2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DASH HAS STARTED CRACKING MORE STARTED ON TOP BY GAUGES AND NOW HAS ANOTHER CRACK BY AIRBAG ON PASS SIDE. CALLED DEALERSHIP SAID ITS OUT OF WARRANTY GM WONT COVER IT, ALTHOUGH ITS MANUFACTURED DEFECT.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE IS CRACKED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. I SEE MANY CHEVY TAHOE OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL YET AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD NOT ONLY GET WORST BUT POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BASED ON THE LOCATION OF THE CRACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD SEVERE FRACTURES ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA. THE FRACTURE EXTENDED AND CAUSED THE DASHBOARD TO SEPARATE FROM THE BASE, EXPOSING THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD FAILURE WAS NOT RECALLED. THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. UPDATED 04/14/16*LJ

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2009 TAHOE CRACKED JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THEN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER CRACKED ABOVE THE GAUGE CLUSTER. I CONTACTED GM, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE, AS I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY - SINCE IT WAS SO CLOSE TO THE AIR BAG.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ON PASSENGER SIDE AROUND AIRBAG ALSO ON DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE STEERING COLUM. I HAVE 2 CRACKS ON EACH SIDE OF MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THE SAME MAKE,MODEL AND YEAR THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

IN OCTOBER OF 2015, I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE ON A CITY STREET DURING NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS. AS I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD "POP" NOISE THAT I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT CAME FROM AN OBJECT HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. UPON FURTHER REVIEW, I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD HAD INEXPLICABLY CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. THE CRACKS ARE RATHER LARGE AND I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL JEOPARDIZE THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS REGARDING THIS MATTER.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES, PIECES FALLING OFF INSIDE DASH AND RATTLING. 2 PLACES ON DASH WHERE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS AND KEEPS GETTING WORSE. AFRAID OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ON PASSENGER SIDE WITH THE CRACKS ON THE DEPLOYMENT AREA AND POSSIBLY HAVING SHARDS OF HARD DASH PIECES FLYING AND HITTING/HURTING SOMEONE ELSE OR MYSELF.

MY DASH IS CRACKED ACROSS HUMP OVER SPEEDOMETER GAUGES AND CRACKED ON SIDE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG. JUST GOT IN MY CAR ONE MORNING TO NOTICE THE DASH CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. WORRY ABOUT IT CRACKING MORE AND IF PASSENGER AIRBAG GOES OFF, POSSIBLY SOME PIECES BREAK OFF AND FLY WITH AIRBAG.

CRACKED DASH. GM IS OFFERING NO HELP. THEY ACT LIKE THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. MY DASH IS CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND STARTING TO BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.
