| Description of the problem | I have 2 large cracks in the dashboard of my 2009 chevy tahoe ltz. I have always kept a sunshield in the window to reduce interior heat and damage to dash. But, this didn't work. The damage happened while the vehicle was in front of my home. I believe that the problem could have been avoided if the manufacturer had used a thicker material (plastic) for the dash. I love the vehicle. But, hate to look at the cracks every time i get in. I inquired into replacement of the dash and was given a rough estimate of $1500-1800. |
