Description of the problem | Bought used in the beginning of september 2015 and a month later noticed two cracks in my dashboard (one by the passenger side air bag and the other over the gauge cluster). In november i contacted chevrolet customer service after reading many have had similar problems and they had a dealership look at it at their expense but told me it would take over $1,000 to repair. I feel that if this is a common problem, gm should be responsible for because if i were to get in an accident the dashboard can become pieces of shrapnel and interfere with the airbag deployment. |
