When we purchased the vehicle approx. 3.5 years ago, it had a small crack in the dashboard. Last December, it was noticed that the crack had gotten much bigger, and now a second crack has been noted. This is becoming a major safety concern, as the dash May shatter in a front-end collision with airbag deployment. Upon doing research on;ine, I found that I am not alone. There are thousands of reports of similar issues among similar years and models. Please help me keep my family safe by requiring GM to provide a fix or replacement. Thank you!
Dashboard structural failure: vehicle dashboard is suffering from excessive structural failure leading to large lose pieces of plastic than can 1) interfere with airbag deployment, 2) fall off and interfere with brakes and accelerator pedals, 3) cause death and dismemberment in an accident due to excessive cracking and breakage under normal use conditions. This effects all 2007-2014 Chevrolet and GMC light-duty trucks. So literally tens of millions of vehicles. GM has not issued a recall for this structural defect.
