The frame on my truck has rusted to the point that my mechanic cannot put it on the lift to inspect the vehicle. Wherever he tries to put the jack points the frame crumbles. He has declared that it is unsafe to operate, and cannot be inspected. The truck would most likely break into pieces in any type of collision. There is also a risk of the frame collapsing during normal operation, and possibly causing an accident, or injury or death due to collapse of the vehicle frame during highway operation. The truck is only 14 years old and rusted more than most 50 year old vehicles.

While being repaired, noted severe corrosion on frame and cross members to include upper shock mounts and spare tire mount. Holes in frame were noted.
Dashboard presents multiple cracks by airbag in passenger side and by the idle area. Lines are similar to many reported in 2018 lawsuit. Concern about safety in case airbag breaks fragile dashboard and this injures my family.
The dashboard in my Silverado has mysteriously developed cracks around the steering wheel area and the airbag. I am afraid that if something were to happen that it could project plastic pieces causing bodily harm if the airbag were deployed.

My dashboard has multiple cracks in the dashboard, and my vehicle stays in a garage with the windows cracked to prevent overheating. I have had these cracks since my vehicle was under warranty and GM will not replace it. If I want it fixed I have to pay out of pocket. I have major concerns with the dash turning to shrapnel if the airbag deploys. My vehicle is under the takata recall, as well. The dealership has no concerns with this issue. They have no idea when they can fix my airbag.
