THE DASH IS CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS SEEMS TO BE A REPEATED ISSUE WITH GM AND IS CLEARLY A DEFECT WHEN SO MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES HAVE BEEN EFFECTED IN THE SAME PLACE! THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT GM ISN'T WANTING TO FIX AND NOW MY DASH IS CRACKED COMPLETELY APART BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. HOW SAFE IS THIS, WHERE IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY?

DASH IS CRACKED BY PASSENGER AIRBAG AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE COVER TO ATTACH PROPERLY. SHARP PLASTIC EDGE MAY CUT AIRBAG WHEN DEPLOYED MAKING IT USELESS. ALSO, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND GM IS STATING THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THEY WON'T BE FOR A WHILE.

DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN TO CRACK IN NUMEROUS AREAS, 1 AREA THAT IS VERY CONCERNING IS RIGHT BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH I FEEL CONCERNED THAT IF IT WERE TO INFLATE THE DASHBOARD WOULD WOULD SEND PROJECTILES FLYING. THE DASH IS ALSO CRACKING SEVERELY ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. UPON RESEARCH THIS IS A ISSUE THAT THE INTERNET IS FLOODED WITH AND GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED GM IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY ALTHOUGH AT A DEALETHIS SHIP WHEN I WENT LOOKING AROUND 4 OUT OF THE 5 VEHICLES FOR SALE ON THE LOT HAD THE SAME CRACKS IN THE SAME PLACES. I NEED HELP FROM NHTSA TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE MY FAMILY IS PUT IN DANGER IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. THIS CRACK SEEMED TO OCCUR WHEN THE WEATHER GOT COLD, I TURNED ON MY HEAT AND THE DESK IMMEDIATELY CRACKED. THIS IS FLAWED EQUIPMENT AND WE AS CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN TO CRACK AND IS IN THE AREA OF THE AIR BAGS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS COMPROMISED MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY PASSENGER IF THERE WERE BE A NECESSITY FOR THE AIRBAGS TO BE DEPLOYED. SHARDS OF THE BRITTLE PLASTIC COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAGS OR BE PROJECTED THROUGH THE CABIN INJURING PASSENGERS. THIS IS MY SECOND SUBURBAN PURCHASED NEW AND WITH AS MUCH AS I HAVE SPENT, I WOULD EXPECT IT NOT TO CRUMBLE APART IN FIVE YEARS OR THAT THE COMPANY WOULD BE APOLOGETIC AND EAGER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED AND UNWILLING TO SPEND $800 QUOTED BE DEALER TO REPLACE POOR QUALITY DASH WITH THE SAME PART THAT WILL CRUMBLE LIKE THE FIRST IN FOUR OR FIVE YEARS. THIS WILL BE MY LAST CHEVY PURCHASE.
