Drivers side dash is cracking two places and spreading higher towards the instrument cluster. happened between 8/26/16 8/28/16. happened while i was driving on a city street. above the center speaker in the middle of the dash the plastic clips that hold the two piece dash together also broke to. i'm worried that it'll get worse and possibly come loose. between the two cracks the plastic is fairly loose. i've read a lot of reviews about this issue. from 2007 to 2010 tahoe's are the worst.

Cracked dash could affect the safety of the airbags
My 2010 chevrolet tahoe ltz has developed a crack in the dash. the crack is located on the driver's side, right side of the instrument cluster, where the dash panels meet in the middle. the vehicle has 64k miles on it, has not been cleaned with chemicals on the dash, has not been in any accidents, and is garage kept. the dealer has stated that this is not covered by a recall, by my extended warranty (still valid), or the extra protection package that i purchased. no other options were offered by the dealer. this presents a safety concern since the dash plastic is hard, is cracking with sharp edges, and could become a projectile in the event of a crash or airbag deployment. the crack was observed while the vehicle was parked.
My 2010 with 80,000 miles has a cracked dash. a crack above the gage an one that i'm really concerned about attached to my airbag. in doing some research i have found that this cracking is a huge problem for gm owners from the year 07-13! my concern is if the airbag were to deploy that the plastic would be sent flying an hurt passengers. gm has had many complaints about this an helps some people an not others! i feel this is a safety concern an should be recalled.
Takata recall - my srs light came on in my truck stating that maintenance needed to be preformed. shortly afterwards, my dash cracked in front of the airbag compartment. i feel this is a safety hazard to anyone sitting in the passenger seat.
Out of nowhere a 1 1/2 inch wide pizza-shaped crack appeared on the dashboard over the main instrument console just off center towards the middle of the dash. we've lived in very hot climate(visalia,ca) with extremes from 110 degrees down to 32 degrees and less and have never had a dashboard crack occur, including our previously owned 2002 chevy tahoe. it's now covered with a dash carpet. sure hope our safety isn't compromised. our vehicle was stationary.
Three large (and growing) cracks in my dashboard. one around the housing of the airbag. the other two are above the steering wheel. very concerned that if air bag deploys, dash material from broken piece may become a projectile or puncture the airbag not allowing it to work. i see gm says it is a know design defect but there is no recall. chevrolet dealer told me it is #1 repaired item on tahoe.
The dash at the corner of my passenger side airbag cracked and now the entire dash rattles. i am worried about how this affects the airbag now. the dash was vibrating so much and it just keeps getting worse. i have looked online and apparently, i am not even close to being the only one with this problem. please help!
The dashboard has 2 cracks in it that randomly showed up, 1 in at the top left corner on the pasenger side by the air bag and the other the top left side of the drivers side above the instument panel and its getting larger by the day.
Cracked dashboard. this is a common issue gm fails to acknowledge. the danger is the plastic shattering if the airbag deploys and because of the material defect in the plastic, large sharp shards can be shot into the cabin area if airbag deploys (shrapnel).
Dashboard is cracking on both sides where top vent meets corners. there was no incident to cause this, and the cracks have gotten progressively worse over the last few months. makes horrific screeching noise when car is in motion. makes me wonder if air bags would deploy correctly on passenger side.
The dashboard is cracking. it started with cracking around the passenger side airbag. it is now cracking forward of the instrument panel.this is also occurring on my 2008 chev silverado, but much worse. this is a safety issue if involved in a crash and the airbag deploys. i contacted gm/chevrolet and they will replace the dash for $305. the question is, why are the dashes cracking at all !

Dashboard cracked on its own. long crack, found to be extremely common in chevrolet tahoes.
Cracked dashboard
Cracked dashboard from the corner of the airbag. this crack has caused a stress fracture crack on the other side of the dash. the weight of the speaker in the middle constantly makes the sash panel vibrate.
The dashboard on my 2010 chevrolet tahoe has two severe cracks...one above the instrument panel and the other beside the passenger side airbag. it would seem that this crack could interfere with the effectiveness of the airbag. this is a known issue with these vehicles.
I have a 2010 chevy tahoe that has two cracks in the dashboard. one is directly in front of the driver's side and the other one is on the passenger's side near the airbag area. the defect is just visible and so far has not impacted the truck's performance when in motion. i saw where a number of other owners of gmc, chevrolet, and cadillac suv owners have this same issue. i am not sure if the airbags deployment may be affected. however, i would like for gmc to issue a notice and/or recall.
Dash has cracked in two places. one connecting to the air bag and one over the steering wheel. i noticed it about 6-8 months ago (october 2015) and attempted to glue it...it is just getting worse and the crack over the steering will is growing.

Vehicle dash is cracking in multiple places. around air bags
My dash is cracked in 4 different places. one crack extends to the airbag and i am afraid if the airbag were to deploy pieces of the dash would break off and potentially hit someone. it is also very annoying because it rattles constantly.
Multiple cracks on top of dashboard on both driver and passenger sides near airbag. if the airbags deploy due to a crash, there will be multiple pieces of the dashboard broken that could inhibit the deployment of the airbags or cause plastic pieces to impale a passenger. the dealership has declined to repair under a gm recall.
I have two cracks that appeared on my dashboard for absolutely no reason. one is above the steering wheel and the other is on the passenger side at the edge of the airbag compartment. the one by the airbag is the shape of a triangle and a whole piece of the dash fell off. i believe it is very dangerous because if the airbag deployed it would very likely catch on the missing piece of dash and rip. it seems that it could also cause the dash to crack further and pieces of the dash could go flying at a passenger if there were an accident. i took it to two different chevy dealers and neither of them would admit it was dangerous and wanted to change over 800 dollars to repair it.
I have two big cracks in my dashboard. these cracks are not from lack of maintenance or from sun-damage. this is from faulty product installed by gmc/chevrolet. i know of at least 3 other vehicles at my company that have the same issue and in the same spot. you can also pull story after story up online about this same issue and gm refuses to put a recall out for their faulty product. with the location of the cracks which are next to the airbags it is my fear that if there is an accident and the airbag deploys that it will cause shrapenal to fly abouth the vehicle. this is not only a flaw of gm but could cause serious damage to a passenger of the vehicle.
Dashboard above speedometer hump cracked. 6 months later a crack on passenger and driver side by airbags cracked. the cracks are continually getting longer. a total of 3 cracks.
Cracked dashboard near the passenger air bag and above the speedometer
I purchased brand new chevrolet tahoe in 2010, the vehicle has less than 75,000 miles and has developed a crack in the dashboard. this vehicle has been taken care of since purchase, so very upset that the dashboard has cracked. it started cracking a year after having warranty work done ( dash had to be removed to replace onstar system).

The dash has 2 large cracks, i have other vehicles much older with out any dash cracks. this has to be due to bad material. i believe this to be a safety concern due to air bag inflation and the possibility of propelling a chunk of plastic from the dash.
I have a 2010 chev tahoe that is in excellent condition. my dash both front and back has cracks. i take very good care of my tahoe which you can tell by the condition it is in both outside and inside. in fact, i still have the plastic protector cover over the lens on the radio. general motors should have a recall on the dashes. also, my air bag made by takata needs to be replaced!!! i have spoken with dealerships in my area and both of these 2 things have been a big concern with customers. gm needs to step up and take care of their customers!

My 2010 chevy tahoe ltz has a crack right above my passenger side airbag. given that i have seen thousands of people with the same issue, this should be considered a defect and a recall should be issued. it is a safety hazard because if my airbag deploys, there is a possibility that pieces of plastic could injure someone.
The plastic dash has cracked around the airbag which might interfere with the airbags or become projectiles from the airbags deploying.
