There is a large crack in the dashboard right up to the air bag. I don't know when or how it started. I looked at the dashboard and there was a crack. It seems to be getting bigger. I am afraid that if I am ever in an accident with a passenger the airbag will not deploy.

Approximately 6 months ago the dash on the passenger side started to crack in my 2012 Chevy Tahoe. It has always been in a heated garage and out of the sunlight. On December 1, 2015 is the date I purchased the vehicle and the dealer talked me into putting a nano technology coating on the entire vehicle to keep it in like new condition, which cost me $899. I took it to the dealership and showed them and they were going to let me know if abra would fix it, however, after 2 months still no response from the dealership and I contacted them again yesterday. The other thing is the driver side door handle has cracked underneath and so when you close the door it feels like you are going to pull the door vinyl right off. I have never had anything like this happen before.

Takata recall---a code "service air bag" note appeared on the dash and is now at the dealer to replace the passenger air bag. The cost is over $1000. The vehicle was not in an accident, the code just came on while driving.

We own two Chevy Tahoe's, one is a 2008 and the other is a 2012. Both of them have cracking dashboards. I am highly concerned as the effect this could have on the airbags. Both vehicles are in very good condition except for the cracking dashboards.

Multiple cracks in the dash and around air bags. Multiple people have stated the dash is a problem in the Avalanche, Silverado and Tahoe yet the dealership charges an astronomical amount to replace the dash.
- Little Elm, TX, USA
Dash has split into the passenger airbag container and now into the cowling that covers the instrument panel. This has all happened since 10-3-2015 with less than 80000 miles on car that is garaged and dash protected from sun when out of garage. Splits occurred overnight in both cases when car was parked and weather was not extreme; got in car in a.M. and discovered split #1 (image 1)and same with split #2 (image 2) on 11-16-16 that has now forked (image 3) in the past month. I have never used armor all on the dash. It has never sat out in inclement weather.

Takata recall I called baierl Chevrolet in wexford, Pennsylvania about the recall. According to the NHTSA.gov website my vehicle is affected. The dealership said they have no information about this recall and therefore will not make an appointment to look at my Tahoe. Who is right" the NHTSA.gov website? or baierl Chevrolet" this needs to be confirmed, as I am currently driving children around in my Tahoe.

This week the temperature fluctuated drastically. My Tahoe was in the garage for 2 solid days. I pulled it out the next two days and drove to work like any normal day but the temperatures were cold in the mornings and warmed up through the day. Today we pulled the Tahoe out of the garage, got in to go to church and noticed that the dash had cracked in the upper corner of the airbag compartment towards the air vent. I am very concerned that should I be in an accident and the airbag deploy, that shards of plastic would break and be impelled through the vehicle possible harming my family.

I currently own a 2012 Tahoe that the dashboard has cracked over the drivers area and cracked in two place on the passenger airbag causing a serious safety issue should the airbag deploy it could seriously injure someone or kill them
- Lake Worth, FL, USA
My Tahoe has dash cracks from poorly constructed dash risking dash collapse and cracks at the airbag with risk of flying debris upon release of airbag resulting in injuring occupants. Chevrolet not interested in replacing. Purchased the vehicle like this at 75000 miles and discovered this is a very common issue in all the Chevrolet and GM vehicles from years 2007-2014.
