36 Carrier/rack problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 04/22/2020

Last year around April 2020 I noticed a crack in the dash on the right passenger side where the air bag is located. Over the last year another crack formed on the left passenger side located where the air bag is and the dash in front of the driver has cracked directly in front of the driver going down towards the windshield, it is beginning to split into 3 separate cracks. My vehicle is garage kept, so I know the heat from the sun did not cause my dash to crack in 3 separate places. About a month ago I received a recall on my vehicle due to faulty airbags. So I decided to educate myself on the recall and after reading hundreds of complaints regarding their vehicle's dash cracking as well. . Lets see, faulty air bags along with cracked dashes where the air bags are located guess its not a coincidence. Guess it won't be a coincidence when the faulty air bag goes off and the cracked plastic dash goes flying and severally injures or causes death to a loved one. I wonder how many drivers and/or passengers have been injured or are deceased due to this manufacture defect.

2011 Tahoe - dash board has cracked for no apparent reason. Appears to be a defect. Crack on dash is located on driver's side in front of steering wheel. From viewing database this is a common problem which gm has failed to address - especially if a crash occurs and fragments of dash could cause further injury to driver/passengers and/or cause airbag issues.

Failure Date: 01/01/2020

Dashboard has cracked and broke off.

51 Carrier/rack problem of the 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 12/31/2019

The dashboard cover is cracked in several places. The vehicle is well maintained, garaged and has not been used off paved roads. The cracks are a safety hazard in the event of even small collisions since they create sharp corners and pointed ends. In the event of a major collision, pieces would likely become hazardous flying objects propelled by the airbags.

Failure Date: 12/30/2019

Cracked dashboard. Hazzard faulty installation and materials.

53 Carrier/rack problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 12/26/2019

Dashboard cracked next to the corner of the passenger side airbag cover. Noticed when I got in Tahoe which is garage kept in the northeast.

54 Carrier/rack problem of the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 12/23/2019

The dash on the vehicle has cracked at the passenger air bag cover. Also cracked above the speedometer. Concern is there may be humidity ingress to the airbag, the electronics or sub assemblies increasing the risk for an airbag deployment anomaly. Another concern is plastic or metal from the dash could also impact the airbag (deflation) or present injury to the occupants (flying parts). A lesser concern is the sensors for the automated ac/heating systems in the car. Believing they are calibrated with sealed intact components. The larger split at the speedometer has only recently happened which makes this a concern that there are larger more underpinning issues not fully realized.

55 Carrier/rack problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 12/01/2019

My dash is cracked and broken to the point it may collapse in the middle. I have cracks on both sides of the passenger airbag and another one above the speedometer that runs to the middle of the dash. It is cracked so badly across the length of the dash that it hangs loosely and rattles while driving. I have used a sunlight visor since buying the vehicle and I can assure you this damage is not my fault. I have looked at replacing the dash myself but cannot afford to do so right now and I am afraid it is going to collapse. This is a "mom" ride, I carry my kids in this vehicle. What would happen if we got into a wreck? would pieces of the dash fly off and possibly injure one of them? please help.

56 Carrier/rack problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 11/25/2019

One week after purchasing a 2010 chevy Tahoe I saw what looked like a scratch on the dash behind the steering wheel. When I looked at it closer the dash scratch was actually a crack. When I touched it the dash cracked behind the steering wheel and on the passenger side where it was not touched. Dealer told me to buy a dash cover. Not right answer after giving him $20,000. 00 a week earlier. Told me it was from the sun. The material used was of very poor quality because of all the complaints. They could have offered to install a dash cover at there expense $100. 00. Very bad dealer customer support. Will never walk in there again for anything. That is why I do not like car dealers. It could have been a good experience but they ruined it over a $100. 00 part. And a known defect. This happened while car was parked in my drive way.

59 Carrier/rack problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 11/18/2019

My dash has begun to crack substantially. I have not done anything to cause this. Essentially, over time, it has gone from a small hairline crack to cracks and damage everywhere. Again, I have not done anything to cause this at all. This issue is reported among many gm vehicle owners, and should be taken care of by gm. I refuse to pay upwards of $1000 for something I didn't cause.

64 Carrier/rack problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 09/11/2019

I purchased my 2010 in 2011 and the dash cracked in 2012. I have taken it to my local chevy dealer twice and chevy will still not accept responsibility for its poor quality and manufacturing. A vehicle that is only two years old and had never been involved in an accident should not have cosmetic damage. This is definitely a manufacturers problem and should be replaced by the company. My truck was worth 48,000 at the time and I should not be responsible for a repair caused by poor quality of their materials. Now my vehicle is 9 years old and the air bags deployed out of nowhere when my son was driving. . . . There was no wreck or impact with anything and they deployed. The quality used by chevy is terrible and I do not plan on purchasing anything else from a company that sells over priced vehicles with cheap and faulty parts that they don't want to assume responsibility for.

65 Carrier/rack problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 09/09/2019

The dash has cracked in three places two are where the passenger air bag is on the dash. The worst one is above the steering wheel. It cracked bad split a piece fell down inside. We have tape over it to keep it together. This could be very dangerous if a collision happens. This Tahoe is kept in our garage. Upon researching your web site I see 45 complaints pertaining to the same problem. I stopped on page sixteen. That seems more than enough to make the manufacture to replace the dash at their expense. The qualified dealership charges over $1000 to replace the dash. Please help.

66 Carrier/rack problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 09/01/2019

Approximately 6 months ago the dash on the passenger side started to crack in my 2012 chevy Tahoe. It has always been in a heated garage and out of the sunlight. On December 1, 2015 is the date I purchased the vehicle and the dealer talked me into putting a nano technology coating on the entire vehicle to keep it in like new condition, which cost me $899. I took it to the dealership and showed them and they were going to let me know if abra would fix it, however, after 2 months still no response from the dealership and I contacted them again yesterday. The other thing is the driver side door handle has cracked underneath and so when you close the door it feels like you are going to pull the door vinyl right off. I have never had anything like this happen before.

70 Carrier/rack problem of the 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 08/07/2019

My dashboard has cracked in two places as shown on the attached photos. One crack is near the housing for the airbag, and the other is forming above the steering wheel. The cracks result in the dashboard shacking on any uneven road surface, so eventually the smaller crack will progress across the entire dashboard. I understand there is a class action lawsuit against chevy due to a safety hazard from this defective part. Replacement or repairs are estimated to be $1200-$2000. This has happened over the course of normal driving.
