My truck is selected for recall.. But letter says it's safe to drive. But the letter also explains what can happens if the air bags inflator may rupture during deployment causing serious or fatal injuries. Also the inflator can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions.. Well it's summer time and that can happen if I have an accident.. Need my truck taken asap..
2007 Chevrolet Tahoe airbags complaints
Page 15 of 18: complaints 401 to 430 of 500, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Chevy ss tahoe purchased new in 2007 has multiple cracks in the area surrounding the passenger air bag. It is my concern that if this is deployed there may be portions of this dash that will be deployed with the air bag. In addition the dash board has crack above the drivers steering column that has splintered into multiple cracks. In speaking with my insurance agency I was informed that this is a common issue with this model of chevy tahoe 2007. I do not see any recalls, but this needs to be addressed immediately along with this recall of the airbags for this vehicle type.
The dashboard around the passenger air bag is all has cracked and broken.with no reason. It also broken in the left side of the dash. It suddenly happened while it was small crack and vermin few weeks become a big crack.
The dashboard has two cracks one over the steering wheel and one over the passenger side air bag. I also have the light on and off saying (air bag service required) and the cruise control n has not been working neither for like 2 years all. It is a safety issue and concern when I travel with my family and this issue should be addressed immediately. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I bought this 2007 chevrolet tahoe brand new an this is the 2nd crack on my dash now it has a large crack next to the passenger airbag . I am afraid of this airbag being punctured in case of an accident . And a piece of the dash breaking off and stabbing the passenger . Gm needs to be held accountable for this faulty dash materials that were used! This is a safety concern that needs to be repaired asap! These cracks happened when my wife was driving normally , this should not happen again.
My impeccably maintained SUV has multiple cracks in the dash that I believe if the air bags deploy will cash serious bodily harm. I am continually finding pieces on the dash on my floorboard near the gas pedals on the drivers side and far forward on the passenger side. And recently with the cracks getting worse I have noticed the broken pieces are starting to flap around with the forced air coming through the vents.
Multiple cracks in the dashboard
"takata recall"
2007 chevy tahoe, dash has cracked in two places. One crack is in the left corner at the airbag (complete crack top to bottom). The second is at the left side over the steering wheel (within 1 inch being completely cracked from top to bottom). This is a defect in the materials not any incident that caused this to crack. There are hundreds of complaints and all dash cracks are basically in the same area. Very much a safety hazard especially if a crash occurred. Possibly could cause shattering of the dash pieces and cause injuries or possibly interfere with airbag deployment.
Passenger side airbag explosively inflated while driving approximately 30 miles per hour on an inner city street. No jarring or collision occurred directly prior to this incident. This appears unprovoked and poses a major safety risk to consumer. We have young children who could have been seriously injured in this incident. Thankfully they were not in the vehicle at the time and it was the passenger side which exploded and not the driver side. Any of theses scenarios would have (and did) easily endanger the driver and other individuals on or near the road when incident occurred. I immediately turned into a chevrolet dealership and am currently awaiting word on what exactly caused the airbag inflation.
Crack in the dash on drivers side. Interior door handles have caused cuts to hands. Service battery charging system light continues to come on. I have had the car serviced & mechanics can not locate the issue. Seems to be an electrical malfunction.
Tahoe was involved in front colision with another vehicle and bags did not deploy. Bumper, hood damaged. Bumper metal bracket pushed in.tahoe was turning left on light when struck be another vehicle like head on.
Dashboard is cracked in three locations. 1st and 2nd: over passenger side airbag from upper corners of the airbag to the air-vent panel 3rd: approximately 8 inches along the top of the driver instrument panel to the air-vent panel. Additional separation between panels is created during temperature changes or running the heater in cold weather. Have had two dealerships tell me it is a normal, known, and reoccurring problem with the body-style but offered to replace it for over $1,000.
Cracking in dashboard cause potential safety hazard upon deployment
My dashboard is cracked from the drivers side all the away across the top to pass anger side..... Past warranty and dealership won't pay for it. I am worry about the safety if the air bags are deployed. Where is all that broken dashboard going to go? Please help get this fixed. I worry about the safety of my children. There was nothing that specifically happened I just noticed one day it was starting to crack,
Dashboard cracks in all gm vehicles near the passenger airbag. Not sure if it affects the airbag but will definitely send sharp plastic parts flying if airbag is needed.
Dash board cracked over stringing wheel and pass. Air bag
At 56000 I began to notice sally cracks to the passenger side dash on the corner of the housing for the passenger airbag. I took it to the dealership but this was not a covered item in my warranty. Shortly after, the cracks have extended and are approximately 2-3 inches in length . Also a crack above the instrument cluster began and has traveled to the front of the dash. The concern and immediate danger is that if the air bags were to deploy, the excerpted force would either send shrapnel from the dashboard in to the personnel in the vehicle causing a greater risk of serious traumatic injury or possibly death. Additionally it is possible that the sharp edges created by the cracks could potentially pierce the airbag preventing it from fully deploying as intended and thus rendering it in affective and not adhering to safety standards, again resulting in possible loss of life or sever traumatic injury.
Dash has cracked in two separate areas. One above the driver side instrument panel and one above the passenger side airbag. I called two different chevrolet dealerships on two separate occasions, neither of which willing to correct or report to gm. Entire repair would be at owner expense. Dash has had very little sunlight exposure.
Dash board crack. The crack appears to have compromised the dashboard all the way to the passenger-side airbag and a much larger crack above the instrument panel. If something were to happen...I was in a wreck, and the airbag were to deploy...there's shards of dash going through the cab. I am the original owner on this 2007 tahoe.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the contact blacked out and crashed into the guardrail. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained head injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. On another occasions, while making a left turn at 15 MPH, the contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries reported. The contact also stated that there were two large cracks in the dashboard and a third crack developed as a result of the first crash. The vehicle was taken to a dealer however, the diagnosis was unknown. The vehicle was repaired after both failures. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
The plastic dashbord has cracks on the edge of the airbag unit and over the top of the speedometer unit. There is also major cracks on 30 to 40 percent of the flat portion of the dash.these cracks are sharp and severe. The cracking started and has eventually gotten worse over time to the point of a safety concern. If the airbag is deployed there is great risk that the dash board may come apart and kill or injure the passenger and others in the vehicle. I have read hundreds of complaints on the internet in regards to this safety issue. Please investigate to find out if a repair or recall is needed. As an engineer I believe gm should make the repair.
Air bag lights came on and sensors need to be replaced I should not have to pay for this being it is a safety issue and it is defect on gmc part.
While cleaning the dashboard I heard a loud noise and noticed it had cracked in two places. One over the drivers side "hump" and the other at the air bag. It now has three cracks.
I have cracks in my dashboard at the instrument panel and at the passenger air bag. I believe that this is from lack of quality as the truck has been kept in a garage. I believe it's a safety issue and needs to be addressed and recalled by gm especially considering the amount of people having the same issue.
The vehicles dash board cracked near the air bag. There is sharp plastic around the air bag that may create a safety issue.
Cracks appeared on the dash around the passenger airbag and above the driver side instrument cluster.
The passenger side air bag has a big crack in the dash right above the air bag. This concerns me as I have 4 children and am scared that this may deploy while one of them is in the front seat. I see that there are many complaints on this same issue. I also have an issue with the asb light and stabilitrak lights where they are both on in the driver display dash. Every once in a while they will reset, but then in a day or so these error messages come back on. I also noticed that there are many complaints on this issue as well. Please gm do a recall on these issues!!
All side airbags curtains deployed for no apparent reason.the dash board has a long crack nearly the entire length.
Dash cracked in several places. This is a very common defect in gm silverados, tahoes, suburbans, yukons and avalanches. At this point the main concern is the fact that the high majority of cracks on all affected dashes are against/next to passanger air bag. If deployed dash fragments will become projectiles. As times goes on several other cracks have appeared and at this time gm has refused to address
