    This is an airbag concern, there is cracking in the dash board near the pasenger airbag. This started two months ago, but the crack keeps devolping. I have also heard other cases of 2007-2013 gm vehicles. I don't know if this affects the airbag. This is a concern because i have heard other complaints. The vehicle was stationary when it started. I think it's because of the weak plastic.

    The dash cracked next to the upper left corner of the front passenger side airbag cover. It did so completely by itself sometime between about may 10 and may 18 . It was fine the last time i dusted the dash off around may 10. I discovered it a couple of days a go. I have found that it seems to be common in 2oo7 to 2o13 gm truck type vehicles. My son in law had same problem with his 2010 silverado he bought new. I…

    The dashboard is crackied, breaking, and deteriorating around the passenger side airbag and in various other areas along the dash. In the event of a front end collision, pieces of the fractured dash could become potential projectiles causing further injuries.

    On thursdsy, april 27, 2017, i parked my 2009 chevy silverado at home in my driveway after work and shut it off for the night. It was stationary at that point. I did not restart it or move it for the remainder of the day/evening. The next morning, the engine would not start. It sounded like it was going to start, but to no avail after several tries. I determined it was not getting fuel. I called a local auto repair…

    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…

    My dash was replaced at 63000 miles because it cracked on the passenger side by the airbag. Now it's cracked again by the airbag in 2 places this time. I took it back to hendrick chevrolet and they said there was nothing they could do because it's out of the 12 months 12000 mile warranty. I would have to call chevrolet. I called chevrolet and talked to a nice lady who transferred me to a senior advisor who l…

    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…

    Walked out to my truck today to find the dash was cracked right by the passenger airbag. While this does not bother me the fact that it could be a safety issue if the airbag deploys does. Shards of sharp plastic could easily fly about the cabin if an accident occurred. Gm needs to fix this and recall for this issue. The plastic is cheap and thin and from what i have researched it would include just about every gm…

    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…
