I have this car since 2018. The dashboard of this car was in good condition however in the last few months we have see cracks developing near the airbag and the driver steering wheel. These are deep cracks. The car was 100% parked inside the garage. We are concerned if the airbag function will be impacted due to this cracks
The Side area bags are Deployed a The vehicle is parked an not be operated. It wasn-??t involved in any collision, The front Dash board airbags & steering wheel air bags aren-??t Deployed an are in tact-??.there is No Body Damged or The Vehicle was Parked Not Being Operated for Over a month I Don-??t understand How The Side air bags Have ruptured without any Cause That is Very Big Danger to My self an Family-??There is No warning Lamps On Or Check Engine Light activated,
The dash board is completely falling apart. There are now 5 cracks and I am afraid that this could be a very dangerous situation. Apparently, there are many trucks like mine that have the same problem, but no action has been taken.
Dash continues to crack. Worried about integrity of dash in the event of accident due to placement of the passenger airbag. GM just recalled passenger airbag due to 'shrapnel' which could also be part of the dash exploding. Furthermore, only option is to add a 'glue on' cover to build quality to oem, but has possibility to cover passenger air bag or make recall of airbag not possible (or other repairs possible). GM should offer dash replacement as a recall along with passenger airbag.

The dash on the vehicle has cracked at the passenger air bag cover. Also cracked above the speedometer. Concern is there may be humidity ingress to the airbag, the electronics or sub assemblies increasing the risk for an airbag deployment anomaly. Another concern is plastic or metal from the dash could also impact the airbag (deflation) or present injury to the occupants (flying parts). A lesser concern is the sensors for the automated ac/heating systems in the car. Believing they are calibrated with sealed intact components. The larger split at the speedometer has only recently happened which makes this a concern that there are larger more underpinning issues not fully realized.
The dash is cracked in 2 places near the passenger dash airbag and directly up the dash where the speedometer is located. I'm concerned this could be a safety issue in the event of an accident.

Dash board above steering wheel well to wind shield and passenger side air bag panel is cracking and continues to grow in both directions. Vehicle was purchased this way and others of this year have the same issues.
Like everyone else I have spoken to with 2007-2013 year model Chevrolet vehicles my dashboard is cracked because of a design flaw. I am worried that my passenger side air bag will not work correctly because of the crack. I have contacted GM for help but they offer nothing. The crack has gotten worse over the years and is now really bad. GM is pitiful
Dash is cracking in several places, including around passenger air bag and top of instrument panel in front of driver, causing possible unsafe conditions in a collision. Cracks occured under normal driving conditions and dash was not subjected to any physical abuse.
