Dash cracked in multiple locations, one over the instrument panel, second one upper left of passenger airbag, third one upper right of same airbag. Center clip on main part of dash behind speaker broke off due to poor design/cheap material. First noticed dash vibrating when vehicle in motion on highway, downhill from there. Took to dealer and GM, unwilling to repair/replace without $. quick search shows it to be a major issue in 2007+ Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe, escalades, Sierra, Silverado. Not sure what impact these cracks will have on airbag deployment/passenger safety.

Dash board cracked near stealing column while vehicle was stationary. Went online and found this is a common issue with 07-13 GM trucks and SUVS. This could end up as a safety issue because if the dash cracks more while driving pieces could fly up and hit driver causing an accident. This really needs to be looked at and GM needs to recall these dash boards. Poor design. There is no support in the middle of the dash. The only support is on either end of the windshield vents.

The dash started cracking in 4 places and is now falling apart.

My dashboard cracked for no reason. It's been kept out of the sun and high temperatures. Also back up sensors stopped working, I had them replaced by the dealer. But only lasted 6 months

- Duxbury, MA, USA

My dashboard is cracking and pieces are falling off. There is now a bad rattle and I'm afaid if there is a accident, the dash will fall apart and sharp pieces of dash will fly around the cab.

Crack in dashboard by airbag concerning if airbag deployed could be ripped by broken plastic of dash or possibly project plastic throughout vehcile injuring passengers. Seems to be a common problem in several models of GM from 2007-2013 and GM refuses to address the problem or help with replacing the broken parts.

Another faulty GM dashboard. Flaps around while driving - center clip blown out with no structural support to hold two pieces together. Leading cause of dashboard cracking in similar GM vehicles. Concern over air bag effectiveness on account of this issue.

Cracked dashboard over air bag

- Telford, PA, USA

I have had my Chevrolet Avalanche dashboard repaired twice for cracking/rattling. The issue seems to be that the clasp underneath the center speaker of the dash is faulty and breaks easily. This causes the rattling which causes the cracking. The cracks appear right above the instrument gauge and the passenger airbag. The concern is that if cracked badly enough, it could send pieces of plastic everywhere in the case of an airbag deployment. GM will not fix the issue.

The dash in my Chevrolet Avalanche has become more and more loose where the two main dash pieces connect, or so I thought. Clearly the middle speaker in the dash is too heavy for one of the pieces (seat facing piece) and it broke the snap that "held" the two of them together. After realizing exactly what was happening, I wanted to get it fixed but really did not know who to turn to. In one of the pictures you can clearly see where a piece of the dash has actually broken and it has fallen into the inner/underneath of the dash and I do not know where it went. Now, both sides (the airbag corner where it all started and just at the end of the steering wheel rise in the dash) the plastic is cracking. The airbag side is clearly worse than the steering wheel side. How do I get this fixed" is there a recall on this? how much does something like this cost"

Dash cracked near driver instrument panel and passenger airbag compartment.

- Gastonia, NC, USA

The dash board on my 2010 Avalanche has two cracks one right beside the passenger airbag and the other right over the steering wheel. In case of an accident I'm sure the dash would explode and debris/plastic from the dash sharp pieces would fly into someone's face.

Dash cracked and piece is missing by the passenger side air bag. Couple weeks later dash started cracking ove instrument cluster area.

- Decatur, IL, USA

The top of the dash is cracking, above the instrument panel hump on the drivers side. The vehicle is well taken care of; oil changes done every 3K miles, all fluids changed at correct intervals, premium gasoline, never taken off-road, never driven over 80 mph, etc. It seems that the crack developed through no fault of my own and appears to be a manufacturing defect. Being a life long GM buyer and fan, I have purchased more than GM 5 vehicles and plan to buy more, it disappoints me that they are not issuing a recall.

- San Jose, CA, USA

The dashboard has cracked in 2 locations. The 1st runs into the corner of the passenger airbag compartment. The 2nd is over the instrument cluster and now I have a check engine light on. Not sure yet of the 2 are related. The first crack just seemed to appear. The 2nd crack (which is much worse now) I could hear it crack when I started the engine sitting still.

- Aberdeen, OH, USA

Dash is cracked above instrument panel and also cracked by passenger airbag compartment.

- Nazareth, PA, USA

For no apparent reason, my dash started cracking next to the passenger airbag at around 48,000 miles. The large crack began to spread across the dash until, after a few months, it was all the way across to the steering wheel. Now small cracks are beginning to spider out. There seems to be no support underneath the dash and with every small bump in the road it becomes worse and worse. The dash must be made of an inferior material for it to crack so easily. If the air bag does inflate, the dashboard could burst into thousands of sharp pieces that could be a cause of serious injury or death. I have gotten a repair estimate to replace the dash for $1,500. However, some of the thousands of people that have this same problem say they have had the dash replaced, only to have it crack again. GM has offered to pay half of the replacement cost if I have it repaired within 60 days, but they should be responsible for fixing all of their defective dashboards with a good quality product at 100% since this is obviously a manufacturer defect.

I have a 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche ltz my dash is cracking around center mount speaker on both sides all the way to air bag compartment, this is not normal wear and tear, and could be a safety issue with air bag. There is no support around speaker is what is causing issue.
