Dash Board of my vehicle has cracked around the area of my air bag. Worried that my air bag will not work properly if ever in an accident. No dash board should crack! Either the material's used when made were not as durable as they should be. Truck has been maintained in excellent condition since it was bought from dealership. No inspection, no safety lights on, no warning lights on. As being the original owner and seeing this worries me and my safety. NO DASHBOARD SHOULD NEVER CRACK/SPLIT.
Cracks in dash around passenger side airbag. Concern is that if airbag deploys that the dash components around the airbag will become dangerous projectiles.
The dashboard on my 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 is cracked in two places. The crack next to the passenger side airbag has been there since I bought the vehicle but the crack in the middle of the dashboard just appeared from normal city street and highway driving. I am concerned it could be a problem if I am involved in an accident.
Dash board cracks have occurred at approximately 75K miles at the corner of passenger airbag and over instrument cluster. These are fairly common for a multi-year group of GM vehicles and was involved in a now dismissed class action suit. It may/may not eventually affect the instrument cluster, and may/may not affect passenger airbag deployment. It may/may not result in further injury if dash comes apart in accident. Cost to replace at local dealer is approximately $800 for parts and labor. Not covered by original manufacturer warranty due to mileage or comprehensive extended warranty currently in force. Planning to replace but not happy about it. GM should have recalled or offer to at least split costs.

4.3L V6 wt 2012 Chevy 1500 4WD vehicle drives fine, good temperatures and then without warning the vehicle shows a warning message that the engine is too hot and that the A/C was forced off by the trucks computer system and sends the temp gauge to 160 and will not move. Problem appears to be a manufacturer installed thermostat that if not dealt with immediately send the cooling fans and radiator fan(s)(as mine has a oem from the dealer auxillary transmission cooler at full speeds. The risk of this issue can cause damage to the truck and needs to be looked into as it can cause the fans and coolant to cause damage to the vehicles and also not let an accurate readout of engine temps to let them know of actual issues present. Code is code P01028 that gets stored but the issue is in the thermostats that the threshold for an engine that doesn't reach it's cutoff value shuts it down.
Dashboard cracked at passenger airbag area when truck had less than 25,000. Chevrolet replaced it under warranty. At about 100,000 the dashboard cracked in the same exact location. Concerned that because of the location of the crack it may effect the passenger airbag. Everyone I know with this truck in the 2011 - 2012 models has the same exact crack in the same exact location.
My dash started a small crack by the passenger airbag. It's a very common issue between 07-13 GM trucks and SUVS. They seem to randomly crack I had mine crack overnight. It makes a horrible vibration sound while driving it's kind off annoying to drive now.
No part available for the climate control, with a mail in procedure and a 30 day turn around time. This creates a visibility hazard while driving. Inability to control the heat during colder climate while creating foggy windows and trying to travel. This is a safety hazard for the driver as well as the public! I cannot take the part out for a month because I have no idea what the weather will be like 10 minutes from now and if I did would be without for 30 days and not have the ability to clear a foggy windshield!
There has been various occasions where we are driving and the truck stops with no warning or reason, the first time was on I-95 highway in philadelphia mid traffic the truck turned off and would not restart for about 5minutes we weee stuck in the middle of the road blocking traffic, no check engine light or any warning light came on. The second time was just this week on the way to two different mechanics to get the computer read it turned off yet again in the middle of the road. Both mechanics said nothing can up on the scanner when connected and there were no check engine lights turned on.
Cracked dash above instrument cluster and at it bag. Started at 48000 miles. If in a wreck and air bag deploys shards of dash can fly through the air. Things can get down in instrument cluster and cause a short which can lead to a fire. Vehicle can be sitting in a heated garage and it keeps getting worse
