DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AROUND AIR BAGS

THE DASH IS CRACKED

I HEARD A VIBRATION NOISE COMING FROM MY DASHBOARD FOR OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKING FROM THE FORWARD END RUNNING AFT TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL. I RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THIS MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE AIR BAG IS INFLATED. I HEARD THE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I STOPPED I NOTICED THE CRACKING PROBLEM.

DASH IS CRACKING ALL OVER NEAR AIRBAG 3GCPCSE02CG139623

DASH CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHEN I CAME OUT I NOTICED THE CRACK IN THE DASH.

FEW CRACKS ON DASHBOARD WORRIED ABOUT ONE CRACK ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BACK I DID CALL GM NOTHTING HAPPEN.

DASH CRACKED BEHIND INSTRUMENT PANEL AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES. CONCERNED ABOUT SHRAPNEL SHOULD AIR BAGS DEPLOY....THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FROM 2007-2013.

CRACKS ON THE DASH BOARD AROUND AIRBAG AND ALSO IN FRONT OF THE STEER WHEEL ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF DASH.

DASH IS CRACKED AT THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I'M CONCERNED THAT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT MAY BE AFFECTED. ALSO, PIECES OF THE DASH MAY BECOME AIR BORN IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN CERTAIN AREAS, INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND THE MIDDLE SECTION IS FLIMSY AND ABLE TO BE PULLED UP OR PUSHED DOWN.

MY 2012 1500 SILVERADO'S, DASH HAS CRACKED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, PURCHASED LATE 2012 ONLY 40 K MILES, NO ACCIDENTS OR REASONS FOR CRACKS OTHER THAN FAULTY MATERIAL USE FOR DASH.

MY 2012 CHEVROLET SILVADO HAS A CRACK AROUND THE AIRBAG. THERE HAS BEEN NO WRECK JUST HAPPEN. IT ALSO HAS A CRACK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DASH.

DASH CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG AND DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THE DASH HAVE THREE CRACKS IN IT EVEN THOUGH I KEEP IT COVERED. I SEE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION AND YET CHEVROLET AND OR THE DEALERS REFUSE TO REPLACE IT. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $200.00 TO $250.00 TO REPLACE IT. CHEVROLET KNOW OF THIS AND YET DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. EVEN THE DEALER STATED THE THIS IS A DEFECT.

WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK THIS MORNING AND LOW AND BEHOLD, THERE WAS A 4" CRACK IN THE DASH THAT WAS NOT THERE LAST NIGHT. IT STARTS AT THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG AND GOES TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS A SMALL PIECE OF BLACK PLASTIC STICKING OUT OF THE CRACK. NOW I WONDER IF SOMEONE TOUCHES IT, THE AIR BAG WILL INFLATE. IS THIS SAFE OR NOT?

THE DASH IS CRACKING AND CHEVY SHARED THAT IT COST 1500 TO REPLACE SO THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO PAY $600 AND THEY WILL PAY THE REST. THE TRUCK HAS 44600 MILES I HAVE NOT REPLACE THE TIRES OR BRAKES YET IT IS PARKED UNDER A TREE MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS NO REASON THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN.

OUR DASHBOARD CRACKED AT THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN FOR US. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. WE HAVE NEVER USED ARMOR ALL ON THE DASHBOARD.

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS LOCATED. IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE DANGEROUS PLASTIC SHRAPNEL TO INJURE THE PASSENGER AND/OR DRIVER

CRACKED DASH OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. THE FIRST IS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG AND THE SECOND IS JUST TO THE LEFT MIDDLE OF THE DASH TOP. SEE PHOTOS. CONCERNED ABOUT LOOSE PLASTIC BREAKING AND PROPELLING IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IN AN ACCIDENT. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR AND IT WAS FINE. THE CRACKS BEGAN WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. 5/13/2016

I WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK ON 10/15/2016 TO NOTICE A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD BETWEEN THE AIRBAG AND THE VENT. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO STARTING WITH THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY TRUCK FROM. I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON TO ONLY BE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I CAN HOWEVER PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR A NEW DASHBOARD INSTALLED. NOW I FIND THIS AGGRAVATING AS THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I DID NOR WAS THE VEHICLE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS SIMPLY BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY!!! I THEN CALLED A BODY SHOP TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY CAN DO, IT WAS THEN I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR CHEVY AND THAT THIS CRACK WILL CONTINUE TO SPIDER OUT AND EVENTUALLY SPREAD!!!!! THEY CAN FIX IT BUT UNLESS I REPLACE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY IT!!!! BUT AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF MY POCKET. I THEN RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF EXACTLY HOW MANY CASES THERE ARE OUT THERE INVOLVING DASHBOARD CRACKS, COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVY FOR THIS EXACT REASON. IF CHEVY HAS THIS MANY COMPLAINTS AND IS AWARE OF THE DASHBOARD CRACKING WHY AREN'T THEY TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND OFFER A RESOLUTION! THIS CONCERNS ME AS THIS IS NEAR THE AIRBAG, COULD THIS CAUSE HARM TO THE DRIVER OR THE PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY???????????

WOKE UP THIS MORNING, GOT IN MY 2012 SILVERADO, AND NOTICED A VERY LARGE CRACK IN THE DASH OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH, I CAN SEE THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM.

DASH IS CRACKED AT THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I'M CONCERNED THAT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT MAY BE AFFECTED. ALSO, PIECES OF THE DASH MAY BECOME AIR BORN IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.
