The dashboard has cracked in 2 separate places due to cheap supplies. One of the cracks is near the airbag so if the airbag were to deploy parts of the broken dashboard would be thrown into the passenger and cause injury.

The dash is cracking around the passenger airbag and the above the drivers side speedometer. This poses a danger to all occupants if a crash were to happen and the passenger airbag were to go off. This would send shards of broken plastic dashboard everywhere. Unsafe to say the least.

Takata recall: the trade in value on my meticulously maintained 2011 chevrolet silverado was drastically reduced. It cost me nearly $5000 in actual value, as a dealer cannot resell a traded in vehicle with an active recall and must send it to be auctioned. So i have suffered both severe emotional distress from constantly being in fear the airbag is going to randomly blow my nuts off, and crippling undue monetary…

Takata inflators: i received a recall notice 2 years ago and gm is still saying they don't have a solution yet. My question is does someone have to be injured or killed before gm will replace the defective inflators. If the air bag inflators installed are known to be defective, the manufacturer should be required to replace them.
