Dashboard cracked around the airbag area. Concerned of flying debris in case of an incident that involves airbag deployment.
I have the same safety concern many other owners are having. My dashboard is cracked in multiple spots, mainly around the airbag and instrument cluster. I believe this would affect the airbag from deploying properly or send sharp pieces of the dashboard into the cabin if impacted. I have contacted gm several times with zero assistance or concern on their part.
The dashboard cracked in 2 places. One crack is over the instrument cluster on the drivers side and the other is on the passenger side next to the air bag. I was told that the replacement part has been modified to correct this issue, but gm will not pay to replace the dash. Will the dash shatter if the air bags are deployed?.

The dash on my 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche has cracked in two places. One over the gauge cluster and one crack over the passenger air bag. This problem has affected more 2007 + silverados, tahoes, Avalanches , escalades and more. If the passenger air bag deploys with the broken dash, it will send plastic shards flying through the cabin. Gm should recall the defective dash and replace them.
Cracked, broken dashboard. Cracked in 2 corners of the passenger air bag. Crack goes all the way across to the drivers side. A section around the speaker has completely broke off. Cruise control no longer workers. Some speakers work sometimes, other times other ones work. Makes horrible rattling sound. Dealership says won't cover it and a new dash is over $800 for parts.
Dash has cracked around air bag. Engineering design flaw is likely to result in injury or death when air bag deploys.
