Takata recall. Airbag light going on and off constantly. Also dashboard cracking all over and pieces coming out which can be dangerous in an accident!
Takata recall - I have been checking on this for a year and a remedy is still not available. I was involved in an accident april 10 2017 and the tahoe sustained significant front and rear damage while stationary. I was hit from behind by a large truck and was then pushed into the car in front of me. No airbags deployed.
The dash board o the vehicle is cracking all around the takata recall airbags. The cracks are spidering across the dash, there are so may complaints with this dash board cracking and it is a safety issue if the airbags go off the dash board is likely to shatter and potentially be a projectile causing injury or death. This should be invesitigated and be a recall. You will find thousands of vehicle have this problem, gm is aware and its all over facebook and online. Just google tahoe cracked dashboard and look for yourself. Thank you for investigating this matter
Dashboard has cracked adjacent to corner of passenger side airbag panel and along top of driver side instrument cluster panel. Cracked dash continues to expand. The cracked dashboard is a safety concern in that shards of the plastic may break off during an accident and/or during deployment of the airbags, impaling the passengers. The sad part of this is that I had to replace all the exterior door handles also because they all broke off from the cheap plastic clip that holds the handle in place - no recall on that either. This is inexcusable when you look at the cost of the ltz vehicles. Both of these defects are safety issues - mishandling of aibags when deployed and someone able to enter your vehicle through a broken handle!!!!!!!
2008 chevy tahoe cost in 2008 , $35,000.

Dash board of chevrolet tahoe is cracking in all places and exposing vehicle components
Two dashboard cracks on 2008 chevrolet tahoe, 1 of which is directly going to passenger side airbag compartment. If this airbag is to be deployed, it will send the pieces of this dash flying throughout the vehicle. This is a well known issue and there are thousands of these identical cracks on these generation vehicles with no support from gm. This is a safety issue and needs to be recalled.
The dashboard is cracking all over, and there is even a hole where it cracked so bad that a piece fell off. I believe this is a common defect and that the manufacturer should be responsible for this.
Dashboard cracked on instrument panel and by passenger airbag causing a terrible rattle
Dashboard has crack 6 inches long above instrument panel occured while vehicle was parked taken out of service with refective sunvisor in window
Chrome on inside door handle beginning to flake and chip and cut passenger's hand when operating door handle.
I been having a cracked dash and is something from the manufactured. And is really dangerous to have a cracked dash and I don't think I need to pay for it if is something from the manufactured .
Crack on dashboard near passenger airbag may cause damage to airbag during deployment or pieces of dash to contact passenger during deployment
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.
The door handles on my 2008 chevy tahoe z71 are chrome plated and have delaminated and cut my hands several times upon opening the door while stationary. I saw a recall was issued for 2007 models but never for 2008. The issue is occurring in these vehicles as well.
The dashboard on my chevy tahoe is cracking. It began with one very small crack and now it has spread to the airbag compartment. The cracks have become so bad that the airbag compartment on the passenger side has begun to protrude above the surface of the dashboard.
Dashboard has 3 large cracks. Started as a small stress crack then spread throughout the dash. This is a known problem with the 08-14 gm vehicles ( tahoe, suburban, avalanche) this happened as the car was stationary. This is very unsafe as the crack can spread and/or break during driving, gm needs to address this major concern
Dashboard has cracked adjacent to corner of passenger side airbag panel and along top of driver side instrument cluster panel. Cracks were noticed upon entering vehicle after it being parked in front of home overnight. The cracked dashboard is a safety concern in that shards of the plastic may break off during an accident and/or during deployment of the airbags, impaling the passengers.
Have two area on my,dash board where. Cracks are located, running from the steering to the passage side. Never use any cleaning products, just a damp towel.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet tahoe. The contact noticed cracks on the dashboard towards the front passenger side near the air bag components and cracks on the driver side near the gauges. The dealer and manufacturer stated that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The manufacturer provided no repair solution other than stating to take the vehicle to the dealer for repair. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 113,000.
The truck was having dry start ups winter or summer..could hear the lifters tapping really hard until oil hits it,,lifters collasped on right side now the left is doing the same and warranty wont fix..also the leveling pump keeps going out and this it rhe second one in two years that had to be replaced..also the driver mirror will not role in so when I park noone wont hit it..also dash is craxk over the passenger side and driver side air bags..also the transmission is slipping into second gear and it rumbles inside when it drops to 4 cylinder..
Dashboard is cracking around the airbag and on top of the odometer/ speed and is a safety issue if passenger side airbag goes off. Potential for it to shoot plastic shrapnel into cabin and it's occupants. I have children and I feel unsecured riding my truck.
Dash cracked while stationary. Very common. Potential to become projectile during accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the dashboard of the vehicle was fractured in several places, which could cause injuries. The vehicle was diagnosed, but not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 54,398.
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.
Dashboard cracking in several different places, even beside passenger airbag.
My dashboard recently cracked on its own in several locations including around the passenger side airbag and in front of the drivers console. It seems as if this is some sort of defect in the manufacturing process. It split all the way through. My main concern is the pieces next to the airbag may become projectiles if the airbags were to ever be deployed. Gm and chevrolet dealerships refuse to address the issue after numerous complaints.
