Dashboard cracks - the vehicles dashboard has several extensive cracks. This started occurring in 2011 and has gotten worse over the years. Now a section has completely broken off. The dealers refuse to address this.
Cracked dashboard and spreading - my 2009 dashboard has large cracks in several places and is now exposing the electrical underneath. Not only do I find this very alarming seeing as the airbags are underneath but the problem is only getting worse, in motion or not, and the rattling sounds of all the pieces have become super annoying. GM this needs to be addressed and fixed! take care of your customers!!!!

The dashboard has cracked and repositioned itself. These cracks occurred over a period of 3 weeks until the dash repositioned itself. These cracks occurred in the normal course of driving and parking the vehicle. This repositioning is a direct result of the cracks. The passenger airbag appears to be affected by this condition posing a safety risk to any front seat passenger. These risks include improper deployment of airbag preventing proper passenger protection in a collision and pieces of the dash becoming sharp plastic projectiles if the airbag does deploy causing serious bodily injury and possibly death.
Both door handles on driver and passenger side are this silver plastic that has began to peel up just on top of the handle exactly where you grab to open the door. Myself as well several people have sliced their finger open pretty bad on my door handles. Very poor quality.
Dashboard has cracked in three places. One in corner surrounding passenger air bag. Could lead to improper airbag deployment. Others around "hump" corners above instrument cluster. Very common issue from what I have read. Vehicle garage kept. Cracks occur in same location on hundreds of Chevrolet vehicles.
There is a large crack in the dashboard running parallel with the front windshield of the car. It extends from driver side to passenger side up to the airbag on the passenger side. It also splits in two separate areas off the horizontal crack. One about 2 inches perpendicular to the large crack near the driver side and another perpendicular crack closer to the passenger side that extends 1-2 inches away from the larger crack. My car has been stored in the garage from day one. I did not notice how long ago this crack began.
Extensive cracks in dash including around and going up to front passenger side airbag placement. Fear is that if airbag deploys shards of plastic dash may be disloged and become projectiles.
