I bought my tahoe in july 2016, my dash is cracking on the driver's side and from what i've read, this is very common and gm is ignoring the issue.

    Multiple dash cracks around steering column and more concernedly around passenger air bag. This is separate from the airbag recall that currently exists. The dash being cracked around this particular point would cause vinyl shrapnel to be sent throughout the cabin of the vehicle presenting a serious safety hazard. This is the only place on the vehicle these cracks are happening even though much of the interior is…

    The dash has severely cracked in numerous places including near the passenger air bag which i fear could create shrapnel if involved in a collision and the airbag inflates. This has gradually worsened over time.

    The gm dealership will not replace my airbag (gm recall49151) gm customer service tells me that nhtsa has not determined that there is a safety issue with gm vehicles. My recall letter is date 2016 and nothing has been repaired. Why is the nhtsa taking so long to resolve this issue with gm? My non gm airbags have already been replaced.
