Carrier/rack problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe - part 1

Dash board cracks on the passages side beside the airbag cover. Also cracks on the driver side from near the windshield running toward the odometer area. Cracks appeared over time that I owned the vehicle.

Dash cracked in two places, driver and passenger side. Concerned more about passenger side due to air bag. The vehicle is not my everyday vehicle with very low mileage and kept inside its whole life in an well insulated fully covered garage.

Tahoe middle seat belt buckles have all come apart. I contacted local chevy dealer and they said it's not safe to drive uh no t?! once again cracks on dashboard by passenger airbags and all over ridiculous! middle console started to smoke on 4/2018 and I have to have everything disconnected. I contacted dealer and they said to file complaints with y�all.

I have been the only owner of my 2008 chevy Tahoe, my dash has cracked twice and replaced, now my dash is cracked again. This is obviously an issue with this specific vehicle as I am among thousands that are having the exact same issue. I do not have warranty any longer and neither gm nor the dealership will fix this issue for free. This is wrong and not a good way to conduct business if gm is expecting those same people to purchase another vehicle for them as they obviously do not stand behind their product. A cracked dash is not a wear and tear issue and simply should not happen. It shows the vehicle was made with the cheapest of products. It is also something that could potentially be a safety hazard as the dash sits over air bags, so if an accident shall occur and the air bags deploy could cause more harm to the drivers. I am appalled that no one will fix this issue since it has happened multiple times. I am very upset at the customer service by dealerships and gm altogether.

The dash is cracked above the drivers instrument panel and looks as if it is separating along the seam down to the passenger airbag. There is also a crack at the passenger side airbag. Very concerned about unnecessary airbag deployment. I am uncertain of the exact date so I put when I noticed it in the date line.

I bought the car a year a go, I started to notice some cracks ok the top dashboard, by the instrument cluster, I big crack by the top air bag system. The cracks are getting bigger, im afraid this is not safe in case of traffic accident.

My dash has cracked without any force being applied to it due to cheap material used in manufacturing item. It is a safety issue which may cause parts of dash to propel to driver and passenger causing injuries.

The dash around the passenger air bag has cracked and continues to spread. I fear this may be a safety issue in the event of airbag deployment with pieces of the dash becoming shapnel.

Dash cracking in multiple locations. Recently pieces began falling out around passengers side airbag. This is a safety hazard. If accident occurred pieces could become projectile objects. Over 10,500 signatures on change. Org and still no results to solve the issues.

My concern whit this vehicle is the dash is cracking on pises is be reading a lot about this problem and Tahoe sierra and yukon's . All GMC vehicles I think this should be a safety this pises can fly when the vehicle is on the move and cause accidents. . .

My dash is cracked on the driver's side over the stirring wheel. I have noticed that there are several other complaints about the same issue. Thanks in advance.

Takata recall: on 11/14/2017 I learned that I can not sell or trade my 2098 chevy Tahoe due to this recall. Furthermore gm district manager told me there is no fix and I will be stuck with my vehicle until a solution is found. Therefor I will loose money on the value of my vehicle. I would also like to bring to your attention that gm has faulty dashboards that crack, especially in 2008 chevy Tahoe. Gm has acknowledged this flaw but it's not a recall because no one has been injured or killed yet due to the defective dashboards. I found online a news reporter named andy wise who invested this case and has all proofs as he can not report a news investigation without attorney review. He was able to get his client a free dashboard replaced. I went to my local dealership and played the video for the a service manager and he contacted the district manager. Gm alreadyvhas an open car claim for my vehicle. I received a phone call from the district service manager tonight who claims he is giving me a gift by paying for 50% of the repair cost. I shouldn't have to pay a dime. You should have many reports on file about crack gm or chevy dashboards. It was tonight I learned I can't even do a thing u til mybairbag recall is resolved and until that time I am stuck with a vehicle losing depreciation value every day. Please investigate and help us all out.

The dashboard on my 2008 Tahoe is cracked and has become an issue because the cracks have made it to my passenger airbag and I am worried about my safety in case of an accident . I wouldn't want plastic flying everywhere and potentially kill someone.

Dashed is cracked on passenger side near passenger side air bag cover under windshield and the dealership will not cover this safety issue.

We bought a 2008 chevy Tahoe & the dash is cracked near the airbag like many others & a brand new crack has happened above the cluster area. We also purchased the warranty when we bought it but gm will not cover it.

Shortly after my 2008 warranty expired I noticed that the interior dashboard began cracking in various places and I called my dealership where I purchased the vehicle but they couldn't do anything. I have had to replace many of the parts in this vehicle several times and they are not cheap parts. After my last part episode, I decided to look up a common theme online; only to discover there are many other customers that have the same issues that I am having. However, the cracked dashboard is more serious because it houses the defected takata airbag that is supposed to be replaced. However, no one has contacted me on replacing that issue either. The dash board first cracked in July 2011 and another cracked occurred in July 2017. I use a dash cover to protect my vehicle from heat; however, nothing seem to stop the dash from cracking and the interior parts from falling a part.

Cracks can grow and turn into large holes that exposing the mechanical and electronic parts underneath.

Dashboard cracked above instrument panel. Vehicle was in motion on a neighborhood street. Heard popping noise that startled me while driving. Upon inspection discovered new crack in dash which was not cracked prior. We do not use cleaning solutions in our Tahoe due to our daughter having respiratory issues. We only wipe with cloths. This could not have been caused by cleaning solutions due to that.

Cracked dash board by driver and passenger airbag.

I have cracks all over my dashboard that just appeared. I contacted gm and they advised me that this is a common problem and they will not assist me.

Dashboard is cracking near the passenger side airbags. Is this safe and will not cause any malfunction to the correct operation of the airbags? kindly do the needful to check on this issue. Thanks.

My 2008 chevy Tahoe developed 2 cracks in the dashboard and will interfere with the airbag deployment. Creating a safety hazard and possibly endangering my passengers.

Cracked dashboard in 2 places. This could lead to air bag safety issues.

I noticed that on my Tahoe my dashboard started cracking on both sides. So I did a little research and it was happening with many other Tahoe silverado and gm cars where the dash started cracking. I don't find it fair that we all have the same problem and that gm doesn't pay for it because it clearly shows that it's the product they put in our cars were cheap quality to where all of us buyers have the same problem and have to pay for it. Therefore I feel that they should have a recall and take care of what they messed up with also it is a hazard because anything on your car that isn't met to the basic standards may be entitled to a law suit so I think we need a recall and thats all I have to say becuase I don't feel safe driving my car with cracked parts that can fly into anyones eye with the window open. That is all I have to say s just please give us the recall and make us consumers happy it would be much appreciated.

The dashboard is starting to form cracks through out and around the passenger airbag.

I already have a potential air bag recall #49152 that has not been resolved. Additionally, I have had a cracked dashboard that cost 1,500. 00 to repair, which I can't afford. My power folding mirrors have stopped working numerous times and now can not be fixed under warranty anymore. My radio had to be completely replaced. My vehicle has 29,550, and is a piece of junk. The roof is rusting out. G. M. Went bankrupt in 2008, which stopped the lease process. I got stuck with this vehicle and have been fearful of driving it. The low mileage reflects it. When will you as a government agency intercede and tell gm to make good on there defective products. No one cares, except the people that get rich selling these garbage vehicles!!! what are you waiting for someone to get a piece of cracked dashboard in there eye or worse, die in an accident caused by plastic flying into the drivers face. There are tons of complaints!!! just google it and watch the different news channels coverage of this massive defect. Total disrespect of the customers/owners on from general motors. Maybe next time they shouldn't get a government bailout, from my6 hard earned tax dollars!!!!.

Dashboard has severely cracked in two places; one at the passenger side airbag and one over the instrument cluster in front of the driver.

The dash has severely cracked in numerous places including near the passenger air bag which I fear could create shrapnel if involved in a collision and the airbag inflates. This has gradually worsened over time.

Dashboard has cracked adjacent to corner of passenger side airbag panel and along top of driver side instrument cluster panel. Cracks were noticed upon entering vehicle after it being parked in front of home overnight. The cracked dashboard is a safety concern in that shards of the plastic may break off during an accident and/or during deployment of the airbags, impaling the passengers.

Cracks on dashboard be lived to be faulty material or craftsmanship. Fear of accident and the airbag inflation causing dashboard fragments injuring front seat occupants.
