April of 2016 the dashboard on my 2012 tahoe had crack to show up at my airbag. I took it to my dealership to ask if this is a hazard. They agree that the location made it a hazard. They also told me that I was not the first to come to them with this same problem in the exact same area. The dealership said that there was a lawsuit in place to have the dashboard replace by gmc. They then told me that other cracks would form over time because that is what is happening to other vehicle owners with this same vehicle. Unfortunately, they were correct. A few months later another crack showed up on my driver side. I took it back to dealership and they once again said that this is exactly what is happening to everyone else. I asked if there was anything they could do for me. They could replace it but then said, that gmc should really step up and make this a recall. As I research this online, I found where this is happening to a lot of people that have 2012 gmc tahoe. This is hazard to anyone that is in the car. According to the experts at my dealership, the crack at the airbag could get cut or mess it up from deploying. Plus if I was to get into a wreck the pieces could easily break off and cause more physical harm. We have spent a lot on buying this top of the line 2012 gmc ltz tahoe. We understand that over time different parts of the vehicle will need to be replace like rubber seals around the door, door handles & other things that come with normal wear and tear. However, replacing a dashboard should not be on this list. Especially when this is happening to thousands of other vehicles. The cracks are happening in the exact same spot in both places. The cracks are getting worse. I really would hope that gmc would step up & do the right thing to place a recall on the dashboard before someone gets injured. If they care about peoples lives, there should not be a problem.
Dashboard keeps cracking by air bag compartment and over the instrument cluster
While driving my 2012 tahoe my vehicle shut off and I went to hit my brakes to stop I had no brakes so as I was coming to a curve I couldn't turn the wheel , luckily I wasn't driving at a fast speed . I was going 30 so I had to wait for vehicle to stop and put in park and restarted vehicle , it did start back up but now my service air bag light is on
There is a large crack in the dashboard right up to the air bag. I don't know when or how it started. I looked at the dashboard and there was a crack. It seems to be getting bigger. I am afraid that if I am ever in an accident with a passenger the airbag will not deploy.
Approximately 6 months ago the dash on the passenger side started to crack in my 2012 chevy tahoe. It has always been in a heated garage and out of the sunlight. On december 1, 2015 is the date I purchased the vehicle and the dealer talked me into putting a nano technology coating on the entire vehicle to keep it in like new condition, which cost me $899. I took it to the dealership and showed them and they were going to let me know if abra would fix it, however, after 2 months still no response from the dealership and I contacted them again yesterday. The other thing is the driver side door handle has cracked underneath and so when you close the door it feels like you are going to pull the door vinyl right off. I have never had anything like this happen before.
As I was driving on 176th getting ready to turn on spanaway loop my wouldn't complete the right turn or stop so I had a head on collision with another truck and my air bags didn't deploy.
I was driving west bound on 176th st and as I approached the light I could not brake or turn my car to the right in which I had a head on collision with another vehicle. On in packed my airbags did not deploy! The driver of the other vehicle even told the officer he was trying to turn , his eyes were as big as a cows clearly he was in distress. Luckily neither of us were injured.
Takata recall---a code "service air bag" note appeared on the dash and is now at the dealer to replace the passenger air bag. The cost is over $1000. The vehicle was not in an accident, the code just came on while driving.
We own two chevy tahoe's, one is a 2008 and the other is a 2012. Both of them have cracking dashboards. I am highly concerned as the effect this could have on the airbags. Both vehicles are in very good condition except for the cracking dashboards.
The dashboard around the airbag is cracked causing an extremely unsafe environment for my self and family.
Dash is cracked over instrument panel, and 2 spots over the passenger side airbag. The cracks get bigger everyday and makes the dash rattle. Bought in 2016 and the cracks just keep getting worse. Along with the drivers side door handle that cracked inside.
Dashboard cracked above instrument panel on drivers side and at airbag on passenger side.
Takata recall
Cracked dashboard-cracks all above the instrument panel and around airbag
Multiple cracks in the dash and around air bags. Multiple people have stated the dash is a problem in the avalanche, silverado and tahoe yet the dealership charges an astronomical amount to replace the dash.
Dash has split into the passenger airbag container and now into the cowling that covers the instrument panel. This has all happened since 10-3-2015 with less than 80000 miles on car that is garaged and dash protected from sun when out of garage. Splits occurred overnight in both cases when car was parked and weather was not extreme; got in car in a.m. And discovered split #1 (image 1)and same with split #2 (image 2) on 11-16-16 that has now forked (image 3) in the past month. I have never used armor all on the dash. It has never sat out in inclement weather.
Dash cracked by the passenger side airbag
Takata recall I called baierl chevrolet in wexford, pennsylvania about the recall. According to the website my vehicle is affected. The dealership said they have no information about this recall and therefore will not make an appointment to look at my tahoe. Who is right? The website? Or baierl chevrolet? This needs to be confirmed, as I am currently driving children around in my tahoe.
This week the temperature fluctuated drastically. My tahoe was in the garage for 2 solid days. I pulled it out the next two days and drove to work like any normal day but the temperatures were cold in the mornings and warmed up through the day. Today we pulled the tahoe out of the garage, got in to go to church and noticed that the dash had cracked in the upper corner of the airbag compartment towards the air vent. I am very concerned that should I be in an accident and the airbag deploy, that shards of plastic would break and be impelled through the vehicle possible harming my family.
I currently own a 2012 tahoe that the dashboard has cracked over the drivers area and cracked in two place on the passenger airbag causing a serious safety issue should the airbag deploy it could seriously injure someone or kill them
My tahoe has dash cracks from poorly constructed dash risking dash collapse and cracks at the airbag with risk of flying debris upon release of airbag resulting in injuring occupants. Chevrolet not interested in replacing. Purchased the vehicle like this at 75000 miles and discovered this is a very common issue in all the chevrolet and gm vehicles from years 2007-2014.
Dash is developing cracks , most concerning is the crack leading to the airbag on the passenger side
