AT 80,000 MILES I DISCOVERED THAT MY DASH IS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES AND THAT IT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO PASSENGERS IF THE CRACK (THAT IS SHARP PLASTIC) IS TO CUT OR RUPTURE THE AIRBAG IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND NEVER KEPT OUTSIDE. THIS IS A HUGE GM PROBLEM AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS THAT NEED THIS FIXED. THERE ARE EVEN FACEBOOK GROUPS WITH THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ACROSS MULTIPLE VEHICLES. THIS CRACK LITERALLY HAPPENED OUT OF NO WHERE.

UPPER DASH BOARD CRACKING SEVERELY ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL AS THE PLASTIC "CLIPS" THAT HOLD THE DASH BOARD IN PLACE BROKEN LOOSE. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD (1ST TIME UNDER WARRANTY - BROKEN PLASTIC CLIPS). THE CRACK JUST SUDDENLY APPEARED AFTER I HEARD SOME RATTLING IN AND AROUND THE CENTER OF THE DASH BOARD. DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL THERE WAS A 6" CRACK. COULD POSSIBLY HINDER STEERING COLUMN IF PLASTIC PIECES FROM THE CRACK FALL INTO THE AREA. PLASTIC SHARDS COULD POSE DANGEROUS IF ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. OTHERS REPORT CRACKS BY PASSENGER AIRBAG.
