Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD IS COMING UP RIGHT BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. IT IS STARTING TO GO ACROSS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THIS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THE SITUATION REQUIRES ATTENTION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT COULD DEPLOY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. LOOKING FOR GM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY ON A NOW KNOWN DEFECT AND SAFETY SITUATION. ALSO NOTED THAT VISIBILITY IS REDUCED TO THE DRIVER WITH THE DASH COMING UP AND RISING. *TR
