Dash cracking. This is a known issue with these vehicles and gm needs to fix it. Every one I have seen does this. They crack near the airbag originally, which mine is. It is beginning to crack in other places. The sharp edges have cut my finger before while just wiping the dash. The sharp edges could also cut into electrical wires down the road. This vehicle has always been taken care of and stored indoors and this is unacceptable to have sharp cracked edges like this from normal use.

Dashboard is cracked from the corner of the passenger airbag cover to the seam in the dash panel need the defroster. We were involved in a rear end accident and the crack appeared after the accident. I'm concerned it could affect the air bag deploying.

I received notification in March 2021 of a gm recall n212328800. I promptly contacted my gm dealer. My gm dealer ordered the replacement part & we dropped off the car. An hour later, we were told the repair was complete & we arrived to pick up the car. When signing the paperwork, we noticed a note indicating that the dashboard was cracked on arrival. We immediately went out to the car and found 2 cracks in the dashboard. The dashboard was not cracked on arrival. I had just wiped off the dash that morning prior to bringing the car to the dealer. We talked to the service manager who said they took pictures and had video. We asked to see said pictures and video & once they went looking for them, they told us they did not save for some reason. We pushed the issue further with the general manager. They refused to take responsibility for the cracked dash that occurred during the airbag repair. They refused to fix my dashboard. They did not tell us at any point prior to the repair that this could happen. I am not sure what type of hazard this may be to us in the future but the resale value just took a hit. I know there has been a class action lawsuit for similar types of damage from this takata airbag recall. I am following protocol by reporting this to you.

Dash board cracks on the passages side beside the airbag cover. Also cracks on the driver side from near the windshield running toward the odometer area. Cracks appeared over time that I owned the vehicle.

I have had two cracks develop on the dash of my Tahoe. I have not hit anything nor had an accident that would cause these cracks to appear. I believe the product used to create the dash was inferior which has caused the cracking.

2009 Tahoe has a cracked dashboard it's very enjoying sometimes can cause a distraction from little bumps in the road making loud noises and makes a car's interior look horrible it's ridiculous that gm won't replace these under the lemon law it was just sitting in the garage when it happened to crack.

About a month or two my wife notices crack line about 4 inches on the drives side top of the dashboard, a week ago she noticed another crack had started on the passenger side going into the passengers air bag cover from the top vent, because this so close to the air bag I started to do some research, I found some complaints and something that said gm won't warranty this issue. I haven't brought it to the dealership yet because I thought it was nothing but now that is near the air bag I will, hope this helps anybody with the same issue or maybe I could get some more info in case this is not cover by gm.

The vehicle was parked in a parking lot when I noticed that the dashboard had began to crack. After routine maintenance to repair the heater core behind the dashboard it literally fell apart, the whole piece has been replaced.

Dahsboard cracked and smelled smoke now hear clicking noise in the dash think that its related to air flow heat / air cond.

I am writing to you asking for assistance in replacement of my dashboard . I use the October date as we have noticed the cracks over the last couple months. One of the cracks is directly above where the passenger airbag is. I have discovered that there are 10000 members on a cracked dashboard site on facebook. I do not understand why gm does not stand behind this. I am concerned if the airbag deploys and someone is in the passenger seat they can be impaileded with hard pieces of plastic. I love my 2014 Tahoe ltz and has planned on trading it in on a new Tahoe or suburban. I am concerned that this will impact my resale value of the vehicle and im of the understanding that general motors will not stand behind this and fix it. I am working with my dealer but having the same problem. I cannot really determine whether the vehicle was stationary in motion etc. I just believe that the cracking has happened over time. I use a sun visor for the most part and live in northern virginia so it we do not have extreme heat for the most part.

I have a 2001 Ford f150 and the dash is not cracked. Why is GMC/Chevrolet dashboards are cracked. The dashboard is plasticity that is why is cracking. I would like to have a new one. Thank you.

Dash cracking several around passenger airbag deployment.

Dashboard cracking around airbag may cause dangerous debris if the airbag is deployed in a crash.

Yesterday while driving home, my dashboard exploded open. I guess this is a common problem with these cars which should be a serious problem to the manufacturer. After safely pulling over I was able to see that I now have a large crack in my dashboard. Parts shot out of the dash and could have hit me while driving. Please investigate!.

My dashboard has cracked above both the driver and passenger airbags. While looking to see if these cracks are repairable I learned that this is an issue with certain Tahoes (between certain years) and could be a safety issue concerning airbag deployment and was advised to report it here. (I don't think it pertains to my issue, but my vehicle was stationary at the time the cracks appeared).

Dash is cracked in multiple places including close to airbag location.

My 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe has a 2 inch crack in the dashboard on the passenger side tthat starts at the top left corner of the rectangular "cut out" to the edge of that piece of the dashboard. I am concerned that the effectiveness of the air bag if the car is impacted and do not trust gm's analysis of this question. From what I am reading on the internet, this problem is happening all too often and needs to be fixed by gm. This problem could absolutely be a serious, life threatening issue in case of an accident.

Dashboard has become cracked around the passenger side airbag and the dashboard also has numerous other cracks. The cracks have developed over the time since I purchased the vehicle in September 2015. There are thousands of pictures relating to this issue circulating online. I also purchased the best warranty gm offers, including the bumper to bumper warranty, but that didn't include the dashboard as I was told.

Dashboard got 2 big cracks and I don't feel safe driving my Tahoe. It has been garage kept at home and work. Very cheap made dashboard.

The dashboard has cracked in several places and has an impact on the value of my vehicle.

I had cracks appear on my vehicles dashboard above my instrument cluster and over by the air bag cover. This could cause a serious problem with plastic shrapnel flying into the vehicle when it deploys. Gm should fix this as it is a safety hazard. This either cheap platic or a design flaw that could cause serious injury or even death. I urge you to issue a recall in this matter as this this could effect peoples lives. I feel this is gm's duty to address and take care of this major problem with the vehicles that they build.

Dashboard cracks at corner of passenger airbag and steering wheel cowling.

Dash cracking real bad.

Cracked dashboard.

Cracks have developed at the center and passenger side areas of the dashboard and appear to be growing as the dash cools and warms. The vehicle was stationary for several days prior to noticing the cracks. The passenger side crack, like many others have reported, is at the right rear corner of the airbag containment area on the dash. This crack is especially concerning as it looks to be under pressure and bulging. My biggest concern at this point is the airbag going off prematurely while we are driving.

While I was washing my 2014 Tahoe ltz I noticed my front dash board was cracked in 2 places. Now when I drive it shakes and I am afraid that if the air bags deploy I could get the shattered pieces thrown back into me and my families face.

Dash spontaneously cracked in multiple locations, which causes distracting squeaking noise when driving. I find myself taking my eyes off the road in order to put my hand on the source of he squeaking crack in the plastic.

Dashboard cracks above the airbag area and above the instrument cowling. The crack has slowly been increasing and now it is so bad that it will have to be replaced. This is a manufacturer's defect possibly from over-tightening bolts.
