DASHBOARD IN MY 2011 CHEVY AVALANCHE CRACKED NEAR THE AIRBAG WHICH I CONSIDER A SAFETY HAZARD. IF I GET IN AN AUTOMOBILE CRASH AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS I AM CONCERNED THAT SHARDS OF DASH WILL BE PROPELLED INTO THE CAB AND COULD HARM MY WIFE OR ME. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO EVEN PARTICPATE IN THE COST OF REPLACING THE DASHBOARD.

MY VEHICLE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED, MOST RECENTLY AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ANOTHER CRACK STARTED EARLIER DIRECTLY ABOVE THE VEHICLE GAUGE CLUSTER. THE MOST RECENT CRACK TO THE DASH NOW CAUSES THE DASH PANEL TO CONSISTENTLY SHAKE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF THE CRACKS OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY OR WHILE IN MOTION. THE CONCERN NOW INVOLVES THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND WHAT WILL OCCUR WITH THE DAMAGED DASH IF THE AIRBAG MUST DEPLOY. WILL IT PROPERLY DEPLOY AND IF IT MUST, WILL THE DAMAGED DASH HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE VEHICLE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS? FINALLY, THE DAMAGED DASH IS A DISTRACTION TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR WITH CONSTANT VIBRATION AND IS DIRECTLY AHEAD IN THE VEHICLE OPERATORS FIELD OF VISION.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN A COUPLE OF PLACES, SIMILAR TO MANY OTHERS WITH THIS VEHICLE TYPE. ONE CRACK IS JUST ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, THE OTHER IS BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. WORRIED THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS, PHOTOS, AND DOCUMENTED CASES, THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY GM.

MY DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES, BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AS NEAR AS I CAN TELL IT OCCURRED WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. HIGHWAY 99 FROM ATHENS, AL TO SALEM, AL. WE ARE AFRAID THAT, IF ANYTHING OCCURS TO CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO INFLATE IT WILL SEND SHARDS OF PLASTIC FLYING THROUGH THE CAB.
