| Description of the problem | There is a crack in the airbag area of the dashboard. I reported this to gm in march 2016 and they refuse to correct the issue. Today, there is a new crack on the dashboard near the drivers side now. This is a known issue with these cars. The same thing happened to my 2007 chevy avalanche, and in 2010, gm replaced it without any issues. Now with the tahoe, they refuse. The vehicle is parked under a garage awning and we never use anything but a dry rag to clean the dashboards. This is no fault of ours, and appears to be a known issue with chevy manufacturing. |
