A CRACK APPEARED IN THE DASH ON THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG! TWO MONTHS LATER ANOTHER CRACK APPEARED OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. CURRENTLY THE ENTIRE CENTER PORTION OF THE DASH IS SINKING. OUR FEAR IS THIS WILL CAUSE AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION OR IF THE AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY, THE ENTIRE CENTER PORTION OF THE DASH WILL BE THROWN INTO OUR FACE. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY AGREED TO PAY 60% TO HAVE A NEW DASH PUT IN. *TR

MY DASH ON MY SUBURBAN IS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I FEEL THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG COMES OUT IT MAY THROW PLASTIC PIECES EVERYWHERE. *TR

TWO LARGE CRACKS APPEARED IN MY DASH RECENTLY - NO ACCIDENT, NO SPECIAL CLEANING SOLUTION, NOTHING. ONE CRACK IS OVER THE CONTROL CONSOLE NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE OTHER IS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE CRACK SURROUNDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COULD POSSIBLY HINDER THE AIRBAG FROM WORKING PROPERLY OR COULD POSSIBLY EJECT SHARDS OF HARD PLASTIC INTO MY PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAG DID DEPLOY. GM SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE ALL THESE DASHES TO PREVENT INJURY/DEATH! *TR
