I have had several electrical issues as wiring harness rub through behind the left cylinder head, right side of dashboard cracking above passenger side airbag which was reported and nothing done as replies, I see this as a danger to me and passengers as it may blow up and hurt or kill occupants and electrical issues are a fire hazard as personal safety.

Dash is cracking around airbag. Mine cracked just sitting. This seams to be an ongoing issue within the GM community. These dashes are cracking and could cause someone to be injured should the vehicle get into an impact and not only the airbag deploy but plastic shards project ahead of the airbag.

My 2009 Silverado 2500hd service air bag light comes on intermittently, hit a bump and it goes out, comes on again many times during driving. I can move the wiring harness under the dash and duplicate this issue. The Chevrolet dealer says that I must leave the truck there because it will be lengthy in troubleshooting which will be costly according to them.

Not the actual air bag, but the plastic dash around it. Known cracking in the dash will cause it to shatter during air bag deployment causing possible injuries due to pieces becoming projectiles. GM is well aware of this defect in the manufacture of the dash.

"takata recall" received a safety recall notice by mail dated July 2016 regarding the front passenger air bag inflators can malfunction. Over the last year and a half I have contacted several dealerships in my area for a replacement. I was told that there was an ongoing court battle where takata claims that their is nothing wrong with the original installed inflator. The dealerships told me that they do not have replacement parts and would not install a replacement part until the court case was settled. No injuries have happened yet because the vehicle has not been in an accident. However I fear that someone may be injured or killed if an accident in this vehicle occurs.
