The dashboard is cracked above the instrument cluster/steering wheel - this poses a safety hazard with the airbags and potential debris in the event of an accident - heard a noise and noticed the crack on 11/9/2018.

A crack formed above the instrument console and over the top right corner of the passanger airbag on the dash. This is a serious concern if the airbag goes off there will be plastic flying all over the place. I see a history of hundrads of complaints over this exact issue.

About 6 months ago, I noticed a crack in the dashboard at the top left corner of the passenger airbag. A few days later, a small crack appeared on the driver's side over the instrument cluster. Within just a few days, that small crack grew approximately 6 inches and is now on the hump over the cluster.

Dash cracked above instrument panel dash cracked at corner of passenger air bag.

While driving @65 mph on a four lane highway, grassy median between the north and south lanes, no other car around me, I heard a loud pop and crash. I thought my car had been shot or a window had been blown out. I saw nothing when I looked around the car. Then I heard wind and realized that my sunroof window had exploded. Scared me to death, luckily my inside sunroof panel was closed so no glass entered the car. I am certain that nothing hit the roof and cracked the window. It exploded on its own. When I stopped, it looked as if the window had bubble up and burst, as you can see in my picture, it looks as if it bubbled up and burst.

The rear seats are "loose" and rattle on bumpy roads. Can't be tightened. Infant car seat is loose using latch system. Dashboard is also cracked in several areas and just keeps getting worse. Wear and tear is accelerating because of these issues.

Cracked dashboard.

The dashboard in front of the driver's seat has developed a crack approximately 2-3 inches in length. The vehicle has never been involved in any type of accident or collision. The crack started about two weeks ago and has slowly increased in length. My concern is if I am in an accident this area might splinter and cause injuries.

The dashboard on this vehicle has cracked. The crack started behind the steering column and is now cracked over the passenger side airbag. Should there be an accident, and the airbag deploys, the possibility of injury from the dashboard is significant. This is a defect in manufacting, and should be repaired at expense of gm.

Dashboard has cracked around the air bag area. I am concerned that if in an accident, this could affect air bag performance or dashboard could come apart easier on impact and cause bodily harm.

The dash is cracking in multiple locations which if the airbags were to deploy could send shards of plastic flying through the passenger compartment creating a safety hazard. This has been occurring for some time but is continuing to get worse, and we have recently noticed that it has broken all the way across one of the dash panels. I have looked online and this appears to be a issue with many Chevrolet vehicles.

Dashboard adjacent to passenger airbag cracked spontaneously while parked at my house. Integrity of dashboard, were the airbag to deploy, is now questionable.

All of the window pillars have broken and/or come loose, dues to a manufacturing problem with the clips used. The roof rack rail also flies up while your driving and smacks the roof because of the faulty clips. I also noticed a water leak on the headliner (see attached picture) after it had rained one day. My Suburban was parked outside and I noticed the leak when I got into the car. My seat belts were also wet from the leak. This seems to be a common occurrence and issue with other 2015 Suburban owners and is a safety hazard, especially if the wiring sits in the water. I had taken it in to a chevy dealer to get it checked out, but I will have to pay to replace everything needed. If these issues are manufacturing errors and such a common occurrence, why should I have to pay to fix them? and more importantly, why is there no recall on them?.

There is a crack in my dashboard around the passenger airbag on my 2013 Suburban ltz. I am concerned that if the airbad was to deploy, pieces of plastic would become flying projectiles. The dash makes an awful rattle and is distracting to driver safety. This needs to be recalled for repair by Chevrolet.

Dash cracking in multiple areas around the airbag creating a flying projectiles hazard even in a minor fender bender if the airbag deploys.

Cracked dash in multiple locations.

Cracked dashboard at information cluster and passenger side airbag. Dashboard crack is bad enough that if the airbag were to engage shards would be launched into cabin thus creating a safety hazard. The condition exists whether moving or stationary.

This 2014 Chevrolet Suburban was purchased by my husband in 2017. Cracks have started at both top corners of the airbag compartment. According to information found on the internet, this is a common occurrence, gm is aware of it but chooses to ignore it. It seems to me, this type of cracking could effect the performance of the airbag or create a more dangerous situation in case of a wreck.

Dashboard cracked in two places. No reason.

The dash has developed 2 cracks similar to that reported by other owners. The first crack is in the upper left corner of the passenger air bag. The second crack is from the lower left of the speaker. If in an accident, dash pieces could break off and become flying projectiles.

The dashboard cap cracked for no reason at the corner of the airbag and above the instrument panel. If the airbag deploys there will be plastic from the dashboard cap blown all over the interior of the cabin during an accident.

Cracked dash next to airbag. Occurred when parked in driveway.

The dash is cracked over the passenger side airbag and in the middle of the dash just above the center speaker.

Large cracks in dash panel in front of steering column and passenger air bags developed over night. Separated section appears to vibrate without support of underlying bracket.

In early 2018, we noticed a very small crack in the dashboard just above the steering column cowling and discussed same with our dealership. We were told they'd called gm and then advised us that we'd need to pay $800 and they'd pick up the rest. Knowing this was not our fault and had to be a defect, we refused and have been trying to get the problem resolved. Since that time, the crack has now run to be several inches long. The defective dashboard is a safety risk. Gm has knowledge of the defective dashboards and has done nothing to resolve the issue. Gm had defrauded their customers with unfair and deceptive conduct and has continued to sell/replace defective products.

2012 chevy Suburban dashboard suddenly cracked at the passenger side airbag. This a serious safety issue and needs to be fixed.

The paint (black) on the roof cracked and turned white like spider webbing. Chevrolet pointed the roof I had to part 65 % and they paid the rest. Now the same thing is happening on the hood. I was told its because of the sun and heat. I don't believe so, because the rest if the vehicle sits in the sun daily and the paint is fine. The vehicle is garage kept at night. I have a 2013 f-150 that sits in the sun all day and in not garage kept and the paint is still like new. There has to be something wrong with the paint or prep job was not done properly.

Dashboard is all cracked around side airbag and may affect deployment. Dash is also cracked at on driver side. Cracks just appeared no accident, regular around town driving.

I'm a owner of a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban and I have been the original owner of this vehicle. My dashboard has two large cracks and the one I'm most concerned about is the one there the front passenger side airbag. I very concerned that this could to lead to a catastrophic injury if the airbag deploys.

Dash is falling apart, full of cracks; chunks of plastic dash have broken off. Potential safety issue if involved in an accident, especially if dash airbag is deployed. Large sharp pieces of dash will break loose and become projectiles/ shrapnel. I believe sunlight and high heat in parked car has caused this. Not caused by an accident. Definitely a design flaw. Should be recalled.

2010 Chevrolet Suburban my dash board inexplicably cracked in several places some around the air bag. After researching, I found thousands have the same problem and are concerned the cheap plastic dash could turn to shrapnel in an accident. I have read people spend hundreds, sometimes thousands to fix the damage only for it to happen again. Gm needs to be held responsible for this poor and cheap design flaw. No one deserves to spend $40k on a vehicle that literally cracks apart in a short time of ownership. If gm really stands behind the quality of their products, then they need to step up and take care of their customers. And while I'm at it all vehicle manufacturers need to stop making such cheap unsafe piece of craps that are constantly being recalled for some reason or another. Nhtsa needs to hold these manufacturers responsible for not only ripping us all off, but also producing such unsafe vehicles. Stand up and grow a backbone NHTSA!.
