I am concerned about the safety during a collision or airbag deployment from sharp plastic exposed due to the cracks in the dash cutting the airbag or shards of plastic becoming projectiles potentially causing injury to occupants. The dash in the truck cracked out of no where and is very poorly made. This should be replaced asap by automaker. *tr

I noticed a crack in my dashboard about 5 months ago. This crack is directly beside the passenger side airbag and is about 1-2 inches long. The opposite end of the crack (not connected to the airbag) has splintered off into more than just one crack. My concern is if the air bag is deployed, will this cause shattering and debris to fly into the face of my passengers and myself? *tr

There are dashboard cracks in my 2007 chevy tahoe. One of the cracks is 2? Long, near the passenger side airbag. I have done extensive research on this problem to see if its an anomaly. It isn't. I am a member of a facebook group who currently has 250 members and have the exact same defect. It appears this is a manufacturing defect. The cracks are in the same location among hundreds, if not thousands of consumers. I…

My impeccably maintained suv has multiple cracks in the dash that i believe if the air bags deploy will cash serious bodily harm. I am continually finding pieces on the dash on my floorboard near the gas pedals on the drivers side and far forward on the passenger side. And recently with the cracks getting worse i have noticed the broken pieces are starting to flap around with the forced air coming through the vents.

I noticed a couple of large cracks in the dash after purchase. This vehicle is prone to dash cracks due to faulty plastic (online research). I'm concerned there may be a safety hazard with the crack around the airbag. *tr

I noticed a crack on the dashboard above the instrument cluster and another next to the passenger airbag. My concern regarding the crack near the passenger airbag is whether this will effect the deployment of the airbag in case of an accident. The crack above the instrument cluster keeps spreading, this concerns me as well since a piece may break off and cause internal damage to the components inside the dashboard.…

I was traveling on a state highway to an event. This was the second day of the event, so i had traveled the same road the day prior. I slowed to cross railroad tracks. While crossing the tracks, the front and middle side airbags deployed on both the driver's and passenger's sides. The force of the deployment also cracked areas around the interior walls and blew out the rear overhead light. I am not sure exactly…

My wife was driving down the street at 5:30 am to go to a charity event 5k run. She was going 40mph, on a street that had no traffic on it that early in the morning, when out of the blue, all the side curtain airbags deployed. I contacted gm central office, they did an investigation, then told me that they were not at fault, that the computer on the tahoe said it was about to be in an accident so the airbags…

The dash has cracked behind the passenger side air bag for no apparent reason. I am afraid if the bag deploys it will throw the piece as a projectile and hit the passenger. Many complaints on the internet, gm is selectively assisting in repair. I was informed they would not help me because i have an aftermarket radio and alarm, neither of which is anywhere near the passenger side. *tr

As i researched this issue i have found several owners with the same issue some under warranty and others not. The issue is the dash board is cheaply made and may cause severe damage if in an…

The air bag light came on and we took it to the dealership. The dealers tested it out and replaced the sensor and it still did not fix it. Now they want us to pay a lot of money to run the test and have them figure out what is wrong. I am reading a lot of blogs and complaints about the same thing and i can't figure out why they haven't issued a recall especially since these airbags will not deploy. *tr
