IllustrationI AM CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY PASSENGERS. OVER 1 YEAR AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. I KEEP ON BEING TOLD CALL BACK AND CALL BACK. WHY SO LONG TO REPLACE? THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN DUE TO POOR QUALITY AND MANY OWNERS HAVE DASHBOARD ISSUES.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I' AM SUBMITTING THIS CORRESPONDENCE IN REFERENCE TO NUMEROUS CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD ON THE DESCRIBED VEHICLE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE CRACKS ARE GETTING WORSE ESPECIALLY AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, WHICH IS NOW CAUSING THE AIR BAG COVER TO BULGE, CAUSING CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU
AFTER A RECENT TRIP TO ATLANTA, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS CRACK IS WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. NOW I HAVE NOTICED THE CENTER OF THE DASH IS COLLAPSING IN ESPECIALLY ON WARM DAYS. NOTHING HAS BEEN ON THE DASHBOARD THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED THIS CRACK. I FEAR THAT THE DASH MAY COLLAPSE ALL THE WA…

AFTER A RECENT TRIP TO ATLANTA, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS CRACK IS WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. NOW I HAVE NOTICED THE CENTER OF THE DASH IS COLLAPSING IN ESPECIALLY ON WARM DAYS. NOTHING HAS BEEN ON THE DASHBOARD THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED THIS CRACK. I FEAR THAT THE DASH MAY COLLAPSE ALL THE WAY IN OR BECAME A PROJECTILE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, ESPECIALLY IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED.
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE I HEARD A CRACK AND DISCOVERED A SIGNIFICANT CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE WAS ALSO A CRACK IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
DASH CRACKED FROM DRIVER SIDE ALL THE WAY OVER TO AIRBAGS ON PASSENGER SIDE. DASH SHARDS COULD SPRAY THE INSIDE OF VEHICLE SHOULD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY
UPPER DASH BOARD CRACKING SEVERELY ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL AS THE PLASTIC "CLIPS" THAT HOLD THE DASH BOARD IN PLACE BROKEN LOOSE.

UPPER DASH BOARD CRACKING SEVERELY ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL AS THE PLASTIC "CLIPS" THAT HOLD THE DASH BOARD IN PLACE BROKEN LOOSE. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD (1ST TIME UNDER WARRANTY - BROKEN PLASTIC CLIPS). THE CRACK JUST SUDDENLY APPEARED AFTER I HEARD SOME RATTLING IN AND AROUND THE CENTER OF THE DASH BOARD. DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL THERE WAS A 6" CRACK. COULD POSSIBLY HINDER STEERING COLUMN IF PLASTIC PIECES FROM THE CRACK FALL INTO THE AREA. PLASTIC SHARDS COULD POSE DANGEROUS IF ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. OTHERS REPORT CRACKS BY PASSENGER AIRBAG.
MY DASH CRACKED IN SEVERAL AREAS, IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL AND PASSENGER SIDE. LONG GROWING CRACKS THAT ARE PROBABLY AFFECTING AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN THE GARAGE!! NO REASON FOR IT TO CRACK AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS.
CRACKS IN DASHBOARD - THIS IS MY 2ND DASHBOARD WITH CRACKS AGAIN. DEFINITE FLAW WITH DESIGN/MATERIALS.
MY DASH IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. IT IS CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG. THE OTHER ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE ARIBAG. THE WHOLE DASH RATTLES NOW WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMIL…

MY DASH IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. IT IS CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG. THE OTHER ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE ARIBAG. THE WHOLE DASH RATTLES NOW WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY SINCE THEY ARE RIGHT ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND OVER THE STEERING COLUMN.
DASH STARTED CRACKING ON DRIVERS SIDE. I AM WORRIED WHEN THE AIRBAG IS RELEASED FRAGMENTS MIGHT FLY INTO MY EYES AND FACE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS BUT DO NO SEE A RECALL. I AM HOPING GMC CAN COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THESE.
