2010 Chevrolet Silverado

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES AROUND THE AIRBAG. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY SENDING PROJECTILE PIECES OF PLASTIC TOWARDS THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD FORMED DUE TO AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE CRACKS JUST NORMAL DRIVING.

MY DASH WAS FINE ON 6-10-15, WHEN GOT IN IT ON THE MORNING OF 6-11-15 THE DASH WAS CRACKED BY THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD BUT ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING WITH CHEVROLET VEHICLES. SEE THE FOLLOWING SITE: HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/?FREF=NF THIS APPEARS TO BE A FLAW IN THE QUALITY OF MATERIALS USED IN THESE VEHICLES. NOT ONLY DOES IT TAKE AWAY FROM THE APPEARANCE AND VALUE OF THE VEHICLE, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN. WILL THE AIRBAG STILL WORK PROPERLY? IF IN AN ACCIDENT WILL THERE BE FLYING PIECES OF PLASTIC BECAUSE OF THE FLAWED CRACKED EQUIPMENT? THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT GM TAKES CARE OF FOR ITS CUSTOMERS 100%.

TOTAL FOG UP OF WINDSHIELD AND ALL WINDOWS. THIS ONLY OCCURS BELOW FREEZING AS NOTED BY THE INFORMATION CENTER WARNING OF THE POSSIBILITY OF FREEZING ROADS. THE YELLOW A/C ON LIGHT IN THE FAN SPEED CONTROL KNOB IS NOT ON, AND WHEN THE A/C BUTTON IS PUSHED THE YELLOW A/C ON LIGHT FLASHES THREE TIMES AND GOES OUT. THERE IS NO CONFIGURATION THAT WILL ACTIVATE THE A/C AND THUS MITIGATE THE FOG! IN SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS AS THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THE A/C ON MANUALY AND THAT BELOW FREEZING THE A/C IS AUTOMATICLY SELECTED OFF BY THE SENSORS! IT TURNS OUT THAT THE A/C BUTTON ONLY SERVES TO SHUT OFF THE A/C IF DESIRED. THE ONLY OPERATIONAL WAY TO WORK AROUND THIS IS TO TURN THE DEFOG FULL HOT OPEN THE WINDOWS AND PULL OVER UNTIL A VIEWING HOLE CAN BE CLEARED. THIS CLEARLY IS A SYSTEMIC SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS!
