About two years into owning this truck, (purchased brand new from dealer), the dashboard cracked at the corner of the passenger side airbag. There was no incident which caused the dashboard to crack. Nothing hit it, no accident, etc. This is a potential hazard and it seems to be a recurring problem for many chevrolet owners. I took it in to the dealer and they said it wasn't covered by any warranty. How is it okay…

The dashboard around the instrument cluster as well as the passenger side airbag has developed large cracks due to poor made products or poor manufacturing processes. Due to the explosive nature of the airbags as well as the location of the cracks on the dashboard, i fear the airbag will go off in a front end collision causing sharp plastic pieces from the dashboard to unnecessarily injure me and/ or my passengers.

Shortly after purchasing my 2010 silverado a small crack appeared on the dash by the corner of the passenger air bag. A month or so later another crack developed above the instrument cluster that is now (years later) a foot in length. There is a 3rd crack developing. I have 3 friends with similar trucks and these cracks occurred in the identical spot on their dashs. It has to be a risk to the airbag, or in any front…

Takata recall no parts available at dealers so we are sitting out here with time bombs. If chevy in this case can't get parts, they need to make their own. This isn't rocket science, it's about $ vs lives. Force the mfgs to fix this problem and be liable for any injuries.
