| Description of the problem | 2012 tahoe dashboard cracked for the second time apparently due to defective material. Dashboard was replaced less than one year after purchasing it and 2 years later it cracked again. Vehicle has not been involved in any accidents and cracks appeared for no known reason. There have been many reports from other owners of gm vehicles and gm has not had a recall. Since the air bags are located in the dash, there could be a potential hazard if air bags are deployed. According to the dealership, gm is still using the same material and owners have to pay for part or all of the replacement after original 3-year manufacturer warranty. If it cracks again after one year of installation, we are looking at another repair bill! |
