My 2010 chevy tahoe has developed a crack in the upper dash area between the passenger side air bag and the defrost outlet. There was no outside influence that caused the crack and I'm very concerned that this is a safety issue in the event of an accident.
The dashboard is cracking in multiple places. The cracks are getting worse with time. This could cause fragments of sharp plastic to be launched into the vehicle in the event of an accident. Airbag deployment may also be compromised.
I bought a 2010 chevrolet tahoe in december 2012 less than 2 years after I bought this vehicle the dashboard started cracking in two place-driver side and passenger side. This is a safety issue due to the location of the air bags. There are a lot of complaints about this issue from tahoe owners. This is a safety issue for everyone riding in the vehicle. This needs to be a recall.
The dashboard has cracked in two places. Next to the airbag and above the steering wheel. I am concerned that this creates a safety hazard in the event of a collision where the dashboard will separate and create flying projectiles. I am also concerned that if the airbag deploys, the dashboard will break apart and create flying projectiles. I noticed the cracks on 4/16/2017.
Cracked dashboard. At the moment the dash has cracked over the instrument panel and at the passenger side airbag.

The dash in my tahoe recently cracked, & upon looking on the web, appears to be in the same place as many others' issue. I'm not sure when the crack happened (driving, parked, etc.), but it became visible to my attention the other day after some cold evenings (cold for san francisco bay area). I use a sunshade when possible. It is a regular driver. Image below is not my vehicle but almost an exact placement version for reference.
The dash board in the vehicle has 2 cracks in it. Could be a safety hazard involving the airbags. One crack is located at the curve of the instrument panel on the gear selector side and the other is located on the passenger side. I recently purchased the vehicle and the cracks were already there. I know that this is a popular problem and I believe that gm has profited greatly from the sales of these vehicles and should take responsibility for the integrity of their product.

Dashboard has major cracks and it feels like one day, some piece will break off and hurt someone while driving and it cause major crash. It started with a small crack and it is though end to end now.
