THE DASH IS CRACKING ALL OVER AND NEXT TO THE AIR BAD. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IT WOULD SEND PIECES ALL OVER. THANKS

MY DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS THAT JUST APPEARED, ONE OF THE CRACKS IS RIGHT WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS. MY VEHICLE HAS 76000 MILES IM BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY, I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE BUT YET GM IS REFUSING TO ISSUE A RECALL, EVEN THOUGHT THE AIRBAG IS BEING COMPROMISED , MY VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A GARAGE, I KEEP IT IN EXCELLENT SHAPE BECAUSE I ENTER IT IN CAR SHOWS , I'M HOPING THAT ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ARE BEING TAKEN SERIOUS, AND GM ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BY A AIRBAG THAT GETS INFLATED AND BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IT GETS INBEDDED IN SOMEONES FACE OR HEAD, OR IT CAUSES SOMEONE TO LOOSE AN EYE, LIKE I STATED, THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'M SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING CONTACTING A LAWYER ABOUT THIS MATTER. IT'S A SERIOUS MATTER , BUT GM IS TREATING IT LIKE IT'S NOT, PUTTING PEOPLES LIFE IN DANGER.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN NEARING A STOP LIGHT AT EST. 15 MPH I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND IT WAS LIKE STEPPING ON A ROCK. THE PEDAL DID NOT MOVE. I POUNDED ON THE PEDAL AND FINALLY HAD ENOUGH BRAKE TO STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. AFTERWARDS THE BRAKES WERE GOOD. THIS WAS REPEATED TWICE MORE. I TOOK IT TO A BRAKE SHOP WHERE THEY CHECKED ALL MECHANICAL FUNCTION AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER AND FOUND NO CODES. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES. DURING A TEST DRIVE THE MECHANIC UNHOOKED THE VACUUM LINE AND HAD NO VACUUM. HE FOUND THE MOTOR WAS MAKING VACUUM. BACK AT THE SHOP HE SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE VACUUM BOOSTER. WHEN IT WAS REPLACED THE BRAKES WORKED AS THEY ALWAYS HAD EXCEPT WHEN THEY DIDN'T WORK. NOW THAT THE BOOSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED I DO NOT KNOW IF THE PROBLEM IS FIXED SINCE IT IS A RANDOM PROBLEM. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRUST THE BRAKES UNTIL AT LEAST A MONTH GOES BY WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 29000 MILES ON IT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED TWO VERY SIGNIFICANT CRACKS ONE CONCERNS ME BECAUSE IT IS LOCATED WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS. THE CRACK HAS LEFT A VERY SHARP EDGE NEXT TO THE AIR BAG AND I AM CONCERNED IF THE BAG DEPLOYS THIS EDGE COULD CUT THE AIRBAG.
