2013 Chevrolet Tahoe AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I have a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. It is one of the thousands of which the plastic dash has cracked into pieces.My concern is that the loose plastic will hurt someone if the airbag is deployed. GM Should have never used such flimsy plastic on the dashes of so many vehicles.

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN MARCH 2021 OF A GM RECALL N212328800. I PROMPTLY CONTACTED MY GM DEALER. MY GM DEALER ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART & WE DROPPED OFF THE CAR. AN HOUR LATER, WE WERE TOLD THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETE & WE ARRIVED TO PICK UP THE CAR. WHEN SIGNING THE PAPERWORK, WE NOTICED A NOTE INDICATING THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED ON ARRIVAL. WE IMMEDIATELY WENT OUT TO THE CAR AND FOUND 2 CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT CRACKED ON ARRIVAL. I HAD JUST WIPED OFF THE DASH THAT MORNING PRIOR TO BRINGING THE CAR TO THE DEALER. WE TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO SAID THEY TOOK PICTURES AND HAD VIDEO. WE ASKED TO SEE SAID PICTURES AND VIDEO & ONCE THEY WENT LOOKING FOR THEM, THEY TOLD US THEY DID NOT SAVE FOR SOME REASON. WE PUSHED THE ISSUE FURTHER WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER. THEY REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CRACKED DASH THAT OCCURRED DURING THE AIRBAG REPAIR. THEY REFUSED TO FIX MY DASHBOARD. THEY DID NOT TELL US AT ANY POINT PRIOR TO THE REPAIR THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF HAZARD THIS MAY BE TO US IN THE FUTURE BUT THE RESALE VALUE JUST TOOK A HIT.I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR SIMILAR TYPES OF DAMAGE FROM THIS TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I AM FOLLOWING PROTOCOL BY REPORTING THIS TO YOU.

MY 2013 TAHOE HAS CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD OVER THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE PASSENGER SEAT SIDE. THERE ARE PICTURES ATTACHED. THE CRACKS JUST HAPPENED. I HAVE REPORTED THIS BEFORE, NOTHING HAPPENED. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I HAVE TAKEN TO GET IT FIXED BUT COST IS OUTRAGEOUS. I HAVE ORDERED TWO DASH COVERS NEITHER MATCHED. NOW BY FRONT DOORS (BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE) PULL HANDLES ARE FALLING PART. EVERY TIME YOU PULL THE DOOR SHUT IT PINCHES YOUR FINGERS OR SLIPS AND YOU ALMOST FALL DOWN. EVERY UNSAFE. THIS WAS MY DREAM CAR. MY HUSBAND HAS OWNED SEVERAL TAHOES THAT HE USES IN IS BUILDING BUSINESS, HE DOES NOT BABY IS VEHICLES AND HIS INTERIOR COULD BE CLEANED UP AND LOOK LIKE NEW AND IT'S A 2004 WITH ALMOST 300,000 MILES ON IT. MY INTERIOR RATTLES AND LOOKS SO CHEAP. I AM 66 YEARS OLD. I CAN NOT AFFORD A NEW TAHOE OR A USED ONE THEY ARE WAY TO EXPENSIVE IF THESE PROBLEMS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN. I TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS AGO TO GET AN ESTIMATE ON THE PARTS AND LABOR. I VOTED THE PARTS QUOTE BUT HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE LABOR. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO BUY THE ENTIRE DOOR PANELS. I AM ASHAMED TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN IT, BECAUSE IT RATTLES AND LOOKS HORRIBLE. I AM AFRAID IT THE CRACK OVER THE STEERING MAY CAUSE SOME ELECTRICAL OR SOME OTHER PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE TO THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE FRIENDS WITH THE EXACT PROBLEMS. I WOULD CONSIDER BUYING ANY ELSE, BUT WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CHEVY FANS. I DON'T KNOW NOW?

DASH HAS CRACKED OVER THE LAST YEAR AROUND THE AIRBAG AND CONCERN IS THAT PIECES COULD BECOME SHRAPNEL IN CASE OF A DEPLOYMENT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MY 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE PUTTING THE PASSENGER AT RISK DURING AN ACCIDENT. SINCE THE CRACK RUNS DOWN TO THE AIRBAG IT COULD POSSIBLE SHATTER THE PLASTIC AND DAMAGE PASSENGERS. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND THAT INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THIS UNSAFE DASH. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS.

I HAVE A 2013 CHEVY TAHOE Z71 WITH APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF THREE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE OTHER TWO ARE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THE DASH MYSELF AND PAY OUT OF POCKET.

THIS VEHICLE HAS 55,680 MILES AND THE UPPER LEFT CORNER NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS CRACKED. BECAUSE OF THIS DASH CRACK, THE AIR BAG COVER IS LIFTED. CHEVY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. WELL, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE NOT TO MENTION THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINT OF 2007-2013 CHEVY DASHED CRACKING.

DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS CRACKING AND EXTENDING UPWARDS TOWARDS THE DRIVER. CONSISTENTLY RATTLES WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. CRACK IS ALSO VISIBLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LEADING TOWARDS THE AIRBAG. BOTH CRACKS WERE NOTICED WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

CRACKED DASHBOARD BOUGHT MY 2013 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. HAS ONLY 98000 MILES ON IT. JUST NOTICED A CRACK AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE DASHBOARD, RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. TWO WEEKS LATER, ANOTHER CRACKED APPEARED ON THE DRIVER SIDE, FROM THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD AND CONTINUED UP AND OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HUMP. BOTH CRACKS APPEARED WHILE STATIONARY. THIS VEHICLE IS PRIMARILY GARAGED AND HAS A WINDSHIELD COVER. VERY DISAPPOINTED, SINCE THE NEW RETAIL OF THIS VEHICLE IS CLOSE $50,000 BRAND NEW AND COSTS OVER $1000 TO REPLACE AT THE DEALER. NOT TO MENTION, THIS IS OUR PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE, WHICH MY WIFE, 7 YO, 4 YO AND 6 MONTH OLD RIDE IN ON A DAILY BASIS.

MY DASH BOARD CRACKED IN THE TWO PLACES MY AIR BAGS ARE LOCATED. IT JUST CRACKED FOR NO REASON ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES

THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE WHERE HANDLE IS. VERY VERY DISGUSTED AT ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH MY VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS NEW

MY DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF ON DRIVER SIDE TWICE AND MY OTHER THREE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL. VERY CHEAPLY MADE. VERY DISAPPOINTED I DID NOT GET WHAT I PAID FOR THAT'S FOR SURE. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE AT 48,000!

I OWN A 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE. LAST WEEK, I NOTICED MULTIPLE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG; THEY SEEMED TO HAVE APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT BEFOREHAND THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FROM THE LAST TIME I HAD USED IT, TO THE NEXT TIME I ENTERED MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE DASHBOARD CRACKS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO PRESTON CHEVROLET, A NEARBY GM DEALERSHIP, AND I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. MANAGER THAT THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS NOT A COMMON OCCURRENCE, ALTHOUGH HE HAD SEEN IT IN THE PAST.. HE FURTHER ADVISED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN OR PROVIDE ANY SORT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ME IN HAVING THE DEFECTIVE, DAMAGED DASHBOARD REPAIRED. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND THAT IT IS QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM, AND WHAT'S MORE, THAT CHEVY TAHOE'S ARE THE 'COMMON DENOMINATOR.' I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN MISLEAD BY PRESTON CHEVROLET. I'VE SINCE CONTACTED GM AND I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM A "SENIOR CASE ADVISOR." I AM PRIMARILY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. IN THE EVENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION, I AM CERTAIN THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD BE HURTLED INTO THE AIR, BECOMING DANGEROUS PROJECTILES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR HARM, NOT TO MENTION THE POOR AESTHETIC APPEARANCE AND OVERALL DEVALUATION OF MY VEHICLE THAT THE FRACTURES HAVE CAUSED. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I FEEL I AM OWED REPAIR AND/OR RESTITUTION FROM GM AS A RESULT.

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND A SUN VISOR USED WHEN PARKED IN THE SUN. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A COLLISION AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS HAVE EVER DEPLOYED IN THIS VEHICLE. THE CRACK SEEMS COSMETIC BUT GIVEN THE LOCATION, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
