Dash is cracked at the upper left corner of the passenger air bag. I'm concerned that air bag deployment may be affected. Also, pieces of the dash may become air born in the event of an air bag deployment.
Cracked dash above instrument cluster and at it bag. Started at 48000 miles. If in a wreck and air bag deploys shards of dash can fly through the air. Things can get down in instrument cluster and cause a short which can lead to a fire. Vehicle can be sitting in a heated garage and it keeps getting worse.
The dashboard has cracked in several places and is noisy while driving down the road. It is a distraction to the driver.

The common dash cracks. One to the top left of the instrument panel and the other along the top of the airbag on the passenger side.

My 2012 Chevrolet silvado has a crack around the airbag. There has been no wreck just happen. It also has a crack on the other side of the dash.
The dashboard cracked right near airbag on passenger side. I do not use any type of cleaner to make it crack and I also use a visor to cover wind shield. I had this truck for a year and couple months. Every person that I speak with had same problem. And the same spot. I was literally just on my way to dad's house with a birthday cake and I heard a noise so when I got to my destination I looked and didn't notice anything so my boyfriend looked and saw the crack.
Cracks on the dash board around airbag and also in front of the steer wheel on the top and bottom of dash.

The dash have three cracks in it even though I keep it covered. I see that there are several complaints about the same situation and yet Chevrolet and or the dealers refuse to replace it. I was told it would cost between $200. 00 to $250. 00 to replace it. Chevrolet know of this and yet do not want to take responsibility. Even the dealer stated the this is a defect.
