Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“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

“I have multiple cracks formed on my dash panel over the instrument cluster one is very large I know this is a major issue on this vehicle and could cause injury if in a accident. The vehicle was sitting in my driveway when this happened.this is a widespread problem that GM has refused to acknowledge. There are thousands of people affected by this. This dashboard should be recalled. It seriously impacts our resale value.”

NHTSA complaint #11003968, filed 2017-07, 40,000 miles

“Like many other chevy/gmc light truck and truck owners, my dash has cracked. I worry that the cracked sharp dash could interfere with the airbags ability to deploy safely.”

NHTSA complaint #10846008, filed 2016-03, 10,000 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

“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).”
