Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The dashboard has cracked running from the corner of the passenger side airbag towards the windshield. This happened when the vehicle was parked and not in use. I am very concerned that a vehicle of this age has a defect such as this in the location that it does. I fear that in the event of an accident and deployment of the airbag, the already cracked plastic of the dashboard could become a dangerous projectile.”
NHTSA complaint #10480969, filed 2012-10, 125,000 miles“My dashboard is cracking around airbag, a well known issue with GM vehicles. I waiting for the day when my airbag deploys and I get impaled with a piece of plastic. Please help with this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11022211, filed 2017-09, 71,000 miles“Have 3 cracks in dashboard. 2 above driver side instrument cluster, and 1 on passenger side next to passenger airbag. Had piece of dash break off and fall inside dashboard assembly. Gm only wants to compensate up to 20% to have this replaced. I believe that GM should be replacing these at their cost due to the number of complaints of this happening. Feel that this could be a safety issue if I were to get into a wreck, and pieces of the dashboard break off.”
NHTSA complaint #10669150, filed 2014-12, 65,273 miles“The dash on my 2007 chevy silverado has cracked at the corner of passenger airbag and above instrument cluster. I'm concerned that these pieces of plastic will become projectiles if the airbag deploys.”
NHTSA complaint #10838479, filed 2016-02, 60,000 miles“Frame beaming on the 2007 x tra cab classic truck. General motors campaign #pit3009j. The problem is so bad that it shakes the seat so violently that it is a health hazard to drive around. I have been driving my truck for two years now as my daily driver. The frame shakes so bad on the freeway that it has caused me back strains and neck pain when driving for over an hour. I have been to americas tire many times thinking it was a tire problem they have rebalanced the tires and even replaced the whole set with another brand with no improvement. …”
