Dashboard has cracked and broken in 2 separate places. Top left of the passenger airbag and top left of the instrument cluster with a piece broken out. This is a safety hazard with plastic pieces that can become projectiles or cut the airbag in the event of a crash. This is a common problem on many models and will get worse as the plastic has become brittle. Vehicle is a 2011 year with 82000 miles.

My 2011 silverdo dash is cracking by the passanger air bag and above the instrument panel. The cracks get bigger in cold temperatures and cause a bigger gap in the cold temperatures. As the weather gets warm the gap gets smaller. This crack is due to a defect in the dash material. I fear that if I were to get into a accident that pieces from the dash could cut the air bag if deployed causing serious or fiscal damage to myself or others riding in my truck. If others are injured in my truck due to my dash pieces cutting my air bag will I be sued because of a GM dash defect" I would also like to mention the clear plastic in my dash cluster is cracking. You touch it and it falls apart. Why"

I am one of the many that has a cracking dashboard that GM has refused to fix. Mine is above the passenger side airbag. I got in one day everything was fine, the next day got in to go and there was the crack. Vehicle was not moving when I noticed it. I have always had a sun shade in the window when the truck is parked.

My 2011 Silverado dash is cracking right by the passenger side air bag. This is happening on 2007 to 2013 General Motors vehicles. I believe this could cause pieces of the dash to break apart when the air bag goes off.

The dash on my 2011 Chevy Silverado lt has numerous cracks both on the visible parts, but more importantly around the bolts and screws that fasten it in place. My concern is that it is no longer structurally sound and that it could fail causing injury. This dash houses the passenger side air back and it has two cracks that touch the air bag. It is my concern that this is a safety issue. The dash is virtually cracked from one in to the other and the vehicle only has 64,000 miles.

I bought my 2011 Silverado with only 36,000 miles on it, before it ever reached 40,000 the dash cracked in the corner of the passenger airbag, and now above the odometer. I'm concerned for the safety of myself and my family if the airbag was to go off and send shards of sharp plastic though the vehicle. I would appreciate GM recalling and fixing the issue that they are already aware of.

Crack on dash at the airbag, it just cracked for no reason. Its right at the airbag, afraid that if airbag goes off the broke piece will fly out and hit someone. Or the airbag will get a hole in it. It was stationary.

The dash is cracking near the instrument cluster and near the air bag. I use a sunscreen, but this seems to be a common issue. This is too expensive and well taken care of a vehicle. I worries me that there may be some safety issues with a cracked plastic dash in case of accident.

Takata recall the dash is cracked in two locations, at passenger airbag and above the instrument cluster for no apparent reason. Vehicle is in excellent condition otherwise. There may be a safety issue due to the proximity to the passenger airbag.

Takata recall. For the past year plus, the dealer (paradise/Cadillac) in temecula ca. Has refused to repair the airbag and inflator on recall. My vehicle has been given high priority because of its age and high temperature where I live. I stop driving it because of fear for myself and family. It only has 24,500 miles in it.
