Description of the problem | I own a 2008 chevy avalanche that has the dashboard cracking by the airbag and above the dashboard cluster which is going to resul in someone getting seriously injured or even lost of a life (deaf). While driving on a rough road a section of the dash broke from being cracked striking me in my face next to my left eye. If not have reacted in urgent moment the dashboard piece that broke from the dash would have struck me in the eye and could have caused me to loose my eye. I contacted gm coporate office about the problem and was told not there problem. U guys really need to recall this defect urgent as possible because the next owner with a cracked dashboard might not be as lucky as i where may loose there eye or even there life. It's a shame that gm don't care n it seems after looking at all the complaints that's been received here nhtsa doesn't care if someone get seriously injured or lost of life either. So much for our government. |
