Tahoe

  • 76,000 miles
As I was riding down the interstate I heard a load pop or cracking sound. I looked around the vehicle and couldn't find where it came from. When I got home I inspected it a bit further and found that the dash had cracked right above the instrument panel on the drivers side. I couldn't believe my eyes. A few weeks later the same sound occurred and I noticed a crack by the passenger side airbag. Although it wasn't big I was concerned. Just a few days after that....another pop. The crack on the passenger side had extended in length. I have tried to contact Chevrolet regarding the issue but there is always a long hold time. The reason that this concerns me now is that in November I was T-boned at an intersection and pushed into a curb on the passenger side and much to my surprise the air bad did not deploy. Now I wonder if it has malfunctioned and if the crack was the cause. Considering the age, the number of complaints on various websites and the fact that we take very good care of our $30,000 investment you would think that Chevy would step up and take responsibility for a faulty/defective product.

My dashboard had cracked in 2 places. One is right next to the airbag and its forcing the whole dash to shake. I'm hoping the cracks don't affect the airbag if it's ever needed. I have read thousands of complaints about the Tahoe dashboard cracking. I'm wondering why their isn't a recall on this piece due to them all cracking by the passenger airbag.

Not sure if it is a safety issue but I have had areas of cracking on the top of the dashboard. I have never seen a vehicle have this condition with only 45000 miles on it and the fact that it is garaged frequently. There is also peeling of some type of coating in the center of the steering wheel.

My dash board is cracked in multiple places. I am concerned that this could affect my safety, as well as the safety of my passengers, should the airbag deploy. There is no reason that the dash board should have cracked.

Dash is starting to crack on passenger side (left front area of airbag). This SUV is a 2010 Chevy Tahoe ls. Vehicle has around 71K miles. Wanted to check transmission level, but transmission dip stick and tube come together off from transmission. Checked under SUV, found transmission tube popped out. The bracket that holds transmission tube is broken. I was able to pop transmission tube back in. Also left rear and tight front inner chrome door handle are starting to peel off. Plan to take to Chevy dealer, to see what they can do about this concerns.

There is a crack on the top part of the dash and it just keeps cracking. I a, scared its going to affect the gauges and airbag, I use a windshield cover so I am not sure why this happened. I paid way to much for this to happen. But I have seen where multiple people have had the same problem.

I have a crack in my dash board above the instrument panel on my 2010 Chevy Tahoe. I am concern if there is an airbag deployment the dash will cause serious personal injury to me as the driver or any passengers. This is a common occurrence with Chevy dash boards and it needs to be rectified.
