| Description of the problem | Dashboard has been cracking around passenger side airbag area, concerning me that if god forbid an accident happened and the airbag was deployed on passenger side, shards of this cracked dashboard could be dispersed into the area, causing possible laceration or fatal harm to passenger and driver. When investigating, i found this to be very common in this vehicle make and model, with many many people( thousands of them) posting pictures and describing the same issue in "the exact same spots"!!!!. Also, the cracks seem to happen over the steering column in addition to the passenger airbag, causing more safety concerns that driving components could now be exposed to damaging heat and ice rays affecting driving safety. I have brought this issue to gm dealership where i purchased car, and they have ignored me. I have also called corporate, and they have also offered no assistance. There is approximately 20,000 people on a web forum called "change. Org.", that have explained identical concerns for airbag safety with these cracking dashboards, and the petition has even been brought to gm ceo attention. I am concerned for my families well-being and lives, if ever i was in an accident where these airbags deploy. The cracked dashboard in that area could be a potential lethal weapon causing harm. Thank you |
