VEHICLE DASH HAS STARTED CRACKING AROUND THE AIR BAG AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS CAN AND WILL AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG AND COULD SEND FLYING DEBRIS INTO THE VEHICLE OR CUT THE AIR BASE UPON DEPLOYMENT. SOME ESTIMATES ARE THAT 80% OF THE 2009 MODEL YEAR HAVE CRACKED. DEALERSHIP STATES THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND HAVE REPAIRED SO MANY THEY HAVE IT DONE TO HALF A DAY. COST TO REPAIR IS 1200 DOLLARS. GM WAS CONTACTED AND STATE THEY CANNOT HELP US DUE TO THE FACT WE ARE SECOND OWNERS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS NOT BE OFF ROAD NOR HAS IT HAD ANY CHEMICALS PLACED ON THE DASH. CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME PLACE AS EVERYONE ELSE'S. SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. IN MY WIFE'S CASE, HER VEHICLE, IN MY OPINION, IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER CALLING GM AND THE DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY, THEY HAVE OFFERED NO HELP EXCEPT TO CHARGE ME FULL PRICE FOR THE REPAIR. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE TO SELL THESE VEHICLES KNOWING THE DASH WON'T LAST AND THEN TAKE NO ACTION TO CORRECT AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO SEE ONE OF THESE CRASH TESTED WITH A BIG PIECE OF BROKEN PLASTIC IN THE FLIGHT PATH OF AN AIRBAG.

AIR BAGS, STEERING
WITHIN LAST 90 DAYS DASH HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, WHICH RUNS ALL THE WAY TO THE BOLT ATTACHMENT POINT. ALSO CRACKED ABOVE DRIVER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL (IN MOTION OR NOT) HAS A SLIGHT RUBBING SOUND, AND I AM TOLD BY REPAIR SHOP THAT IT IS THE WOUND WIRE IGNITION LINE TO THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT BOTH DEFICIENCIES IN DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING, COULD PREVENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, OR CASE THEM TO GO OFF WITHOUT A FRONT END IMPACT TO THE SENSORS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MODEL YEARS, AND GM ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE, UNLIKE FORD & TOYOTA. THIS IS NOT A MILEAGE ISSUE, IT IS A PLASTIC INTERIOR PART, AND UNRELATED TO MILEAGE. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED AND NOT PARKED IN SUN FOR LONG PERIODS.

TAKATA RECALL THIS ENTIRE RECALL REEKS OF A BACK OFFICE DEAL WITH GM AND NHTSA. IN ONE PARA GM STATES THAT " IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES." YET THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE STATES " GM CONSIDERS YOUR VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE". YOU SHOULD PUT PRESSURE ON GM TO FIX THIS AS OPPOSED TO SRRINGING IT OUT FOR EVER. D A LUNDY
