2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Air Bags

AROUND 40,000 MILES THE DASH CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, I'M AFRAID IT WILL SEND FRAGMENTED PIECES OF DASH INTO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE CONCERNS WHETHER THE JAGGED EDGES OF PLASTIC COULD POTENTIALLY PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG UPON DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND CAN BE FOUND WITH COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. HERE IS ONE EXAMPLE: HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/AUTOMOTIVE/GM_TAHOE.HTML

TAHOE DASH IS CRACKING IN TWO SPOTS. THE FIRST IS ON THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. A VERY DANGEROUS SPOT FOR A JAGGED EDGE TO BE NEXT TO AN AIRBAG. THE 2ND IS A MUCH LARGER CRACK IN THE DASH THAT APPEARED A YEAR LATER OVER THE INSTRUMENT HUMP. I SEE MANY CASES OF TAHOE'S AND SUBURBAN'S ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I SEE ANOTHER TAHOE IN A PARKER LOT, I ALWAYS CHECK, AND 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES THEY HAVE THE SAME CRACKS IN THE SAME SPOTS. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY ASKED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED OUT. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $500 TO FIX. IT'S TIME FOR CHEVROLET TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY MESSED UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

DASH BOARD IS CRACKED ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AT PASSENGER AIR BAG. I FEAR THAT IF AIR BAGS WERE TO DEPLOY FRAGMENTS OF DASH WILL BE SENT THROUGH CABIN CAUSING INJURIES TO PASSENGER AND DRIVER. CRACKS ARE SO BAD THAT CENTER OF DASH WHERE SPEAKER IS LOCATED JUST FLOPS WHILE DRIVING. TAHOE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE BOUGHT FROM DEALER IN 2011 AND I AM ORIGINAL OWNER.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE SEEN THIS ON EVERY TAHOE I LOOKED AT WHEN I WAS IN THE MARKET AND AM SHOCKED THAT GM HASN'T RECALLED THE PART OR THE NHTSA HASN'T FORCED GM TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. WHAT SCARES ME IS THAT THE BROKEN PLASTIC MIGHT PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG OR BE THROW IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO EVER DEPLOY.

THE DASHBOARD IT IS CRACKED WITH TWO MAJOR CRACKS. FEAR THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY WITHOUT COLLISION.

MY VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH ONE BY THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ONE AT THE LEFT UPPER CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT MAY AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2012 AND IT HAS 83,000 MILES ON IT. GM IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND REPLACE THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED NEAR THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH APPEAR TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT MAY CUT OR IMPAIR THE PROPER INFLATION OF THE AIRBAG.

THE DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS. THE FIRST CRACK, EXTENDING FROM FRONT TO BACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FROM THE FRONT EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD BACK INTO THE COVER (LEFT FRONT CORNER) OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, APPEARED THE WEEK OF JUNE 29, 2015. THE SECOND CRACK BEGAN APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS LATER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF DASHBOARD. IT STARTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DOME PORTION COVERING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACK PROGRESSED APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 INCHES AND SPLIT INTO A "V" SHAPE AND IS CONTINUING UP THE DOME. OUR SAFETY CONCERNS ARE TWOFOLD. FIRST, IS THE CRACK AT THE AIRBAG GOING TO INTERFERE WITH IT'S PROPER FUNCTION OR PIERCE IT UPON DEPLOYMENT. SECOND, IF WE'RE INVOLVED IN A WRECK, WILL THE SHARP POINTS OF PLASTIC DASH INVOLVED IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE CRACK CAUSE INJURIES IF THE FORCES OF A COLLISION TURN THEM INTO PROJECTILES. THIS PROBLEM WITH GM/CHEVY DASHBOARDS IS WIDESPREAD AND IT MUST BE ADDRESSED AND RECTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED DUE TO THE COMPANY'S NEGLIGENCE.
