashboard is cracking!!! called all chevy dealers in honolulu and its going to cost an arm and a leg to get my dashboard changed!!! very unacceptable that gm won't fix this problem. i just finsished my extended warranty and now this happens!!!! come on gm, fess up to this prpblem!!!!!
Dashboard has been cracking around passenger side airbag area, concerning me that if god forbid an accident happened and the airbag was deployed on passenger side, shards of this cracked dashboard could be dispersed into the area, causing possible laceration or fatal harm to passenger and driver. when investigating, i found this to be very common in this vehicle make and model, with many many people( thousands of them) posting pictures and describing the same issue in "the exact same spots"!!!!. also, the cracks seem to happen over the steering column in addition to the passenger airbag, causing more safety concerns that driving components could now be exposed to damaging heat and ice rays affecting driving safety. i have brought this issue to gm dealership where i purchased car, and they have ignored me. i have also called corporate, and they have also offered no assistance. there is approximately 20,000 people on a web forum called "change.org.", that have explained identical concerns for airbag safety with these cracking dashboards, and the petition has even been brought to gm ceo attention. i am concerned for my families well-being and lives, if ever i was in an accident where these airbags deploy. the cracked dashboard in that area could be a potential lethal weapon causing harm. thank you
The dash board in my 2010 tahoe is crack into pieces. i am truly afraid that if i had a accident that pieces of the dash can really do more damage!
Our dash cracked in two different spots; surrounding the airbags on the passenger side and in front of the instrument cluster. our main concern is if the airbag deploys, there will plastic shrapnel that will fly out. it was not cracked due to negligence, it is a well kept vehicle that is not driven offroad. apparently this is a common problem that chevy is having.
The dash board has 4 different spots that it is cracking and keep forming new cracks all the time why isn't there a recall on this could the sharp pieces from the dash puncture the air bag and not let it properly inflate to save a persons life or is this not a concern to chevrolet
Dash board cracked in two places. one near passenger airbag and the other is above the instrument panel. no accident and cracks causing loose dash board. noticed cracks when rattle sound while driving 2/17.
Dashboard has two cracks one located above steering and passenger side air bag.
In december of 2013 i discovered two cracks in the dashboard of my vehicle. after much discussion with the dealer, the dash was replaced under warranty and i paid $100 plus $9.25 in tax for the replacement. in january 2017, the replacement dash has cracked as well. the crack is allowing the dash to bow and you can see the mechanics under the dash.
I am the 2nd owner of my 2010 chevy tahoe z71. i love the vehicle but recently, the crack that was once a small minute crack above the driver side dashboard has dramatically become larger. when i start my car, there is always a popping sound of the plastic as the dashboard cracks. there is also another crack near the passenger side airbag which concerns me. i recently went to my local dealer who i purchased the vehicle from and they told me to "contact gm and express your concern". that doesn't seem to solve a problem especially if internet search has shown an excessive amount of owners who are experiencing the same problem. this needs to be fixed by a recall by gm.
Takata recall has been an ongoing, unresolvable issue since it began. the dealer has no insight as to when, if ever, it will be fixed. they say to keep watching the nhtsa/gm boards for updates. other issue is the dashboard & its cracking. i had filed with the nhtsa in 2017 with the original crack that happened by the passenger airbag (your tracking number assigned by nhtsa for this issue is 10939141), but am adding this site now. additionally, the dash has cracked behind the driver's "pod", connections have let loose for the middle portion of the dash allowing it to flap over bumps & the latest is the new metallic rattle that has begun somewhere behind the instrument cluster/dash area. i haven't had any cracking off of shards, but as the truck was regularly garaged, parked in a parking garage at work, & now in a carport, it's frustrating to have things occur without the blazing sun to contribute. unlike others, i haven't had major cuts or flying pieces, just small cuts to fingers when i forgetfully am wiping down the dash. i've spoken with the dealership multiple times as things have progressed on the dash & initially they said it was unfortunate & to watch the original one (passenger airbag area), but as there are now more issues with the dash, they say to take it up with gm directly. i haven't started that process yet, but as the airbags & the dash are a never-ending issue, i will make an attempt to start.
The dashboard has cracked over the airbag and if the airbag deploys there will be shards of plastic propelled as shrapnel throughout the car. the crack appeared after using the defrosters on a cold day. there was no impact to the dashboard nor any weight placed on it. it was just a "crack" sound and it appeared.
The dashboard of my chevy tahoe has become cracked in multiple places. one of the cracks goes from the windshield to the front of the dashboard. the cracks seem like a safety hazard specifically in the event of a car accident. in a car accident the cracks may impede the operation of the airbags or allow portions of the dashboard to more easily become projectiles which could cause injury to myself or passengers in my vehicle.
The cracking dash, in my opinion, on a 2010 chevy tahoe has been a long running issue that the manufacturer has not been held accountable for. aside from the physical appearance and sagging, i feel that in the event of an airbag deployment there would be more chance for improper inflation or fragments from already broken dash becoming projectiles. the blind eye that has been turned to this issue from the powers at be is astonishing. i believe the consumer has been done an unjust service while the manufacturer is getting away with not having to correct a safety fault.
I noticed that the dash in my 2010 chevrolet tahoe ltz is cracked above the air bag on passenger side. i also have read where this is something that is happening to lot of tahoes , suburbans and yukons etc. this should be unacceptable for the amount of money i and many other people spend on these vehicles . something should be done about this. my tahoe stays garage kept out of the sun and this still happened.
Dash is cracked with sharp plastic shards protruding around air bags and instrument cluster
Dashboard cracking. possible compromising the air bag functionality.
My dash board surrounding the air bag has cracked.
Same crack in dash as 1000's of other owners of tahoes. gm refuses to claim any responsibility and is asking $1200 for the replacement. this is a safety hazard as it is cracked at the air bag.
'takata recall' it's been a consistent down fall of my dash around my air bag. their is a gaping hole above my airbag now. the service gentleman at autonation stated if the shrapnel from the air bag does not get you, your dash board shrapnel will! last january i simply wiping my dash down sliced open my hand requiring stitches. i made a appointment for my airbag replacement they knew exactly why i was driving there to drop my vehicle off but once i arrived i was told there is still no part available. the technicians are not allowed to disarm the arm bags. in motion the entire dash vibrates, the smallest bump caused pieces to fall off, going over railroad tracks a chunk broke off and hit me in my right eye. i fear for the safety of my children which my 4 year old also cut the side of her arm on my dash. the date below if around when i recieved the airbag recall.
Dash has cracks on it. if the air bags deploy it could send shards flying. compromise the air bag integrity.
