Description of the problem | Severe cracks have developed in my dashboard at the passenger air bag & above the instrument cluster / speedometer. It is my understanding there have been a multitude of similar issues with other gm models. Appears to be a manufacturing defect w/ the plastic material and / or the manufacture of the dashes. Gm has declined a voluntary recall, even though in an accident, it is likely that shards of the dash could separate & cause severe injuries to the occupants. |
