2009 Tahoe has a cracked dashboard it's very enjoying sometimes can cause a distraction from little bumps in the road making loud noises and makes a car's interior look horrible it's ridiculous that gm won't replace these under the lemon law it was just sitting in the garage when it happened to crack.
Dahsboard cracked and smelled smoke now hear clicking noise in the dash think that its related to air flow heat / air cond.
Cracked dashboard.
Dashboard cracks above the airbag area and above the instrument cowling. The crack has slowly been increasing and now it is so bad that it will have to be replaced. This is a manufacturer's defect possibly from over-tightening bolts.
Cracked dashboard. Hazzard faulty installation and materials.
The dash on the vehicle has cracked at the passenger air bag cover. Also cracked above the speedometer. Concern is there may be humidity ingress to the airbag, the electronics or sub assemblies increasing the risk for an airbag deployment anomaly. Another concern is plastic or metal from the dash could also impact the airbag (deflation) or present injury to the occupants (flying parts). A lesser concern is the sensors for the automated ac/heating systems in the car. Believing they are calibrated with sealed intact components. The larger split at the speedometer has only recently happened which makes this a concern that there are larger more underpinning issues not fully realized.
Dash panel is cracked in two separate places.
Front dashboard has two cracks. This is not due to sun damage or negligence. This is a product failure.
Dashboard cracked in several places.
Dash has cracked in two places. Above instrument cluster and at the passenger airbag.
Dash continues to crack. Worried about integrity of dash in the event of accident due to placement of the passenger airbag. Gm just recalled passenger airbag due to �shrapnel� which could also be part of the dash exploding. Furthermore, only option is to add a �glue on� cover to build quality to oem, but has possibility to cover passenger air bag or make recall of airbag not possible (or other repairs possible). Gm should offer dash replacement as a recall along with passenger airbag.
Takata recall-the car was in motion when I noticed the dash cracked. It's cracked in three different sections, I noticed the same issue on other Tahoe's and yukon.

The dash around the airbag is cracked. Tahoe had 45k on it when it started to crack.
Cracked dash. The dash has cracked at the passenger side airbag. If airbag deployed, the dash would probably turn to shrapnel.

Cracked dash. Crack on the passenger side at the edge of the passenger airbag. Larger crack on the driver side on the left hand side of the instrument panel. This has happened over time and the cracks have gotten larger. Since I have to select a date, simply putting todays date. . .
My 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe dash is cracking which started at the passenger airbag. Now the cracks are on the driver side. There is also one area where the cracks have come together and can easily expose the trucks components under the dash which could include electrical components. I do not place items on my dash nor do I use any chemicals on the dash it just began to crack.
Dash cracked above instrument panel while parked overnight in my driveway. Was not compromised prior to cracking.
Dashboard has cracked near the passenger side airbag and driver side near the defrost vent- no accident. Simply sitting in the driveway of our home. The check engine light came on and when it was hooked up to the diagnostic computer system it stated it was bc of the fuel system control module which is already under recall.
Cracks forming on dashboard panel, presents the hazard of plastic debris either deflating the air bag upon it's inflation or debris flying into the faces of passengers. Transmission dipstick tube is also cracked which allows water to get into the transmission, this was recalled for 2008 Tahoe's but not 2009.
I purchased a 2009 chevy Tahoe used and a knew about the cracking dashes so I made sure the one I purchased didn't have any cracks. I thought maybe they had resolved the issue. Well, after filling up with gas the other day I looked over ad noticed and crack in my dash right at the airbag. This is very concerning as I have 3 kids that ride in that car and if the airbag goes off I'm afraid the plastic will act like shrapnel and really hurt someone. Gm knows about this and I contacted them about it and they are not willing to do anything about it. More people need to come forward on this matter and gm needs to address it fast before someone gets killed.
Dash has a 7 inch crack above the instrument panel this is a problem with a lot of 2009 Tahoe and I think this should be a recall.
I still have not been able to get my airbag replace. They say they do not have an airbag yet. I have been trying since July 2016. Plus my dash cracked near the airbag.
The dashboard in the Tahoe has cracked. The crack just showed up overnight. We went out one morning to go somewhere and the crack was there.
Dashboard is cracked where the passenger airbag is located.
Dashboard has cracked in three places. One in corner surrounding passenger air bag. Could lead to improper airbag deployment. Others around "hump" corners above instrument cluster. Very common issue from what I have read. Vehicle garage kept. Cracks occur in same location on hundreds of Chevrolet vehicles.
Dash cracked in several places. Gm refuse to repair.
There is a large crack in the dashboard running parallel with the front windshield of the car. It extends from driver side to passenger side up to the airbag on the passenger side. It also splits in two separate areas off the horizontal crack. One about 2 inches perpendicular to the large crack near the driver side and another perpendicular crack closer to the passenger side that extends 1-2 inches away from the larger crack. My car has been stored in the garage from day one. I did not notice how long ago this crack began.
I bought the 2009 used chevy Tahoe on August 1st 2015. I began to notice the plastic dashboard close to the passenger airbag began to crack and vibrate. The vibration got so bad that the crack spread and a new crack appeared on the plastic dash above the speedometer. Both cracks make the entire dash rattle when the car is driven over 45 mph. I am worried that if the airbags were to deploy, the plastic will fly into the passengers in the vehicle. I've tried contact covert GMC in austin, TX where I bought the vehicle and they said I had to spend $1300 to replace this defect.
