2007 Chevrolet Tahoe AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE

CRACKED FRONT DASH ON RIGHT SIDE NEAR AIR BAG AFRAID THAT IT COULD DEPLOY PREMATURELY. *TR

DASH AROUND AIRBAGS IS CRACKING AND FAILING. IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND GM REFUSES TO RECTIFY. CONCEIVABLY A PIECE OF DASH COULD BREAK OFF DURING AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE DASH CRACK IN 4 DIFFERENT PLACES; TWO ON THE DRIVER SIDE ON EACH SIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND TWO OTHER AROUND THE AIRBAG. THE TWO AROUND THE AIRBAG HAVE MADE IT SO THAT THERE IS FREE PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT IS NOT SECURED BY ANYTHING. I AM AFRAID THAT IF THE AIR BAG WAS TO DEPLOY THEN THIS PIECE WOULD CAUSE GREAT BODILY HARM TO ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND IS NOT OFFERING TO REPLACE THE DASH WITHOUT SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. *TR

DASH CRACKED WHERE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS LOCATED. I FEAR THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL PUNCTURE IF DEPLOYED OR THE PASSENGER WILL BE INJURED DUE TO DASH PIECES BEING PROJECTED AT THEM. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKED AT LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG AS WELL AS CRACKING ABOVE THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACK OVER THE AIRBAG CONCERNS ME IN THAT MY AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT HARM FROM CHARDS OF PLASTIC. *TR

THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY DASH AT THE PASS. AIR BAG CRACKED ABOUT TWO INCHES WELL DRIVING DOWN I 95. *TR

CAR HAS CRACKS IN DASHBOARD WITH LOOSE PIECES OF PLASTIC AROUND AIRBAG. WORRIED THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, PIECES OF SHARP PLASTIC COULD INJURE SOMEONE. *JS

DASH IS BRITTLE AND CRACKED AROUND AIRBAG, MIGHT CAUSE A PRICE TO BE BROKE OFF AND PROJECTED INTO MY WIFE OR KIDS FACE CAUSING DEATH. *TR

I GOT INTO MY CAR AT 1PM AND FOUND A CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ANOTHER WHERE THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY ON THE DASHBOARD. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE DASH CRACKED ADJACENT TO AIRBAG, VERY CONCERNED ABOUT INTEGRITY OF AIRBAG SYSTEM AND POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY DURING A COLLISION OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM SHARP PLASTIC EXPOSED DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASH CUTTING THE AIRBAG OR SHARDS OF PLASTIC BECOMING PROJECTILES POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. THE DASH IN THE TRUCK CRACKED OUT OF NO WHERE AND IS VERY POORLY MADE. THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP BY AUTOMAKER. *TR

THE DASH CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT THE CORNER OF WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO A LARGER CRACK APPEARED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. GM KNOWS THIS IS A RAMPANT ISSUE BUT FAILS TO SHOW INTEGRITY AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE THOUSANDS OF CRACKED DASHES IN TAHOE, YUKON, AVALANCHE, SIERRA, AND SILVERADO TRUCKS. *TR

THE DASH HAS TWO CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG HOUSING AND THREE OTHER CRACKS (2 OVER 5" LONG). CONCERN IS MAINLY AT AIRBAG LOCATION AS I AM NOT SURE IF THIS AFFECTS THE STABILITY OF THE AIRBAG, IF THE AIRBAG WILL PERFORM PROPERLY IN A COLLISION, OR IF THE PLASTIC PIECES WILL BECOME PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

I NOTICED A COUPLE OF LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASH AFTER PURCHASE. THIS VEHICLE IS PRONE TO DASH CRACKS DUE TO FAULTY PLASTIC (ONLINE RESEARCH). I'M CONCERNED THERE MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE CRACK AROUND THE AIRBAG. *TR

THERE ARE DASHBOARD CRACKS IN MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS 2? LONG, NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM TO SEE IF ITS AN ANOMALY. IT ISN'T. I AM A MEMBER OF A FACEBOOK GROUP WHO CURRENTLY HAS 250 MEMBERS AND HAVE THE EXACT SAME DEFECT. IT APPEARS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME LOCATION AMONG HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS. I AM WORRIED THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH IS A HAZARD IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. I CAN IMAGINE SHARDS OF PLASTIC CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO THE PASSENGER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE DASH IS BETWEEN $1,000-$1,500. THERE ARE MEMBERS OF THE FACEBOOK GROUP WHO HAVE HAD 3 DASHES REPLACED BECAUSE GM REFUSES TO FIX THE DEFECT. PLEASE REFER TO THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO WHERE IT SHOWS THE CRACKS ON SEVERAL GMC AND CHEVY AUTOS. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=3IKSCKLF7G8 PLEASE SEE THE FACEBOOK GROUP FOR MORE CONFIRMATION AND INFORMATION ON THE DEFECT. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/251892298253/ CURRENTLY THE NHTSA HAS 98 COMPLAINTS FILED ONLINE RELATING TO THE DASH CRACKS, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION. HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/OWNERS/SEARCHVEHICLES ALSO MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME UP AND THEY TELL ME THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM AND I ASKED IF THE CRACK IN THE DASH ON AIR BAG AFFECTS THAT AND THEY ALSO REPLIED THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT THE CODE JUST SAYS SOMEWHERE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING BRAKES. *JB

THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING AND CONTINUES TO INCLUDING PORTIONS NEAR AND AROUND THE AIRBAGS. *TR

THERE ARE 2 CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE CRACK IS 2" LONG, NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE OTHER CRACK IS 7" LONG, DRIVER SIDE, "HUMP" ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM TO SEE IF ITS AN ANOMALY. IT ISN'T. I AM A MEMBER OF A FACEBOOK GROUP WHO HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR TAHOES AND SIMILAR MODELS. PLEASE REFER TO THIS LINK FOR A VISUAL HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=3IKSCKLF7G8&LIST=FLJGA62LGTEUQUMON7FZVC0Q&INDEX=40 PLEASE SEE FACEBOOK GROUP BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION AND BACKGROUND AS WELL HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/251892298253/ IT WOULD APPEAR THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE CRACKS ARE IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION AMONGST HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF CONSUMERS. I AM WORRIED THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH IS A HAZARD IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. THE COST TO REPLACE THE DASH IS BETWEEN $1,000-$1,500. *TR

CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. JUST CONCERNS LIKE SO MANY OTHER GM CUSTOMERS. THERE IS A CRACK THAT IS AT THE AIRBAG, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THAT KEEPS GETTING BIGGER. CONCERNED THAT AIRBAG MIGHT DEPLOY, OR NOT WORK AT ALL. HAVE CONTACTED GM CORPORATE SEVERAL TIMES TELLING THEM ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING IN THIS SAME AREA. WHEN CONTACTING GM THEY TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE COMPLAIN ONLINE. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN BY USING ARMORALL, IN THAT CASE THE WHOLE CONSOLE WOULD BE CRACKED AND NOT IN CERTAIN PLACES WHERE ALL OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE SEEING THE SAME EXACT CRACKS. ACTUALLY THE ENTIRE CONSOLE IS AFFECTED WITH SEVERAL CRACKS. IF GM WAS NOT AWARE, HOW COME SOME OF THEIR CUSTOMERS CONSOLES HAVE BEEN CHANGED OUT BY THE DEALERSHIP? MORE THAN ONCE. THEY TELL ME BECAUSE OF THE MODEL AND THE MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT QUALIFY. THIS IS A MATERIAL ISSUE PLUS A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT AFFECTS THE STABILITY OF AN AIRBAG. THERE ARE EVEN VIDEOS ON U TUBE THAT SHOWS A VISUAL PICTURE. *TR

UPON INSPECTION OF THE DASHBOARD IT HAS CRACKED BOTH ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE LEFT SIDE AND AT THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THIS CRACKS ANY WORSE THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY AND INJURE A PASSENGER OR IT MAY CAUSE THE STEERING COLUMN TO MALFUNCTION IF THE DASHBOARD FALLS. CHEVY SHOULD BE RECALLING THIS SO THAT NO ONE IS INJURED. *TR

MY DASH IS CRACKING IN TWO PLACES ABOVE MY AIRBAGS. THE CRACKS ARE CAUSING MY DASH TO BULGE. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT NUMEROUS 2007 TAHOE'S AND YUKON'S ALL HAVE DASH CRACKS IN THE SAME AREAS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY HELP. I AM WORRIED IT WILL AFFECT MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. *TR

THE DASH HAS CRACKED BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I AM AFRAID IF THE BAG DEPLOYS IT WILL THROW THE PIECE AS A PROJECTILE AND HIT THE PASSENGER. MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, GM IS SELECTIVELY ASSISTING IN REPAIR. I WAS INFORMED THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE I HAVE AN AFTERMARKET RADIO AND ALARM, NEITHER OF WHICH IS ANYWHERE NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

THE DASH HAS MAJOR CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG AND ON TOP OF THE DASH IN THE AREA OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN APRIL 2010, HAD THE DASH REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY APPROXIMATELY SEPT/OCT 2010. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN AUGUST 2012. SAME CRACKS IN DASH AROUND AIRBAG. I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF THESE CRACKS COMPROMISE THE AIRBAG IN ANY WAY. OR IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WILL THE DASH PIECES BECOME AIRBORNE PROJECTILES. HAVE SPOKEN WITH GM AND WHILE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DASH CRACKING, THEY DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A DEFECT IN THE DASH. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH PROVIDES SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THESE SAME CRACKS OCCURRING IN MANY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOES, AVALANCHES, AND 2007 GMC YUKONS. YES, I COULD PAY TO HAVE A NEW DASH INSTALLED BUT IT WILL BE THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART THAT WILL CRACK AGAIN CAUSING THE SAME SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

2007 CHEVY TAHOE. DASHBOARD CRACKED AROUND AIRBAGS. CONCERNED THAT AIR BAGS MAY NOT FOR PROPERLY OPERATE IF NEEDED. GM RUFUSES TO ANYTHING ABOUT. I SEE THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AMONG TAHOE OWNERS PER CUSTOMER BLOGS. *TR
