Dash is cracked in 6 different spots; 3 of the cracks being around the passenger air bag. If the airbag were to deploy, the dash would shatter thus causing sharp projectiles to be dispensed in the vehicle cabin potentially causing serious injury to the occupants. The cracks start down where the bolts connect to the body (they extend further down than what can be seen in the photos).
2010 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The dashboard has cracked in two locations, at the corner of the passenger airbag cover, and in front of the instrument column. This is greatly concerning because it could cause the airbag to malfunction, or cause other debris from the dashboard to come loose in an accident. This is a known issue and yet no recall has been issued. When in motion the dashboard vibrates violently because the two cracks have compromised the structural integrity and support. The vibrating also causes a significant rattle.
Dash is cracked by passenger airbag and it will not allow the cover to attach properly. Sharp plastic edge may cut airbag when deployed making it useless. Also, there is a recall on the airbag and gm is stating that no parts are available and they won't be for a while.

Dashboard has begun to crack in numerous areas, 1 area that is very concerning is right by the passenger airbag which I feel concerned that if it were to inflate the dashboard would would send projectiles flying. The dash is also cracking severely above the instrument cluster. Upon research this is a issue that the internet is flooded with and gm refuses to address the problem. I contacted gm in regards to this issue and they refuse to take responsibility although at a dealethis ship when I went looking around 4 out of the 5 vehicles for sale on the lot had the same cracks in the same places. I need help from the federal safety agency to resolve this issue before my family is put in danger in the event of a vehicle accident. This crack seemed to occur when the weather got cold, I turned on my heat and the desk immediately cracked. This is flawed equipment and we as consumers should not have to deal with it.
Takata recall - the information available from gm on this recall is that at this time, gm considers your vehicle safe. The fact that 11 people so far have been killed by takata airbag's tells me it is not safe for my family to have these in our vehicle.
The dashboard is cracking in several spots. The main concern is that it is cracking at the corner of the airbag deployment area. If the airbag were to deploy it could be punctured or cut during deployment due to this cracked dashboard.
The dashboard has cracked around the passenger side airbag. Certainly I feel this is a safety concern that chevy needs to fix. The vehicle is used only for leisure and is parked in the garage when not in use.
The dashboard has three severe long cracks that run into where the airbag would deploy and one that runs vertically straight up to the steering wheel.this is clearly a defect. The edges are very sharp. A piece has cracked and fell into the A/C vent. I am very concerned the dash could cut the airbag as it passes by the sharp edges or sharp edges could severely cut driver or passenger as airbag pushed broken dash into passenger or driver.this needs to be addressed.
Driver's side dashboard crack over instrument cluster. No accident, original owner, crack just occurred and pieces have fallen into instrument panel. Crack is running vertical from seam in front of driver's windshield up to driver's instrument panel area where steering wheel is located.
The dashboard has severe long cracks that run into where the airbag would deploy. This is clearly a defect and 1000's have reported same issue. The edges are very sharp. The vehicle is <4 years old and gm will not replace. Concern is the dash could cut the airbag as it passes by the sharp edges or sharp edges could severely cut driver or passenger as airbag pushed broken dash into passenger or driver.
My dashboard at my passenger airbag and at my gauge cluster have severe cracks. I'm afraid my passenger airbag will not deploy and my gauges will fall deep inside the dash. Gm is aware of the problem, but will not recall for fix. This is a serious concern.
