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.

46 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2013

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.
