This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Paint has peeled off above the windshield, paint looks very thin and brittle. Dashboard has two cracks near the passenger airbag. I am worried that if the airbag every went off the piece of plastic will be shot off and be a piece of shrapnel in an accident.
The dash is cracked in several places including around the airbag compartment. The cracking happened spontaneously for no apparent reason and has steadily gotten worse.
Vehicle dash cracked around passenger side airbag. Took vehicle into dealership advised not under any warranty or recalls. Worried in the event of a collision pieces may become flying objects in the event of air bag deployment.
The dash above the steering wheel cracked on 12/4/2019, now making a rattling noise. The crack now is going to expand due to vibration and it could effect the drivers side airbag down the line.
I have a cracks in my dashboard. One of which is by the passenger side airbag, which if was inflated would send plastic dashboard pieces into the passenger face, due to the brittleness of the plastic that cracks when touched. There is another crack on the driver side of the dash, which is brittle to the touch. GM refuses to fix for free, even knowing there are thousands of vehicles with the same problem. The faulty plastic dashboard continues to get worse, as GM has installed these defective dashboards in thousands of vehicles.
Dash has cracked near passenger airbag, heard a loud pop while driving down interstate then noticed the crack, poor quality plastic or other issue is occurring to thousands of vehicles, how long before someone gets seriously injured before it gets investigated
Right after purchasing my used truck that had around 68,000 miles on it the dash cracked in two different places. The dash cracked just above the instrument cluster and above the passenger airbag.
The dashboard has a crack on the passenger side where the airbag cutout is. I believe this is a major safety issue. Especially if you're in an accident and the airbag deployed there will be pictures of dash board shards fiying through the air and possibly into the occupants with force from the airbag.
Clutches in transmission where when truck in drive the truck will not go to 40 or above. The truck was moving on city street head toward 95 North. As a result of problem I had to use aaa to get back to baltimore from frederickburg va this is the second times since the vehicle has been in my name that this problem happen. The first time was July 26 2016 where the dealership repair (under warranty) this transmission problem seem very immature due age of truck and less than 65000 miles
Dashboard spontaneously cracked near the top left corner of the airbag. The dashboard was intact when locked up overnight, and when I returned to drive the truck the next morning, the dashboard had spontaneously cracked overnight while sitting in my driveway.
My dash cracked straight line above and attached to airbag, wasn't there, next day it was, Nov 2016 38,000 mi. Called dealership(s) and I called GM/chev support and they said since it was no longer under warranty and there was no recall I would have to pay for it...I expressed my concerns as a huge safety issue and obvious defect.
