THE VEHICLES DASHBOARD IS BEGINNING TO CRACK IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. THIS TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S ONLY USED AS A LEISURE VEHICLE. ONE OF THE AREAS OF MAJOR CONCERN IS, THE CRACK THAT LEADS DIRECTLY TO THE AIRBAG. IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, I BELIEVE THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD BE THROWN ALL OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THERE'S NO REASON FOR THIS DASHBOARD TO CRACK AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE CLOSE TO $1,000 DOLLARS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, AND A HUGE OVERSIGHT ON QUALITY CONTROL.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES, AND I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. I FEAR THE AIRBAG COULD GO OFF AND SEND FLYING PLASTIC DEBRIS. GM SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING

AFTER I GOT A RECALL LETTER IN REGARD TO THE AIR BAGS, I DECIDED TO LOOK AT MY DASH JUST AS A VISUAL INSPECTION. I HAVE A DASH COVER TO PROTECT IT FROM THE HEAT. AS I TOOK IT OFF THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THE CRACKED DASH ABOVE MY GAUGE CLUSTER, RIGHT ON THE "HUMP". VERY DISAPPOINTED SINCE I TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND I DON'T APPLY ANY SOLVENTS ON THE DASH. MOSTLY SOAP AND WATER THEN IF ANY A WATER BASED CLEANER/ PROTECTOR.

IT INITIALLY STARTED BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND NOW THERE IS A CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL AS ONE STARTING OVER THE GAUGES. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO AN ACCIDENT WOULD DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS SENDING SHARDS OF THE DASH BOARD FLYING DIRECTLY INTO THE PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE.
