“I have a 2013 chevy Tahoe z71 with approximately 45,000 miles. There are a total of three cracks in my dashboard one on the drivers side above the instrument panel and the other two are on the passenger side right above the passenger airbag. I was told by GM that I would have to repair the dash myself and pay out of pocket.”
NHTSA complaint #11129333, filed 2018-09, 34,000 miles“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.
