2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Structure

I HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE THE DASH CRACKS RIGHT NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH SPLITS THE DASH AND MAKES IT WEAKER.

I HAVE A LARGE CRACK IN MY DASH. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND DONE. IT JUST SPLIT.

CRACKED DASHBOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND LEFT UPPER PORTION OF PASSENGER SIDE DASH AIRBAG, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, CAME OUT ONE MORNING AND CRACKS SHOWED UP, ABOUT A MONTH WENT BY AND PIECES OF DASH STARTED BREAKING OFF DASHBOARD AND FALLING INSIDE DASH AREA

DASH CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND HEARD A 'POP' SOUND, STOPPED CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE DASH HAD CRACKED. I FEAR THAT PIECES OF THE DASH WOULD BE SENT FLYING IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE LIFTGAGE, EITHER MANUALLY OR BY PUSHING THE BUTTON, THE LIFTGATE OPENS PARTIALLY THEN SUDDENLY FALLS. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS, HOWEVER I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL SPECIFICALLY FOR A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. "THE AFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE GAS STRUTS THAT HOLD THE POWER LIFTGATE UP WHEN OPEN," SAID NHTSA IN ITS RECALL SUMMARY. "THESE STRUTS MAY PREMATURELY WEAR AND THE OPEN LIFTGATE MAY SUDDENLY FALL. IT MAY STRIKE A PERSON, INCREASING THEIR RISK OF INJURY."

DOOR LOCK WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, INCLUDING WHERE THE AIR BAG WAS LOCATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN AND GAUGES PANEL IS CRACKED ON TWO PLACES AND JUST KEEPS GETTING BIGGER. IT RATTLES LOUDLY AS I DRIVE DOWN THE STREET.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES ALTHOUGH THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS GARAGED AND THE SUN SHIELD USED CONSISTENTLY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AFFECTING SAFETY THROUGH AIRBAG PERFORMANCE OR SHARP PIECES OF DASH FLYING DURING AN ACCIDENT.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL.

MY VEHICLE DASH BOARD HAS A LOT OF CRACKS IN IT. I HAVE ONE NEAR MY AIRBAGS AND TWO NEAR MY STEERING WHEEL.IT RATTLES SO BAD WHEN I DRIVE. THE CRACKS KEEPS GETTING WORST.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG

DASH BOARD CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROS DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. CRACK CONTINUED UNTIL IT MET THE SEAMS OF DASHBOARD TO AIRBAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE COATING ON THE DOOR HANDLES BEGAN TO PEEL WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000. UPDATED 02/14/17*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD SEVERE FRACTURES ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA. THE FRACTURE EXTENDED AND CAUSED THE DASHBOARD TO SEPARATE FROM THE BASE, EXPOSING THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD FAILURE WAS NOT RECALLED. THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. UPDATED 04/14/16*LJ

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ON PASSENGER SIDE AROUND AIRBAG ALSO ON DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE STEERING COLUM. I HAVE 2 CRACKS ON EACH SIDE OF MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THE SAME MAKE,MODEL AND YEAR THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE AIRBAG AREA OF THE DASHBOARD. I REPORTED THIS TO GM IN MARCH 2016 AND THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. TODAY, THERE IS A NEW CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE DRIVERS SIDE NOW. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY 2007 CHEVY AVALANCHE, AND IN 2010, GM REPLACED IT WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. NOW WITH THE TAHOE, THEY REFUSE. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED UNDER A GARAGE AWNING AND WE NEVER USE ANYTHING BUT A DRY RAG TO CLEAN THE DASHBOARDS. THIS IS NO FAULT OF OURS, AND APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVY MANUFACTURING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE CLEANING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACE. THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED IN OUR 2011 CHEV. SILVERADO PICK UP.

DASH HAS CRACKED BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ALSO ON THE DRIVER SIDE AT THE JOINT AND CLIMBING TOWARDS THE STEERING HUMP. THE CRACKS SHOWED UP ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME. NO IMPACT TO THE DASH AND ONLY WIPE THEM DOWN WITH A DAMP CLOTH OR DUSTER.

DASH BOARD CRACK AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG. LEFT INSIDE UPPER CORNER. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT TIME IT HAPPENED. NO CHEMICAL HAVE BEEN USED ON DASH AND NO HEAVY OBJECTS HAVE EVER BEEN PLACED ON DASHBOARD. DASHBOARD HAS BECOME VERY UNSTABLE AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS PREMATURE DETERIORATION ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES OF THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HANDLES WERE FRAYING WITH SHARP EDGES. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE TWO FRONT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA10004 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGE, STRUCTURE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,700.

DASHBOARD CRAKED FROM ONE END OF THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE OTHER END OF THE DRIVERS SIDE. ITS BEING GOING ON OVER TIME, I CAN ONLY THINK IT HAPPENED WHEN IS STATIONARY. HOWEVER, IT MIGHT OF CRACKED WHEN DRIVING ASWELL.

I OWN A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE THAT THE DASH BOARD ALL OF A SUDDEN BEGAN SHOWING CRACKS, WITHIN A PEROID OF 3 MONTHS AFTER NOTICING, THESE CRACKS HAVE TRAVELED UP THE DASH BOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND AT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER. EVENTUALLY THE DASH WILL FALL COMPLETELY IN. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED, THE DASH IS SO BRITAL THAT FRAGMENTS OF THE DASH WILL CAUSE SEVERE CUTS, AND BODILY HARM WITH THE POSSIBILTY OF DEATH.

FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE PEELING PLASTIC WITH SHARP EDGES. A CHILD AND AN ADULT HAVE CUT THEIR HANDS OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE TO GET OUT. NO STITCHES REQUIRED BUT SEVERE CUT. I WENT TO SEE ABOUT REPLACEMENT. TOLD NOT CONSIDERED DEFECT AND THE SAME TYPE OF HANDLES WOULD BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $800. WHY WOULD ANYONE REPLACE THEM WHEN YOU KNOW THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH NEW HANDLES. THERE HAS GOT TO BE A BETTER SOLUTION FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR
