THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNTRUP BUICK GMC (4200 I-70 NORTH OUTER RD, ST.

DASHBOARD CRACKING THROUGH OUT THE TOP OF THE WHOLE DASHBOARD INCLUDING SURROUNDING THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS IN MULTIPLE TRUCKS AT THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS SHOWN PROOF

NUMEROUS DASHBOARD CRACKS ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER AIRBAG. COULD CAUSE SPLINTERS OF PLASTIC IN CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

MY DASH KEEPS CRACKING ONE OF WHICH IS NEXT TO AIR BAG! 80K MILES

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING, NOTICED CRACK IN DASH IN UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING IN MY GARAGE. VERY CONCERNED IF THIS WILL AFFECT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AIRBAG OR POSSIBLY CAUSE AN INJURY IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT.

SEVERELY CRACKED DASHBOARD. VEHICLE IS GARAGED AND WE USE A SUNSHADE WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE.

MIDDLE OF DASHBOARD CRACKED AND COMING A PART. PIECES BEGINNING TO FALL OFF. FEAR THAT IF AIR BAGS WERE TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT - THE PIECES OF PLASTIC WOULD BECOME EMBEDDED IN THE BODY OF THOSE IN THE CAR.

IN APRIL 2016 WHILE IN MOTION MY SIGHT WAS DRAWN AWAY FROM THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC BY A RESONANTING "FLAPPING" OF THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD ASSEMBLY. WHEN I LATER STOPPED I FOUND A SEVERE FRACTURE IN THE COMPOSITE MATERIAL TO THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE AIR BAG RESERVOIR (?). I HAVE THE VEHICLE AT A GM DEALER NOW AS DRIVING THE UNIT WITH A PULSATING DASHBOARD WAS A VERY ADVERSE DISTRACTION. WHILE GM APPEARS TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PRODUCT FAULT EXISTS, I STILL HAVE TO PAY OVER $300 TOWARD REPLACING THE DASHBOARD UNIT.
