The entire front dash is beginning to separate. there is a crack in the dash where the airbag is located. it appears to be caused from the airbag.
Two weeks ago, a crack in the dashboard near the passenger air bag suddenly appeared. in doing some research, i have found that many other people have had a similar experience. this problem seems to have affected the following models: gmc yukon, cadillac escalade, gmc sierra, chevrolet silverado, chevrolet tahoe, chevrolet suburban, and chevrolet avalanche. my concern is with the fact that this crack is very close to the passenger airbag and is a safety concern. i am also concerned that the airbags may not work properly when needed because of this defect. *js
The dashboard is cracked on driver side with plastic pieces falling down into dash, dashboard is also cracked on passenger side on the corner of the airbag. this is a known issue and i want it fixed. i feel that the airbags ability to deploy on passenger side is compromised if an accident occurs. i bought this vehicle with thoughts of being safe for me, my wife and two small children. gm has said they are not going to fix it, this is my last plea for help. replacing is expensive but feel like it's defect in vehicle design(evident by how many complaints i found). if there is a accident in this vehicle and airbag fails i will hold gm accountable for any harm caused to my family.
The dashboard is cracked around the passenger airbag and i think this is a safety hazard.
There are two cracks on dash located on both sides just above passenger airbag . i am worried about plastic projectiles if involved in an accident. i am aware of several thousand other complaints of the exact same nature. i had spoke to faulkner gmc trevose about this issue.they did inform me they were aware of the problem and that they had several other complaints but refused to help due to the expiration of my bumper to bumper warranty. there was no trauma to vehicle. dashboard is just cracking. the vehicle is exceptionally taken care of and garage kept.
Cracked dashboard.
Dashboard cracked spontaneously from top edge to window edge over odometer and a small crack at passenger airbag.
Takata recall -i found no record of recall but passenger airbag warning light is on as well as cracks on the dashboard around where the airbags would deploy. heated seats malfunction and turn on and are unable to be turned off. fuel tank mileage to empty unreliable. gauge can be at quarter tank and say 50 miles to empty and stall due to being out of gas. gas gauge issue changes while driving...on road trips the gas gauge will suddenly change and say there is more gas in it than there actually is. *tr
Noticed a crack on dash by airbag system shortly after purchase . was told by dealership that i would have to pay almost $1,000 to repair even though vehicle was purchased as gm certified. as of yesterday, the crack is much larger and appears to be separating at corner of airbag assembly area on passenger side of dash. this has to be considered a safety concern. please advise. *tr
Large crack in dash at corner of passenger air bag cover appeared in sept 2013. another large crack appeared over steering wheel column in august 2014. i have researched and found that this is an inherent defect in several gm models since at least 2007 and that gm may offer to pay half of the replacement fee. i am concerned that, if the passenger air bag were to deploy, the plastic would shatter at the cracked area and act as shrapnel. *tr
