My dash is very cracked. I do keep it covered, but it doesn’t make the issue disappear. Upon research I have seen that this is a very common issue and that legal action was taken in 2018. It causes a safety concern.

MY DASH IS CRACKED AND BROKEN TO THE POINT IT MAY COLLAPSE IN THE MIDDLE. I HAVE CRACKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ANOTHER ONE ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER THAT RUNS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. IT IS CRACKED SO BADLY ACROSS THE LENGTH OF THE DASH THAT IT HANGS LOOSELY AND RATTLES WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE USED A SUNLIGHT VISOR SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS DAMAGE IS NOT MY FAULT. I HAVE LOOKED AT REPLACING THE DASH MYSELF BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO DO SO RIGHT NOW AND I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO COLLAPSE. THIS IS A "MOM" RIDE, I CARRY MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE GOT INTO A WRECK? WOULD PIECES OF THE DASH FLY OFF AND POSSIBLY INJURE ONE OF THEM? PLEASE HELP

I NEED MY CRACKED DASH REPLACED OR FIXED. IT JUST CRACKED ONE DAY. NO ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING IT WAS PARKED AND CRACKED. I BELIEVE IT'S A FAULTY DASH. WE HAVE AN 2004 TAHOE AND DASH HAS NEVER DONE THIS. FROM WHAT I'VE READ GM PURCHASED SOME DASH FROM ANOTHER COMPANY BUT REALIZED THEY WERE PROBLEMS AND WENT BACK TO ORIGINAL COMPANY. SO THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM . . THE CRACK IS ON THR DRIVERS SIDE AND GROWING.
