Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe

My 2010 chevy Tahoe has developed a crack in the upper dash area between the passenger side air bag and the defrost outlet. There was no outside influence that caused the crack and I'm very concerned that this is a safety issue in the event of an accident.

Dashboard has been cracking around passenger side airbag area, concerning me that if god forbid an accident happened and the airbag was deployed on passenger side, shards of this cracked dashboard could be dispersed into the area, causing possible laceration or fatal harm to passenger and driver. When investigating, I found this to be very common in this vehicle make and model, with many many people( thousands of them) posting pictures and describing the same issue in "the exact same spots"!!!!. Also, the cracks seem to happen over the steering column in addition to the passenger airbag, causing more safety concerns that driving components could now be exposed to damaging heat and ice rays affecting driving safety. I have brought this issue to gm dealership where I purchased car, and they have ignored me. I have also called corporate, and they have also offered no assistance. There is approximately 20,000 people on a web forum called "change. Org. ", that have explained identical concerns for airbag safety with these cracking dashboards, and the petition has even been brought to gm ceo attention. I am concerned for my families well-being and lives, if ever I was in an accident where these airbags deploy. The cracked dashboard in that area could be a potential lethal weapon causing harm. Thank you.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that cracks appeared on the dashboard by the front passenger side air bag location. The contact was uncertain if the air bag components would be affected due to the failure impacting the structural integrity of the dashboard. The dealer (clay cooley Chevrolet, 1251 e airport fwy, irving, TX 75062, (469) 351-0319) was contacted and informed the contact that there was no warranty, no recall, and that the vehicle would need to be diagnosed so that they could order the part for the dashboard repairs. In addition, the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). The dealer stated that the part was unavailable and did not know when it would arrive. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and indicated that there was no warranty or recall, and suggested that the dealer repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was not available.

Recall for passenger-side airbag has not been performed after being requested and parts being on order since June 2016. Cannot obtain an expected parts delivery date from my dealer.

The dash at the corner of my passenger side airbag cracked and now the entire dash rattles. I am worried about how this affects the airbag now. The dash was vibrating so much and it just keeps getting worse. I have looked online and apparently, I am not even close to being the only one with this problem. Please help!.

The dashboard on my 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe has two severe cracks. . . One above the instrument panel and the other beside the passenger side airbag. It would seem that this crack could interfere with the effectiveness of the airbag. This is a known issue with these vehicles.

I came out to start my car one day and noticed that my dash board cracked in two places. It seems like it happened over night theres a huge crack splitting into another one above my steering wheel and another crack on the crease of the passenger side air bag which is causing it to lift and looks like it could set off the airbag unexpectedly. Very dangerous especially as I have children in the car on a daily basis.

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. Both gm and our local dealership have denied me any assistance in having the dashboard replaced.

Dashboard on a 2010 Tahoe cracked in 2014 near the left front corner of the passenger side airbag. If air bag were to deploy the dashboard could become shrapnel injuring occupants.

Dash panel began cracking above instrument panel and spread both ways to drivers side and all the way to the passenger side air bag. It is now cracking on the other side of the airbag. Huge safety issue if the airbag were to deploy! panel shards would either pop airbag or stab a passenger.
