Cracked dash by passenger airbag! If i was to get in an accident and my passenger airbag goes off my passenger is most likely going to be hit with cracked dash pieces as well.

Body · Electrical System · Exterior Lighting
Persistent burning of headlight bulbs. Numerous headlight bulb changes, wiring changed, housing changed, and light continues to burn out. Numerous owners of this year and model reporting the same occurrence. Very time consuming, costly, and irritating especially when cops become involved and hand out tickets.

My 2010 gmc sierra has 47,000 miles on it, primarily sits in a temperature controlled garage, and has 3 cracks in the dash. Two of the cracks happned while sitting stationary in the garage. Two of the cracks are connected to the air bag creating a hazard. Gmc nor the dealer will take care of this considering a lot of complaints by other owners.

The dashboard cracked around the passenger airbag as well as the steering wheel for no reason...worried that if the airbag goes off the dash will break apart and causing injuries. 3 of us at work that own a gmc/chevy product in this age range has the same cracks in the same places. My dash cracked overnight while sitting in a garage. The air temps were in the 60's so could not be because of heat or cold. The repair…

Body
Dash cracked under warranty and was replaced immediately by the dealer (howard bentley in albertville,al). Replacement dash has cracked again. My concern is this is a known issue with certain gm models and in the event of a crash the pieces of compromised dash will become a projectile inside the vehicle.
