THE DASH IS CRACKED AT MULTIPLE PLACES INCLUDING UP TO THE AIRBAG. I WAS TOLD BY THE PEOPLE WHO REPAIRS WINDSHIELD THAT THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM FOR AVALANCHE, SILVERADO SUBURBAN. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE A RECALL THEY ARE QUOTING ME A $1497 REPAIR FEE TO REPLACE THE DASH AT THE DEALER. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET FOR ASSISTANCE.

MY DASH BOARD HAS CRACKS AND I AM CONCERNED THAT SHOULD THE AIR BAG GO OFF IN AN ACCIDENT THE CRACKED DASH MAY CAUSE INJURY BEYOND NORMAL. IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I CALL TO COMPLAIN ON THE OFFICIAL GM HOTLINE AND WAS DISMISSED BY THE INTERVIEWER.

MY DEALER WORKED ON MY AC COMPONENTS IN 2015 (NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE) TO REPLACE THE AC CONTROLLER COMPONENTS, SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIR MY DASH CRACKED WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY ABOUT TO CRANK THE VEHICLE. ON THE DRIVER SIDE OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS IT HAS CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN SIZE AND NOW IS CRACKED COMPLETELY CAUSING THE DASH TO BE TWO SEPARATE PIECES. SAFETY ISSUES AND CONCERNS ARE IF A CRASH OCCURS WILL THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE BE SAFE OF SHARP FLYING DEBRIS WITHIN THE CAB. MY CONCERN IS NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT MY PASSENGERS. I HAVE INQUIRED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT REPLACING THE PART BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AT THE TIME IT INITIALLY CRACKED. MILEAGE OF INITIAL CRACK WAS APPROX 75,000.

I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN IT STARTED, BUT IT WAS FINE THIS SUMMER (I ESTIMATED 11/10/18 BELOW). THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO SPOTS - DRIVERS SIDE NEAR INSTRUMENT PANEL HUMP, AND PASSENGER SIDE NEAR AIRBAG. THE CRACKS ARE CONTINUING TO GET LARGER AND THE DASHBOARD HAS STATED TO VIBRATE AND RATTLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A SAFETY HAZARD IN AN ACCIDENT.

POOR DASH DESIGN THAT CRACKED WHEN THE VEHICLE HIT 45,000 MILES. IT POSES A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS BECAUSE THE CRACK IS IN THE CORNER SURROUNDING THE AIR BAG. NEITHER GM OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY WILL COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. NEITHER SEEMS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY, BUT WHY SHOULD THEY BECAUSE IT'S NOT THEIR FAMILY ASSUMING ANY RISK.

CRACKS STARTED APPEARING ON THE CORNERS OF THE AIRBAG IN THE DASH OR OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND GM DIRECTLY WITH NO LUCK JUST AN ESTIMATE TO FIX. THIS ISSUE IS A DEFECT IN DESIGN AND REMAINS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES. IF I WOULD BE IN AN ACCIDENT, THE BROKEN DASH PIECES COULD IMPACT THE OCCUPANTS AND CAUSE ADDITIONAL INJURYS.
