DASH IS CRACKED BY THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. TRUCK ONLY HAS 72K MILES BUT DASH CRACKED PREVIOUS TO 50K MILES. I BELIEVE THIS CRACK COULD EITHER CAUSE SHARDS FROM THE DASH OR THE AIRBAG TO FAIL IF DEPLOYED.

MY 2009 AVALANCHE LTZ HAS A DASH THAT HAS CRACKED COMPLETELY IN HALF, PLUS IS CRACKING ON THE AIRBAG PASSENGER SURROUND. MY CONCERN OTHER THAN SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IS LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHEN THE DASH PIECES LODGE THEMSELVES BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE DASH HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED OR DAMAGED BY THE OWNER IN ANY WAY, AND THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION I HAVE NOTICED THIS DEFECT IN EVERY TRUCK OF THIS TYPE. PLEASE HAVE AN AGENT CONTACT ME IF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS NECESSARY. MY LOCAL DEALER WANTS $1600 TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY THE AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP THAT THE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, BUT THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT RELEASED INSTRUCTIONS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED ME TO WAIT UNTIL I RECEIVED FURTHER NOTIFICATION. I RECEIVED A NOTICE SAYING THAT TAKATA HAD FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY AND I NEEDED TO IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULE A REPAIR WITH AN AUTHORIZED DEALER.

MY DASHBOARD HAS 2 CRACKS EXTENDING FROM EACH CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG PANEL. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THE SAME TYPE OF CRACKAGE AND I BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD SEND OUT A RECALL TO REPAIR ALL OF THE CRACKED DASHBOARDS. I BELIEVE THAT THERE MAYBE AN ISSUE IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS.
