Carrier/rack Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 1

Dash board of my vehicle has cracked around the area of my air bag. Worried that my air bag will not work properly if ever in an accident. No dash board should crack! either the material's used when made were not as durable as they should be. Truck has been maintained in excellent condition since it was bought from dealership. No inspection, no safety lights on, no warning lights on. As being the original owner and seeing this worries me and my safety. No dashboard should never crack/split.

Dashboard is cracked in different areas. Also when I took the truck to get a recall fixed (takata airbag) the dealer cracked it in 2 different areas. I complained to dealership but they refuse to replace it.

Dash cracked across top of instrument cluster and above the airbag. Took truck in for airbag recall. Went to pick up truck from recall and found a big hole about 3 inches in the top of my dash beside the passenger air bag. I was not warned by service desk of possible damage form air bag replacement nor was I informed by service desk when the damage was done. Nothing was said when I picked up my truck. I complained about the damage a was told it was due to uv rays. Truck has 60,000 miles and has been kept in garage. They did not even clean up the dash when they were done. I can;t drive the truck with family members in it because I feel it is unsafe. Will probably have to put in a new dash just to be able to trade it off. It is just not right. Another issue was with the engine and was turned into the dealership when it has 36,000 miles. The engine has a miss when in park or setting at a light. The rpm drops 150- 200 rpms continuously. After they had the truck for 3 days I was told it was normal. It was the computer adjusting for emissions. Maybe but why did they give me a gm store voucher for 500 dollars? to buy me off, shut me up. Who knows. It just ain't right.

The dashboard on my 2012 chevy Silverado 1500 is cracked in two places. The crack next to the passenger side airbag has been there since I bought the vehicle but the crack in the middle of the dashboard just appeared from normal city street and highway driving. I am concerned it could be a problem if I am involved in an accident.

Factory paint defect on roof, some rust from center roof light area,also cracked dashboard.

While driving around 40 mph and higher truck suffers extreme wind noise which the dealership describes as wind turbulence. Truck sounds like a window is cracked open while driving even though all windows are all the way up.

Plastic dashboard cracking around passenger airbag and drivers side instrument panel.

Dash cracked-my dash was replaced under warranty once already. It was cracked near the passenger airbag. It is now cracked again across the front window defrost on the drivers side. My truck is 7 years old and now needs the dash replaced for a 2nd time. I think that is a bit ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is that after it was replaced the first time the service tech told me that they new it was a problem with all of the black interior vehicles that had the gray dash and that it will crack again. Well its 5-6 yrs from when I had it replaced and its cracked again.

Radiator has stress cracks in the upper left corner. The dealer has done water pump replacement and thermostats upgrade. Dealer has replaced radiator 3 times and I have paid labor and parts. The cracks occur about every 2 years.

Two cracks in the dash have formed. One on the drivers side and one on the passengers side. The crack on the passengers side travels from the dash air bag to the top joint between the two dash pieces. The crack on the drivers side travels from the joint between the two dash pieces towards the driver along the left side of the instrument portion of the dash. Notice the crack on the drivers side when sitting stationary in my driveway and then finding the crack on the passengers side.

Excessive cracking and breaking apart of the upper plastic dash. Pieces of the dash have broken free and fallen down behind the dash. This is not a result of a collision but the result of fault materials utilized in the dash design. I don't have a specific date or miles, the excessive cracking and breaking apart has happened during normal driving.

I came back from work and the dash is cracked. Doors were locked.

Long story short. This is a weekly issue that I no longer feel safe in this truck. Last year about 5/2020 I took it on a 6 hour-round trip drive. The highway is 70 miles per hour. About midway back home the truck jerked hard and shut off for a second and turned back on. While I was driving on the highway at 70mph! I pulled over to make sure everything was still "okay" to drive home for the next 2 hours. I am very lucky that, that did not result into a serious collision. I had a full truck of people including a child along with a 4x4 in the bed of the truck. This continues to be an on going issue with the "stabilitrack" alert always coming on every second. Another occasion I was pulling into a parking lot when half-way through the entrance way, the truck shut off, completely. None of the lights turned on, the truck would not turn on for a good 10 minutes. I was blocking the entrance and there was nothing I could do about it. Then just recently I notice that my lights, all lights flicker when I move the steering wheel or when I step on the break and gas pedals. If I drive it long enough all sound is off even though the volume is up. Then when I need to make any turn, any direction, the wheel becomes hard to turn to the point where I cannot move the steering wheel then it shuts off again. I have been lucky that I have not been in a serious collison due to this. I see a lot of complaints regarding the same issues I have. I have two small children and if this truck is the reason we get injured, I will be seeking legal action. I have taken it in to a local dealership with my concerns but the diagnostics never bring up an issue.

There's multiple cracks in the dashboard ,1 on the passenger side near the airbag and 2 additional cracks on the driver side .

The dash area around the passenger airbag cover is cracked and would be a flying debris hazard in an accident, especially if the airbag were to deploy. In addition cracks exist directly in front of the steering column that, when the sun hits it, creates a glare that affects visibility. Both of these are safety concerns and gm said that its normal. How is anything that can become flying shrapnel or blinding the driver not a concern or normal. This needs to be resolved before someone gets seriously hurt. These cracks appeared over a year ago but they've now gotten worse and the glare has become more of an issue.

Dash is cracking.

My truck is in great condition and is parked in our garage or works covered garage 90% of the time. So way has the dash cracked everywhere? I see on line that this is a common problem and has been blamed on leaving in the sun but my truck isn't in that category. I would send pictures if I thought someone would care. Call me, I'd love to talk to someone.
