The one piece dashboard has been cracking in multiple places for approximately 5 years. I see that there are multiple, multiple, multiple complaints regarding this issue across various models all of which occurred after the one piece dashboard was implemented. I also saw that a class action suit was filed and dismissed because this is not a -€œsafety issue-€. In my opinion, this is a safety in the event of an air bag deployment especially with the multiple cracks (which have occurred over the years). We take immaculate care of our vehicles and rarely trade them in under 10 years. We are also retired and don-€™t have the luxury of dropping 2k on a dashboard replacement. We respectfully request the replacement of the dashboard under manufacturer defect. Please advise if this is possible.

I got into my 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche and found that the dash board had cracked. The crack is approx. 6"s long and runs from the windshield to the top of the rise above speedometer. It just happened and I don't know what to do about it. Can you help?

Instrument panel (dashboard) cracked in two places. One by the passenger side airbag and the other right above the steering wheel. From what I investigated, this seems to be a rather common issue.

Door handles. Driver door, failed 2 times, front passenger side failed 1 time, rear passenger side failed 1 time. Could not enter or exit the vehicle via door with failed hardware. Occupants had to exit vehicle via an alternative door. The fix was to replace the door handle each time. I've been told by the dealership as well as an autobody shop that this is a common issue with the chrome handles. Cost to date spent repairing this issue is in excess of $800
