Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Have had 2 cracks in my dashboard, passenger side from rear/left side toward windshield from airbag and another over instrument panel. They have been there for over a year, I didn't realize how common this problem was or I would have reported sooner. Concern relates to dashboard pieces causing injury if airbag deployed. Vehicle is parked inside day and night”
NHTSA complaint #11182700, filed 2019-02, 38,000 miles“The dashboard around the passenger side airbag is cracked and the piece of the dashboard is falling down away from the airbag. I feel that the airbag has been compromised because of this and worry about pieces of the broken dashboard flying into mine or my children's faces if the airbag ever has to inflate.”
NHTSA complaint #10995355, filed 2017-06, 53,000 miles“A little of a month ago we noticed there was a crack from the corner of the air bag down the dash. The car was stationary and has never been in any accidents. I called the dealership to find out if my service contract was going to cover this since I have only owned this vehicle a little over a year. The informed me it would not be covered. This is a huge safety concern for me and my husband as we have two small kids and always have kids in the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11173546, filed 2019-02, 67,000 miles“Our 2013 denali which we purchased new in 2014 has had a cracked dashboard above the passenger side airbag for more than a year (~2 years old). The integrity of the dash and airbag are problematic. There is no tangible support under the dash -- dealership says it's plastic!!! The vehicle was not in motion, just happened one day when it was parked in the driveway. Yesterday the outside passenger door handle broke off --- again, plastic parts instead of metal. …”
NHTSA complaint #11003683, filed 2017-07, 39,000 miles“Dash issues have plagued the 2007-2014 Gmc trucks. Mine is included in this. There is cracking all around the area where the passenger airbag is. I'm worried that in a deployment, pieces of dash would be projected at passengers. The dash material is clearly very brittle and flimsy.”
