Description of the problem	April of 2016 the dashboard on my 2012 tahoe had crack to show up at my airbag. I took it to my dealership to ask if this is a hazard. They agree that the location made it a hazard. They also told me that i was not the first to come to them with this same problem in the exact same area. The dealership said that there was a lawsuit in place to have the dashboard replace by gmc. They then told me that other cracks would form over time because that is what is happening to other vehicle owners with this same vehicle. Unfortunately, they were correct. A few months later another crack showed up on my driver side. I took it back to dealership and they once again said that this is exactly what is happening to everyone else. I asked if there was anything they could do for me. They could replace it but then said, that gmc should really step up and make this a recall. As i research this online, i found where this is happening to a lot of people that have 2012 gmc tahoe. This is hazard to anyone that is in the car. According to the experts at my dealership, the crack at the airbag could get cut or mess it up from deploying. Plus if i was to get into a wreck the pieces could easily break off and cause more physical harm. We have spent a lot on buying this top of the line 2012 gmc ltz tahoe. We understand that over time different parts of the vehicle will need to be replace like rubber seals around the door, door handles & other things that come with normal wear and tear. However, replacing a dashboard should not be on this list. Especially when this is happening to thousands of other vehicles. The cracks are happening in the exact same spot in both places. The cracks are getting worse. I really would hope that gmc would step up & do the right thing to place a recall on the dashboard before someone gets injured. If they care about peoples lives, there should not be a problem.
