7 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2015

Beginning of December 2015, noticed a dash crack over instrument panel behind steering wheel. Also small crack by passenger air bag. Contacted and took to ray Chevrolet. I expressed concern about crack by airbag--was told by service manager that it was probably not a safety issue and the amount that I had to pay was determined by a formula by gm. Gm said there is a formula but local dealer has leeway on price. First offer was $320; second offer by dealer $200. Gm says they can't help. Noticed on the internet, lots of complaints about this very issue. Crack by dash appears to be getting larger. Car is in excellent condition and has been well cared for. 57,000 miles.

Failure Date: 12/23/2014

The dashboard is cracking for no apparent reason. One crack near the airbag on the passenger side, the second one is directly above the speedometer and gages.

11 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2013

The dash is cracked around the passenger side airbag. Upon checking the internet I found this is a common problem on Chevrolet trucks. I am concerned that the structural integrity of the air bag may be compromised in the event of the air bag deployment. It may be possible that pieces of the airbag could break off and strike the occupant in the passenger seat or it may deflect the air bag altogether. Chevrolet is not taking the responsibility for fixing this even though it is not a part that would receive wear and tear and it is just an obvious defect in the design.
