Cracks in dashboard drivers side & on passenger side as well-dealership replaced ($100) -told me to stop using armor all and the like- now 2nd dash has done the exact same thing--next problem lifter started tapping (70,000) afm 5.3L engine--anyone else experiencing the same
Dash is cracked above instrument panel and is spreading with sharp edges that can shatter and cause harm during a crash. Dash cracked randomly when parked.
The dashboard has begun to crack and is in the area of the air bags. I am concerned that this has compromised my safety and that of my passenger if there were be a necessity for the airbags to be deployed. Shards of the brittle plastic could puncture the airbags or be projected through the cabin injuring passengers. This is my second Suburban purchased new and with as much as I have spent, I would expect it not to crumble apart in five years or that the company would be apologetic and eager to address the issue. Extremely dissatisfied and unwilling to spend $800 quoted be dealer to replace poor quality dash with the same part that will crumble like the first in four or five years. This will be my last Chevy purchase.

Upon exiting the vehicle I was sliced by the chrome coating peeling away from inner door handle. Finger was sliced about 3/4" long and bad enough to bleed. I then took notice of other inner door handles and found passenger side front inner door handle also having the chrome coating peeling from handle. Further research found this problem on earlier GM models.
