2010 Chevrolet Tahoe body complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 89, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The dashboard cracked starting with the left corner of the passenger side airbag and continues across the dash all the way to the drivers side steering column. A small piece near the passenger side airbag fell into the dash and we are concerned that it could become a projectile if the airbag were to deploy. The crack appeared suddenly and has worsened over time. Parking/storing conditions of the vehicle have varied over time and no specific incident that we are aware of caused the crack.
The dash board cracked after beu6ng parked outside for no more than 4 hours.
Garage kept tahoe has cracked dashboard above instrument panel and passenger side airbag. If car was in an accident, shards of sharp plastic could injure passengers. This is a common issue in gm vehicles. Gm should have a recall to replace the dashboard.
The dashboard of my 2010 tahoe cracked around 55k miles in 2015 while driving. It seems like this defect is due to the amount of vibration/usage of vehicle, since most notice damage after 50k miles regardless of how long they've owned it or its exposure to the sun.
Tahoe dash is cracking on the corner of the passenger airbag. A very dangerous spot for a jagged edge to be next to an airbag.
Dashboard around airbag cracking into pieces exposing internal components. No accidents, well maintained vehicle. On line search shows " common problem". Left and right dash cracks thru and thru plastic.
Takata recall I just notice a crack on the left top side of my dashboard a day after I brought my vehicle to get service at bical chevrolet dealer. I return to get answers and the dealer told me it's a known issue for these type of vehicle and they will not pay for the repair. I call chevrolet gm (case # 8-2129107909) and they told me this was the first time hearing about this issue and will no pay for the repair. Personally I think this is wrong and there should be a recall or some type of repair for vehicles that are currently crack in the same places on the dashboard especially long side passenger airbag. I would like something be done about my dashboard where I don't have to pay for it.
I came out to start my car one day and noticed that my dash board cracked in two places. It seems like it happened over night theres a huge crack splitting into another one above my steering wheel and another crack on the crease of the passenger side air bag which is causing it to lift and looks like it could set off the airbag unexpectedly. Very dangerous especially as I have children in the car on a daily basis.
In 2013 I noticed small cracks on the dash around the top corners of the passenger airbag. Since then, I will hear random "popping" sounds as new cracks develop on the dash above the instrument panel. There's about 3 inches left before the entire thing cracks open. There's a semi-circle piece now missing from the dash because the crack opened up entirely and the piece is now rattling somewhere in the dash... After a particularly loud crack, I noticed the passenger airbag light will intermittently come on. This is the light that says whether it's "on or off." most of the time it will not come on, even with a person clearly sitting in the passenger seat. I'm afraid the airbag will either fail to deploy or randomly deploy...
The dashboard has 2 cracks in it that randomly showed up, 1 in at the top left corner on the pasenger side by the air bag and the other the top left side of the drivers side above the instument panel and its getting larger by the day.
This the 2nd time mine dashboard has cracked on paassenger side of mine 2010 tahoe. The 1st time serra chevrolet fixed at no cost to me. This time that said that it would be over a $1,000 dollars. I do not think I should have to pay this, I park in mine garage. I would like to be able to go get it corrected at no cost to me. I just saw that it had happen, there were no accidents.
Dashboard is cracking on passenger side and driver side. Could puncture airbag in event of a crash.
The dashboard is cracking in several places. One location is right above the instrument cluster. The other is around the passenger side airbag. This is a safety hazard as an airbag deployment could result in plastic breaking free and become flying projectiles within the cabin. Like many other vehicles with this same issue, the vehicle is well maintained, garage kept, and in good working order. The way that gm designed the dashboards and the materials used for the dashboards are the reason for this issue.
The passenger side front interior chrome door handle has begun peeling which results in a sharp edge on the door handle which results in minor cuts on human hands when a person pulls on the handle to open the door. This is the same issue experienced with 2007 chevy tahoe which resulted in the federal safety agency ea 10004. The federal safety agency ea 10004 resulted in chevrolet extending warranty on this issue for 100,000 miles or 10 years. I contacted chevrolet about this issue with 2010 tahoe and they are not willing to extend the warranty on this model without the federal safety agency enforcement. The driver side front handle had the same problem in 2012. Gm fixed that handle for free because car was under 36,000 mile / 3 year warranty. Online search reveals that other post- 2007 model tahoe owners are having same issue. Since issue is with door handle, vehicle is stationary when door handle is used.

At 60,000 miles vehicle developed a cracked dash near passenger side airbag. Approximately 4,000 miles later a second crack has appeared forward of the gauge cluster and is growing. This is a safety concern if pieces of sharp plastic fly loose and cause injury.
Dashboard is cracked in multiple places and gm refuses to replace it. One major crack if from the airbag cover forward. I am in fear of the airbag deploying and pieces of plastic dash flying all over the place. I am one of thousands who have these cracks but gm is refusing to replace them.
Driving along one day at 45 MPH and the dashboard just cracked. Mine has cracked over the instrument panel. I have a friend who has the same crack as well as a crack over the air bag on the passenger side. The cracked dash is a known problem that needs to be corrected, I am also concerned what may happen if the air bag goes off with what is obviously a brittle dash.

Multiple cracks on top of dashboard on both driver and passenger sides near airbag.
Hi the dashboard has 2 cracks in it. One on driver side and one on passenger where the airbag would deploy from. I feel it is a major safety issue wit my children in the car if an accident was to occurs the plastic dash being cracked could cut or kill one of my children. Thanks
Dashboard has numerous cracks. There are several around the passenger side airbag and directly above instrument panel. If it continues, the instrument panel will be split in two.
Cracked dashboard on passenger side at airbag.
The dashboard keeps cracking. I have had it replaced twice now and it needs to be replaced again. I am concerned about the safety during a collision or airbag deployment from sharp plastic exposed due to the cracks in the dash cutting the airbag or shards of plastic becoming projectiles potentially causing injury to occupants.
My dash board is cracked around the passenger airbag. I am concerned about the safety during a collision or airbag deployment from sharp plastic exposed due to the cracks in the dash cutting the airbag or shards of plastic becoming projectiles potentially causing injury to occupants.
I purchased my chevrolet tahoe in march of 2014. I noticed two cracks in the plastic dashboard shortly thereafter near the airbag location. I am very surprised there has not been a recall as these cracks are only going to grow and impact the entire dash membrane that houses the major control systems of the vehicle.
Dash cracking could cause damage to airbag and sharp shrapnel if airbag deploys.
