2010 Chevrolet Tahoe AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I wanted to express a concern regarding my vehicle. There are several wires exposed on my dashboard where multiple cracks have developed over time. I have been hesitant to bring the vehicle in for the airbag recall replacement because I am concerned that the existing damage to the dashboard could worsen during the repair process. My primary worry is that additional cracking could expose more wiring to heat, which may increase the risk of electrical issues, wire corrosion, or even a potential fire hazard. I would appreciate any guidance on how this situation could be addressed safely while completing the necessary recall work. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your advice on the best next steps.

The dashboard has cracked and split around the passenger side airbag. The sharp edges of the plastic could be a hazard in an accident. The edges are very sharp.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 IN 2011 AND THE DASH CRACKED IN 2012. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TWICE AND CHEVY WILL STILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS POOR QUALITY AND MANUFACTURING. A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND HAD NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SHOULD NOT HAVE COSMETIC DAMAGE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE COMPANY. MY TRUCK WAS WORTH 48,000 AT THE TIME AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A REPAIR CAUSED BY POOR QUALITY OF THEIR MATERIALS. NOW MY VEHICLE IS 9 YEARS OLD AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN MY SON WAS DRIVING.... THERE WAS NO WRECK OR IMPACT WITH ANYTHING AND THEY DEPLOYED. THE QUALITY USED BY CHEVY IS TERRIBLE AND I DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING ANYTHING ELSE FROM A COMPANY THAT SELLS OVER PRICED VEHICLES WITH CHEAP AND FAULTY PARTS THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN AN ONGOING, UNRESOLVABLE ISSUE SINCE IT BEGAN. THE DEALER HAS NO INSIGHT AS TO WHEN, IF EVER, IT WILL BE FIXED. THEY SAY TO KEEP WATCHING THE NHTSA/GM BOARDS FOR UPDATES. OTHER ISSUE IS THE DASHBOARD & ITS CRACKING. I HAD FILED WITH THE NHTSA IN 2017 WITH THE ORIGINAL CRACK THAT HAPPENED BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG (YOUR TRACKING NUMBER ASSIGNED BY NHTSA FOR THIS ISSUE IS 10939141), BUT AM ADDING THIS SITE NOW. ADDITIONALLY, THE DASH HAS CRACKED BEHIND THE DRIVER'S "POD", CONNECTIONS HAVE LET LOOSE FOR THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE DASH ALLOWING IT TO FLAP OVER BUMPS & THE LATEST IS THE NEW METALLIC RATTLE THAT HAS BEGUN SOMEWHERE BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/DASH AREA. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY CRACKING OFF OF SHARDS, BUT AS THE TRUCK WAS REGULARLY GARAGED, PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE AT WORK, & NOW IN A CARPORT, IT'S FRUSTRATING TO HAVE THINGS OCCUR WITHOUT THE BLAZING SUN TO CONTRIBUTE. UNLIKE OTHERS, I HAVEN'T HAD MAJOR CUTS OR FLYING PIECES, JUST SMALL CUTS TO FINGERS WHEN I FORGETFULLY AM WIPING DOWN THE DASH. I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AS THINGS HAVE PROGRESSED ON THE DASH & INITIALLY THEY SAID IT WAS UNFORTUNATE & TO WATCH THE ORIGINAL ONE (PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA), BUT AS THERE ARE NOW MORE ISSUES WITH THE DASH, THEY SAY TO TAKE IT UP WITH GM DIRECTLY. I HAVEN'T STARTED THAT PROCESS YET, BUT AS THE AIRBAGS & THE DASH ARE A NEVER-ENDING ISSUE, I WILL MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO START.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2010 TAHOE HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS AND IS BROKEN ALL OVER FROM NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY PEOPLE WITH GM VEHICLES OF THIS NATURE AND THE COMPANY WON'T HELP ME REPAIR OR REPLACE MY DASH. I'M SCARED THAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THAT THE AIRBAGS WONT DEPLOY OR IF THEY DO, IT WILL BE WITH THOUSANDS OF DANGEROUS BROKEN PLASTIC CHARDS! I AM SEEKING HELP IN THIS MATTER SO THAT THE COMPANY CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR PRODUCT HAS FAULTS AND IS PUTTING CONSUMERS IN RISK OF SERIOUS HARM AND INJURY.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEV TAHOE THAT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. MY DASH BOTH FRONT AND BACK HAS CRACKS. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY TAHOE WHICH YOU CAN TELL BY THE CONDITION IT IS IN BOTH OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. IN FACT, I STILL HAVE THE PLASTIC PROTECTOR COVER OVER THE LENS ON THE RADIO. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THE DASHES. ALSO, MY AIR BAG MADE BY TAKATA NEEDS TO BE REPLACED!!! I HAVE SPOKEN WITH DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA AND BOTH OF THESE 2 THINGS HAVE BEEN A BIG CONCERN WITH CUSTOMERS. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS!

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY 2010 CHEVY TAHOE.

TAKATA RECALL. ITS BEEN A YEAR SINCE GETTING ANY NEW INFORMATION ON THIS PARTICULAR RECALL AND NOW MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKING!!! CALLED ALL CHEVY DEALERS IN HONOLULU AND ITS GOING TO COST AN ARM AND A LEG TO GET MY DASHBOARD CHANGED!!! VERY UNACCEPTABLE THAT GM WON'T FIX THIS PROBLEM. I JUST FINSISHED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOW THIS HAPPENS!!!! COME ON GM, FESS UP TO THIS PRPBLEM!!!!!

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CHEV TAHOE 2010 IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. I HEARD THE VERY LOUD POP SOUND WHEN IT CRACKED.

TAKATA RECALL - MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY TRUCK STATING THAT MAINTENANCE NEEDED TO BE PREFORMED. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, MY DASH CRACKED IN FRONT OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

BOUGHT MY TAHOE A YEAR AGO IN PERFECT CONDITION. I CLEAN IT 2 TO 3 TIMES A MONTH DUE TO HAVING 5 KIDS. LAST MONTH I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND HEARD A LOUD POP. THE NEXT TIME I CLEANED IT, IT HAD A CRACK TO THE RIGHT UPPER SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. 2 DAYS AGO I WAS CLEANING THE DASH AND THERE IS ANOTHER HUGE CRACK ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE AND SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS. I'VE ALWAYS OWNED CHEVY AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE! IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY BABIES BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, I'LL OWN GM. I'M SCARED TO HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. YOU SHOULD NEVER FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE OR UNSAFE DRIVING A $24,000 VEHICLE! TAKING TO DEALERSHIP TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WILL BE TO REPLACED AND HOW MUCH MORE MONEY I'LL HAVE TO ADD TO FIX A DEFECT THAT ISN'T MY FAULT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED OVER THE AIRBAG AND IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THERE WILL BE SHARDS OF PLASTIC PROPELLED AS SHRAPNEL THROUGHOUT THE CAR. THE CRACK APPEARED AFTER USING THE DEFROSTERS ON A COLD DAY. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE DASHBOARD NOR ANY WEIGHT PLACED ON IT. IT WAS JUST A "CRACK" SOUND AND IT APPEARED.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE IS CRACKED FROM ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL IN 3 AREAS TH THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.

DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA, CONCERNING ME THAT IF GOD FORBID AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED AND THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED ON PASSENGER SIDE, SHARDS OF THIS CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD BE DISPERSED INTO THE AREA, CAUSING POSSIBLE LACERATION OR FATAL HARM TO PASSENGER AND DRIVER. WHEN INVESTIGATING, I FOUND THIS TO BE VERY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL, WITH MANY MANY PEOPLE( THOUSANDS OF THEM) POSTING PICTURES AND DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE IN "THE EXACT SAME SPOTS"!!!!. ALSO, THE CRACKS SEEM TO HAPPEN OVER THE STEERING COLUMN IN ADDITION TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, CAUSING MORE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT DRIVING COMPONENTS COULD NOW BE EXPOSED TO DAMAGING HEAT AND ICE RAYS AFFECTING DRIVING SAFETY. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO GM DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED CAR, AND THEY HAVE IGNORED ME. I HAVE ALSO CALLED CORPORATE, AND THEY HAVE ALSO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 20,000 PEOPLE ON A WEB FORUM CALLED "CHANGE.ORG.", THAT HAVE EXPLAINED IDENTICAL CONCERNS FOR AIRBAG SAFETY WITH THESE CRACKING DASHBOARDS, AND THE PETITION HAS EVEN BEEN BROUGHT TO GM CEO ATTENTION. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILIES WELL-BEING AND LIVES, IF EVER I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THESE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. THE CRACKED DASHBOARD IN THAT AREA COULD BE A POTENTIAL LETHAL WEAPON CAUSING HARM. THANK YOU

DASHBOARD CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE AT UPPER LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG. SAFETY CONCERN SINCE PLASTIC IS CRACKED. CANNOT GET ANSWER ON TAKATA RECALL NOTICE.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS TWO SEVERE CRACKS...ONE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE OTHER BESIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS CRACK COULD INTERFERE WITH THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

DASHBOARD ON A 2010 TAHOE CRACKED IN 2014 NEAR THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IF AIR BAG WERE TO DEPLOY THE DASHBOARD COULD BECOME SHRAPNEL INJURING OCCUPANTS.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE CONNECTING TO THE AIR BAG AND ONE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. I NOTICED IT ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS AGO (OCTOBER 2015) AND ATTEMPTED TO GLUE IT...IT IS JUST GETTING WORSE AND THE CRACK OVER THE STEERING WILL IS GROWING.

THREE LARGE (AND GROWING) CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. ONE AROUND THE HOUSING OF THE AIRBAG. THE OTHER TWO ARE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. VERY CONCERNED THAT IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS, DASH MATERIAL FROM BROKEN PIECE MAY BECOME A PROJECTILE OR PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG NOT ALLOWING IT TO WORK. I SEE GM SAYS IT IS A KNOW DESIGN DEFECT BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. CHEVROLET DEALER TOLD ME IT IS #1 REPAIRED ITEM ON TAHOE.

DASHBOARD ABOVE SPEEDOMETER HUMP CRACKED. 6 MONTHS LATER A CRACK ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE BY AIRBAGS CRACKED. THE CRACKS ARE CONTINUALLY GETTING LONGER. A TOTAL OF 3 CRACKS.

MY DASH IS CRACKED IN 4 DIFFERENT PLACES. ONE CRACK EXTENDS TO THE AIRBAG AND I AM AFRAID IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY PIECES OF THE DASH WOULD BREAK OFF AND POTENTIALLY HIT SOMEONE. IT IS ALSO VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE IT RATTLES CONSTANTLY.

THE DASH AT THE CORNER OF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG CRACKED AND NOW THE ENTIRE DASH RATTLES. I AM WORRIED ABOUT HOW THIS AFFECTS THE AIRBAG NOW. THE DASH WAS VIBRATING SO MUCH AND IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND APPARENTLY, I AM NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP!

CRACKED DASH COULD AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS

CRACKED DASHBOARD. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE GM FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THE DANGER IS THE PLASTIC SHATTERING IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND BECAUSE OF THE MATERIAL DEFECT IN THE PLASTIC, LARGE SHARP SHARDS CAN BE SHOT INTO THE CABIN AREA IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS (SHRAPNEL).

I NOTICED THAT THE DASH IN MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ IS CRACKED ABOVE THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I ALSO HAVE READ WHERE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO LOT OF TAHOES , SUBURBANS AND YUKONS ETC. THIS SHOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE SPEND ON THESE VEHICLES . SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MY TAHOE STAYS GARAGE KEPT OUT OF THE SUN AND THIS STILL HAPPENED.
