| Description of the problem | While driving my vehicle i started to hear this cracking sound in which i noticed that the crack was coming across my dashboard. It started on the passenger front side from the airbag and came all the way across to the driver side and up towards steering wheel. Now it just flaps while driving as it is open and exposed and i am very concerned in regards to airbag safety at this point. My tahoe is in excellent condition might i add. Ironically my sister has the exact same car as me and she has the exact same crack in her dashboard as well starting and ending in the same place. |
