My dash was fine on 6-10-15, when got in it on the morning of 6-11-15 the dash was cracked by the airbag. The vehicle is 5 years old but only has 54,000 miles. I am the only owner and it has been well maintained. This seems to be a very frequent problem that is occurring with Chevrolet vehicles. . Read more...

4 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2015

Three cracks around the passenger airbag. First cracked appeared about 60,000 miles followed by the next smaller one then around 85,000 the larger one. This appears to be a common problem that gm is aware of but is not accepting responsibility for the potential safety hazard.

5 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2015

The dashboard is cracked in 3 places around the airbag. This could potentially be a safety hazard if the airbag were to deploy sending projectile pieces of plastic towards the occupants of the vehicle. The cracks in the dashboard formed due to an obvious design flaw. There was no incident that caused the cracks just normal driving.

6 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2014

I have owned the truck since new. In the last year the dash started cracking right above the passenger airbag. During the last month the crack has extended to the windshield.

7 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 11/03/2014

Cracks on dashboard.

8 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2014

Dashboard is cracked. Truck is always parked in the garage. This is unacceptable.

9 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2013

Noticed a crack on dashboard next to the upper left corner of the passenger side airbag. A few weeks later noticed another crack in the dashboard next to the lower left corner of the passenger side airbag. My concern that if the airbag deploys it could be punctured by the sharp edges of one of these cracks. Would like it replaced at no cost to me due to faulty design.
