Description of the problem | Poor dash design that cracked when the vehicle hit 45,000 miles. It poses a safety concern if the airbag deploys because the crack is in the corner surrounding the air bag. Neither gm or the extended warranty company will cover the cost of repairs. Neither seems concerned about the safety, but why should they because it's not their family assuming any risk. |
