MY DASH STARTED TO CRACK ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG; BUT HAS NOW HAS EXPANDED CAUSING THE AIRBAG COVER TO LIFT. THE DASH IS NOW CRACKED ON BOTH DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER SIDE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 3 YEARS AGO AND HAVE SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IN REGARDS TO FIXING THE PROBLEM AS IT SEEMS TO BE PROGRESSING OVER THE YEARS; BUT EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS ONLY WILLING TO COVER A PERCENTAGE.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON THE UPPER LEFT CORNER HAS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD COMPARTMENT. I NOTICED IT THIS PAST WEEKEND & IT CONCERNS ME SINCE IT IS WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. I RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND MANY OTHER TRUCKS BY GM HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM... GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WHERE THE AIRBAG MAY BE AFFECTED.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE REAR BRAKE LINE FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME AND CAUSED ME TO HAVE ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE FRONT BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME 2009 THE DEALER CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND OTHER BRAKE COMPONENTS STATING THAT IS WHY THE FRONT BRAKES DIDN'T WORK HOWEVER THIS FAILURE WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST INCIDENT ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES.

DASHBOARD ON MY SUBURBAN BEGAN CRACKING AT 40K MILES. NOW HAS 3 CRACKS, ONE AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, ONE IN THE MIDDLE, AND ONE NEAR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RISE. I'M AFRAID THAT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED DURING AN ACCIDENT, IT WILL SEND BROKEN PIECES OF SHARP PLASTIC AS A PROJECTILE THROUGHOUT THE CAR. I HAVE 5 KIDS RANGING FROM TWIN 1 YEAR OLD BABIES TO A 21 YEAR OLD. AS A PARAMEDIC FIREFIGHTER, I COMMONLY SEE HOW PROJECTILES IN THE CAR CAN BECOME DEADLY. THIS IS A BIG ISSUE.

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND HAS SHARP EDGES ALONG THE CRACKS. I'M AFRAID IN AN IMPACT THOSE SHARP PIECES WILL BE FLYING AT ME AND MY PASSENGERS OR COMPLETELY IMPEDE THE AIRBAGS FROM INFLATING AS THEY SHOULD. IT STARTED WITH ONE CRACK, NOW CRACKED ON SEVERAL PLACES, IT SEEMS THE MORE I DRIVE IT ON CITY ROADS THE WORSE IT GETS. THE DASH MIGHT JUST FALL ONTO MY LAP ONE DAY.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2013 SUBURBAN, JUST OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY WITH 40K MILES, SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THIS CRACK COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT THE FUNCTION AND/OR SAFETY OF THE AIRBAG IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR DEPLOYMENT. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY CLAIM TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND DENY THERE IS A PRODUCT DEFECT. I HAVE SINCE FOUND MANY OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME OF WHOM HAVE FILED LEGAL ACTION AGAINST GM FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS ALSO A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH OVER 3200 MEMBERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND LACK OF RESPONSE FROM GM IN TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PRODUCT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN TO CRACK AND IS IN THE AREA OF THE AIR BAGS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS COMPROMISED MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY PASSENGER IF THERE WERE BE A NECESSITY FOR THE AIRBAGS TO BE DEPLOYED. SHARDS OF THE BRITTLE PLASTIC COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAGS OR BE PROJECTED THROUGH THE CABIN INJURING PASSENGERS. THIS IS MY SECOND SUBURBAN PURCHASED NEW AND WITH AS MUCH AS I HAVE SPENT, I WOULD EXPECT IT NOT TO CRUMBLE APART IN FIVE YEARS OR THAT THE COMPANY WOULD BE APOLOGETIC AND EAGER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED AND UNWILLING TO SPEND $800 QUOTED BE DEALER TO REPLACE POOR QUALITY DASH WITH THE SAME PART THAT WILL CRUMBLE LIKE THE FIRST IN FOUR OR FIVE YEARS. THIS WILL BE MY LAST CHEVY PURCHASE.

THE DARK IN CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES INCLUDING AROUND THE AIR BAG. THE DANGER IS THE DASH ITSELF COULD BECOME PIECES OF SHRAPNEL IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY. THE CRACKS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS DUE TO THE TIGHT FIT OF THE DASH IN THE SPACE ALLOWED. THIS IS OUR SECOND DASH AS THE FIRST CRACKED DASH WAS ALREADY REPLACED.
