“Takata recall, just like everyone else, GM is not able or willing to replace the takata inflators which brings me to the cracked dashboards. Mine is badly cracked including where the airbag would come out, which really worries me if my grandkids are in the passenger seat and there is a collision. I pray that does not happen.”
NHTSA complaint #11046569, filed 2017-11, 50,000 miles“The dash is cracking in multiple locations which if the airbags were to deploy could send shards of plastic flying through the passenger compartment creating a safety hazard. This has been occurring for some time but is continuing to get worse, and we have recently noticed that it has broken all the way across one of the dash panels. I have looked online and this appears to be a issue with many Chevrolet vehicles.”
NHTSA complaint #11109546, filed 2018-07, 75,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10956210, filed 2017-02, 129,000 miles“Takata recall: airbag warning light remains illuminated. Crack and dash bulge on passenger side front dash. Vehicle was stationary and parked in driveway. The vehicle was bought used in 2013 from cable dahmer buick gmc of independence, mo. Label on driver's side door states it was manufactured in texas, and it was registered in texas by previous owner.”
NHTSA complaint #11152141, filed 2018-11, 176,612 miles“Dash is cracked in 6 different spots; 3 of the cracks being around the passenger air bag. If the airbag were to deploy, the dash would shatter thus causing sharp projectiles to be dispensed in the vehicle cabin potentially causing serious injury to the occupants. The cracks start down where the bolts connect to the body (they extend further down than what can be seen in the photos).”
