2011 Chevy Silverado lt with a cracked dash on the drivers side and by the airbag. Always have a sun screen over dash during the day and in the garage when at home.
Dashboard around passenger airbag is splitting as many other are. In the event of an accident that would cause stress on the dash from abrupt airbag inflation, plastic could become shrapnel and cause serious injury or death.
I have a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 and the dash board is cracking around the passenger side air bag. I have taken this to my GM dealer and the service manager took photos and told me that he would get back to me but has not. I have made numerous attempts to try and get him to help me with getting this repaired through GM and he shows no concern. Vehicle has sustained to impact that would cause this.
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.

Myself as well as many others dash's are cracking randomly in our Chevrolet Silverado pickups. Mine is cracked just to the upper left of the passenger airbag. I have reached out to GM and they have acknowledged an issue have offered to pay $590 towards the repair. I am not satisfied with that and there are several other thousand people that have the same issue with the same results or worse. I would really like to see GM be held accountable for this as I believe this is an safety concern with the passenger airbag deploying in an emergency. There is a facebook page with several thousand members dedicated to this matter it is named "07-13 GM cracked dash safety hazard for all trucks"
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

Ive tried emailing service dept but no reply. Just last week in New York post was a story of a lady who for what ever reason lost her legs due to some kind of problem with the stabiltrac.I do not want to be a stat on this.
The dash has a crack in it. 2011 Chevy Silverado 42,000 miles. The dash should not have a crack in it. This is a problem General Motors knows about and will not recall this problem!! if the passenger air bag was deployed parts from the dash will fly apart causing serious injury!!
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. For the price we have to pay for our vehicles we should be getting a better product.
