Description of the problem | Just noticed rigid plastic dashboard is cracked and compromised. Did a little research online and found this is a recurring issue involving many different models. The concern here is flying shards of a dashboard becoming deadly projectiles. This faulty design should be investigated immediately before harmful effects just so happen to be discovered or even worse, go undiscovered because the exploding shrapnel goes unattributed to the already compromised material in these gm vehicles. Game has already shown a history of denying problems exist with their vehicles,. The consequences that too many families had to endure while gm failed to recall faulty ignition switches speaks to the culture at gm. Deny a problem exist, pay settlements on a case by case basis, and only issue a recall when forced to, then just pay a small portion of our profits in fines while avoiding any prison time for deciding it's cheaper to settle with families and the feds with cash then face any real consequences that would be consistent with the safety of motorist who purchase our vehicles. All gm complaints need to be investigated forevermore |
