Description of the problem | I have various cracks in my dash. There is a large one in the middle of the dash. This one occurred just this year (2016). But the other is more concerning, especially since it is up against the passenger airbag. This one has existed for several years (2014 or earlier). I didn't think about this being a problem until the takata airbag recall came up. I am worried that should i get into an accident, that the cracked plastic will become loose debris, and cause additional harm to any passengers. An interesting thing i've noticed is a popping noise coming from the dash. This occurs after i have been driving with the air conditioner on for a while. When i perform a google search, this seems to be a fairly common problem. In fact, there is a facebook group that has about 5000 members - https://www. Facebook. Com/groups/gmdashcrack/ - this is how i found out about this website. I am uploading 2 pictures. The image ending in 27, is the center crack. You'll notice that it is split completely for the full depth of that piece. The image ending in 32, is the crack that sits next to the passenger airbag. I am unable to determine if these cracks occurred while driving or not. They just seemed to appear over time. |
