The dashboard has 2 cracks on it. One on the driver sides, towards the door, and one on the passenger side, in the middle, directly above the airbag.
2007 Chevrolet Tahoe body complaints
Page 6 of 10: complaints 131 to 160 of 279, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The dash cracked on the passenger side at the corner of where the passenger airbag deploys. Approximately two weeks ago a larger crack appeared on the driver side dash above the instrument cluster. Gm knows this is a rampant issue but fails to show integrity and take responsibility for the thousands of cracked dashes in tahoe, yukon, avalanche, sierra, and silverado trucks.
Upon purchasing my 2007 tahoe used I noticed 2 cracks on dashboard. The one on the passenger side is cracked at corner of airbag which is concerning due to an airbag deployment shards of plastic could be turn ed into projectiles. Noticed there are many, many of the same vehicles with identical cracks and locations of them. Thanks
The interior door handle chrome is peeling which severely cut my daughters finger.
Peeling chrome off of interior door handles has caused cuts and bleeding. Crack on dashboard adjacent to the front passenger air bag. Broken driver's door exterior handle.

The rear exterior door handles had broken off. It was originally repaired by a chevrolet dealer; however it broke again within a couple of months. It has since broken about 10 times and should be subject to a recall or a class action lawsuit. This was a $55k vehicle brand new when I purchased it in 2007. This is also a safety issue as people can break in. In addition, it's not safe for children to open the door as the handle separates from the body and pushes back in, possibly causing a child's hand to get caught in between the body and the underside of the handle.
Right rear passenger door handle came off of door. This is the second one to be replaced on this vehicle with around 52,000 miles.
My 2007 chevy tahoe ltz has developed cracks in the dashboard on the passenger and driver side. The passenger side crack is near the airbag deployment space and the driver side airbag runs from the back to the front of the dash. I am concerned about the airbag having difficulty deploying in an accident or pieces of the dashboard breaking away in it's current state that may turn into projectiles.

Vehicle dashboard began cracking on passenger side between defrost vent and passenger-side air bag. Then it cracked above the gauges on the driver's side, which now has started running toward driver. My concern is that the entire dashboard will shatter if either of the air bags explode. This seems to be a very common issue among 2007 gm tahoes, suburbans and yukons. The local dealer will not acknowledge that this is affecting vast numbers of vehicles.
There were multiple cracks in the dashboard and gm replaced at no charge while vehicle was still under warranty. The new dash developed another crack...this time it is a fairly large piece that has split and could fall out. I notified gm and they offered to replace it if I would pay a $200 deductible. I refused as the initial dash problem was identified while still under warranty period. The fact that it has cracked again while being no more than 2 years old is indicative of a material defect on their part. I have "never" had a dash in any vehicles I have owned (ford, nissan, mazda) crack except for gm. It would be nice to have confidence that pieces of a gm dash will not fly inside the cabin of a vehicle and strike someone should there be an accident in the future. There are well over 200 people on facebook complaining about the inferior dash quality of some gm vehicles and are frustrated that gm has not corrected the problem. This issue also means that I take a financial hit should I try to sell the car because of a faulty dash. Gm is wrong.
There are dashboard cracks in my 2007 chevy tahoe. One of the cracks is 2? Long, near the passenger side airbag. I have done extensive research on this problem to see if its an anomaly. It isn't. I am a member of a facebook group who currently has 250 members and have the exact same defect. It appears this is a manufacturing defect. The cracks are in the same location among hundreds, if not thousands of consumers. I am worried the crack on the passenger side of the dash is a hazard if the air bag is deployed. I can imagine shards of plastic causing serious injury to the passenger. The cost to replace the dash is between $1,000-$1,500. There are members of the facebook group who have had 3 dashes replaced because gm refuses to fix the defect. Please refer to this youtube video where it shows the cracks on several gmc and chevy autos. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ikscklf7g8 please see the facebook group for more confirmation and information on the defect. Https://www.facebook.com/groups/251892298253/ currently the federal safety agency has 98 complaints filed online relating to the dash cracks, but they have yet to initiate an investigation. Http://www-odi.the federal safety agency.dot.gov/owners/searchvehicles also my service air bag light continues to come up and they tell me they cant find the problem and I asked if the crack in the dash on air bag affects that and they also replied they did not know that the code just says somewhere on the passenger side and now I will have to wait until something brakes.
The outside door handles on the driver's side and passenger's side front both broke off. Also, the chrome on the inside driver's and passenger's front is cracking off the door handles and I sliced my left hand pretty badly. Considering this is a $55,000+ vehicle and there appears to be a lot of complaints about the same thing, there should be some sort of recall.
The dash is cracked in my tahoe which gives me every reason to believe that if I were in a collision the dash would break apart and send projectiles into me or my family. This is a well known issue with gmt900 series vehicles and gm will do nothing!!!
Yes I am writing to say that we have a 2007 chevy tahoe ltz and the door handles are falling off. I am not understanding why they are coming off like this. I don't have the money to keep putting out for the same problem.. I am thinking that a recall should be put forward towards this problem. Because I see that I am not the only one with problems.... Thanks in advance
My daughter who is six years was attempting to open the rear passenger side door when the handle came off the body of the car.
Dashboard has cracked. 2 large cracks go across dash.
The exterior door handles are coming loose. Both the driver and passenger front door handles. They still open the door but I am afraid they will break off completely in the near future.

I noticed a couple of large cracks in the dash after purchase. This vehicle is prone to dash cracks due to faulty plastic (online research). I'm concerned there may be a safety hazard with the crack around the airbag.
Rear driverside exterior door handle broke. Have read hundreds of complaints on chevy blogs....this needs to be a recall for gm-handles brake regularly, very costly to fix, and for most of us outside of warranty. Please help the consumers.
I got out of my car one night everything was fine got back in it the next morning to a huge crack in the dash. Two weeks later there is another crack in the dash on the other side above the airbags. And the steering wheel is peeling.
Me and my daughter have been cut on our hands because both the passenger and drivers side interior chrome handle is peeling off. I had to put electrical tape on it, since both are as sharp as a razor.
I purchased a 2007 chevrolet tahoe, 2wd, lt1 on 02/20/2013. I immediately noticed that the chrome on the interior door handles was flaking off. I received a cut to my hand when opening one of the interior doors. Both the driver and passenger interior door handles are coming apart. I have read several complaints online with this model and it appears that no one has done anything about it. There is also a crack in the dash between the defrost vent and the airbag on the passenger side. A search of the internet reveals several complaints from hundreds of consumers who have reported these same flaws with this same model. Also, the trim on the steering wheel and radio buttons are peeling off. The 2007 chevrolet tahoe seems to be plagued with these three part failures and someone needs to look into this. A cut may not seem severe, until the cut doesn't heal properly, leaves permanent scaring and possibly the added threat of infection. I have taken this vehicle to my local chevrolet dealer who stated that these issues were not covered by any warranty or recall. I am interested in a class action lawsuit to correct these flaws. This is the 3rd tahoe I have owned and considered myself a loyal tahoe owner. This is the only model year that I have ever had an issue with. I have photographs showing the flaws and associated vehicle mileage.
The dashboard has been cracking and continues to including portions near and around the airbags.
