“Dash. Cracked on drivers side and also passenger side. Then a larger cracked appeared going higher up over the control panel. The year after we purchased this vehicle new, we kept hearing a rattle. As time went on the noise increased and the hairline crack became larger. We have had to insert a foam piece to control the rattleling. Our so. Has a 2010 chevy Tahoe and has the same issue”
NHTSA complaint #11241415, filed 2019-08, 15,000 miles“Cracked dash- I found the dash of my 2010 Tahoe cracked by the passenger air bag and above the instrument cluster. Upon doing research I found that numerous other chevy owners are experiencing the same issue and GM continues to deny that it is an issue with their vehicles and do a recall even though they all crack in the same areas.”
NHTSA complaint #11053769, filed 2017-12, 90,000 miles“This the 2nd time mine dashboard has cracked on paassenger side of mine 2010 Tahoe. The 1st time serra Chevrolet fixed at no cost to me. This time that said that it would be over a $1,000 dollars. I do not think I should have to pay this, I park in mine garage. I would like to be able to go get it corrected at no cost to me. I just saw that it had happen, there were no accidents.”
NHTSA complaint #10818906, filed 2016-01, 84,000 miles“Driving along one day at 45 MPH and the dashboard just cracked. Mine has cracked over the instrument panel. I have a friend who has the same crack as well as a crack over the air bag on the passenger side. The cracked dash is a known problem that needs to be corrected, I am also concerned what may happen if the air bag goes off with what is obviously a brittle dash.”
NHTSA complaint #10760022, filed 2015-08, 96,000 miles“My dashboard had cracked in 2 places. One is right next to the airbag and its forcing the whole dash to shake. I'm hoping the cracks don't affect the airbag if it's ever needed. I have read thousands of complaints about the Tahoe dashboard cracking. I'm wondering why their isn't a recall on this piece due to them all cracking by the passenger airbag.”
