Description of the problem | Dash is cracking around the airbag and over the instrument panel. My concerns are that upon airbag deployment, splinters from the broken dash will become projectiles, hurting or killing the occupants. Also worried that someone may get cut when running their hands over the dash, such as a child or car wash employee. Have discussed this with gm and they are uninterested in repairing it, stating the vehicle is out of warranty. I feel this is not a warranty issue, it's a consumer safety issue. Dash's in gm's trucks year 2007-2013 are cracking by the thousands. Gm needs to recall and fix this problem before someone gets hurt or killed. |
