2007 Chevrolet Tahoe Structure

The driver side dash has a large crack that appeared all of a sudden. This is apparently an on going issue with many complaints filed due to cheap plastic parts.

My dashboard is severely cracked, I called GM to order a new dashboard and they don't have the parts. First this shouldn't happen, GM should own up to the issue and create a part that doesn't have the issue. Second they don't even have the existing part to fix the issue. I called a local dealership (Simi Valley Chevrolet) who wouldn't even give me the part numbers as they said it was against their policy to not give out part numbers. I don't know how a consumer is supposed to fix their vehicle with manufacturer who doesn't make a part any longer and a dealer who doesn't give the information to find another one.

The dashboard has multiple cracks back to front across its length. It could shatter in the event of an accident.

I PURCHASED MY TAHOE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AND IT ALREADY HAD A CRACKED DASH, BUT WAS MINOR. ONE SMALL CRACK BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND ONE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. SINCE THEN, IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG EXTENDS FROM THE AIRBAG PANEL TO THE EDGE OF THE DASH WHERE IT JOINS TO THE FRONT SECTION OF THE DASH. THE DRIVER SIDE CRACK EXTENDS FROM THE SAME EDGE, UP TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL, ALMOST TO THE EDGE CLOSEST TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN UTAH. IT WAS OWNED BY SOMEONE WHO LIVED IN THE NORTHEAST, THEN MOVED TO UTAH, AND THEN I MOVED TO KENTUCKY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS STARTED AND CONTINUES DESPITE THE LOCATION, OR THE TEMPERATURE. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE DUE TO NOT BEING SUPPORTED FROM THE UNDERSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCKS ON THE REAR DOORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES WERE UNABLE TO BE OPENED. THE LOCKS COULD ONLY BE OPENED WHEN THE REAR WINDOWS WERE LOWERED AND A PERSON HAD TO REACH IN FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOORS. HUBERT VESTER CHEVROLET (3717 RALEIGH RD PKWY W, WILSON, NC 27896, (252) 627-8085) STATED THAT THE ACTUATOR FOR THE LOCKS MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR THE LOCKS TO WORK PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE AND FOUND THAT IT WAS WIDESPREAD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000. *BF

DASH BOARD CRACKED IN SEVERAL AREAS. PIECES HAVE FALL OFF AND ARE VERY SHARP.

I CAME OUT OF MY HOUSE AND GOT IN MY TRUCK (2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ) YESTERDAY MORNING (1/15/2019). AFTER I STARTED MY TRUCK I HEARD STRANGE NOISES, AS IF SOMETHING WAS POPPING/CRACKING. I LOOKED AROUND INSIDE MY TRUCK BUT DIDN'T REALLY NOTICE ANYTHING BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING IN THE REAR, LEFT AND RIGHT OUT THE WINDOWS. I OPENED THE SUNROOF COVER & DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING, UNTIL I LOOKED DOWN AND SEEN TWO SEPARATE CRACKS ON TOP OF MY DASHBOARD. ONE LONG CRACK ABOUT 3 OR 4 INCHES LONG ON TOP OF MY DASHBOARD, OVERTOP OF MY GAUGES AND ANOTHER CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE AIRBAG ON TOP OF THE DASHBOARD ABOUT 1 INCH AND A HALF LONG. I DON'T KNOW HOW MY DASHBOARD CAN JUST CRACK ON ITS OWN, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT THERE DAYS BEFORE BECAUSE I HAD MY TRUCK DETAILED INSIDE/OUT AFTER BEING FULLY PAINTED. I CHECKED ONLINE DIDN'T SEE ANY RECALLS FROM GM FOR CRACKED DASHBOARDS ON 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE'S BUT I DO SEE A LOT OF RANDOM COMPLAINTS WERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON VARIOUS OF GM TRUCKS FROM 2007-2014.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN 2 OR 3 PLACES

TOP OF DASHBOARD ON DRIVER'S SIDE OF CAR CRACKED. IT WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO ANY UNUSAL PHYSICAL STRESS. CAR WAS NOT MOVING. WAS PARKED OUTSIDE AND TEMPERATURE WAS ABOVE FREEZING.

CRACKED DASH NEXT TO AIR BAG COMPARTMENT

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE DASH OF TAHOES. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER CHEVY TAHOE OWNERS OF VARIOUS YEARS WITH SAME EXACT ISSUE. THE DASH IS CRACKING AT THE AIRBAG LOCATIONS. AT WHAT POINT DOES THIS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE? IS IT ONLY AFTER AN INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS? THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE TAKA AIRBAG INFLATOR BUT WE REMAIN ON A "LIST" FOR REPAIRS. ANY SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD NOT TAKE THAT LONG TO BE REPAIRED. THE CRACKING IN THE DASH AT THE LOCATIONS OF THE AIRBAGS SHOULD ALSO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!

DASH IS CRACKED AND IS A SAFETY ISSUES

MY 2007 TAHOE LT THE IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES ONE AT AIR BAG THAT I FEEL IF I WAS HIT IN THAT TAHOE THAT WHEN THAT AIRBAG COMES OUT THE PEICES OF THE DASH WOULD HURT OR KILL MY WIFE OR KIDS EVERYONE I KNOW THEIR DASH PADS ARE THE SAME WAY EVEN THE ONES FOR SALE ON CAR LOTS ARE THE SAME WAY I DO KNOW THATIF NOT RECALL MY GM IF SOMEONE LOOSES THEIR LIFE OR KIDS LIFE OVER THE DASH PADS BEING A BAD PART BY GM I JUST HOPE AND PRAY THAT NO ONE GET HURT OR KILL IF IN A BAD CRASH IN THESE TAHOES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A SMALL CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRACK BECAME BIGGER DUE TO THE HEAT.

CRACKED DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. CRACK OCCURRED OVER NIGHT IN THE GARAGE, NOT MOVING AND HAS HAD NO ACCIDENTS, NEVER HAS BEEN OFF ROAD.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING EVERYWHERE. EVERYDAY GOES BIGGER AND BIGGER.

MY DASH BOARD HAS CRACKS.

MY TAHOE STILL LOOKS LIKE A NEW VEHICLE AND IS PAID FOR SO I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT BUT I AM SO CONCERNED WITH THE WAY THE DASH HAS CRACKED. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IS CRACKED IN 4 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. IN ONE SPOT YOU CAN LIFT THE DASH COMPLETELY OPEN. I HAVE 6 GRANDCHILDREN AND DO NOT LIKE HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT STRUCTURES IN MY VEHICLE POTENTIALLY INJURING THEM OR ANYONE ELSE THAT MAY GET INJURED FROM AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIR BAGS MAY BE DEPLOYED. YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE COMPANY WOULD RECALL SUCH A DEFECT BESIDES WAITING FOR A LAWSUIT FOR POSSIBLE INJURIES OR DEATH RELATED TO THIS ISSUE!!!! THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT UNDER A SHED AND DOESN'T GET DRIVEN THAT OFTEN. THE FIRST CRACKS NOTICE WERE WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY!!

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND FALLING APART

CRACKED DASHBOARD EVEN AFTER ONE REPLACEMENT
