MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD

THE DASH BOARD HAS A CRACK RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIR BAG ALSO ABOVE THE GAUGES. MY WORRY IS IF THE AIR BAG GOES OFF THE PLASTIC FROM THE DASH WILL POP UP AND PUT A HOLE IN THE AIR BAG. WHICH WILL THEN DEFLATE AND NO SERVE ITS PURPOSE. OR THAT PART OF THE DASH BOARD WILL BREAK OFF FROM THE IMPACT OF THE AIR BAG AND WILL HURT SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTACT. ME FOR PHOTOS IT IS SAYING THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD. THANK YOU *TR

2007 CHEVY TAHOE, DASH HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE CRACK IS IN THE LEFT CORNER AT THE AIRBAG (COMPLETE CRACK TOP TO BOTTOM). THE SECOND IS AT THE LEFT SIDE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL (WITHIN 1 INCH BEING COMPLETELY CRACKED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM). THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE MATERIALS NOT ANY INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THIS TO CRACK. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND ALL DASH CRACKS ARE BASICALLY IN THE SAME AREA. VERY MUCH A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IF A CRASH OCCURRED. POSSIBLY COULD CAUSE SHATTERING OF THE DASH PIECES AND CAUSE INJURIES OR POSSIBLY INTERFERE WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

MY DASHBOARD CRACKED AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY AIRBAGS. I GUESS A LOT OF THE CHEVY TAHOES HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARD CRACKING. *TR

ABOUT COUPLE MONTHS AGO WE NOTICE ABOUT AN 8 INCH LONG CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE CLUSTER DRIVER SIDE. AND I FIRST THOUGHT IT HAD TO BE SUN DAMAGE. SO PRETTY BUM ABOUT IT. THEN RECENTLY ABOUT A WEEK AGO WATCHING THE LOCAL NEWS ON TV. THERE WAS A SIMILAR ISSUE ABOUT CRACK DASHBOARDS. AND THEN CHECKING ON THIS WEBSITE THERE'S MULTIPLE VERY IDENTICAL ISSUES. SO NOW IN HOPE THERE'S A RECALL COMING SOON. AND ALSO NOTICE THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES THE CHROME IS COMING APART LEAVING REALLY SHARP EDGES. SO I NOTICE THERE'S SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS DOOR HANDLES. *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 IS WHAT 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 BEING SENT AT ME... *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AROUND THE AIR BAG HAS CRACKED SIGNIFICANTLY AND THE AREA ON EITHER SIDE OF THE AIR BAG COVER ARE BOWING UP. IT APPEARS THAT WHERE IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF THE DASHBOARD FRAGMENTING IF THE AIR BAG WERE TO BE DEPLOYED. *TR

MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AIRBAG. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH PIECES BRAKING OFF IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO GO OFF IN A ACCIDENT. *TR

UPON PURCHASING MY 2007 TAHOE USED I NOTICED 2 CRACKS ON DASHBOARD. THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS CRACKED AT CORNER OF AIRBAG WHICH IS CONCERNING DUE TO AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SHARDS OF PLASTIC COULD BE TURN ED INTO PROJECTILES. NOTICED THERE ARE MANY, MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES WITH IDENTICAL CRACKS AND LOCATIONS OF THEM. THANKS *TR

NOTICED CRACKS IN DASHBOARD. 1. ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER APPROX.6 " VERTICAL TO DRIVER , 2ND IS AT THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIR BAG. SAFETY CONCERN IS FLYING PROJECTILE (S) OF DASH PLASTIC TO DRIVER AND OR PASSENGERS IF AIR BAG(S) ARE DEPLOYED. *TR

I HAVE TWO CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. ONE IS HUGE OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE CONTROL CLUSTER AND THE SECOND, I BELIEVE, POSES A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. THE SECOND CRACK IS AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH THIS DEFECT AND IF IT DOES THE SHARP EDGES/SHARDS OF THE DASH WILL EITHER INJURE THE PASSENGER AND/OR OTHERS IN THE CAR, OR RIP THE AIRBAG MAKING IT USELESS. AIRBAGS ARE A LEGAL REQUIREMENT. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY FORUMS AND PAGES REGARDING THE CHEVY TAHOE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. I REALLY BELIEVE GM/CHEVY SHOULD ORDER A RECALL. I ALSO HAVE A MINOR CLAIM ABOUT THE RUBBER ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PAINT ON THE STEREO/CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTONS. ALL OF WHICH IS PEELING OFF. I HAVE ALSO SEE HUNDREDS OF WRITINGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING WHEEL AND STEREO/CLIMATE CONTROL. AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED ON THE NEW ITEMS. I PAID WAY TO MUCH FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE DOING THIS. I ALSO HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF GETTING A NEW CAR; HOWEVER, AS THEY PROBLEM PERSIST, ESPECIALLY THE SAFETY ISSUES. I JUST MAY BE FORCED TO . *TR

THERE ARE TWO CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG AREAS. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN! WONDERING IF IT WILL AFFECT MY AIRBAGS FROM WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. THIS CRACK IS DIRECTLY BESIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IS ABOUT 1-2 INCHES LONG. THE OPPOSITE END OF THE CRACK (NOT CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG) HAS SPLINTERED OFF INTO MORE THAN JUST ONE CRACK. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED, WILL THIS CAUSE SHATTERING AND DEBRIS TO FLY INTO THE FACE OF MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF? *TR

GAPING CRACK THAT RUNS INTO AIR BAG AREA, THE EXACT SAME AS THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS ISSUE - GOOGLE SEARCH GM YUKON AND TAHOE CRACKED DASH GROUPS. *TR

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE NEAR AIRBAGS. MY FEAR IS THAT DUE TO THAT THE AIRBAGS WONT FUNCTION PROPERLY. *TR

MY DASH CRACKED, ON IT'S OWN. I'M SURE THIS HAS TO EFFECT MY AIRBAG FUNCTIONALITY. I HAVE A HUGE CRACK ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKS WITH SHARP EDGES AROUND AIRBAG CAUSING NOISY AIRBAG AREA VIBRATION AND SEPARATION FORM DASHBOARD, IT IS SCARY THING TO HAVE WHEN MY WIFE OR ONE OF THE KIDS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. *TR
