AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2016, I HAVE EXPERIENCED TWO(2) SEVERE DASHBOARD CRACKS. ONE CRACK IN FRONT OF MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AS I HEARD IT "CRACK". THE OTHER CRACK APPEARED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE THE AIR BAG PANEL. I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS CRACK APPEARED, BUT CONCERNS ME RELATIVE TO THE AIR BAG OPERATION/SAFETY. I HAVE DRILLED HOLES AT THE END OF THE CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE PROGRESSION, BUT THE CRACK CONTINUES TO GET LARGER. THE DASH APPARENTLY IS BECOMING BRITTLE AND THE CRACKS ARE CONTINUING TO GROW. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT SOON I WILL HAVE PIECES OF THE DASH COME OFF EXPOSING ELECTRICAL WIRING AND COMPONENTS BELOW THE DASH. DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERNS AND APPEARANCE ASPECTS, I AM HAVING THE DASH REPLACED BY MY DEALERSHIP AT A COST TO ME OF ALMOST $1,000. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS COMPONENT DEFECT ON THE INTERNET, AND AM SURPRISED THAT GM DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY CHEVROLET AVALANCHE DASHBOARD REPAIRED TWICE FOR CRACKING/RATTLING. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE THAT THE CLASP UNDERNEATH THE CENTER SPEAKER OF THE DASH IS FAULTY AND BREAKS EASILY. THIS CAUSES THE RATTLING WHICH CAUSES THE CRACKING. THE CRACKS APPEAR RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CONCERN IS THAT IF CRACKED BADLY ENOUGH, IT COULD SEND PIECES OF PLASTIC EVERYWHERE IN THE CASE OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. GM WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE.

THE DASH IN MY CHEVROLET AVALANCHE HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE LOOSE WHERE THE TWO MAIN DASH PIECES CONNECT, OR SO I THOUGHT. CLEARLY THE MIDDLE SPEAKER IN THE DASH IS TOO HEAVY FOR ONE OF THE PIECES (SEAT FACING PIECE) AND IT BROKE THE SNAP THAT "HELD" THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER. AFTER REALIZING EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING, I WANTED TO GET IT FIXED BUT REALLY DID NOT KNOW WHO TO TURN TO. IN ONE OF THE PICTURES YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHERE A PIECE OF THE DASH HAS ACTUALLY BROKEN AND IT HAS FALLEN INTO THE INNER/UNDERNEATH OF THE DASH AND I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT WENT. NOW, BOTH SIDES (THE AIRBAG CORNER WHERE IT ALL STARTED AND JUST AT THE END OF THE STEERING WHEEL RISE IN THE DASH) THE PLASTIC IS CRACKING. THE AIRBAG SIDE IS CLEARLY WORSE THAN THE STEERING WHEEL SIDE. HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED? IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? HOW MUCH DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS COST?

THE DASH BOARD ON MY 2010 AVALANCHE HAS TWO CRACKS ONE RIGHT BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE OTHER RIGHT OVER THE STEERING WHEEL . IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT I'M SURE THE DASH WOULD EXPLODE AND DEBRIS/PLASTIC FROM THE DASH SHARP PIECES WOULD FLY INTO SOMEONE'S FACE .

THE TOP OF THE DASH IS CRACKING, ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HUMP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE VEHICLE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF; OIL CHANGES DONE EVERY 3K MILES, ALL FLUIDS CHANGED AT CORRECT INTERVALS, PREMIUM GASOLINE, NEVER TAKEN OFF-ROAD, NEVER DRIVEN OVER 80 MPH, ETC. IT SEEMS THAT THE CRACK DEVELOPED THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. BEING A LIFE LONG GM BUYER AND FAN, I HAVE PURCHASED MORE THAN GM 5 VEHICLES AND PLAN TO BUY MORE, IT DISAPPOINTS ME THAT THEY ARE NOT ISSUING A RECALL.
