2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

A SAFETY RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR. RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED ON 04-12-2021 AT PARKWAY CHEVROLET IN TOMBALL, TX. THE DASH WAS CRACKED AND BROKEN WHEN THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REMOVED THE COVER FOR THE AIRBAG.

Airbags for the steering wheel did not deploy.

DASH CRACKED FOR NO REASON. ALWAYS COVERED AND PROTECTED. AIRBAG RECALL AND THEY ARE GOING TO DESTROY DASH CHANGING THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG

UNKNOWN. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG I'VE NOTICED HAS NOT BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY. IT DOESN'T COME ON WHEN PPL ARE SITTING IN THE SEAT. BUT I DID A RECALL CHECK AND IT'S TELLING ME ALL THIS. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER2049151 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V381

AS THOUSANDS OF OTHER GM CUSTOMERS. CRACKED DASHBOARD WITH THE SPLIT BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. WHEN DEPLOYED DASH COULD POTENTIALLY SHATTER

CRACKED DASHBOARD BY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED WILL IT CAUSE THE DASH TO SHATTER CAUSING MORE INJURY. I HAD THE SAME CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE ON MY 201 3 TAHOE BUT I HAVE TRADED IT IN. IT SEEMS THAT THERE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE CHEVROLET VEHICLES SIMILAR TO MINE.

THE DASHBOARD IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THE CASE HOLDING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY 2009 CHEVY SILVERADO IS CRACKED AND BROKEN IN THREE (3) DIFFERENT PLACES, INCLUDING TWO (2) CORNERS. I WAS ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN GM TRUCKS, AND THAT IT IS A STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT ACCIDENT. I WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE OUR TRUCK IS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL TO HAVE OUR AIRBAGS TURNED OFF, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DASH HOLDING THE AIRBAG IS BROKEN AND DAMAGED. THREE-WAY CHEVROLET IN BAKERSFIELD, CA REFUSES TO TURN THE AIRBAG OFF, EVEN AFTER AGREEING THE CRACKED AND BROKEN DASHBOARD POSES AN INHERENT SAFETY RISK BY COMPROMISING THE ALREADY DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE DASH BOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. . THE DASH IS CRACKING AROUND THE PLASTIC COVER AND I KNOW OF 2 OTHER TRUCKS THAT HAVE DONE THE SAME THING? I HAVE READ DIFFERENT ARTICLES ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND THE DEALER TELLS THEM IT'S TOO BAD AND THEY WILL NOT WARRANT THE REPAIRS. THIS TO ME IS A VERY VERY BAD SAFETY MATTER JUST BECAUSE IF YOU ARE IN A BAD WRECK AND THE AIR BAG DOES DEPLOY THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THE DASH WILL POP THE BAG IF IT DOESN'T BLOW THE DASH BOARD UP AND SEND PLASTIC PROJECTILES FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE POSSIBLY BLINDING OR KILLING YOU FROM THE SCRAPNAL PLASTIC PIECES. HAS ANYONE ELSE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DASH BOARDS BEING DEFECTIVE?

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AND GETTING WORSE AS THE CRACK GROWS. THE CRACK IS BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IN AN UNSAFE MANER AND ALSO CAUSE EXTRA DEBRIE TO FLY AROUND WHEN THE AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY DUE TO THE FAULTY DASH THAT AFFECTS 2007-2013 GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S

WE HAVE A DASH CRACK FROM DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE NOT ALL THE WAY JUST CRACKS IN DIFFERENT AREAS; HOWEVER WHAT WORRIES US THE MOST IS THE 2" CRACK AT THE LEFT HAND CORNER OF WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS. THE SPECIFIC AREA IS TOP LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE AIRBAG SEAM THERE IS A CRACK AND I TRULY WORRY ABOUT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AND SHOOTING PLASTIC PIECES EVERYWHERE FROM THAT CRACK.

I HAVE VARIOUS CRACKS IN MY DASH. THERE IS A LARGE ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. THIS ONE OCCURRED JUST THIS YEAR (2016). BUT THE OTHER IS MORE CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS UP AGAINST THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS ONE HAS EXISTED FOR SEVERAL YEARS (2014 OR EARLIER). I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THIS BEING A PROBLEM UNTIL THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL CAME UP. I AM WORRIED THAT SHOULD I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, THAT THE CRACKED PLASTIC WILL BECOME LOOSE DEBRIS, AND CAUSE ADDITIONAL HARM TO ANY PASSENGERS. AN INTERESTING THING I'VE NOTICED IS A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASH. THIS OCCURS AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON FOR A WHILE. WHEN I PERFORM A GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. IN FACT, THERE IS A FACEBOOK GROUP THAT HAS ABOUT 5000 MEMBERS - HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/ - THIS IS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEBSITE. I AM UPLOADING 2 PICTURES. THE IMAGE ENDING IN 27, IS THE CENTER CRACK. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IT IS SPLIT COMPLETELY FOR THE FULL DEPTH OF THAT PIECE. THE IMAGE ENDING IN 32, IS THE CRACK THAT SITS NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THESE CRACKS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING OR NOT. THEY JUST SEEMED TO APPEAR OVER TIME.

SEVERAL CRACKS IN MY DASH (4-5). ONE IS AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DASH IS SO BRITTLE IT CRACKS FROM JUST CLOSING THE DOOR. I'M AFRAID WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT AND BROKEN DASH PIECES GO FLYING THROUGHOUT THE CAB. THIS IS NO DOUBT A SAFETY CONCERN! NOT TO MENTION AN EYE SORE AND RESALE KILLER. THIS STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE.

2009 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 LT HAS A BIG CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ON TOP OF THE AIRBAG FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.
