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.

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.

I CAME OUT TO START MY CAR ONE DAY AND NOTICED THAT MY DASH BOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAPPENED OVER NIGHT THERES A HUGE CRACK SPLITTING INTO ANOTHER ONE ABOVE MY STEERING WHEEL AND ANOTHER CRACK ON THE CREASE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WHICH IS CAUSING IT TO LIFT AND LOOKS LIKE IT COULD SET OFF THE AIRBAG UNEXPECTEDLY. VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY AS I HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR ON A DAILY BASIS.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING. IT STARTED WITH CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IT IS NOW CRACKING FORWARD OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.THIS IS ALSO OCCURRING ON MY 2008 CHEV SILVERADO, BUT MUCH WORSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET AND THEY WILL REPLACE THE DASH FOR $305. THE QUESTION IS, WHY ARE THE DASHES CRACKING AT ALL !

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.

I HAVE A 20 INCH CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD DIRECTLY OVER MY STEERING WHEEL. IT IS SEPARATED ABOUT 2 CM AND IS DANGEROUS DUE TO AIR BAG LOCATION AND POTENTIAL OF AIR BAG MALFUNCTION IN A CRASH.

THE DASH HAS 2 LARGE CRACKS, I HAVE OTHER VEHICLES MUCH OLDER WITH OUT ANY DASH CRACKS. THIS HAS TO BE DUE TO BAD MATERIAL. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO AIR BAG INFLATION AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PROPELLING A CHUNK OF PLASTIC FROM THE DASH.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE WARNING AND STABILITRAX WARNING CUT OFF. LEARNED FROM MECHANIC THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS BAD. OUR MECHANIC SEES THIS REGULARLY AND BELIEVES SOMEONE NEEDS TO REVIEW THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE 78,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE BUT MY SON-IN-LAW'S GMC P/U HAS 38,000 MILES AND HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. AS I UNDERSTAND THE SEAL BREAKS AND FLUID IS DRAINING INTO THE BOOT. IS THERE ANY CONCERN AT THIS TIME WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILING DUE TO THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE MASTER CYLINDERS? ONCE AGAIN, OUR MECHANIC SEES THESE FAILURES REGULARLY AND BELIEVES GMC NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

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.

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).

OUT OF NOWHERE A 1 1/2 INCH WIDE PIZZA-SHAPED CRACK APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD OVER THE MAIN INSTRUMENT CONSOLE JUST OFF CENTER TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. WE'VE LIVED IN VERY HOT CLIMATE(VISALIA,CA) WITH EXTREMES FROM 110 DEGREES DOWN TO 32 DEGREES AND LESS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A DASHBOARD CRACK OCCUR, INCLUDING OUR PREVIOUSLY OWNED 2002 CHEVY TAHOE. IT'S NOW COVERED WITH A DASH CARPET. SURE HOPE OUR SAFETY ISN'T COMPROMISED. OUR VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE DASH. THE CRACK IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, RIGHT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHERE THE DASH PANELS MEET IN THE MIDDLE. THE VEHICLE HAS 64K MILES ON IT, HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED WITH CHEMICALS ON THE DASH, HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, AND IS GARAGE KEPT. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL, BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY (STILL VALID), OR THE EXTRA PROTECTION PACKAGE THAT I PURCHASED. NO OTHER OPTIONS WERE OFFERED BY THE DEALER. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE DASH PLASTIC IS HARD, IS CRACKING WITH SHARP EDGES, AND COULD BECOME A PROJECTILE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CRACK WAS OBSERVED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

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

MY 2010 WITH 80,000 MILES HAS A CRACKED DASH. A CRACK ABOVE THE GAGE AN ONE THAT I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT ATTACHED TO MY AIRBAG. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS CRACKING IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR GM OWNERS FROM THE YEAR 07-13! MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY THAT THE PLASTIC WOULD BE SENT FLYING AN HURT PASSENGERS. GM HAS HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AN HELPS SOME PEOPLE AN NOT OTHERS! I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AN SHOULD BE RECALLED.
