Takata recall - general motors and their authorized dealers have refused to replace the faulty passenger air bag on our 2011 chevrolet tahoe even though its been recalled in 2016. the nhtsa recall number is 16v381 and manufacturer recall number is 2049151 and even though their is a recall for our vehicle's air bag, all of the general motors dealers we contacted said nothing was being done to recall the faulty air bag and that the car was "safe to drive" which is unacceptable. i want to resolve my defective airbag problem with our vehicle but i am powerless to force general motors to correct the problem without expensive litigation. i refuse to accept the statement of "your vehicle is safe to drive" from general motors and their dealerships knowing that our car could be a potential death trap in the future.

No air bags available
Dash has cracked around passenger air bag. afraid it will easily deploy. just noticed this 2" crack about a month ago. no reason to have cracked.
2 issues--- 1st--dashboard has cracks in it, which 1 crack is on the passenger side. it could be a safety hazard and cause the airbag to explode causing great harm to a person. these cracks are in the same position as many other consumers who have made complaints. 2nd--engine shuts down while driving; no steering or brake control. radio shuts off & on, all dash components flicker on and off, gauges turn off, door locks engage & disengage. this happens for 3-10 seconds and then will "reset" and function normal. i've looked at different forums to try to find out what could be causing this and many other people are experiencing this issue.

No resolution has been made in over a year & this is a serious issue that could injury or death to anyone in my car including myself or my young children.
Dash on 2011 chevrolet tahoe has cracked on the passenger side next to the airbag panel. dash has also cracked on the driver side above the instrument panel cluster. concern is that in a car accident where the air bags deploy the dash board may break apart and become shrapnel causing additional injury, permanent disability, or death to the passenger.
Dash board has been cracking...started from the corners of the airbag....now i have cracks all over the dashboard.

Dash is cracking around passenger side airbag and the instrument cluster. this is unsafe because in the event of passenger airbag deploying, shards of cracked dash can become projectiles. many complaints on internet about same issue, no resolution from gm.
The dashboard cracked between the air bag and the dash vent while the vehicle was parked. the second crack, above the driver controls occurred while the defroster was running and while driving on the interstate traveling at approximately 65-mph.
Takata recall
Gm dealer states they are unable to replace the defective air bag in my vehicle. apparently, gm has filed a request with nhtsa to extend date recalls are to start. what is nhtsa's position, specifically, is gm exempt or allowed to ealay replacement action?
Dash is cracking around passenger side airbag. this is unsafe because in the event of passenger airbag deploying, shards of cracked dash can become projectiles. many complaints on internet about same issue, no resolution from dealer or gm customer service.
Dash is cracking around passenger airbag and above instrument cluster. concerned that if airbags went off dash pieces would impale driver and/or passengers.
Dash is cracked is several areas
Came out to take the kids to school and there was a crack in my dash near the passenger air bag. crack appeared over night, car was parked in oceanside ca. concern for passenger and flying debris or if airbag will even work properly. this seems to be a common problem.
Three dash board cracks appeared on the dash overnight. one crack near drivers dash area under windshield, two others on passenger side of dash by the airbag. concerned this could cause issues with airbag deployment or cause proper operation issues. this tahoe was perfectly fine, came out to car overnight and noticed the cracks.
Dash has cracked around passenger air bag . if airbag is deployed could send pieces into passenger. seems is a common problem .
Top of dashboard cracked - no accident involved. i have concerns about the airbag working properly now. dealer wants $1,000 to fix it.
The dash board has cracked at several places, including where the passenger side air bags it happened sometime in sept'2015, even though the tahoe always is parked in shade (under the porte cochere) or in the garage. i have called gmac and the dealer several times i have been asked to pay out of pocket $800 for a manufacturing defect as this is a common complaint, on chevy dashboards.
My dashboard is cracking in two places now. my concern is that the crack near the passenger airbag will affect it's effectiveness in a crash. i've contacted the dealership & gm and been told they will not fix it.
The dashboard on my tahoe has began to crack. it originally began to crack on the drivers side and has spread up over the control panel. last week i noticed a crack on the passenger side that leads right to the airbag. now that the airbag is involved i definitely feel that this is a major safety hazard. seeing the widespread complaints about this happening to others i feel this should be a recall. $70,000 vehicles should not have plastic dashboards that crumble away. updated 09/09/15*lj
While driving on city streets several days ago i heard a loud popping sound as if an object has hit the windshield. after stopping to inspect for damage and not finding any glass cracks or chips i drove on. shortly thereafter i noticed a noise coming from the dash area and found that the center portion of the dashboard at the radio speaker was loose due to fact that the tab which is designed to hold the center fastener was broken by the weight and movement of the speaker. upon further examination i found that the dashboard was cracked at the upper left hand corner of the airbag compartment on the passenger side. the vehicle was taken to a local gm dealer this morning due to safety concerns with regards to the air bags either being deployed accidentally or in the event of a real accident, damage to the air bags due to the broken edges of the plastic dash material. furthermore, personal injury could occur as a result of flying debris from the loose, broken or brittle plastic pieces immediately adjacent to the air bag compartment. according to the local dealer they are and have been aware of these type of failure to the dash components for several years (dating back to 2005) on this vehicle but to date they have issued no bulletins or recall notices. this information is also documented here on your website where i was able to find at least 15 similar complaints filed with nhtsa within just the last 24 months most of which identify the exact same location of failure to be the upper left hand corner of the dash adjacent to the air bag compartment. it seems obvious that gm has no desire to address this issue on their own without being pushed to do so. your attention to this issue would be greatly appreciated by many, many gm owners.
Dashboard is cracked. concerned about safety in the event the airbag deploys. the vehicle has not been in any accidents. no chemical or cleaner has ever been applied to the dash. it looks like a stress crack or manufacturer defect.
Hi i currently own a 2011 chevy tahoe lt model with 78,547 mile on it and the dash is crarcked around the passenger airbag and over the instrument cluster and which i think might comprimise the airbag on deployment which would put my children and passengers at risk of a fatality in the event that an accident occurs and gm should recall this problem its not just mine but most all gm models 07-13 are affected by this and we as the customers are concerned with our passengers safety and would like to get this recalled before something fatal does occur thanks .
Dashboard is cracked in front of the driver. hard plastic knife like structure are exposed to passengers. also cracked on the passenger side airbag area. chevrolet states it is cosmetic. this is potentially a hazard for the occupants.
Dashboard just cracked while driving city street
There is a major crack that appeared on the dashboard at the base of the steering section, closest to the windshield.
I purchased a used tahoe in august 2014 with 42k miles on it. at the time of purchase the dash above the passenger side airbag had a small crack, approx 1.5 inches. since then the crack spread to about 2 inches and i have noticed a crack on the driver side dash as well. the driver side crack started small but extends about 4 inches. everyone i know that owns a tahoe or silverado manufactured in 2009 - 2011 have the same issue. why is this not being repaired at dealer cost? the cracked dash is a serious safety issue should the passenger side airbag deploy. the plastic then becomes projectiles.
I believe this is a safety hazard due to the possibility of an airbag injury.
I noticed about a month ago that my tahoe dashboard was cracked on two spots. *tr
The dash has cracked by the passenger airbag, and on the left side of the instrument cluster. this all began at 46k miles. i have never used any chemicals on the dash, and keep a sunshade in the windshield
Shortly after buying my used tahoe a crack developed near the corner of the passenger airbag, forming a "y" shape which leaves a small, sharp piece of potential shrapnel if the airbag were to deploy. i fear this issue could cause potentially fatal outcomes due to the likelihood of the brittle plastic becoming flying shrapnel in the event of an accident and airbag deployment. this is a well reported and well known issue with all gmt900 vehicles. gm needs to recall these dashboards! *tr
Dashboard cracked in two places like many other 2007-2011 gm. concerned of safety issue if airbags were to deploy.plastic from dash could injure or possibly pierce airbag rendering it useless.
Cracked dashboard. airbag deployment may cause deadly plastic debris flying about.
My 2011 chevy tahoe ltz dashboard fractured completely through the plastic adjacent to the passenger airbag and progressively rattled until it separated. it then cracked in the area in front of the steering wheel and continues to rattle and the crack is getting longer. the area of the dash between these 2 cracks rattles violently when driving on the highway and i am severely concerned about shards of the dash becoming detached in a collision and injuring me or an occupant of my car. i am also concerned that the deployment of the airbag will be compromised and may itself cause the dash to shatter and create sharp projectiles in a collision. this occurred organically over time and was not caused by a single event in time. there are thousands of other trucks with same model dash as mine that all have the same cracks in the same areas. this is an obvious defect that gm has refused to address. i have contacted gm corporate and been sent to the local dealer. i have contacted multiple local dealers that have all stated this is not an issue that gm is addressing even though they have all seen dozens of vehicles with the same issues. my vehicle is otherwise in perfect condition and i am very concerned that this defect will compromise the safety of my family and has lowered the value should i choose to sell the vehicle. i hope that the nhtsa can acknowledge what gm refuses to and force them to replace these faulty dash boards.
Dash around airbag and instrument panel is severely cracked. known manufacturer's defect.
My dash is cracking and breaking around my airbag. this seems like it could be very dangerous in a crash. i'm worried that either the airbag won't deploy as it should or if it does, there will be shards of plastic dash flying around in the cab. nothing happened to the dash, it just started cracking.
I took my tahoe to herndon chevrolet to be detailed. within 24 hrs after the detailing, there was a crack in the dash touching the airbag and to over the steering wheel. *tr
