Dash cracked with 3 large cracks at 30,000 miles and chrome trim on door handles also peeled with sharp edges. Both were replaced by dealer and cracked again with < 10,000 additional miles GM refused to replace unless I paid 1/2 the cost of $1200 so never got fixed. This has happened to thousands of others and GM should be responsible for defects. I worked for GM and someone told me they were using too much torque when the dashes were installed but GM will not accept responsibility. I feel it is a safety issue as far as the airbags might go off accidentally while driving or not in the event of an accident!

Exterior door handle broke off in hand. First the rear door, and now all doors within a two year time frame. I'm not sure if this is related to the heat in Florida as the other recall on the interior door handles has been performed due to separation of the chrome. Exterior door handle breakage causes a risk from cuts and abrasions, and also the possibility of falling due to expecting the handle to stay in place and not break so easily. This also makes the vehicle a target for theft, as all that is required for a break in is a hard pull and a screw driver making easy access for a criminal.
