TAKATA RECALL TWO YEARS AND STILL NO RESOLUTION FOR WHAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE A RECALL THAT CAN CAUSE EITHER SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY. ENOUGH TIME HAS PASSED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RESOLUTION OF THIS MATTER. I'M CONSIDERING PARKING THE VEHICLE FOR MY OWN SAFETY, IT WILL BE HARD TO SELL WITH THE AIRBAG RECALL. EVEN IF I COULD SELL IT, I WILL TAKE A LOSS ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY TO GET IT FIXED.

THESE SHARDS AND SHARP EDGES PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT. THESE CRACKS SEEM TO BE RELATED TO SHODDY CRAFTSMANSHIP/MATERIALS USED BY CHEVROLET AND HAVE GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS.

DASH HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN AT LEFT TOP CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL ON DRIVERS SIDE. ENTIRE DASH IS VERY BRITTLE. THIS COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS FOR ALL CHEVY AND GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S IN THIS YEAR VEHICLE AND THE YEARS FOLLOWING IT. WILL IT TAKE A PIECE OF DASH FLYING THROUGH SOMEONE'S JUGULAR VEIN TO GET GM TO FINALLY CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SAFETY?

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES, ONE IS RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, THE SECOND IS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS TOLD THIS IS HAPPENING IN ALL GM TRUCKS 2007-2013. GM AND THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX. I AM AFRAID THAT IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY THE DASH WILL BE SHRAPNEL. AND COSMETICALLY IT LOOKS HORRIBLE AND RATTLES. GM NEEDS TO RECALL.
