The upper dashboard has separated from the car as it is raised from the left corner to the middle of the dashboard, at the front of the dashboard closest to the windshield. in some places it is over 6 inches raised. it continues to worsen, moving over to the right side of the dash closer to the passenger airbag. i am concerned that this might cause the passenger airbag to go off by mistake. it has also reached the height where driver frontal vision is beginning to be slightly impaired because of this defect. i am aware that this is an inherent problem with these dashboards in this model vehicle. i have contacted gm and they have offered no assistance. this vehicle has been garaged and not out in the sun more than usual. *tr

When the car was purchased there were no dashpad flaws. car was and still is garage kept. the dashpad has been lifting across the entire width of the pad from front to rear and exposing the structure underneath. this includes the passenger side airbag area which the dash pad is completly lifted and not sure if airbag is exposed. *tt
