Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have done everything in my power, knowledge and experience to address the issue of my cracked dashboard/pad. I have reached out to dozens upon dozens of other Tahoe/yukon owners who have experienced the exact same issue and have reached out to GM for further assistance to only have been turned away.”
NHTSA complaint #11404772, filed 2021-03, 80,000 miles“Dashboard is severely cracking above and around airbags putting passengers in harms way. This is a manufacturer defect as tens of thousands of owners have reported but GM has failed to recognize as of yet. Please please get someone to look into this as it is a major concern. I'd love to continue to buy american products but my faith in their quality is waning!”
NHTSA complaint #10735155, filed 2015-07, 86,000 miles“Dashboard cracked above instrument panel. Vehicle was in motion on a neighborhood street. Heard popping noise that startled me while driving. Upon inspection discovered new crack in dash which was not cracked prior. We do not use cleaning solutions in our Tahoe due to our daughter having respiratory issues. We only wipe with cloths. This could not have been caused by cleaning solutions due to that.”
NHTSA complaint #10966575, filed 2017-03, 101,325 miles“While driving 65mph on the interstate in very good driving conditions, I heard a loud pop and realized that my dash had cracked. The crack originally stretched 6-7 inches from the edge of the dash close to the windshield above the gauge cluster toward the driver. The crack continues to lengthen and my concern is this presents a safety hazard that increases as the crack gets longer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10818288, filed 2016-01, 120,000 miles“My dash developed one crack, than two, then three, with no impact or obvious reason. I eventually took it to a dealership. I was told by the advisor that this was not uncommon. They split the repair cost with me, but I have since discovered this was far more wide spread than originally thought. It is obviously a faulty part.”
