I OWN A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE THAT THE DASH BOARD ALL OF A SUDDEN BEGAN SHOWING CRACKS, WITHIN A PEROID OF 3 MONTHS AFTER NOTICING, THESE CRACKS HAVE TRAVELED UP THE DASH BOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND AT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER. EVENTUALLY THE DASH WILL FALL COMPLETELY IN. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED, THE DASH IS SO BRITAL THAT FRAGMENTS OF THE DASH WILL CAUSE SEVERE CUTS, AND BODILY HARM WITH THE POSSIBILTY OF DEATH.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
MY 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS DEVELOPED NUMEROUS CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT IS I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, ARE PIECES OF THE DASH GOING TO BE SHOT AT/INTO PASSENGER AND/OR DRIVER/ I HAVE TRIED TO GET GM/CHEVROLET TO REPLACE AND THEIR OPTION WAS FOR ME TO SPEND $800 TO REPLACE THEIR DASHBOARD THAT HAS MATERIAL DEFECTS. THAT DOES NOT SEEM ACCEPTABLE AND I AM SURE IS NOT PRACTICAL CONSIDERING I HAVE READ THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CAN THE NHTSA HELP?

IN OCTOBER OF 2015, I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE ON A CITY STREET DURING NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS. AS I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD "POP" NOISE THAT I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT CAME FROM AN OBJECT HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. UPON FURTHER REVIEW, I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD HAD INEXPLICABLY CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. THE CRACKS ARE RATHER LARGE AND I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL JEOPARDIZE THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS REGARDING THIS MATTER.
