This is a complaint about the cracks on my dash around the air bag. Over the past month they have grown and gotten worse, one is huge (about 7 inches long) and there's two more pieces in the corner about to fall out and one near the radio. I would just like GM to put a new dash in for free so I can cover it with a carpet dash and not have to worry about it. Thanks

Takata recall - it's been 3 years since I received my notice of recall on the airbags in my 2009 Silverado. Now that my truck is older this concerns me even more that no fix has been made available. I want to go on record that this is unacceptable practice and needs to be corrected asap. Also my dash on the pax side is cracked at the airbag cut out, which I've read that this is also a common problem and a huge safety issue for the rider. Please please make these parts available soon. Thank you
