This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the service air bag warning indicator illuminated, which was a safety concern. The contact stated that the air bag warning sensor was replaced, but failed to remedy the vehicle. The contact was able to perform a diagnostic test and located dtc code: Was-B0085-00. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 75,979.
My dash cracked straight line above and attached to airbag, wasn't there, next day it was, Nov 2016 38,000 mi. Called dealership(s) and I called GM/chev support and they said since it was no longer under warranty and there was no recall I would have to pay for it...I expressed my concerns as a huge safety issue and obvious defect.
"takata recall" the dash is cracked on the windshield side around the air bag and may cause the air bag to deploy. Also has two cracks on both side of the instrument panel on the drivers side wiitch leaving it more reason to deploy.
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked above the passenger side air bag. The contact stated that the air bag and wires were not exposed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 50,000.
Got in my truck one morning and noticed two large cracks in my dashboard. Vehicle had been stationary and in the garage the night prior. One right above the instrument cluster on the driver side, running all the way to the windshield. The other is adjacent to the passenger airbag. I'm afraid that if the airbag deploys it could send plastic shards flying, which could potentially cause serious injury.
Upon wiping my dashboard with a dry cloth(never used any products to clean, or treat the dashboard area) and I do not park vechile in direct sunlight.... I noticed 4 to 5 cracks in the dashboard area of both drivers side and passengers side...most concerning... that 2 of the cracks are around the passanger air bag located on the passenger side dashboard...this is unacceptable as a consumer of GM and a Chevy Silverado who purchased a vechile thats priced above $45,000. I believe this should be taken very seriously considering the location of these cracks and should be a recall by GM considering the fact that many people are experiencing the same issues.....
While vehicle was in motion we heard a popping noise from front of cabin. Then saw two cracks in the dash. One at the passenger air bag and the other on driver side at the instrument cluster.
Dashboard is cracking all arround airbag, if airbag were to deploy it would spray plastic parts all over vehicle, it is a part defect and Chevrolet knows this, they will do nothing to address this, there are many people on facebook showing 1000S of pictures, please help, this vehicle is not that old and the cracks started to appear at just 37,000 miles, also if you decide to fix the problem and pay for it yourself, they will not guarantee the new factory dash will not do it again, this just proves that they know it is made defective, hopefully something will be done about this before someone gets sprayed with flying defective parts arround the airbag
I was driving & heard a very loud noise but didn't know what it was till I was cleaning/vacuuming my vehicle the next day. I was cleaning the vehicle & the dashboard was very dirty so I was lightly cleaning it with a rag & the rag got stuck so when I checked what it was I noticed a very big crack. It also cracked by the airbag & I honestly feel like that is a hazard. It bothers me to think I'm paying over $40K for a vehicle that I chose to defend my family & might malfunction if I'm ever in an accident.
Huge crack on the dash possibly affecting the deployment of the air bag in the event of a crash. Crack was there when I got in the truck in the morning.
