While driving to work one morning an error message flashed engine reduced power, stability control loss. Truck struggled to accelerate. Has happened several times since November 2015 on city streets or highways can happen at any time. I had to replace entire system from throttle body to the pedal assembly have found out that this is common problem that gm knows about along with the cracks in the dash around air bag on passenger side and the instrument cluster and refuses to recall and fix cracks in air bag housing could pose a safety hazard along with loss of engine power from faulty wiring.
Dashboard has two cracks. Each crack is about 2 inches long. One of them is on the left side, about 12 inches from the steering wheel. The other crack is on the top-left corner outside of the airbag area. The cracks have been getting bigger in the last few weeks. It appears that if an airbag were to deploy, the sharp end of the cracked dashboard could cause significant injury rather than protection. Normal driving conditions caused it. No known objects have been placed on dashboard to exert such force to cause it to break.
This truck is four years old, has 30,000 miles, is garage kept (never parked in the sun) and the dash has cracked near the air bag area. I am concerned the deployment of the airbag could be affected by the cracked dash.
