THE DASH AROUND THE AIR BAG HAS FORMED A CRACK AND UPON DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG COULD RESULT IN SHARP PLASTIC BREAKING OFF AND HITTING PASSENGERS. ALONG WITH THE SHARP PLASTIC IT COULD RESULT IN THE RUPTURE OF THE AIRBAG AND COULD RESULT IN A PASSENGER DEATH. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON GM DASHES FROM 2007.5-2013. GM WILL NOT OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH OVER 6000 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/?FREF=NF

FOR THE PRODUCTION YEARS 2007 THROUGH 2012, GENERAL MOTORS HAS HAD EXTENSIVE ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARDS CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AS WELL AS OTHER AREAS OF THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE A 2008 SILVERADO WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES ON IT. I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS LOCATED. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY (HUFFINES CHEVROLET IN PLANO, TX) TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE DASHBOARD. THEY WERE VERY KIND (AS USUAL) AND OFFERED TO EXTEND ME A COURTESY DISCOUNT TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD FOR $500.00 VERSUS THE FULL PRICE OF $1,168.00. WHILE THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD THAT HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN SILVERADO'S, SIERRA'S, AVALANCHES, AND SUBURBAN'S FOR 7 PRODUCTION YEARS. BESIDES THE EXPENSE, THESE CRACKED DASHBOARDS REPRESENT MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. IF THE AIRBAG WAS EVER DEPLOYED, BOTH PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS WILL BE SUBJECTED TO INJURY BY HARD PLASTIC SHRAPNEL FLYING THROUGHOUT THE CABIN. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND OFFER ITS CUSTOMERS A FREE REPLACEMENT OF THESE DANGEROUS BROKEN DASHBOARDS.

I HAVE A 2008 SILVERADO 2500HD WITH 48,000 MILES ON IT AND JUST NOTICED TWO CRACKS HAVE FORMED ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHEVROLET AT NO CHARGE. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN STORED SUN PROTECTED EXCEPT WHEN TRAVELING. AT THAT TIME A DASH SCREEN IS USED FOR SUN PROTECTION. I CONTACTED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY HAD ME TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER FOR EXAMINATION. I HAD MY VEHICLE EXAMINED AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON MARCH 21, 2016. THEY EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, TOOK PHOTOS AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME WITH THE DECISION. THEY DID SO LATER THAT DAY BUT THE DECISION WAS TO REPLACE THE DASH WHICH WOULD BE $1000.00 OF WHICH GM WOULD BE WILLING TO PICK UP HALF, SO MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE WOULD BE $500.00. I REFUSED THIS OFFER AND TOLD THE DEALER I WOULD BE CONTACTING THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TO DISPUTE ME HAVING TO PAY $500.00 OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE TO CORRECT A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I CONTACTED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER IMMEDIATELY VIA PHONE AND ASKED THAT THE ISSUE BE ELEVATED TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSON. I PROVIDED THE REPRESENTATIVE ALL THE INFORMATION SHE REQUESTED FROM ME AND SHE ASSURED ME THAT SHE WOULD ELEVATE THE ISSUE TO THE SENIOR MANAGER IN MY AREA AND THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME WITHIN 48 HOURS WITH A DECISION. AS OF THIS WRITING I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE AIRBAG ON HE PASSENGERS SIDE WERE TO DEPLOY IT WOULD SENT PLASTIC SHRAPNEL INTO THE DRIVER CAUSING SEVERE INJURY. I KNOW THIS TO BE A FACT BECAUSE I WORKED ON AIRBAG TECHNOLOGY BACK IN THE 80'S AND SAW VIDEOS OF WHAT OCCURS UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN PARTICLES ARE SENT FLYING. THINK OF A STRAW BEING DRIVEN INTO A TREE DURING A TORNADO. SAME PRINCIPLE.
