MY DASH STARTING CRACKING AT 30K MILES. I ASSUME IT WAS JUST MY LUCK. I LOOKED UP REPLACEMENT PARTS TO FIX MY DASH, AND I STUMBLED UPON THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE... GM CHARGED US GOOD MONEY FOR OUR VEHICLES. I BOUGHT FOR BEING A SAFE VEHICLE. I'M NOT SURE IF MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY FOR MY PASSENGER AND WHERE WILL ALL THE SHREDDED DASH PLASTIC WILL HAVE TO BE PICKED OUT OF ME AND MY PASSENGERS BODIES...

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES. ONE NEAR THE STEERING WHEEL, THE OTHER ONE IS MID DASH AND THE LAST ONE IS NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I NOTICED THIS FIRST AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LATER IT HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I WOULD HATE TO KNOW THAT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHERE TO GO OFF THAT CHUNKS OF THE DASHBOARD MIGHT GO FLYING AND INJURE ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. MY TRUCK WAS PARKED WITH ME AND MY WIFE SITTING IN IT. IT WAS CRUNK AND WHEN IT HAPPENED IT WAS VERY VIOLENT CAUSING US TO WORRY THAT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AND CAUSE INJURY TO SOMEONE.

MY DASH IS CRACKED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF AIRBAG. THIS HAPPENED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. THE DASH NOW IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF AIRBAG AND ALSO ON DRIVERSIDE OF DASH. I HAVE CONTACTED DEALER AND ALSO GENERAL MOTORS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN 2014. I ALSO CONTACTED THEM AGAIN IN 2015, I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THEY TOLD ME THAT I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM AND I NEED TO FIX THIS OR I AM RESPONSIBLE IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYING OR A PIECE OF THE DASH INJURING SOMEONE IN THE EVENT THAT THE AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY. I FEEL THIS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.
