Consumer Description

THE DASH IS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. UPON CHECKING THE INTERNET I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON CHEVROLET TRUCKS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG MAY BE COMPROMISED IN THE EVENT OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT PIECES OF THE AIRBAG COULD BREAK OFF AND STRIKE THE OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR IT MAY DEFLECT THE AIR BAG ALTOGETHER. CHEVROLET IS NOT TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT A PART THAT WOULD RECEIVE WEAR AND TEAR AND IT IS JUST AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. *TR
