My transmission when taking off fast sound like it's in neutral and then when I let off the fast it goes in gear. Also my dash board is cracking and found be a serious airbag issue. I've seen hundreds of complaints about this and a recall hasn't been issued. The recall needs to be issued so I could be fixed asap. This is a serious hazard.!!!

The dashboard is cracked beyond repair. It is cracked in decal different areas. This seems to be a safety issue. Would hate to get into an accident and airbags shoot plastic pieces of dash throughout the vehicle. Cracks appear while driving as well as after sitting.

- Cordova, TN, USA
Beginning of December 2015, noticed a dash crack over instrument panel behind steering wheel. Also small crack by passenger air bag. Contacted and took to ray Chevrolet. I expressed concern about crack by airbag--was told by service manager that it was probably not a safety issue and the amount that I had to pay was determined by a formula by GM. GM said there is a formula but local dealer has leeway on price. First offer was $320; second offer by dealer $200. GM says they can't help. Noticed on the internet, lots of complaints about this very issue. Crack by dash appears to be getting larger. Car is in excellent condition and has been well cared for. 57,000 miles.
