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.
There is a crack in the airbag area of the dashboard. I reported this to gm in March 2016 and they refuse to correct the issue. Today, there is a new crack on the dashboard near the drivers side now. This is a known issue with these cars. The same thing happened to my 2007 chevy avalanche, and in 2010, gm replaced it without any issues. Now with the Tahoe, they refuse. The vehicle is parked under a garage awning and we never use anything but a dry rag to clean the dashboards. This is no fault of ours, and appears to be a known issue with chevy manufacturing.
My dash has 2 cracks that have appeared under normal driving conditions. The dash is starting to bounce as I drive and im worried it will become separated and hit someone in the truck. There are so many Tahoe owners who have this same problem, it is obvious that it is a defective part. I have a crack in the center and 1 over the driver side gauges.
The dashboard cracked in several places although this car has always garaged and the sun shield used consistently. I am concerned about this affecting safety through airbag performance or sharp pieces of dash flying during an accident.

The dash board is cracked in three different spots and one is right at the passenger air bag. The dealership will not fix cause it's not under warranty. I feel like this is a safety hazard and gm needs to fix this issue.

I have two cracks in my dash board right by where my air bags are. One is on the passenger side and the other is on the driver side.
