Dash cracking near electrical system on driver's side and near air bag on passenger side. I've called GM and dealerships. They said there's no recall. This is a very dangerous situation and I don't want the airbag exploding while my 1 year old grandbaby is in the vehicle with me. There's several people that have complained of the same issues online. Please do something about this!
- Leslie, GA, USA
2012 Tahoe recently bought and has began cracking around the air bag and driver side as mentioned on previous post by other consumers. A concern if the air bag is deployed that shaprel will shoot out if in an accident. Vehicle was stationary and appeared out of nowhere.
- Abilene, TX, USA
Two issues: 1. dashboard cracked at airbag on passenger side and on drivers side. Airbag deployment appears unsafe due to cracking. 2. in hot and humid weather to, the traction and stability systems become inoperable and the message system requests that maintenance be performed. This message can come up a few minutes after driving or can come on right after starting the vehicle.
- Wilson, NC, USA
Two advancing cracks in the dash.
- Taylors, SC, USA
The dashboard on my 2012 Tahoe started cracking on the passenger side near the airbag. As a few weeks have gone by, the driver's side has started cracking too. The dash looks horrible and I have only had the car 1 month. I am worried that if I were in a wreck, the broken dash will fly off when the air bag deploys.

The top dashboard piece has multiple cracks in it similar to other reports made by consumers. One crack is next to the passenger airbag compartment, and another is at the base of the dashboard behind the steering wheel. No impact or accident cause these cracks; they simply appeared on the car and have continued to grow in size.
- Woodstock, GA, USA
When idling at a stop light the car continue to pull ahead as if I had my foot on the gas petal. 2nd item: Developed a crack on the passengers side dash board close to the air bag cover. Both items rattle when I'm driving.
- Mcallen, TX, USA
Cracked dash right where the airbag is. I park my car in the garage and use sunshades when not parked inside. My Tahoe is not that old. I take excellent care of it, and there should be no reason for the dash to crack. It almost seems like there may be too much pressure from the airbag being inside there causing it to crack. It's definitely a manufacture defect. I'm not sure the airbag will work properly if needed.
- Round Rock, TX, USA
Dash board on drive and passengerside are crack
- Sylmar, CA, USA
There is a crack on the drivers side dash, at the upper left hand corned of the airbag. The vehicle has not been in a collision since I purchased it nor do I do any kind of offroading on rough terrain. Vehicle is always parked in my driveway. I woke up one morning, got in the truck and the crack was there. The evening prior, there was no crack in the dash. I do not know the specific cause of this crack. While doing research, I noticed that other vehicles like mine have experienced airbag failures which have resulted in accidents and at least one fatality. The crack tends to expand when the weather is hot and contracts to almost an unnoticeable state when cool.
- Ellenton, FL, USA
Two cracks in the dash, 1 on top in the middle of the instrument panel & the other along side the passenger air bag; which I assume is not very safe in case of a situation where the air bag may be deployed.
- Alice, TX, USA
Severely cracked dash over the instrument panel and multiple cracks around the passenger side airbag.
- Cordova, TN, USA
Cracking dash by passenger air bag closet to the windsheild.
- Carlisle, AR, USA
Dash has cracked within last month into the passenger airbag door. Concerned that deployment of passenger airbag would result in defective deployment or further breakage of dash causing danger to automobile passengers due to shards being broken during deployment.
- Dallas, TX, USA
Dash above instrument panel just split. Also discovered crack on dash above passenger airbag.
- Amarillo, TX, USA

- Houma, LA, USA
