“This 2014 Chevrolet Suburban was purchased by my husband in 2017. Cracks have started at both top corners of the airbag compartment. According to information found on the internet, this is a common occurrence, GM is aware of it but chooses to ignore it. It seems to me, this type of cracking could effect the performance of the airbag or create a more dangerous situation in case of a wreck.”
