DASHBOARD AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG IS SPLITTING AS MANY OTHER ARE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD CAUSE STRESS ON THE DASH FROM ABRUPT AIRBAG INFLATION, PLASTIC COULD BECOME SHRAPNEL AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Z71 AND THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO MY GM DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOOK PHOTOS AND TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME BUT HAS NOT. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO TRY AND GET HIM TO HELP ME WITH GETTING THIS REPAIRED THROUGH GM AND HE SHOWS NO CONCERN. VEHICLE HAS SUSTAINED TO IMPACT THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS.

I HAVE A 2011 SILVERADO 1500 AND ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO MY DASH AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG STARTED TO CRACK. I NOW HAVE 2 CRACKS AND THE AREA FEELS LOOSE WHICH WORRIES ME THAT IN CASE OF A ACCIDENT WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ON THE PASSANGER SIDE, THAT THIS COULD IMPAIR THE SAFETY AND DESIGN FOR ITS PURPOSE.

THE TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES WHEN WE NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH RUNNING FROM THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE AIR BAG COVER AND THE DEFROSTER VENT. I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER TRUCKS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND HE ESTIMATED IT WOULD TAKE NEARLY $1,000 TO FIX. I WONDER IF THIS CRACK WOULD BE NEGATIVELY INFLUENCED IF THE AIR BAG EVER INFLATES CAUSING MORE DAMAGE OR INJURY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WE HAVE HAD A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL FEATURE ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE BUYING IT. RANDOMLY AND OUT OF NOWHERE IT WILL SHOW STABILITRAK OFF ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE ENGINE BECOMES SLUGGISH WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS, TO ME, IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION GETTING STUCK WHEN STARTING WHERE IT GRINDS THE STARTER. I HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND START IT AGAIN TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE STABILITRAK ISSUE. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

MYSELF AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS DASH'S ARE CRACKING RANDOMLY IN OUR CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUPS. MINE IS CRACKED JUST TO THE UPPER LEFT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM AND THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED AN ISSUE HAVE OFFERED TO PAY $590 TOWARDS THE REPAIR. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER THOUSAND PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME RESULTS OR WORSE. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE GM BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AS I BELIEVE THIS IS AN SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYING IN AN EMERGENCY. THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH SEVERAL THOUSAND MEMBERS DEDICATED TO THIS MATTER IT IS NAMED "07-13 GM CRACKED DASH SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL TRUCKS"

TAKATA RECALL THE DASH IN MY 2011 CHEVROLET PICKUP SUDDENLY CRACKED. IT IS CRACKED IN THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG I ASK MY CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL GM OWNERS THAT HAVE THW SAME PROBLEM . THE VENICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO EXTENDED PEROIDS OF SUNSHINE OR HOT WEATHER. THE VHICLE IS NORMALLY KEPT IN MY GARAGE WHEN NOT IN USE. PHOTOS COULD BE PRIVIDED BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
