Problems with 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe STRUCTURE

Approximately 6 months ago the dash on the passenger side started to crack in my 2012 chevy tahoe. it has always been in a heated garage and out of the sunlight. on december 1, 2015 is the date i purchased the vehicle and the dealer talked me into putting a nano technology coating on the entire vehicle to keep it in like new condition, which cost me $899. i took it to the dealership and showed them and they were going to let me know if abra would fix it, however, after 2 months still no response from the dealership and i contacted them again yesterday. the other thing is the driver side door handle has cracked underneath and so when you close the door it feels like you are going to pull the door vinyl right off. i have never had anything like this happen before.

This week the temperature fluctuated drastically. my tahoe was in the garage for 2 solid days. i pulled it out the next two days and drove to work like any normal day but the temperatures were cold in the mornings and warmed up through the day. today we pulled the tahoe out of the garage, got in to go to church and noticed that the dash had cracked in the upper corner of the airbag compartment towards the air vent. i am very concerned that should i be in an accident and the airbag deploy, that shards of plastic would break and be impelled through the vehicle possible harming my family.

Cracking dash board, passenger side above air bag on upper left side. noticed it was cracked after making several trips in vehicle.

Cracked dash near airbag. cracks appearing along dashboard. if airbag deploys, sharp plastic shards will be propelled at high speeds.

Multiple cracks in dash. purchased this vehicle used with cracks already present. one crack grew and opened into a hole in front of steering wheel.

Cracked dashboard. please help, my dashboard is cracked in the middle corner by the passenger airbag. i put the screen up in my windshield when the car is parked in order to protect it from the sun and then one day while i was driving i heard a pop and the dash had a big crack all the way through it. *tr

Dash crack.as i was cleaning the vehicle i noticed that a crack had formed on the passenger side right above the airbag

Vehicle was stationary and i noticed a crack in the dash board right on the passenger side air bag. thru some research i came across a pending class action lawsuit for this issue affecting thousands of gm customers. this vehicle has only 35,000 miles on it.

2 cracks around front passenger side airbag dash board. happened within the past month.

My dash board is cracked in two locations, one above the passenger seat airbag. i am concerned that it will cause injury if the air bag is inflated. the vehicle is in excellent condition and has been in no accidents. the dashboard material is defective and has failed.

Rear door are not draining. the drain holes are plugged due to the outside. the rear doors fill up with water.

The dashboard on the driver's side above the odometer has cracked, as well as the dashboard on the passenger's side on left hand corner of the airbag. the vehicle is well taken care of and never taken off road. i noticed the cracks when i got into my vehicle one morning. the cracks just seemed to appear overnight.

The dashboard has cracked right beside the airbag. this is a safety hazard in my eyes.

Two cracks in the dashboard, one major crack above the instrument panel and the other with the passenger airbag. vehicle only has 42k miles on it and has been meticulously taken care of. larger crack above instrument panel is spreading, can hear it cracking when driving or staring up the car.

One morning i came out to find a 1/4 inch crack in the dashboard in front of the instrument panel. after a couple days it grew to about an inch. i keep the truck in showroom condition and am shocked to find how common this is on $64,000 trucks within 1-3 years of ownership. it's unacceptable. my 1998 tahoe interior was perfect and it had 300,000 miles. the crack appeared overnight.

There is a large crack in dashboard above the steering wheel. the vehicle is garage kept and we have found this is a common problem with our model. we feel that in a collision the dash could splinter and sharp edges could cause injuries to driver and passengers. the manufacturer believes this would not happen. however, how can they account for an infinite number of variables in an accident? we were offered a discount for a repair at the dealership, yet the amount was still near $600. it is a safety issue and we shouldn't incur any costs!

Dash is cracked over instrument panel, and 2 spots over the passenger side airbag. the cracks get bigger everyday and makes the dash rattle. bought in 2016 and the cracks just keep getting worse. along with the drivers side door handle that cracked inside.

Dash board on drive and passengerside are crack

While turning left (tahoe) with a protected green arrow at an x-shaped intersection, vehicle (kia sedan) at fault failed to yield and entered the intersection at speeds upwards of 40 mph from the left of the tahoe. front-impact collision occurred; due to the shape of the intersection and the velocity of the impact, tahoe struck passenger side of kia sedan. trajectory of impact caused directional changes in upwards of 90* for both vehicles; the force of the primary accident described above also caused mentioned vehicles to collide with left rear of another vehicle (honda sedan), causing near 360* rotation of the honda sedan. due to the force of impact, front & side airbags deployed on both the kia sedan and the honda sedan, but failed to deploy on the tahoe. scene indicated that the kia sedan made no attempt to brake or decrease speed prior to collision; posted speed limit at intersection is 40 mph. force was such that after the collision, tahoe transmission was in drive, but remained at a complete stop. damage sustained on the tahoe include front-end body damage, engine damage (vehicle required towing and was inoperable), and frame damage, at a minimum. in addition, engine service lights as well as onstar vehicle diagnostic reports indicate that the airbag system, antilock braking system, and the stabilitrak stability control system also sustained damage and require attention. multiple first-responders commented on the oddity that, given the damage sustained by the tahoe and the velocity at impact, the airbags deployed on all vehicles but the tahoe. *tr
