Description of the problem | I have two vehicles that did the exact same thing in the exact location about 2 weeks apart. I have a 2009 gmc yukon and a 2008 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving, we heard a loud pop. After investigating what had happened we noticed the dash board was cracked over the passenger side dashboard airbag. This happened in the yukon 1st then 2 weeks later it happened in the truck. Same crack, same loud pop, same location on the dashboard. Fearing that the airbag will come out at any moment, i called premier chevrolet in bessemer alabama. They said this was not under any warranty nor any recall. The service manager stated, "that sucks for you". This is a major safety issue that i feel i should not have to pay for. How in the world can a airbag popping the dashboard in two of my vehicles be a customer problem? If this airbag fully deploys and injures or kills one of my kids then what? This has to be a gm recall. Please help me with this problem before someone gets hurt. Please call me anytime for further details. |
