MY DASH CRACKED RIGHT BY THE AIRBAG AND HAS CAUSED MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. NOW MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TOGGLES BETWEEN ON AND OFF. MY DASH CONTINUES TO FALL APART EVEN WITH A DASH MAT COVERING IT. I DON'T KNOW IF MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IF NEEDED. PLUS I WORRY ABOUT SHARDS OF PLASTIC HURTING ME OR MY FAMILY. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DAY THE CRACK SHOWED UP BUT I NOTICE IT IN JANUARY 2017 WHILE GETTING A STUFFED ANIMAL OUT OF THE TRUCK. OVER THE PAST MONTHS, THE CRACKS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT THERE IS A HOLE IN THE DASH FROM THE SHAKING WHILE I DRIVING AND NOTHING BEING SECURE.

MAJOR DASH CRACKING ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DASH HUMP. 3-4" CRACK ON THE LEFT OF THE HUMP, APPROX 6-8" ON THE RIGHT. ANOTHER CRACK STARTING AT THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH, GOING THROUGH THE DASH MOUNTED SPEAKER OPENING FROM THE FRONT VENTS ALL THE WAY TO THE WOOD TRIM ABOVE THE RADIO (6-8"). ANOTHER CRACK TO THE FRONT LEFT OF THE AIRBAG, APPROX 2" LONG. RATTLING ON EVERY LITTLE BUMP. I BELIEVE THIS HAS ALSO COMPROMISED SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS THAT CONTROL THE DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS. SEVERAL OF THE CRACKS WERE NOTICED IN THE MORNING BEFORE MOVING THE VEHICLE AND WERE NOT SEEN THE PREVIOUS NIGHT.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND FLEXES LARGE AMOUNTS DURING NORMAL IN TOWN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE ARE SHARP EDGES THAT CONCERN ME IF WE WERE INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND NEVER ABUSED IN ANY WAY. THE CRACKS CONTINUE TO WORSEN AND ARE APPARENTLY FROM THE LACK OF REINFORCEMENT OR MATERIALS DEFECT IN THE DASH ITSELF BUT THE DIRECT CAUSE IS UNKNOWN TO ME.

IT IS A KNOW ISSUE THE ANY GM FROM 2007-2013 HAVE ISSUES IN THE DASHBOARD GETTING CRACKED. MINE IS A 2009 CHEVY AVALANCHE AND MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT TO GET THE CUSTOMERS TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HOW CAN YOU HELP THE CONSUMERS GET THEIR DASHBOARDS FIXED?

TAKATA RECALL... IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR A RECALL WITH THIS HIGH LEVEL OF DANGER AND LIABILITY TO STAY UNRESOLVED WITH NO DATE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM APPALLED THAT A RECALL IS IDENTIFIED MAY 2016 AND STILL SITS WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING STATING GM'S COVERAGE OF LIABILITY SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR WITH THESE INFLATORS. THIS IS A HUGE RISK IN MY OPINION TO MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF AS USERS OF THIS VEHICLE. I EXPECT AN EXPEDITED REPAIR. I DON'T FEEL IT'S FAIR TO THE RISK OF OUR LIVES. WE ARE LONG TIME GM PRODUCT PURCHASERS AND HOPED TO PURCHASE GM FOR THE NEXT VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE EXPERIENCE ANY DISREGARD TO CORRECTING A POTENTIAL MAJOR PROBLEM.
