MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN GETTING CRACKS IN IT FOR YEARS AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL EFFECT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IF I EVER HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS. ALSO I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES BREAKING AND COMING OFF. AS OF THIS MOMENT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY DON'T STAND BEHIND IT.

POOR DASH DESIGN THAT CRACKED WHEN THE VEHICLE HIT 45,000 MILES. IT POSES A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS BECAUSE THE CRACK IS IN THE CORNER SURROUNDING THE AIR BAG. NEITHER GM OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY WILL COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. NEITHER SEEMS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY, BUT WHY SHOULD THEY BECAUSE IT'S NOT THEIR FAMILY ASSUMING ANY RISK.
