| Description of the problem | I own a 2009 chevrolet tahoe that the dash board all of a sudden began showing cracks, within a peroid of 3 months after noticing, these cracks have traveled up the dash board above instrument panel, and at passenger side air bag cover. Eventually the dash will fall completely in. I am concerned that if the passenger air bag is deployed, the dash is so brital that fragments of the dash will cause severe cuts, and bodily harm with the possibilty of death. |
