| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2009 chevy tahoe used and a knew about the cracking dashes so i made sure the one i purchased didn't have any cracks. I thought maybe they had resolved the issue. Well, after filling up with gas the other day i looked over ad noticed and crack in my dash right at the airbag. This is very concerning as i have 3 kids that ride in that car and if the airbag goes off i'm afraid the plastic will act like shrapnel and really hurt someone. Gm knows about this and i contacted them about it and they are not willing to do anything about it. More people need to come forward on this matter and gm needs to address it fast before someone gets killed. |
