2008 Chevrolet Tahoe airbags complaints

Side rail airbags deployed while I was driving on a city street without any impact.
Takata recall on my vehicle - why is taking so long to remedy this recall? I also have a few other issues I want to mention. I bought my tahoe in july 2016, my dash is cracking on the driver's side and from what I've read, this is very common and gm is ignoring the issue. My vehicle also started taking off on its own, took extra pressure to stop & RPM would fluctuate sporadically. After contacting a dealer, I was told there was campaign to replace the throttle body sensor but it had expired while the previous owner had possession and was told I'd have to pay for the repair and would possibly have to replace the throttle body. After replacing the sensor, my vehicle's RPM still fluctuates upon stopping and idle is rough. Very upset chevrolet customer now.

Driver side dashboard cracked above steering column by front windshield. Vehicle was stationary overnight. Came out in morning to find huge crack in dash.
Cracking dashboard. This has happened over time and cannot be attributed to the speed, direction, or orientation of the vehicle. I feel this can be a safety issue inhibiting the safe deployment of the airbags.

Multiple dash cracks around steering column and more concernedly around passenger air bag. This is separate from the airbag recall that currently exists. The dash being cracked around this particular point would cause vinyl shrapnel to be sent throughout the cabin of the vehicle presenting a serious safety hazard. This is the only place on the vehicle these cracks are happening even though much of the interior is finished with this same type of vinyl.

My dash has cracked above the gauge cluster and above the passenger airbag.
My airbag light continue to stay on the dealership said I needed to replace seatbelts switch and airbag switch costs $550.00 2hours labor I'd really want to know where can I have this resolved within my budget and not be taken just for the dollar bill and or the booking. I know it's just the connector regardless $550.00 bit redundant
There is a crack in the dash that extends from the passenger side airbag area. I am concerned with the fact that if the airbag were to deploy it could propel plastic material into the cabin and at the passengers.
A crack appeared recently on the dashboard starting at the corner of the passenger airbag. I just hope a friend or family member is not killed if I ever were to get in an accident. I see there have been quite a few complaints regarding this. Why has gm ignored it and not started an investigation?
Hello, there is a crack in my dashboard of my 2008 chevy tahoe that may very much affect the deployment of my airbag. I really and truly feel that if an accident should occur they air bag will not function properly. I just purchased from bmw in macon on 1/6/2016 and I have an expended warranty.
I started up my 2008 chevrolet tahoe ltz on saturday and the dash cracked on the hump over the gauges. Vehicle is garage kept. Second owner to vehicle and I have never been in an accident. If air bags were to deploy could be effected. I haul my 3 children in my vehicle daily and I no longer feel safe.
Dash has cracked in multiple places. First crack is on right side of dash, top left of the air bag panel. Second crack is on left side of dash over the instrument panel. Most people don't think about a cracked dash being dangerous. However, if the airbags are deployed, fragments could become projectiles that can harm passengers. Chevrolet/gm needs to make this right.
There are very large cracks on my dash board, the worst one being around the airbag plastic cover on the passenger side of the dash! You can see under the cover showing all of the components under the dash! The crack that is on the drivers side is above the steering column running from the defroster to the top by the speedometer displays, etc! I feel as if these cracks, specifically the one on the passenger side, is a huge safety hazard! Without crashing, there is no way of telling if the passenger side airbag will deflate properly due to this! I feel that to find this out, it should be at no ones expense! I have filed a complaint & a claim with gm a few months ago only to be told by the dealership that gm contacted on my behalf that the responsibility is mine if I wanted this problem to be fixed! The dealership informed me that it would cost $850 to $1000 to have the dash replaced! The dealership also said that they are very aware of this problem in the tahoes because they have replaced some dashes! Gm is not taking any responsibility for their faulty equipment & refuse to issue a recall! There are thousands of other customers who I know for a fact that are also facing the same problems with their trucks & suvs! Please do the right thing & issue a recall on these faulty & cheap made dash boards! Thank you!
The dashes on a significant number of 1500-3500 series tahoe, suburban, yukon, sierra and silverado model vehicles from gm are cracking all over the dash. The cracks are located specifically around the passenger airbag causing a safety issue for vinyl shrapnel being launched at passengers in the cabin upon airbag deployment. This is similar to the crisis faced by toyota. Gm is neglecting the safety of its customers by allowing this to occur. The number of vehicles experiencing the exact same cracks, down to the size and exact location, constitutes a design flaw in the location of the mounting points which is causing uneven distribution of weight as well as point stresses. If this piece was properly engineered it would distribute stress and flex properly to avoid the plastic mode of failure to which they are currently experiencing. Updated 12/12/2017
All six side airbags on our 2008 chevrolet tahoe deployed while my wife was driving the vehicle with our two children in their rear car seats. There was no impact, bump, pot-hole or any other reason apparent to us why the airbags deployed. It was completely random. No one was injured and my wife maintained control of the vehicle to a safe stop, but she was stunned and disoriented. The damage to our vehicle is extensive. In addition to replacing six airbags, light fixtures, plastic molding, the roof panel and fabric/liner are all damaged. At this point, the dealer is not helping at all. We have contacted gm but they have not responded after 2 days. We believe this is not only a product liability issue that gm should repair, but also a major safety issue. We are all very fortunate that this did not result in a single or multi-vehicle accident, injuries related to the accident, or injuries related to the airbag deployment. We need help to ensure gm addresses this issue proactively, before someone is seriously injured or killed.
My air bag sensor needs to be replaced - at an astronomical price this is crazy - I have just replaced the ball joints and now I have to replace an airbag sensor in order to get an inspection sticker.....not happy.
