The dash board is cracking and falling apart. The vehicle is parked inside the garage daily. For what these vehicles cost, the dash shouldn't be falling apart. Very sad on GM's part.
1. I came out to go to work and the dash board had cracked and it is progressively getting worse. The crack is above the speedometer and on the passenger side near the air bag. 2. water is leaking in the passenger head board causing water to leak in the seat belt and wet it.

Dash. Cracked on drivers side and also passenger side. Then a larger cracked appeared going higher up over the control panel. The year after we purchased this vehicle new, we kept hearing a rattle. As time went on the noise increased and the hairline crack became larger. We have had to insert a foam piece to control the rattleling. Our so. Has a 2010 Chevy Tahoe and has the same issue

After heavy rain I noticed that both of my back doors sounded like there was a gallon of water inside of them. I read that this is a very common issue! I can only imagine the amount of rusting happening inside of there as well as electrical damage & risks of having wet speakers & wiring inside the door. Unacceptable. This should be a recall.

The dash board has cracked at the airbag cover over on the passenger side, also on the driver side dash it has cracked and beginning to create a hole. I'm just now finding that there has been other complaints on this and other Chevy models.
Cracked dash- I found the dash of my 2010 Tahoe cracked by the passenger air bag and above the instrument cluster. Upon doing research I found that numerous other Chevy owners are experiencing the same issue and GM continues to deny that it is an issue with their vehicles and do a recall even though they all crack in the same areas.

My dash is cracked! this is a defect and should be a recall. I want to get this fixed before it totally falls apart. The vehicle was parked when I noticed it.
There are stress cracks in a faulty dashboard that has had no blunt force. These cracks are located at the instrument cluster and airbag compartment. The vehicle was parked overnight outdoors in the cool air, and the cracks appeared sometime after the defroster or possibly the heat of the day warmed the vehicle
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.
