My dash started a small crack by the passenger airbag. It's a very common issue between 07-13 GM trucks and SUVS. They seem to randomly crack I had mine crack overnight. It makes a horrible vibration sound while driving it's kind off annoying to drive now.

  • 85,000 miles
No part available for the climate control, with a mail in procedure and a 30 day turn around time. This creates a visibility hazard while driving. Inability to control the heat during colder climate while creating foggy windows and trying to travel. This is a safety hazard for the driver as well as the public! I cannot take the part out for a month because I have no idea what the weather will be like 10 minutes from now and if I did would be without for 30 days and not have the ability to clear a foggy windshield!
