The dash cracked overnight. There are now two big cracks in the dash of the vehicle, one on passenger side just above the airbag and another on the driver side, just to left of center above the main gauge cluster. I have read online that this is a known issue by general motors for the 2013 Avalanche, as well as other models from that year and the few years previous. This vehicle is kept in the garage, has never been off road or been wrecked in any way. The dash itself is only wiped down with a damp cloth when truck is washed, and never has chemicals used on it. When the truck is not in the garage, a sun visor shield is placed in the front window at all times. This is a big safety issue, due to the fact that is compromises the integrity of the air bag and also can allow for flying debris in the case of an accident.
Dashboard is cracked from the airbag over to dome part over gauges. Crack keeps getting longer. Lots of vibration.

Multiple cracks in dash (instrument panel). Had one crack when purchased the Avalanche used. 2nd crack appeared one month ago. First one is the front left corner of the airbag. 2nd one is over the gauge cluster.
I have had my Chevrolet Avalanche dashboard repaired twice for cracking/rattling. The issue seems to be that the clasp underneath the center speaker of the dash is faulty and breaks easily. This causes the rattling which causes the cracking. The cracks appear right above the instrument gauge and the passenger airbag. The concern is that if cracked badly enough, it could send pieces of plastic everywhere in the case of an airbag deployment. Gm will not fix the issue.
Bought used in the beginning of September 2015 and a month later noticed two cracks in my dashboard (one by the passenger side air bag and the other over the gauge cluster). In November I contacted Chevrolet customer service after reading many have had similar problems and they had a dealership look at it at their expense but told me it would take over $1,000 to repair. I feel that if this is a common problem, gm should be responsible for because if I were to get in an accident the dashboard can become pieces of shrapnel and interfere with the airbag deployment.

My dash started cracking around the airbag and above the gauge cluster. Numerous other owners have had identical cracks which we believe could cause shrapnel in case of air bag deployment.
The dashboard on my truck has developed two cracks, one is in the hump over the instrument gauges on the drivers side and the other is on the corner of the cut out for the passenger air bag.
I bought my vehicle in may of 2012 with about 85,000 miles on it. At the time there was two small cracks in the dashboard, (1) starting from the front edge of the dashboard going around the rounded area covering/above the gauges, and (1) smaller crack going from the corner of the airbag-rectangle to the front edge of the dashboard. The cracks have continued to grow and have become a problem that will require them to be fixed/replaced/covered.
First incident of speedometer intermittently working occurred in September 2005. Was taken to dealer, and quoted to fix but was not covered under warranty. Other cluster gauges began failing completely over the past few years. Finally the voltmeter gauge completely fails this year. Entire cluster is completely inoperative now.
