My vehicle has 28,000 miles on it and my dash is cracking. It started cracking while on a cross country trip from California to georgia. It is cracking in several places and I am afraid the plastic like shards could become projectiles if involved in a collicion.
Top of dash board is cracked in numerous places above the steering wheel, center of dashboard, and around passenger airbag. Worried that this would be a safety concern in the event of an accident. There would be sharp pieces of dash board being thrown around the cab and might affect deployment of passenger air bag. I have additional photos but they are over the 5mb limit.
My dash is cracked around my passenger side air bag a and dropped down a little bit my concern if that air bag would open it could be a danger to me and who ever would be ridding with me. And on top of that it now rattles while driving which is a distraction,this started about 2 years ago and is getting worst.
Dash is cracked near the airbag.
Dash cracked next to passenger airbag cover. Vehicle was stationary when this occurred.
Cracked dash going from the passenger side airbag cover to the dash vent. Also, the mounting bracket for the sames vent clip is broken causing the dash cover to bounce around.
The dashboard in my 2013 GMC Sierra 2500hd has a crack that runs from the radius of the upper left hand corner of the passenger side airbag to the fwd edge of the dashboard that runs parallel to the windshield. The crack penetrates through the dashboard completely creating two separate sections with almost complete freedom of movement. Activation by the airbag will cause interference/contact between the device, and/or its components, and with the non-secured sections of the dashboard and most likely result in them being separated/dislodged and potentially launched in the cabin resulting in possible strikes to occupants. The vehicle was parked in my driveway with no crack and when I emerged the next morning and entered the vehicle, started the engine, the crack occurred. The mere potential for interference between the air bag activation and broken dashboard sections, obviously due to a poor, insufficiently tested design, (reliability testing?) should drive the engineers to revisit current risk analysis tools. It's clear the rpn for this type of failure mode in an fmea would not qualify under current industry standards.
Dash cracks around air bag always been garged.
