Carrier/rack Problems of Chevrolet Avalanche - part 1

Dashboard has 5 large cracks 4 lateral an 1 vertical top front speaker has fallen off clips. Vehicle dashboard started cracking while just sitting over time and while driving road vibration help cracking continue I'm afraid that with the cracking since it is in the passenger airbag area as well it could cause airbag to deploy causing more damage injuries to passenger or a wreck by suddenly going off and causing driver to swerve suddenly.

A crack on the passenger side above the airbag appeared 3 years after I bought the truck. Now the driver side has multiple cracks over the instrument panel. It seems to be getting worse.

My dash has cracked on my 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. My 2010 yukon denali also has the same issue. This is a major issue with multiple year vehicles and gm needs to take care of their faithful. If not taken care of I will not buy another gm. Gm needs to own this and do the right thing and stop worrying about just putting money in their own pocket. This is stealing from the consumer and is not acceptable.

The dashboard has cracked around the instrument cluster and the air bag. Causing safety hazards. It is obviously a flawed design gm refuses to own up to. The vehicle also has some electrical issue that causes the trucks to come to a stop on the interstate.
