I have 2 large cracks on my dash panel. One is near the dash mounted air bag, and the second is running above my instrument panel. These cracks developed over time. I have found out that this is a common issue with my vehicle. Chevrolet refused to cover the issue under warranty, even after I showed them how wide spread this issue is among Chevrolet vehicles.

  • 60,000 miles
I have a cracks in my dashboard. One of which is by the passenger side airbag, which if was inflated would send plastic dashboard pieces into the passenger face, due to the brittleness of the plastic that cracks when touched. There is another crack on the driver side of the dash, which is brittle to the touch. GM refuses to fix for free, even knowing there are thousands of vehicles with the same problem. The faulty plastic dashboard continues to get worse, as GM has installed these defective dashboards in thousands of vehicles.

The dashboard has a crack on the passenger side where the airbag cutout is. I believe this is a major safety issue. Especially if you're in an accident and the airbag deployed there will be pictures of dash board shards fiying through the air and possibly into the occupants with force from the airbag.
