| Description of the problem | The dash is cracked in several places. The cracks occurred over time due to the vibrations that occur while operating the vehicle. The cracks started as small cracks and grew into the cracks shown in the pictures below. I know this is an issue with many gm models that were built around 2010. A simple internet search will reveal many gm owners that also have cracked dashes. This is a safety issue. If my airbag goes off there is a high probability that the dash breaks apart and one of the dash pieces becomes a projectile, endangering the passengers in my vehicle, or slashes the airbag as it inflates (if it inflates because nhtsa has not yet required gm to issue a recall on my takata airbag). There are thousands of people with the same issue. It would cost me over $1,000 to replace the dash myself. Gm should be required to replace the faulty product that they put in my car, which is now a danger to my any my passengers' safety. |
