Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe

Dash cracked by the passenger side airbag.

Vehicle was stationary and I noticed a crack in the dash board right on the passenger side air bag. Thru some research I came across a pending class action lawsuit for this issue affecting thousands of gm customers. This vehicle has only 35,000 miles on it.

2 cracks around front passenger side airbag dash board. Happened within the past month.

I have a 2 inch crack by my passenger side air bag in my dash also that just kind of appeared out of nowhere and the center of the windshield panel of the dash is also lifting up. I have just noticed.

Dash is cracked over instrument panel, and 2 spots over the passenger side airbag. The cracks get bigger everyday and makes the dash rattle. Bought in 2016 and the cracks just keep getting worse. Along with the drivers side door handle that cracked inside.

I, like several hundred chevy Tahoe, gm owners (approximate years 2007-2013) are experiencing "cracked dashes". These cracks are appearing at various laces on the dash but the area of most concern is adjacent to the passenger side air bag. Gm refuses to take any responsibility for these potential hazardous conditions. Too, it is my understanding that these have been way under-reported to you. These is a lengthy facebook site dedicated to the numbers of owners facing these challenges. Please force gm to take responsibility for these poor design and implementation practices.

Dashboard broke into passenger side airbag aperture while the car was sitting in my garage and had less than 75,000 miles. I went to Chevrolet service center in dallas, TX on east I-35 concerned about the possibility of additional injury if the airbag deployed since the dash is already broken and probably will further disintegrate if a collision causes airbag deployment.

While turning left (tahoe) with a protected green arrow at an x-shaped intersection, vehicle (kia sedan) at fault failed to yield and entered the intersection at speeds upwards of 40 mph from the left of the Tahoe. Front-impact collision occurred; due to the shape of the intersection and the velocity of the impact, Tahoe struck passenger side of kia sedan. Trajectory of impact caused directional changes in upwards of for both vehicles; the force of the primary accident described above also caused mentioned vehicles to collide with left rear of another vehicle (Honda sedan), causing near 360* rotation of the Honda sedan. Due to the force of impact, front & side airbags deployed on both the kia sedan and the Honda sedan, but failed to deploy on the Tahoe. Scene indicated that the kia sedan made no attempt to brake or decrease speed prior to collision; posted speed limit at intersection is 40 mph. Force was such that after the collision, Tahoe transmission was in drive, but remained at a complete stop. Damage sustained on the Tahoe include front-end body damage, engine damage (vehicle required towing and was inoperable), and frame damage, at a minimum. In addition, engine service lights as well as onstar vehicle diagnostic reports indicate that the airbag system, antilock braking system, and the stabilitrak stability control system also sustained damage and require attention. Multiple first-responders commented on the oddity that, given the damage sustained by the Tahoe and the velocity at impact, the airbags deployed on all vehicles but the Tahoe.
