2010 Chevrolet Tahoe other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I wanted to express a concern regarding my vehicle. There are several wires exposed on my dashboard where multiple cracks have developed over time. I have been hesitant to bring the vehicle in for the airbag recall replacement because I am concerned that the existing damage to the dashboard could worsen during the repair process. My primary worry is that additional cracking could expose more wiring to heat, which may increase the risk of electrical issues, wire corrosion, or even a potential fire hazard. I would appreciate any guidance on how this situation could be addressed safely while completing the necessary recall work. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your advice on the best next steps.

Dash board is cracking around passanger side air bag and above instrument panel. Could shatter into pieces upon air bag deployment sending shards of dashboard flying. Could lacerate air bags. GM is aware of the problem but failed to recall vehicles from 2007 to 2013 Silverado, Tahoe,and Suburban

To Whom It May Concern, I have a 2010 Tahoe LTZ which has a cracked dashboard. I have called around to get this fixed and this is very expensive at the dealership for over $1500. I had checked around and found out that this is a common issue with certain types of GM vehicles and mine is on the list. I will like for this to be replaced by GM because because this is truly a safety issue because the cracks are on the driver side near the airbags.

THE FRONT DASH HAS CRACKED PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY IN 2 PLACES. THIS OCCURRED FROM THE SUN WITH NO OTHER FACTORS COMING INTO PLAY. THE DRIVER SEAT FABRIC DOES NOT STAY ATTACHED UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SEAT. APPEARS IT IS MISSING A CLIP OR A POOR DESIGN THAT DOES NOT SECURE LOWER FABRIC SECURE TO THE SEAT. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL OVER. NOT SURE IF IT'S IN THE STEERING COLUMN ITSELF OR FROM ANOTHER PIECE/FABRICATION MALFUNCTION.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THIS LEADS TO DASH MOVEMENT WHILE IN MOTION, WHICH IS DISTRACTING. ALL THE CLIPS ON THE FRONT DASH ASSEMBLY HAVE BROKEN OFF, PRESUMABLY FROM DASH MOVEMENT, WHICH LEAVES IT UNSECURED DURING A COLLISION.

ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING A 2010 CHEVY TAHOE I SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SCRATCH ON THE DASH BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I LOOKED AT IT CLOSER THE DASH SCRATCH WAS ACTUALLY A CRACK. WHEN I TOUCHED IT THE DASH CRACKED BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE IT WAS NOT TOUCHED.DEALER TOLD ME TO BUY A DASH COVER. NOT RIGHT ANSWER AFTER GIVING HIM $20,000.00 A WEEK EARLIER. TOLD ME IT WAS FROM THE SUN. THE MATERIAL USED WAS OF VERY POOR QUALITY BECAUSE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS. THEY COULD HAVE OFFERED TO INSTALL A DASH COVER AT THERE EXPENSE $100.00. VERY BAD DEALER CUSTOMER SUPPORT. WILL NEVER WALK IN THERE AGAIN FOR ANYTHING. THAT IS WHY I DO NOT LIKE CAR DEALERS. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD EXPERIENCE BUT THEY RUINED IT OVER A $100.00 PART. AND A KNOWN DEFECT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY.

THE PLASTIC DASH COVER IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. A SMALL CRACK LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT AND NUMEROUS CRACKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOMED AREA ABOVE THE CLUSTER OF GAUGES. THIS DOES CONCERN ME BECAUSE IF A FRONTAL ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, I FEAR THE PLASTIC DASH WILL CERTAINLY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND I HEARD A LOUD POP.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 IN 2011 AND THE DASH CRACKED IN 2012. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TWICE AND CHEVY WILL STILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS POOR QUALITY AND MANUFACTURING. A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND HAD NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SHOULD NOT HAVE COSMETIC DAMAGE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE COMPANY. MY TRUCK WAS WORTH 48,000 AT THE TIME AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A REPAIR CAUSED BY POOR QUALITY OF THEIR MATERIALS. NOW MY VEHICLE IS 9 YEARS OLD AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN MY SON WAS DRIVING.... THERE WAS NO WRECK OR IMPACT WITH ANYTHING AND THEY DEPLOYED. THE QUALITY USED BY CHEVY IS TERRIBLE AND I DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING ANYTHING ELSE FROM A COMPANY THAT SELLS OVER PRICED VEHICLES WITH CHEAP AND FAULTY PARTS THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

THE CRACKING DASH, IN MY OPINION, ON A 2010 CHEVY TAHOE HAS BEEN A LONG RUNNING ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR. ASIDE FROM THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE AND SAGGING, I FEEL THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT THERE WOULD BE MORE CHANCE FOR IMPROPER INFLATION OR FRAGMENTS FROM ALREADY BROKEN DASH BECOMING PROJECTILES. THE BLIND EYE THAT HAS BEEN TURNED TO THIS ISSUE FROM THE POWERS AT BE IS ASTONISHING. I BELIEVE THE CONSUMER HAS BEEN DONE AN UNJUST SERVICE WHILE THE MANUFACTURER IS GETTING AWAY WITH NOT HAVING TO CORRECT A SAFETY FAULT.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2010 TAHOE HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS AND IS BROKEN ALL OVER FROM NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY PEOPLE WITH GM VEHICLES OF THIS NATURE AND THE COMPANY WON'T HELP ME REPAIR OR REPLACE MY DASH. I'M SCARED THAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THAT THE AIRBAGS WONT DEPLOY OR IF THEY DO, IT WILL BE WITH THOUSANDS OF DANGEROUS BROKEN PLASTIC CHARDS! I AM SEEKING HELP IN THIS MATTER SO THAT THE COMPANY CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR PRODUCT HAS FAULTS AND IS PUTTING CONSUMERS IN RISK OF SERIOUS HARM AND INJURY.
