CRACK DASH THE TRUCK IS GARAGE SENSE I BROUGHT IT NEW IT HAS ONLY 21000 MILES IT NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE AS FAR JUST SETTING THE CRACK SEEMS TO BE GETTING BIGGER . THE TRUCK AS NEVER BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS .

CRACKED DASH. *TR

THE DASH AREA AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COVER IS CRACKED AND WOULD BE A FLYING DEBRIS HAZARD IN AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. IN ADDITION CRACKS EXIST DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE STEERING COLUMN THAT, WHEN THE SUN HITS IT, CREATES A GLARE THAT AFFECTS VISIBILITY. BOTH OF THESE ARE SAFETY CONCERNS AND GM SAID THAT ITS NORMAL. HOW IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BECOME FLYING SHRAPNEL OR BLINDING THE DRIVER NOT A CONCERN OR NORMAL. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THESE CRACKS APPEARED OVER A YEAR AGO BUT THEY'VE NOW GOTTEN WORSE AND THE GLARE HAS BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE. *TR
