Developed cracks in dash starting in 2018 and progressively got worse. Rattles when you drive. Driver door pull has also broken in several places and has pinched my hand multiple times. Dealer is aware this is a common problem but will need to replace whole door panel and dash at my expense. Transmission went at 81,000. Chevy, you can do better. I was warned not to buy this, but I took my chances. It feels very lemony sour now.
There was a wreck, where the opposing driver pulled out to take a left turn into oncoming traffic, 10 ft in front of [xxx] (owner of Tahoe). Impact was on front passenger side. Airbag did not deploy effectively resulting in [xxx] have a broken neck and bone Fusion. Airbags were exploded open. These events might not have occurred if proper equipment was there. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
I noticed that my dash cracked in two places. My Tahoe is always parked in the garage and not from sun damage. I purchased new, and had to take it back to fix the dash because it wasn't aligned correctly.
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.

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.
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.

After 5 years of garage kept vehicle, purchased a new car to be kept in garage, only 2 days of having this SUV outside the dash cracks, very disappointed on GM customer service I have 6 yr 100000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. I worry about where the crack is right by the passenger in dash airbag
The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the dashboard had a crack that spread to the air bag area. The dealer diagnosed that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000.
My dash board is cracked in two locations, one above the passenger seat airbag. I am concerned that it will cause injury if the air bag is inflated. The vehicle is in excellent condition and has been in no accidents. The dashboard material is defective and has failed.
