To Whom It May Concern, I have a 2010 Tahoe LTZ which has a cracked dashboard. I have called around to get this fixed and this is very expensive at the dealership for over $1500. I had checked around and found out that this is a common issue with certain types of GM vehicles and mine is on the list. I will like for this to be replaced by GM because because this is truly a safety issue because the cracks are on the driver side near the airbags. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The dash board is cracking and falling apart. The vehicle is parked inside the garage daily. For what these vehicles cost, the dash shouldn't be falling apart. Very sad on gm's part.
2010 tahoe. My dash is cracked. Have had it replaced once before and it done it again.
Dashboard got 2 big cracks and I don't feel safe driving my tahoe. It has been garage kept at home and work. Very cheap made dashboard.
The dashboard has cracked in 2 places. No pressure or force has caused this to happen. The first crack by the airbag happened in july of 2017 and the second on the steering section happened in mid 2019. It has been garage kept for 50% of ownership.
1. I came out to go to work and the dash board had cracked and it is progressively getting worse. The crack is above the speedometer and on the passenger side near the air bag. 2. Water is leaking in the passenger head board causing water to leak in the seat belt and wet it.
