Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Cracked dashboard by passenger side air bag. My concern is if the air bag is deployed will it cause the dash to shatter causing more injury. I had the same crack in the same place on my 201 3 tahoe but I have traded it in. It seems that there a major issue with multiple Chevrolet vehicles similar to mine.”
NHTSA complaint #11098269, filed 2018-05, 79,000 miles“We have a dash crack from driver side to passenger side not all the way just cracks in different areas; however what worries us the most is the 2 crack at the left hand corner of where the passenger airbag is. The specific area is top left hand corner of the airbag seam there is a crack and I truly worry about the airbag deploying and shooting plastic pieces everywhere from that crack.”
NHTSA complaint #10891817, filed 2016-07, 40,000 miles“Takata recall my dashboard is cracked in 3 places near the airbag. I took it to the dealership and they told me that because my warranty was up they couldn't do anything. I expressed my concern with the cracks breing so close to where the airbag is located, but they did nothing about it.”
NHTSA complaint #10905915, filed 2016-09, 100,000 miles“Walked out to my truck today to find the dash was cracked right by the passenger airbag. While this does not bother me the fact that it could be a safety issue if the airbag deploys does. Shards of sharp plastic could easily fly about the cabin if an accident occurred. Gm needs to fix this and recall for this issue. The plastic is cheap and thin and from what I have researched it would include just about every GM truck made since 2007.”
NHTSA complaint #10690880, filed 2015-02, 139,000 miles“A few days ago while detailing the interior of my truck, l noticed several cracks in the dash where the takata airbags deploy. I only have 69,000 miles on this vehicle. It has been garage kept. I took it to our local delership & the advised it was out of warranty & nothing could be done. I would like to add, l just received my recall notice of the deteriorating airbag recall for this vehicle. I'm fearful to drive this truck for fear of dash pieces & early airbag deployment. …”
