53 reportsMAJOR CRACKS IN DASH BOARD ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS CRACKS RIGHT NEXT TO IT. IF AIRBAG GOES OFF PARTS OF DASHBOARD WILL GO FLYING AND COULD INJURE SOMEONE IN THE CAR.
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL SPOTS. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IT IS CRACKING AT THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AREA. IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT COULD BE PUNCTURED OR CUT DURING DEPLOYMENT DUE TO THIS CRACKED DASHBOARD.
THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. CERTAINLY I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX. THE VEHICLE IS USED ONLY FOR LEISURE AND IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WHEN NOT IN USE.

IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT I HAVE A CAR IN SUCH PRISTINE CONDITION WITH LOW-MILEAGE & THE DASH BOARD LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING IN A 35 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER & GM IT IS THE DASH PAD & IS AROUND $1800.00-$1900.00 TO REPLACE. NOT ONLY IS IT A VISUAL & NOISE NUISANCE I FEEL IT COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF I WERE IN & ACCIDENT & THE DASH WOULD SPLINTER INTO HUNDREDS OF PIECES THAT COULD KILL OR CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES EVEN BLINDNESS.

THE EDGES ARE VERY SHARP. A PIECE HAS CRACKED AND FELL INTO THE A/C VENT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THE DASH COULD CUT THE AIRBAG AS IT PASSES BY THE SHARP EDGE…
