42 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 11/07/2014

The dashboard is cracked and looks very unappealing. There is also a safety concern, if the air bags were ever to deploy I fear that the cracked plastic would disintegrate and cause serious injury.

43 Dashboard Crack problem

45 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2014

My dash board is cracked over the instrument cluster, and around the passenger air bag. The instrument panel crack appeared right at 42,000 miles, and the passenger air bag crack happened at 51,000 miles. My chevy dealer says it is "cosmetic" so they will not cover any of the repairs, even though I am still under the "certified pre-owned" warranty. But it's going to be more than cosmetic if that air bag ever goes off. It is going to send plastic shrapnel every where. The dealer quoted me $900 to replace the dash, and says they would be putting the same dash back in, so it would more than likely just crack again. I am on a face book page (gm yukon and Tahoe cracked dash) with 576 members that have the exact same problem. Something needs to be done about this.

46 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2014

Dash is starting to crack on passenger side (left front area of airbag). This SUV is a 2010 chevy Tahoe LS. Vehicle has around 71k miles. Wanted to check transmission level, but transmission dip stick and tube come together off from transmission. Checked under SUV, found transmission tube popped out. The bracket that holds transmission tube is broken. I was able to pop transmission tube back in. Also left rear and tight front inner chrome door handle are starting to peel off. Plan to take to chevy dealer, to see what they can do about this concerns.

47 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 08/30/2013

As I was riding down the interstate I heard a load pop or cracking sound. I looked around the vehicle and couldn't find where it came from. When I got home I inspected it a bit further and found that the dash had cracked right above the instrument panel on the drivers side. I couldn't believe my eyes. A few weeks later the same sound occurred and I noticed a crack by the passenger side airbag. Although it wasn't big I was concerned. Just a few days after that. . . . Another pop. The crack on the passenger side had extended in length. I have tried to contact Chevrolet regarding the issue but there is always a long hold time. The reason that this concerns me now is that in November I was t-boned at an intersection and pushed into a curb on the passenger side and much to my surprise the air bad did not deploy. Now I wonder if it has malfunctioned and if the crack was the cause. Considering the age, the number of complaints on various websites and the fact that we take very good care of our $30,000 investment you would think that chevy would step up and take responsibility for a faulty/defective product.

48 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 02/16/2013

My dash board is cracked in multiple places. I am concerned that this could affect my safety, as well as the safety of my passengers, should the airbag deploy. There is no reason that the dash board should have cracked.

49 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2013

In 2013 I noticed small cracks on the dash around the top corners of the passenger airbag. Since then, I will hear random "popping" sounds as new cracks develop on the dash above the instrument panel. There's about 3 inches left before the entire thing cracks open. There's a semi-circle piece now missing from the dash because the crack opened up entirely and the piece is now rattling somewhere in the dash. . . After a particularly loud crack, I noticed the passenger airbag light will intermittently come on. This is the light that says whether it's "on or off. " most of the time it will not come on, even with a person clearly sitting in the passenger seat. I'm afraid the airbag will either fail to deploy or randomly deploy. . .

50 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2013

The dashboard is cracking in several places. One location is right above the instrument cluster. The other is around the passenger side airbag. This is a safety hazard as an airbag deployment could result in plastic breaking free and become flying projectiles within the cabin. Like many other vehicles with this same issue, the vehicle is well maintained, garage kept, and in good working order. The way that gm designed the dashboards and the materials used for the dashboards are the reason for this issue.
