The dashboard cracked on the passenger side of vehicle near the top left corner of the passenger side air bag. Dealership would fix the issue but only at full cost to me, even though I expressed the concern I have how if the airbag were to deploy the sharp edges of the cracked area may not allow the air bag to work properly. I.e. could puncture the airbag. Also shards of the dashboard could cause harm if airbag were to deploy
I have a 2011 Silverado 1500 and about 6 months ago my dash around the passenger air bag started to crack. I now have 2 cracks and the area feels loose which worries me that in case of a accident with airbag deployment on the passanger side, that this could impair the safety and design for its purpose.
The truck had less than 50,000 miles when we noticed a crack in the dash running from the upper left corner of the air bag cover and the defroster vent. I know several other trucks with this same issue. It appears to be a design flaw. I went to the local dealer and he estimated it would take nearly $1,000 to fix. I wonder if this crack would be negatively influenced if the air bag ever inflates causing more damage or injury.
The dash bord in my truck has a crack next to the air bag which am scare is going to be a safe issue and this I noticed when the truck had about 45000 miles
Takata recall the dash in my 2011 Chevrolet pickup suddenly cracked. It is cracked in the corner of the passenger airbag I ask my Chevrolet dealer and they said it wasn't covered under the warranty. I have heard of several GM owners that have thw same problem. The venicle was not in motion. This vehicle has not been exposed to extended peroids of sunshine or hot weather. The vhicle is normally kept in my garage when not in use. Photos could be privided but I do not know how to do it.

My dash is cracking around the passenger airbag and above the instrument cluster. I am concerned that the cracked areas could come loose and become a projectile. The engine is also burning oil badly and could shut down while driving

The driver side door handle completely broke and now my door will not open. This is a real problem with several Chevrolet models my wife also has a 08 Tahoe and all four handles have been replaced and the driver side has pulled loose again.
