1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/23/2016

The dash in my 2012 silverado truck has cracked on it's own in front of the passenger side airbag. This is a known defect to consumers(just do a google search) with a safety concern that if the air is deployed, the cracked plastic could get blown off and become a deadly projectile. There is no aspect of this that can or should be considered safe.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/24/2016

The dash has a crack above the passenger side airbag. The crack is completely through the entire piece of plastic so it makes me concerned to drive the vehicle if it were involved in an accident I am not certain that there wouldn't be plastic flying throughout the cab of the truck. The truck has just over 60000 miles and we were told it is out of warranty therefore the estimate to repair is $1004.
