| Description of the problem | Around 40,000 miles the dash cracked above the instrument panel and around the passenger airbag. If there is an accident and the airbag deploys, i'm afraid it will send fragmented pieces of dash into the vehicle occupants. Additionally, i have concerns whether the jagged edges of plastic could potentially puncture the airbag upon deployment. This is a common occurrence and can be found with complaints all over the internet. Here is one example: https://www. Consumeraffairs. Com/automotive/gm_tahoe. Html |
