My 2010 Chevy Tahoe ltz has a crack right above my passenger side airbag. Given that I have seen thousands of people with the same issue, this should be considered a defect and a recall should be issued. It is a safety hazard because if my airbag deploys, there is a possibility that pieces of plastic could injure someone.

Dash cracks in two places: Over the passenger airbag and over the instrument panel

Have a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe with cracks in the dash above the instrument cluster and by the air bag on the passenger side.
- Laredo, TX, USA
I have a 2010 Chevy Tahoe that has two cracks in the dashboard. One is directly in front of the driver's side and the other one is on the passenger's side near the airbag area. The defect is just visible and so far has not impacted the truck's performance when in motion. I saw where a number of other owners of GMC, Chevrolet, and Cadillac SUV owners have this same issue. I am not sure if the airbags deployment may be affected. However, I would like for GMC to issue a notice and/or recall.

Cracked dash by the passenger airbag
- Manitowoc, WI, USA
My dash is cracked in 4 different places. One crack extends to the airbag and I am afraid if the airbag were to deploy pieces of the dash would break off and potentially hit someone. It is also very annoying because it rattles constantly.
- Jonesboro, AR, USA
There are 2 cracks on the dash, one on each side which could cause harm/death to the passengers because of flying plastic should an airbag deploy. I have contacted the dealer and GM with negative results. It was first noticed in April 2015 and the vehicle had less than 32,000 miles.
- Plano, TX, USA
Cracks have formed in the dashboard for no reason. It started with one crack above the instrument cluster, which continues to worsen, and now one has formed by the passenger airbag, which has me concerned for safety should the airbag need to deploy.
- York, PA, USA
Cracks appeared on dash, around the instrument panels, around the central speaker and also on the left side of the dash, around the airbags. Cracks keep expanding, lots of rattling and bouncing while on the road.
- Pembroke Pines, FL, USA
Dashboard just cracked in front of console/steering wheel. This is similar to a problem I had with a 2001 Chevy Tahoe I owned previously to this. That incident happened while car was still under warranty, this time it happened after warranty had ended.
- Tampa, FL, USA
Dashboard broke at passenger airbag and also on driver side above cluster panel
- Waxahachie, TX, USA
Vehicle dash is cracking in multiple places. Around air bags
- Palm Harbor, FL, USA
Multiple cracks on top of dashboard on both driver and passenger sides near airbag. If the airbags deploy due to a crash, there will be multiple pieces of the dashboard broken that could inhibit the deployment of the airbags or cause plastic pieces to impale a passenger. The dealership has declined to repair under a GM recall.
- Fort Worth, TX, USA
I have two cracks that appeared on my dashboard for absolutely no reason. One is above the steering wheel and the other is on the passenger side at the edge of the airbag compartment. The one by the airbag is the shape of a triangle and a whole piece of the dash fell off. I believe it is very dangerous because if the airbag deployed it would very likely catch on the missing piece of dash and rip. It seems that it could also cause the dash to crack further and pieces of the dash could go flying at a passenger if there were an accident. I took it to two different Chevy dealers and neither of them would admit it was dangerous and wanted to change over 800 dollars to repair it.

Dash panel began cracking above instrument panel and spread both ways to drivers side and all the way to the passenger side air bag. It is now cracking on the other side of the airbag. Huge safety issue if the airbag were to deploy! panel shards would either pop airbag or stab a passenger.
