Description of the problem | Initially the dash board cracked in one corner on the passenger side, at the right upper corner of the inset for the passenger airbag. Now the dash board has split in the center and the left upper corner at the passenger side air bag. It seems if the passenger side air bag were to deploy the broken sections of the dash would become projectiles inflicting serious injury. I have notified the local chevy dealer, vester chevy, svc manager [xxx] , but they state it is a "normal" wear item! They refuse to address the issue. I have noticed in google searches and vehicles i look at the problem is widespread on gm tahoe and gmc yukons for several years of production. Please make this note a subject of concern. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
