Dashboard Crack problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Suburban

Interior dash board is cracking near air bag, several places on vehicle.

The dash board is cracked around the airbag posing a hazard if deployed.

The dashboard is cracking above the steering wheel and also on the passenger side near the airbag.

Dash spontaneously cracked at the airbag panel and over the instrument panel in 2011 Suburban with 39,000 miles. Garage stored. I have concern about the airbag deployment safety with this crack. A search on-lne reveals this is a very big problem for many chevy and gm Suburban/tahoe owners.

There is a recall with takata airbag and Chevrolet has not furnished a replace the part or fix in a timely manner. Second issue is with dashboard cracking. My Suburban sits under our carport 99% of the time, but yet has a few cracks on the dash. Third issue is corrosion in the undercarriage, and I live in deep south texas where it does not snow, and the beach is 1. 5 hours away from where I live. This vehicle sits on just over 40k miles.

Dash board cracking in multiple places. According to dealer problem noted many of the vehicles from 2008 to 2014 SUV's. Gm. Repaired few vehicles with 200 dollar deductible.

Cracked dashboard adjacent to airbag. This could cause a hazard when/if airbag is deployed.

Dash cover cracks present a potential safety hazard in the event of crash/collision with or without airbag deployment due to sharp flying debris. Dash is constructed of hard plastic that fractures in normal use/wear which results sharp and potentially dangerous projectiles.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked on the driver and passenger sides where the air bags were located. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Major crack has occurred in the top of the dash board from near the windshield to the top of the instrument cluster. Dash has cracked completely through making the plastic loose. Concern with the dashboard if the airbag deploys.

Cracked dashboard on the passenger side close to the airbag.

The dashboard on my 2011 Suburban cracked above the instrument cluster while my wife was standing at a red light. Thousands of people on a specific facebook page( 07-13 cracked dash safety hazard for all trucks) from across America are experiencing the same problem on there gm SUV from 2007-2013 and no recall has been put out by gm. The dealers want between 1100 to 1600 dollars for the repair. Gm has stated it is heat related but it is from inferior material they used to make these dash boards. If it was heat related every car in the world would have cracked dashboards.

My 2011 Chevrolet Suburban with about 85,000 miles on it has recently developed cracks in the dash. One at the rear left corner of the passenger-side airbag section, and another behind the instrument cluster on the driver side. The car is in immaculate condition other than the dash. Its an eye-sore to see these cracks every day. Had these cracks been there a year ago when we bought the car, we probably would not have bought it. Its sad to see that this is a systemic problem on all vehicles of this make/model/year range.

Very concerned that the cracks on the dashboard started around the passenger airbag and now have spread all the way across to the dial area. From what I have read it seems this is a happening to a lot of the gm/chevy vehicles and is a problem gm should really issue a recall to fix. Are they waiting for someone to die when a airbag deploys and the sharp plastic the cracks are making immediately deflates the airbag and it is useless? step-up gm and issue the recall and fix the problem before it is too late and someone dies.

The dashboard is cracking and can be potentially dangerous if the airbag deploys. If the airbag deploys the cracked dash could become multiple projectile missles.

In addition, the passenger side air bag seam was cracked. The vehicle was taken to two different dealers who stated that the entire dashboard would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

Dashboard cracked while parked and these cracks have spread to become very large over short period of time. Large crack is above instrument panel and another is near passenger airbag. The dashboard is unstable between these two points and this could be potential safety hazard as dash could crack or splinter if airbag deployed causing injury to the passengers. Dashboard has been protected in garage or with sun deflector during ownership so dashboard cracks would be defect vs. Element related.
