Carrier/rack problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid

I have had to replace now the dash twice because of severe cracking. Numerous complaints have been reported.

My dashboard developed a crack above the glove compartment approximately 9 months ago. An even bigger second crack developed above the steering wheel. My vehicle is garage kept and well taken care of. I fear these cracks may impact the electronics for the airbag.

At approx. 60k mileage it was noticed that the dashboard top left corner of the passenger airbag was cracked. Vehicle was brought to a gm dealership and it was replaced. At 113k mileage, the crack is now in the same exact place on the passenger airbag as well as on the drivers side. Because we are out of the 100k warranty gm refuses to pay. We are out of pocket $950 to replace with no assurance if left cracked it will not cause a safety hazard if airbag is deployed. This is the 4th gm vehicle with the exact crack.

My dashboard began to crack around 40,000 miles on my passenger side airbag. Within a year another crack developed on the other side of the passenger side airbag. Then at approx 85,000 miles I had a huge crack develop and spread on my dash right behind my steering wheel. This crack has begun to get bigger. I have contacted my dealership and gm.
