My dashboard is severely cracked, I called GM to order a new dashboard and they don't have the parts. First this shouldn't happen, GM should own up to the issue and create a part that doesn't have the issue. Second they don't even have the existing part to fix the issue. I called a local dealership (Simi Valley Chevrolet) who wouldn't even give me the part numbers as they said it was against their policy to not give out part numbers. I don't know how a consumer is supposed to fix their vehicle with manufacturer who doesn't make a part any longer and a dealer who doesn't give the information to find another one.

I purchased my Tahoe a little over a year ago, and it already had a cracked dash, but was minor. One small crack by the passenger airbag, and one in front of the steering wheel. Since then, it has progressively gotten worse. The crack near the airbag extends from the airbag panel to the edge of the dash where it joins to the front section of the dash. The driver side crack extends from the same edge, up towards the steering wheel, almost to the edge closest to the steering wheel. I purchased the vehicle in Utah. It was owned by someone who lived in the northeast, then moved to Utah, and then I moved to Kentucky about 6 months after purchasing the vehicle. The problem has started and continues despite the location, or the temperature. It seems to be getting worse due to not being supported from the underside.

Bad engine cuts off while driving. Burn excessive oil and water. Motor makes loud noises. Brakes have to be changed every 2 months. Grinding noises when you take your feet of the gas, sounds like a 18 wheeler breaking down to stop. Now the engine won't turn over. Replaced sensors and timing but still not cranking. So now it needs a motor. Dashboard is cracked up so bad you can see inside to airbag. Which sometimes gets extremely hot.

I came out of my house and got in my truck (2007 Chevrolet Tahoe ltz) yesterday morning (1/15/2019). After I started my truck I heard strange noises, as if something was popping/cracking. I looked around inside my truck but didn't really notice anything because I was looking in the rear, left and right out the windows. I opened the sunroof cover & didn't notice anything, until I looked down and seen two separate cracks on top of my dashboard. One long crack about 3 or 4 inches long on top of my dashboard, overtop of my gauges and another crack on the passenger side by the airbag on top of the dashboard about 1 inch and a half long. I don't know how my dashboard can just crack on its own, but I do know that it was not there days before because I had my truck detailed inside/out after being fully painted. I checked online didn't see any recalls from GM for cracked dashboards on 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe's but I do see a lot of random complaints were numerous people had the same issue on various of GM trucks from 2007-2014.

I am concerned about a manufacturing defect in the dash of Tahoe. I have read numerous complaints online from other Chevy Tahoe owners of various years with same exact issue. The dash is cracking at the airbag locations. At what point does this become a safety issue" is it only after an injury or death occurs" there is already a recall on the taka airbag inflator but we remain on a "list" for repairs. Any safety issue should not take that long to be repaired. The cracking in the dash at the locations of the airbags should also be taken seriously!

My Tahoe still looks like a new vehicle and is paid for so I would like to continue to drive it but I am so concerned with the way the dash has cracked. It started about a year ago and is cracked in 4 different locations. In one spot you can lift the dash completely open. I have 6 grandchildren and do not like having to worry about structures in my vehicle potentially injuring them or anyone else that may get injured from an accident where the air bags may be deployed. You would think that the company would recall such a defect besides waiting for a lawsuit for possible injuries or death related to this issue!!!! the vehicle has been kept under a shed and doesn't get driven that often. The first cracks notice were when the car was stationary!!
