36 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2017

"takata recall" I finally got a letter from gm stating my vehicle was under the recall about 9 months ago, it said I would be notified when the replacement air bag was available. I still have not been notified and I recently went to a gm dealer and was told the same thing. In the meantime I feel like my wife is driving around in a time bomb! I think it's about time they got it fixed.

38 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

Takata recall has been an ongoing, unresolvable issue since it began. The dealer has no insight as to when, if ever, it will be fixed. They say to keep watching the NHTSA/gm boards for updates. Other issue is the dashboard & its cracking. I had filed with the NHTSA in 2017 with the original crack that happened by the passenger airbag (your tracking number assigned by NHTSA for this issue is 10939141), but am adding this site now. Additionally, the dash has cracked behind the driver's "pod", connections have let loose for the middle portion of the dash allowing it to flap over bumps & the latest is the new metallic rattle that has begun somewhere behind the instrument cluster/dash area. I haven't had any cracking off of shards, but as the truck was regularly garaged, parked in a parking garage at work, & now in a carport, it's frustrating to have things occur without the blazing sun to contribute. Unlike others, I haven't had major cuts or flying pieces, just small cuts to fingers when I forgetfully am wiping down the dash. I've spoken with the dealership multiple times as things have progressed on the dash & initially they said it was unfortunate & to watch the original one (passenger airbag area), but as there are now more issues with the dash, they say to take it up with gm directly. I haven't started that process yet, but as the airbags & the dash are a never-ending issue, I will make an attempt to start.

39 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2016

The dashboard has cracked over the airbag and if the airbag deploys there will be shards of plastic propelled as shrapnel throughout the car. The crack appeared after using the defrosters on a cold day. There was no impact to the dashboard nor any weight placed on it. It was just a "crack" sound and it appeared.

40 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2016

I noticed that the dash in my 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe ltz is cracked above the air bag on passenger side. I also have read where this is something that is happening to lot of Tahoes , suburbans and yukons etc. This should be unacceptable for the amount of money I and many other people spend on these vehicles . Something should be done about this. My Tahoe stays garage kept out of the sun and this still happened.

Failure Date: 07/16/2016

In 2016 we were notified about a recall on our 2010 chevy Tahoe. The recall was for the takata air bags. We would receive more details on how to fix this and have received nothing to date. I have gone to the dealership a couple times and there is still no fix. They don't even know when that will happen. In meantime, I am taking chances driving our vehicle should a crash happens and airbags deploy.

56 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2016

Takata recall - I received a recall notice over a year ago. I call the dealer on a monthly basis and to date, they still do not have an eta for a fix. My wife is uncomfortable driving her Tahoe and since there is an active recall, our resale value is impacted as well.

57 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/27/2016

Tahoe dash is cracking in two spots. The first is on the corner of the passenger airbag. A very dangerous spot for a jagged edge to be next to an airbag. The 2nd is a much larger crack in the dash that appeared a year later over the instrument hump. I see many cases of Tahoe's and suburban's online with the same problem. When I see another Tahoe in a parker lot, I always check, and 9 out of 10 times they have the same cracks in the same spots. When I called gm they asked me to take it to a dealership to be looked out. The dealership quoted me $500 to fix. It's time for Chevrolet to acknowledge that they messed up and take responsibility.

Cracked dash could affect the safety of the airbags.

59 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2016

60 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2016

Three large (and growing) cracks in my dashboard. One around the housing of the airbag. The other two are above the steering wheel. Very concerned that if air bag deploys, dash material from broken piece may become a projectile or puncture the airbag not allowing it to work. I see gm says it is a know design defect but there is no recall. Chevrolet dealer told me it is #1 repaired item on Tahoe.

61 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2016

Purchased vehicle in October 2015. Did not see a crack at time of purchase. Was wiping down the dash one day and noticed a small crack up the center of the steering column. That was mid January. Has now cracked from the middle above the steering column across the dash to the left side corner of the air bag compartment. Dash is unstable. Concerned it will cause airbag to go off prematurely. If in an accident and the airbag were to deploy could send pieces into passengers like shrapnel.

62 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2016

Cracked dashboard. This is a common issue gm fails to acknowledge. The danger is the plastic shattering if the airbag deploys and because of the material defect in the plastic, large sharp shards can be shot into the cabin area if airbag deploys (shrapnel).

63 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2016

The dashboard has developed cracks that will become flying shards of hard plastic if the airbag deploys.

Failure Date: 10/01/2015

Dash has cracked in two places. One connecting to the air bag and one over the steering wheel. I noticed it about 6-8 months ago (October 2015) and attempted to glue it. . . It is just getting worse and the crack over the steering will is growing.

67 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/17/2015

My vehicle has developed two cracks in the dash one by the instrument panel and one at the left upper corner of the passenger airbag. This is a safety hazard as it may affect the deployment of the airbag. This vehicle has been garage kept since I bought it in 2012 and it has 83,000 miles on it. Gm is refusing to take responsibility and replace this manufacturer defect.

69 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2015

My dash is cracked in 4 different places. One crack extends to the airbag and I am afraid if the airbag were to deploy pieces of the dash would break off and potentially hit someone. It is also very annoying because it rattles constantly.

70 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2015

Driving along one day at 45 mph and the dashboard just cracked. Mine has cracked over the instrument panel. I have a friend who has the same crack as well as a crack over the air bag on the passenger side. The cracked dash is a known problem that needs to be corrected, I am also concerned what may happen if the air bag goes off with what is obviously a brittle dash.
