The dash IS cracking in multiple locations which if the airbags were to deploy could send shards of plastic flying through the passenger compartment creating a safety hazard. This has been occurring for some time but IS continuing to get worse, and we have recently noticed that it has broken all the way across one of the dash panels. I have looked online and this appears to be a issue with many chevrolet vehicles.

Dashboard cracked in 2 spots, 1 next to the passenger side airbag possibly corrupting the deployment of the air bag

Cam lifters going bad on 2010 chevy (suburban). was noticing on internet several vehicles between the year 2010-2013 have been having problems with this. started off as the stability tracking which I shelled out $700 to the dealer. came back the next day to the dealer to find out it was cam lifter and the bill was going to be $5,000. chevy acknowledged their IS a problem and was only willing to pay 70% of the bill. I would like to ask for a recall on this part by chevrolet if it IS a known problem and they are willing to pay partial. it was too dangerous for a family to be driving and the vehicle loses power causing it to slow and jerk. God forbid this happens to someone on the freeway and they are rear ended causing an accident with injuries or fatality.

Takata recall, just like everyone else, gm IS not able or willing to replace the takata inflators which brings me to the cracked dashboards. mine IS badly cracked including where the airbag would come out, which really worries me if my grandkids are in the passenger seat and there IS a collision. I pray that does not happen.

On mother's day I was driving my 2010 chevy suburban with 92K miles on it. when I was leaving the car wash I accelerated on the gas to get onto hwy 29. as soon as I got unto hwy 29 a car switched from the left lane to cross over in front of my vehicle to get on to the on ramp for hwy 37 east. I pressed the brake to ensure I wouldn't hit him. however, when I pressed the brake the SUV was still accelerating. so I looked down to see if the gas peddle was stuck under the mat. it wasn't. so pressed the brake harder. the SUV was still accelerating. I then put the SUV in neutral, but IS was still accelerating all the while keeping my foot firmly pressed on the brake. so I moved the gear shift into the manual position. once moved into the manual position the dash read M2 which represents second gear. so I quickly took my foot off the brake, gave it gas, quickly shifted back into neutral while hitting the brake and then into drive. the engine revved real loud and then the brake starting working again and accelerator was normal. my vehicle was towed to team chevrolet in vallejo & a case was opened with gm. I have been getting the run around with both and mostly recently was told a lie from the gm representative. *tr

Dash IS cracked in 6 different spots; 3 of the cracks being around the passenger air bag. If the airbag were to deploy, the dash would shatter thus causing sharp projectiles to be dispensed in the vehicle cabin potentially causing serious injury to the occupants. The cracks start down where the bolts connect to the body (they extend further down than what can be seen in the photos).

The dashboard has cracked in two locations, at the corner of the passenger airbag cover, and in front of the instrument column. This IS greatly concerning because it could cause the airbag to malfunction, or cause other debris from the dashboard to come loose in an accident. This IS a known issue and yet no recall has been issued. When in motion the dashboard vibrates violently because the two cracks have compromised the structural integrity and support. The vibrating also causes a significant rattle.

The dash IS cracked at the corner of the passenger airbag. this seems to be a repeated issue with gm and IS clearly a defect when so many of their vehicles have been effected in the same place! There IS already a recall on the passenger airbag that gm isn't wanting to fix and now my dash IS cracked completely apart by the passenger airbag. How safe IS this, where IS their responsibility?

Dashboard has begun to crack in numerous areas, 1 area that IS very concerning IS right by the passenger airbag which I feel concerned that if it were to inflate the dashboard would would send projectiles flying. The dash IS also cracking severely above the instrument cluster. Upon research this IS a issue that the internet IS flooded with and gm refuses to address the problem. I contacted gm in regards to this issue and they refuse to take responsibility although at a dealethis ship when I went looking around 4 out of the 5 vehicles for sale on the lot had the same cracks in the same places. I need help from nhtsa to resolve this issue before my family IS put in danger in the event of a vehicle accident. This crack seemed to occur when the weather got cold, I turned on my heat and the desk immediately cracked. This IS flawed equipment and we as consumers should not have to deal with it.
- Air bags
Takata recall - the information available from gm on this recall IS that at this time, gm considers your vehicle safe. the fact that 11 people so far have been killed by takata airbag's tells me it IS not safe for my family to have these in our vehicle.
