    My dash has cracked. One day i just got in my truck and noticed the dash had a small crack in the plastic. The crack has since multiplied to multiple cracks. It has happened not even driving my truck. I am afraid that since the crack is near my airbag that it will send shrapnel thruout the cab and cause serious injury.

    Multiple cracks in dashboard top including dash cracks near passenger airbag. One crack appeared, then more cracks soon followed. Sent letters to gm executives who replied back that age and mileage of truck was too far outside warranty. No consolation offered except a minor credit toward new vehicle purchase. Truck is meticulously maintained and cracks pose safety concern during potential airbag deployment.

    The dash on my truck has cracked by the passenger airbag and also by the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Online forums prove that gmt900 vehicles (tahoe, suburban, yukon, silverado, sierra) have this issue. It is time that gm starts a recall for their defective dash design. In the event of a wreck and air bag deployment the broken dash could easily send plastic fragments throughout the cabin.

    The parking brake light turns on randomly, when just starting the vehicle, when just sitting in the parkinglot before moving, while driving, but mainly while slowing down....while using the brakes. I have taken it to the dealership 4 or 5 times now, and they cant reproduce the problem in their shop, so they dont know how to fix it. It is getting worse now. Flashing and dinging when slowing down on the highway, or…
