THE DASHBOARD HAS LARGE CRACKS BOTH IN FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AROUND THE AIRBAG. THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MORE THAN 4,000 GM TRUCK OWNERS. THE CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG ARE ESPECIALLY CONCERNING, AND LIKELY POSE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK WERE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. GM IS APPARENTLY AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND FAILS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES KEEP CUTTING PEOPLE BECAUSE THE CHROME COVERING IS PEELING UP AND THE EDGES OF IT ARE VERY SHARP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE ARE GETTING INTO OR OUT OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 60K MILES ON IT. DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE.

MY DASH IS CRACKED AND IT REFLECTS THE CRACK ON THE WINDSHIELDS AND CAUSES GLARE. IF THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY THE SHARP PLASTIC WOULD CUT YOU FROM THE BROKEN DASH. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
