Carrier/rack problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

Cracked dashboard near airbag.

Cracked dashboard around air bag.

Cracked dash. Common issue with 2007-2013 from a quick search online. Cracked right at air bag so worried if air bag were to come out shards of plastic would deflate air bag or hurt passengers.

Passenger side dashboard is cracked between the airbag cover and the front of the dashboard top panel. It turns out this is a problem others have noticed on these models as well. My concern is the proximity to the airbag. Other owners have posted photos of larger cracks and holes in the dashboard in this location. I don't want it to cause an issue with airbag functionality were there to be an airbag deployment event. I don't know how long this had been cracked but it was first noticed by my wife on 5/13/2017.

The dash on my 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has cracked just above the airbag on the passenger side of the vehicle. To me this poses a safety concern should there be a collision causing the airbag to deploy where the crack may puncture the airbag. The vehicle was stationary, being parked just in front of my house when the crack occurred.

The dashboard around the front passenger airbag is cracked. Unknown when it cracked.

I purchased this vehicle new from crews chevroet in north charleston south carolina. The vehicle has less than 12000 miles. Approximately two weeks ago for no apparent reason I discovered a crack in the dash near the passanger air bag. I took the vehicle to crews Chevrolet and the service person stated it was probably due to the sun. I purchased gm's major guard extended protection and eventhough the dash is not listed under items not covered I was told the dash is not covered under the extended warranty. I have contacted Chevrolet customer service and am scheduled to have the vehicle inspected again on 27 may 2017. This is definately a product defect or material defect. I have read on the internet all the other cracked dash issues with gm/Chevrolet. At what point is gm/Chevrolet going to admit this is a defect and customers will see a recall? this crack runs right at the corner of the passanger airbag and I feel this is a safety issue.

Cracked dashboard with only 50k miles on the truck.

My dash cracked straight line above and attached to airbag, wasn't there, next day it was,Nov 2016 38,000 mi. Called dealership(s) and I called gm/chev support and they said since it was no longer under warranty and there was no recall I would have to pay for it. . . I expressed my concerns as a huge safety issue and obvious defect.

I have two cracks on my dashboard . One crack is directly over my instrument panel, and the second is on passenger side off the left corner of airbag. This 2013 Chevrolet silverado ltz c1500 has only 47,414 miles on it. This is obviously a defect by manufacturer. I baby this truck and keep it covered under my carport at my home. I drive a company truck on week days and my truck on weekends. These two cracks happened while truck was sitting stationary under my carport. Is there a recall on this ,and will manufacturer replace at no cost to me.

The dash developed a crack at the left corner of the passenger airbag, which was identical to the one that occurred in our 2012 Chevrolet suburban. The vehicle is in excellent condition, and extremely well maintained. Miles are at 32,000, but the factory warranty ran out at the end of may and chevy refuses to cover the repair at 100%.

Dashboard starting to crack on passenger side. 3 years 7 days. . .

Has 28k miles on it and the paint has runs and clear coat peeled. Dash is also cracked giving serious concerns to air bag deployment causing flying depris. Dealer basically said your sol.

Dash began to crack around the passenger airbag. I am afraid that the dash pieces can become flying projectiles in the event of an accident where the passenger or side impact airbag deploys.

My dash has crack in it ,on top of passenger side airbag( that should and is a safety issue! the other crack is on the driver side!!!.

Cracked dash, through and through, resulting in a sharp edge. This was a spontaneous crack. There was no force or trauma. It just randomly appeared.

I have a cracks in my dashboard. One of which is by the passenger side airbag, which if was inflated would send plastic dashboard pieces into the passenger face, due to the brittleness of the plastic that cracks when touched. There is another crack on the driver side of the dash, which is brittle to the touch. Gm refuses to fix for free, even knowing there are thousands of vehicles with the same problem. The faulty plastic dashboard continues to get worse, as gm has installed these defective dashboards in thousands of vehicles.

I noticed literally from one day to the next that the dash board in my 2013 Chevrolet silverado is cracking. The crack appeared on the left corner of the passenger side bag. I baby this truck in an attempt to keep it looking new. I don't even really drive it and it is garage kept. I feel this is a huge safety issue with the crack being right there on the air bag system. I have two kids and I don't even let then ride up front anymore in fear that the air bag might deploy and sharp pieces of the dash will fly in their faces.

Dashboard crack on the left-hand side of passenger airbag. And dashboard rattles on driver-side. Very concerned if in an accident the dashboard will send projectiles because it's so close to airbag.
