“Purchased vehicle feb 2012. The dash became cracked above steering wheel within a year of ownership, had dash replaced at Chevrolet dealership in may 2013. Within 3 years the new dash started to crack also and has continued to crack in multiple places; above the steering wheel and around passenger side dash airbag. We live within city limits on paved roads, we also have a paved driveway.”
NHTSA complaint #11235158, filed 2019-07, 110,000 miles“The dashboard of my 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe is cracked in the passenger side where the airbag is located. I see many chevy Tahoe owners with the same issue but there is no recall yet and it seems that this problem could not only get worst but potentially dangerous based on the location of the crack.”
NHTSA complaint #10838750, filed 2016-02, 67,000 miles“The dashboard on my 2009 Tahoe cracked just to the left of the airbag on the passenger side and then several months later cracked above the gauge cluster. I contacted GM, along with many other owners with this issue, as I am concerned about the safety - since it was so close to the air bag.”
NHTSA complaint #10824365, filed 2016-02, 100,000 miles“Cracked dashboard and spreading - my 2009 dashboard has large cracks in several places and is now exposing the electrical underneath. Not only do I find this very alarming seeing as the airbags are underneath but the problem is only getting worse , in motion or not , and the rattling sounds of all the pieces have become super annoying. Gm this needs to be addressed and fixed! Take care of your customers!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10893059, filed 2016-08, 120,000 miles“My dash has been cracking and I have a crack in between the passenger airbag. I'm very concerned about this problem. I'm afraid that the airbag can deploy and enger my passenger in there face. I've tried to address this issue with the dealership, but I've gotten no help, especially now since my warranty has expired. I really hope I can get some help with this major problem and concern I have with my dash.”
