| Description of the problem | Cracks in the dashboard of my 2009 chevrolet tahoe have been appearing over the past 7 months. Gm and chevrolet refuse to acknowledge a fleetwide problem and will only pay for partial repairs. One of the cracks is in approximation to the passenger side airbag and how the airbag deployment will affect the dashboard (and vica versa) is unknown and worrisome. Gm and chevrolet refuse to pay for a defective part replacement on their vehicles for this issue that affects hundreds, if not thousands of their vehicles. |
