Dashboard Crack problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe

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 panel has cracked over the drivers side instrument panel and above the passenger airbag area. This can cause potential safety issues if the airbags were to deploy or possibility of things getting in through the crack to damage the electronics underneath.

Takata recall. Airbag light going on and off constantly. Also dashboard cracking all over and pieces coming out which can be dangerous in an accident!.

Two dashboard cracks on 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1 of which is directly going to passenger side airbag compartment. If this airbag is to be deployed, it will send the pieces of this dash flying throughout the vehicle. This is a well known issue and there are thousands of these identical cracks on these generation vehicles with no support from gm. This is a safety issue and needs to be recalled.

The dashboard is cracking all over, and there is even a hole where it cracked so bad that a piece fell off. I believe this is a common defect and that the manufacturer should be responsible for this.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). The part to do the repair was unavailable.

Dashboard cracked on instrument panel and by passenger airbag causing a terrible rattle.

Crack on dashboard near passenger airbag may cause damage to airbag during deployment or pieces of dash to contact passenger during deployment.

Multiple dash cracks around steering column and more concernedly around passenger air bag. This is separate from the airbag recall that currently exists. The dash being cracked around this particular point would cause vinyl shrapnel to be sent throughout the cabin of the vehicle presenting a serious safety hazard. This is the only place on the vehicle these cracks are happening even though much of the interior is finished with this same type of vinyl.

Dashboard has crack 6 inches long above instrument panel occured while vehicle was parked taken out of service with refective sunvisor in window.

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.

The dashboard is cracking in multiple places.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact noticed cracks on the dashboard towards the front passenger side near the air bag components and cracks on the driver side near the gauges. The dealer and manufacturer stated that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The manufacturer provided no repair solution other than stating to take the vehicle to the dealer for repair. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 113,000.

Dash cracked while stationary. Very common. Potential to become projectile during accident.

There is a crack in the dash that extends from the passenger side airbag area. I am concerned with the fact that if the airbag were to deploy it could propel plastic material into the cabin and at the passengers.

The dash board o the vehicle is cracking all around the takata recall airbags. The cracks are spidering across the dash, there are so may complaints with this dash board cracking and it is a safety issue if the airbags go off the dash board is likely to shatter and potentially be a projectile causing injury or death. This should be invesitigated and be a recall. You will find thousands of vehicle have this problem, gm is aware and its all over facebook and online. Just google Tahoe cracked dashboard and look for yourself. Thank you for investigating this matter.

My dashboard recently cracked on its own in several locations including around the passenger side airbag and in front of the drivers console. It seems as if this is some sort of defect in the manufacturing process. It split all the way through. My main concern is the pieces next to the airbag may become projectiles if the airbags were to ever be deployed. Gm and Chevrolet dealerships refuse to address the issue after numerous complaints.

2008 chevy Tahoe cost in 2008 , $35,000. Current mileage 68k, dash cracked at passenger airbag at 38k mileage while taking a family trip and same thing happen at 44k the dash board on drive has now crack as well I made a huge investment when I made choise to buy chevy now is looking like I made a mistake. I will be buying Ford products from here on out. Shame on you Chevrolet!! you should stand behind your products. And to think I was in process of maybe getting a newers model.

Dashboard is cracking around the airbag and on top of the odometer/ speed and is a safety issue if passenger side airbag goes off. Potential for it to shoot plastic shrapnel into cabin and it's occupants. I have children and I feel unsecured riding my truck.

Dash has cracked in multiple places. First crack is on right side of dash, top left of the air bag panel. Second crack is on left side of dash over the instrument panel. Most people don't think about a cracked dash being dangerous. However, if the airbags are deployed, fragments could become projectiles that can harm passengers. Chevrolet/gm needs to make this right.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving at 25 mph, the contact noticed that there were multiple cracks on the dashboard where the air bags were located. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.

Dashboard cracking in several different places, even beside passenger airbag.

Dashboard has 3 large cracks. Started as a small stress crack then spread throughout the dash. This is a known problem with the 08-14 gm vehicles ( Tahoe, suburban, avalanche) this happened as the car was stationary. This is very unsafe as the crack can spread and/or break during driving, gm needs to address this major concern.

Dashboard has cracked adjacent to corner of passenger side airbag panel and along top of driver side instrument cluster panel. Cracked dash continues to expand. 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. The sad part of this is that I had to replace all the exterior door handles also because they all broke off from the cheap plastic clip that holds the handle in place - no recall on that either. This is inexcusable when you look at the cost of the ltz vehicles. Both of these defects are safety issues - mishandling of aibags when deployed and someone able to enter your vehicle through a broken handle!!!!!!!.

Dashboard has substantial cracks at and around passenger air bag. Cracks have subsequently appeared on the dash above the steering wheel. May be associated with inadvertent deployment of air bag causing bodily harm to passenger.

The dashboard is cracked on the drivers side above the instrument panel about 6-8 inches long. It is also has 3 other cracks on the passenger side airbag on the dashboard, the cracks are in the top two corners. These cracks just started appearing and around the date mentioned above is when we noticed the cracks. I know this is an ongoing issue with many of these vehicles and it is a safety concern when it is on the airbag. If there is a wreck, who is to say pieces wont be flung up into my family and hurt or possible kill them.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the dashboard cracked in multiple areas. The cracks extended from the driver side defrost vent to the instrument panel and from the passenger side defrost vent to the corner of the passenger side air bag cover. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 100,000.

There is a very large cracked area on the dashboard on the drivers side near the speedometer area. My concern is that this may some how deploy the air bag or other mechnical instruments in this area.

Dashboard cracked in several places above airbags creating very sharp, jagged edges. This poses a major safety concern as the exposed sharp plastic edges can and have cut fingers and could also damage the airbag in the event of a crash.
