    Dashboard has cracked in several places. This started when the truck had 40,000 miles on it, it now has 60.000. If i would have an accident would the dash fly to pieces and injury occupants?

    Cracked chevrolet dash flaps when windows rolled down creating visible distraction very similar to attached picture chevrolet knows this is an ongoing issue for their 2007-2014 models and apparently won't do anything unless compelled to by a regulatory body. If i get into an accident i will make sure to advise of what caused the distraction. This is not only an eyesore but it is also incredibly dangerous. Who makes…

    My dash starting cracking at 30k miles. I assume it was just my luck. I looked up replacement parts to fix my dash, and i stumbled upon thousands of gm vehicles with the same issue... Gm charged us good money for our vehicles. I bought for being a safe vehicle. I'm not sure if my airbag will deploy for my passenger and where will all the shredded dash plastic will have to be picked out of me and my passengers…

    The dash on my 2008 chevrolet silverado has cracked near the passenger side airbag across to the driver's side. One crack actually met another larger crack and a piece of the dash has fallen off leaving a hole.

    Passenger side door lock actuator failed. The passenger door does not have a outside key lock to unlock the door. Shortly there after the driver's side actuator failed. They both failed prematurely. I have read there are a great number of failures but gm has nothing in place to replace them under a recall.

    Severe dash cracking, has about 5-6 major cracks, including around the airbag area. Concern for how the airbag might cause piecers of plastic to injure occupants of the vehicle if the airbag was to deploy. Very concerned when i have three kids driving in the truck. Not to mention there still hasnt been a recall on the airbag situation. This is not good!

    I purchased this truck brand new in august 2008. I noticed the first dashboard crack, on the left side of the passenger air bag, about two years later. I took my truck to the dealership i bought it from, over concerns about possible splintering of the dashboard in the event an airbag deployment. The dealer only offered to replace the defective component. The quote was just over $1200. He also assured me that my…

    I have a 2008 chevrolet silverado 1500 and the dashboard is cracked in two different places. One crack is on the passenger side, directly over the air bag. The other crack is above the left side of the instrument cluster. Every 2008-2013 chevrolet pickup or suv that i have seen has one, if not both, of these cracks. I feel that it is very unsafe to have any damage in or around the airbag system, and i do not…
