Tahoe

  • miles
My dashboard is cracked on both the driver and passenger side. While I was driving my passenger commented on it and asked what happened. I hadn't noticed it before since I couldn't see over the part of the dashboard that is higher than the backside closer to the windshield.

My 2013 Tahoe has cracks in the dashboard over the steering column and the passenger seat side. There are pictures attached. The cracks just happened. I have reported this before, nothing happened. It has gotten worse. I have taken to get it fixed but cost is outrageous. I have ordered two dash covers neither matched. Now by front doors (both the driver and passenger side) pull handles are falling part. Every time you pull the door shut it pinches your fingers or slips and you almost fall down. Every unsafe. This was my dream car. My husband has owned several Tahoe that he uses in is building business, he does not baby is vehicles and his interior could be cleaned up and look like new and it's a 2004 with almost 300,000 miles on it. My interior rattles and looks so cheap. I am 66 years old. I can not afford a new Tahoe or a used one they are way to expensive if these problems are going to happen. I took to a dealership 2 weeks ago to get an estimate on the parts and labor. I voted the parts quote but haven't heard from the labor. I can't believe you have to buy the entire door panels. I am ashamed to drive my car with family and friends in it, because it rattles and looks horrible. I am afraid it the crack over the steering may cause some electrical or some other problems. I would like a response to these problems. I have friends with the exact problems. I would consider buying any else, but we have always been Chevy fans. I don't know now?

Tahoe

  • 92,000 miles
My dashboard has cracked in two places as shown on the attached photos. One crack is near the housing for the airbag, and the other is forming above the steering wheel. The cracks result in the dashboard shacking on any uneven road surface, so eventually the smaller crack will progress across the entire dashboard. I understand there is a class action lawsuit against Chevy due to a safety hazard from this defective part. Replacement or repairs are estimated to be $1200-$2000. This has happened over the course of normal driving.

Dashboard has become cracked around the passenger side airbag and the dashboard also has numerous other cracks. The cracks have developed over the time since I purchased the vehicle in September 2015. There are thousands of pictures relating to this issue circulating online. I also purchased the best warranty GM offers, including the bumper to bumper warranty, but that didn't include the dashboard as I was told.

My dash is cracked in 3 places as of the last 2 weeks. In googling the issue, it appears there was a law suit against GM about this defective part in the vehicle. Https://www.carparts.com/blog/the-latest-on-the-GM-cracked-dash-issue/ I would like help with rectifying the replacement or repair of the defective part.

The dashboard of the vehicle has severe cracks around the passenger side airbag as well as the driver side steering wheel. The vehicle has been well maintained and never been in a wreck. I am very concerned that the plastic may become projectiles in the event of an accident. The dealership refuses to acknowledge fault or cover repairs.
