Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving down the road, my dashboard cracked on the corner of the passenger side air bag. The dashboard was not struck in anyway or the car did not hit a bump. I'm afraid of the crack being there because it is so close to the airbag housing.”
NHTSA complaint #10978716, filed 2017-04, 46,300 miles“My 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe has a 2 inch crack in the dashboard on the passenger side tthat starts at the top left corner of the rectangular cut out to the edge of that piece of the dashboard. I am concerned that the effectiveness of the air bag if the car is impacted and do not trust GM's analysis of this question. From what I am reading on the internet, this problem is happening all too often and needs to be fixed by GM. This problem could absolutely be a serious, life threatening issue in case of an accident.”
