2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Structure

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED STARTING WITH THE LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND CONTINUES ACROSS THE DASH ALL THE WAY TO THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING COLUMN. A SMALL PIECE NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FELL INTO THE DASH AND WE ARE CONCERNED THAT IT COULD BECOME A PROJECTILE IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. THE CRACK APPEARED SUDDENLY AND HAS WORSENED OVER TIME. PARKING/STORING CONDITIONS OF THE VEHICLE HAVE VARIED OVER TIME AND NO SPECIFIC INCIDENT THAT WE ARE AWARE OF CAUSED THE CRACK.

THE DASH BOARD CRACKED AFTER BEU6NG PARKED OUTSIDE FOR NO MORE THAN 4 HOURS.

DASH CRACKING ABOVE GAUGE CLUSTER AND AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. CONCERNED THAT IF PIECES WOULD COME LOOSE IN AN ACCIDENT IT COULD IMPEDE ON THE PROTECTION FROM THE AIRBAG.

GARAGE KEPT TAHOE HAS CRACKED DASHBOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IF CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC COULD INJURE PASSENGERS. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN GM VEHICLES. GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD.

DASHBOARD AROUND AIRBAG CRACKING INTO PIECES EXPOSING INTERNAL COMPONENTS. NO ACCIDENTS, WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE. ON LINE SEARCH SHOWS " COMMON PROBLEM". LEFT AND RIGHT DASH CRACKS THRU AND THRU PLASTIC.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ON PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE. COULD PUNCTURE AIRBAG IN EVENT OF A CRASH.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES. ONE LOCATION IS RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE OTHER IS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN PLASTIC BREAKING FREE AND BECOME FLYING PROJECTILES WITHIN THE CABIN. LIKE MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED, GARAGE KEPT, AND IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THE WAY THAT GM DESIGNED THE DASHBOARDS AND THE MATERIALS USED FOR THE DASHBOARDS ARE THE REASON FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT INTERIOR CHROME DOOR HANDLE HAS BEGUN PEELING WHICH RESULTS IN A SHARP EDGE ON THE DOOR HANDLE WHICH RESULTS IN MINOR CUTS ON HUMAN HANDS WHEN A PERSON PULLS ON THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE EXPERIENCED WITH 2007 CHEVY TAHOE WHICH RESULTED IN NHTSA EA 10004. NHTSA EA 10004 RESULTED IN CHEVROLET EXTENDING WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE FOR 100,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH 2010 TAHOE AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS MODEL WITHOUT NHTSA ENFORCEMENT. THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT HANDLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN 2012. GM FIXED THAT HANDLE FOR FREE BECAUSE CAR WAS UNDER 36,000 MILE / 3 YEAR WARRANTY. ONLINE SEARCH REVEALS THAT OTHER POST- 2007 MODEL TAHOE OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE. SINCE ISSUE IS WITH DOOR HANDLE, VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN DOOR HANDLE IS USED.

TAKATA RECALL I JUST NOTICE A CRACK ON THE LEFT TOP SIDE OF MY DASHBOARD A DAY AFTER I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO GET SERVICE AT BICAL CHEVROLET DEALER. I RETURN TO GET ANSWERS AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THESE TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I CALL CHEVROLET GM (CASE # 8-2129107909) AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HEARING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WILL NO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. PERSONALLY I THINK THIS IS WRONG AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR SOME TYPE OF REPAIR FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE CURRENTLY CRACK IN THE SAME PLACES ON THE DASHBOARD ESPECIALLY LONG SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT MY DASHBOARD WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2010 TAHOE CRACKED AROUND 55K MILES IN 2015 WHILE DRIVING. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS DEFECT IS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF VIBRATION/USAGE OF VEHICLE, SINCE MOST NOTICE DAMAGE AFTER 50K MILES REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG THEY'VE OWNED IT OR ITS EXPOSURE TO THE SUN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL RATTLING NOISE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

UPDATED 1/20/2016 *SS UPDATED4/25/18*JB *TR

AT 60,000 MILES VEHICLE DEVELOPED A CRACKED DASH NEAR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. APPROXIMATELY 4,000 MILES LATER A SECOND CRACK HAS APPEARED FORWARD OF THE GAUGE CLUSTER AND IS GROWING. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN IF PIECES OF SHARP PLASTIC FLY LOOSE AND CAUSE INJURY.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND GM REFUSES TO REPLACE IT. ONE MAJOR CRACK IF FROM THE AIRBAG COVER FORWARD. I AM IN FEAR OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AND PIECES OF PLASTIC DASH FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I AM ONE OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE THESE CRACKS BUT GM IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED AT THE TOP DRIVER SIDE NEXT TO THE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PETITION FOR A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

DASHBOARD HAS NUMEROUS CRACKS. THERE ARE SEVERAL AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND DIRECTLY ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IF IT CONTINUES, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL BE SPLIT IN TWO. *TR

DASH IS CRACKED... CENTER DASH BOUNCES AND RATTLES DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF CENTER SPEAKER. *TR

DASH HAS CRACKED FROM MIDDLE TO TOP ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. DASH IS CRACK ON 2 CORNERS OF IN-DASH AIR BAG WHICH COULD CAUSE THE DASH TO COME APART AND SHARP PIECES BE THROWN TOWARD THE PASSENGER IF THE AIR BAD DEPLOYED. THIS IS THE 2ND DASH ON THE SAME VEHICLE TO CRACK THE FIRST TIME WAS IN 2011 AS WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

MAJOR CRACKS (3) ON DASHBOARD.....ONE IS OVER 8 INCHES POOR QUALITY!!! I WAS THINKING BUYING A PICK UP SILVERADO TRUCK BUT NOT WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR

AS I WAS RIDING DOWN THE INTERSTATE I HEARD A LOAD POP OR CRACKING SOUND. I LOOKED AROUND THE VEHICLE AND COULDN'T FIND WHERE IT CAME FROM. WHEN I GOT HOME I INSPECTED IT A BIT FURTHER AND FOUND THAT THE DASH HAD CRACKED RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SAME SOUND OCCURRED AND I NOTICED A CRACK BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T BIG I WAS CONCERNED. JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT....ANOTHER POP. THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD EXTENDED IN LENGTH. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT CHEVROLET REGARDING THE ISSUE BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A LONG HOLD TIME. THE REASON THAT THIS CONCERNS ME NOW IS THAT IN NOVEMBER I WAS T-BONED AT AN INTERSECTION AND PUSHED INTO A CURB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE THE AIR BAD DID NOT DEPLOY. NOW I WONDER IF IT HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND IF THE CRACK WAS THE CAUSE. CONSIDERING THE AGE, THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AND THE FACT THAT WE TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF OUR $30,000 INVESTMENT YOU WOULD THINK THAT CHEVY WOULD STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY/DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *TR

MY OLDEST SON BOUGHT A 2010 TAHOE. I LOVED IT AND APPARENTLY MADE A MISTAKE WHEN I TRADED IN MY TOYOTA FOR A 2010 TAHOE. LAST YEAR OUR YOUNGEST SON AND HIS WIFE ALSO PURCHASED A TAHOE (2011). ALL THREE HAVE DASHBOARDS THAT ARE NOW CRACKING. OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT. IS GM GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? FROM WHAT I AM READING IT APPEARS TO BE A NATIONWIDE ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THE CRACK IN MY DASH IS RIGHT ABOVE THE AIRBAG. *TR

NOT SURE IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I HAVE HAD AREAS OF CRACKING ON THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE HAVE THIS CONDITION WITH ONLY 45000 MILES ON IT AND THE FACT THAT IT IS GARAGED FREQUENTLY. THERE IS ALSO PEELING OF SOME TYPE OF COATING IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

DASH IS STARTING TO CRACK ON PASSENGER SIDE (LEFT FRONT AREA OF AIRBAG). THIS SUV IS A 2010 CHEVY TAHOE LS. VEHICLE HAS AROUND 71K MILES. WANTED TO CHECK TRANSMISSION LEVEL, BUT TRANSMISSION DIP STICK AND TUBE COME TOGETHER OFF FROM TRANSMISSION. CHECKED UNDER SUV, FOUND TRANSMISSION TUBE POPPED OUT. THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS TRANSMISSION TUBE IS BROKEN. I WAS ABLE TO POP TRANSMISSION TUBE BACK IN. ALSO LEFT REAR AND TIGHT FRONT INNER CHROME DOOR HANDLE ARE STARTING TO PEEL OFF. PLAN TO TAKE TO CHEVY DEALER, TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS CONCERNS. *TR

THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE FROM THE SCREW HOUSING AND NOT THE HANDLE ITSELF. CHEVY'S RESPONSE: PULL TOO HARD ON DOOR HANDLE, $ 200 REPAIR COST TO REPLACE HANDLE. THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED CRACKING AND RUNNING TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL. CHEVY'S RESPONSE: SOME TIME THE HEAT WILL DO THAT. $ 950 REPAIR COST FOR NEW DASHBOARD. MY TAHOE IS IN TOP SHAPE, WASHED TWICE A WEEK INSIDE AND OUT AND IS GARAGED? I DON'T KNOW WHY THE SIMPLE THINGS ARE SO CHEAP? *TR

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE TOP PART OF THE DASH AND IT JUST KEEPS CRACKING. I A, SCARED ITS GOING TO AFFECT THE GAUGES AND AIRBAG, I USE A WINDSHIELD COVER SO I AM NOT SURE WHY THIS HAPPENED. I PAID WAY TO MUCH FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. BUT I HAVE SEEN WHERE MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM . *TR
