My vehicle's dash has developed two cracks on top of the instrument panel near the passenger airbag and above the driver's instrument cluster consistent with the many other complaints. Leads to the failure of the dash compromising the safety of passengers should airbags deploy. In an accident, plastic shards are more likely to injure passengers. In no way can this be expected to be normal and it concerns me that our safety could be compromised. This same issue has happened on my 2010 Chevrolet Suburban too.

My vehicle's dash has developed a crack on top of the instrument panel consistent with the many other complaints. Leads to the failure of the dash compromising the safety of passengers should airbags deploy. In an accident, plastic shards are more likely to injure passengers. The vehicle is always kept in the garage. It is not a commuter vehicle used for work that sits in the sun all day long. It is a vehicle used for traveling. When outside, we have a quality sunshade that is used. I have a ten year old truck and the dash looks perfect. In no way can this be expected to be normal and it concerns me that our safety could be compromised.

I have a crack on the instrument side on dashboard like I have seen several other people have in the exact same spot. The whole dash is brittle and from what ive seen it will start cracking by the airbag system.

problem #5

Jul 012016

Suburban

  • 68,000 miles
Dashboard crack appeared at around 68,000 miles. No collisions or any other obvious cause. I believe GM has not fixed this issue that has plagued other GM vehicles and I believe GM knows it is faulty because they offered to fix it at half price. I fully expect to see more cracks show up and I'm concerned that an airbag deployment may cause the brittle dash to exolode.I refused the repair because this is an ongoing problem and there is no evidence GM repairs fix the problem long term. This vehicle was certified pre owned by a GM dealer when I purchased it.

- Mobile, AL, USA

problem #4

Suburban

  • 36,000 miles
This is the third Suburban I have owned in the last 7 years. I have owned a 2008, 2011 and now a 2013. They have all had the same problem. The dash board cracks at the left top corner of the passenger airbag. I am afraid that if the air bag goes off the dash may separate into pieces becoming flying objects. In my current 2013 vehicle the dash has also started to crack on the dash panel on the drivers side.

- Davie, FL, USA
