On our 2008 chevy Silverado 1500 lt 4x4 z71, the dashboard has cracked so badly where the passenger airbag is, that if the airbag were to deploy, plastic shrapnel is going to go flying, which could injure or possibly kill someone. On the flipside; the airbag may not even deploy due to the damaged dashboard. In either case, this is a major safety issue that gm refuses to acknowledge, dispite now thousands of customers tahoes, suburbans, and (all chevy & GMC trucks & SUV's 2007 and newer) having the exact same issue. After multiple calls to chevy and gm, and them being extremely rude and in denial; the best they can do is to replace the dash for a price of $200-500, which we currently don't have, and should not have to pay for, as gm should stand behind the safety of their vehicles after charging the prices they do. In the meantime, we don't feel safe even driving our truck down the street. This is a serious safety issue, and needs to be an urgent recall, before someone is killed! there are message boards, facebook pages, and twitter accounts all set up just for frustrated chevy & GMC customers having the cracked dashboard and airbag issue, so please investigate this problem, NHTSA. Since gm refuses to help it's thousands of scared customers, we pray you will help to stop this madness.

2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, airbag sensor and check engine light came on with out accident or incident. We called gm and they told us to take it to a dealer. We took to the dealer we bought the truck from new. They ran diagnostic testing and it came back evaporative emission sensor and inflatable restraint front sensor were bad. As a safety/emissions problem it should have been covered under warranty. They gave us a $600 bill in which we made them call the gm representative. They then had us pay $250. 2 1/2 years later and airbag sensor light is back on without accident. This seems to be a big complaint with this year truck. It seems that if the sensor is not working and my family were to be in an accident my airbags would not deploy and we could be hurt or killed in an accident. Please investigate the air bag sensors.
