MY DASH CRACKED OUT OF THE BLUE ONE DAY ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. IT STARTED OUT AS TWO SMALL CRACKS ON EACH SIDE OF THE TOP CENTER VENT BY THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE THE 2011 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ VERSION WITH A SPEAKER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. THE SPEAKER DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY SUPPORT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER AND THE DASH CRACKS HAVE NOW GROWN TOWARDS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ALSO BY THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CRACKS ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CENTER SPEAKER AND NOW THE SPEAKER JUST CONSTANTLY FLOPS UP AND DOWN WITH NORMAL DRIVING. THE FLOPPING SPEAKER WITH NO (SUPPORT) IS CAUSING THE CRACK TO GET WORSE AND WORSE. THE CRACKS ARE SPIDER WEBBING NOW AND GETTING MUCH LONGER EVERYDAY I DRIVE IT TO WORK. WHILE RESEARCHING WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE I DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT MULTIPLE GM MODEL VEHICLES HAVING CRACKED DASH BOARDS BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2007 AND 2014. THE DASH COVER OPTION BEING SUGGESTED TO HIDE THE CRACKS IS IN NO WAY A SAFE AND RELIABLE SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT INTERFERES WITH THE MANUFACTURERS AIRBAG SAFETY DESIGN AND AND SPECIFIED ASSURED CLEARANCE FOR DEPLOYMENT. THE COVERS DO NOT ADHERE TO THE RATED SPECIFICATION OF THE AIR BAG. ANYONE WHO HAS EVER WORKED IN A PLANT WHERE THE AIR BAGS ARE MANUFACTURED KNOWS HOW PRECISE AND SPECIFIC THESE STRICT GUIDELINES AND SPECIFICATIONS ARE HELD TO.

TAKATA RECALL- MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST TWO SUMMERS. THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PREFORMED A AIRBAG SCAN. I WAS TOLD NO CODES WERE PRESENT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS THEN RESET AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL RECENTLY. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE KNOWN POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEFLATORS. I LIVE IN HOUSTON TX WHERE THE SUMMERS HOT AND HUMID. I HAVE READ THAT THESE AREAS ARE AT GREATER RISK DUE TO ISSUES ARISING IN HOT AND HUMID CLIMATES. I PLAN ON BRINGING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON. I'M SURE I WILL BE TOLD THAT SINCE THE RECALL IS PENDING I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. I'M A FATHER OF TWO... DOES TAKATA WANT FAMILIES TO ROLE THE DICE WITH LOVED ONES LIVES WHILE PAPERWORK IS FILED OR PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE??? HOW MANY LIVES HAVE TO BE LOST BEFORE THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL?

I OWN A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. MY DASH BEGAN TO CRACK COMPLETELY FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY, GEORGE CHEVROLET IN BELLFLOWER CA, AND I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER JOSE. OF COURSE MY TAHOE IS INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL AND NO PARTS FOR IT ARE AVAILABLE YET. I DID ASK HIM ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM WITH MY DASH. IT IS SO BADLY CRACKED NOW IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT SECURE AT ALL AS THE CRACKS HAVE MADE THE ENTIRE DASH LOOSE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO NOTHING COULD BE DONE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TAHOE AND HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2011. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO I HOPE SOMEONE WILL REVIEW AND CONSIDER A RECALL. THE CRACKING BEGAN AT ABOUT 22K MILES. I AM UNABLE TO SELECT THE BUTTON BELOW, BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP IF THERE IS A RECALL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
STABILITRAK AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, THE DOOR LOCKS GO CRAZY, RADIO GOES IN AND OUT AND YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. ENGINE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE OUT. THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT TAKEN IN, THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR SO I PAID $600 TO HAVE IT FIXED. 6 MONTHS LATER IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING SO THE SAME SENSOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN. ONE MONTH LATER MY TAHOE IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A SHORT. I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND THEY ARE JUST TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS TO SEE IF IT WORKS, SO NOW I AM OUT OF POCKET OVER $1000 FOR THEM TO KEEP GUESSING WHAT GOING ON.

THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK ALONG THE AIRBAG DOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLORE THE CRACK IS COMPLETE ACROSS THE NARROW DASH. IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG MAY OR MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY CONSIDER THIS TO BE A HIGHLY UNSAFE CONDITION REQUIRING PROPER REPAIR. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN GARAGE UNLESS TRAVELING THEREFORE FEEL THIS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY AFTER 30 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE POWER ISSUES CAUSING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. EXAMPLE, WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70MPH THE ISSUES WOULD HAPPEN WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES OR TURNING ON A BLINKER, THE VEHICLE'S DOOR LOOKS CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD CREATE A STARTLING POP IMMEDIATELY THROUGH THE SPEAKERS, THE RADIO CUT OFF AND RESTARTED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF INTERSTATE, THE ENGINE THEN STARTED TO STUTTER LOOSING POWER. STABILITRACK AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER SAFELY PULLED OVER, CUT VEHICLE OFF. RESTARTED VEHICLE, NO ISSUES OR POWER PROBLEMS. PROBLEM WOULD THEN RANDOMLY HAPPEN. RANDOM NO POWER ISSUES - LIKE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. TESTED BATTER - IT WAS OK. PROBLEM BECAME SPORADIC AND RANDOM. DTC SHOWED RANDOM ISSUES WITH ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (C0710 -STEERING POSITION SENSOR), PARK ASSIST MODULE (U0073, B1325 - DEVICE POWER 1 CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION) AND PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (B1000- ECU MALFUNCTION) IDENTIFIED GROUNDS TO BE VERY BAD CONDITION AT BATTERY NEGATIVE TO ENGINE AND FRAME, AND DRIVER SIDE UNDER BODY GROUND AT THE FRAME.

I BOUGHT MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO (USED, BUT IN GREAT CONDITION) - WITHIN A MONTH MY DASH HAD CRACKED. NOTHING THAT I DID AT ALL! MY NORMAL DRIVING EVERYDAY KEEPS ME WITH 20-30 MILES MAXIMUM, ON VERY WELL MADE ROADS (NOTHING EXTREME). I PAID TO GET IT FIXED (THE FIRST TIME) AND NOW 4 YEARS LATER AND IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME I PAID TO GET IT FIXED, THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T INSTALL THE DASH CORRECTLY AND THEN SAID THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THAT IT WAS MESSED UP AND DEMANDED THAT I PAY FOR IT. I REFUSED AND SAID THAT I WAS DONE WITH IT. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT ABOVE MY AIRBAGS, AND LIKE I SAID, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 4 YEARS THAT MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED.

CRACKED DASH - THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN CRACKING HAPPENED INSIDE ON THE DASH. IT HAS CRACKED IN 4 PLACES: (2) ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND (2) AT THE AIR BAG. WHEN DRIVING, I NOTICE THERE IS NO SUPPORT IN THE MIDDLE OF DASH, IT BOUNCES AND MAKES THE CRACKS WORSE. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET TAHOE AND RESEARCHED ONLINE FOR SAME MAKE AND MODEL ABOUT RECALLS AND THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL FOR THE CRACKS IN THE DASH. THERE HAS CERTAINLY BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, BUT AGAIN NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. CRACKING AT AIRBAG IS HAZARDOUS, ESPECIALLY IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE A RECALL DUE TO THE CRACKS AT THE AIRBAG AND THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
