The common dash crack in my 2012 Silverado with only 40K miles. I had a sunroof installed to let the heat out and my truck is clearly stored in a garage and the trucks dash still cracked. Its so bad the dash rattles when driving and im worried about the quality of plastic used on the dash that when the air bag deploys, that the dash will turn into sharp shards of plastic headed towards my passengers and I. I never expected suck a well taken care of vehicle with such low miles to have a cracked dash and [xxx] sure not a GM product. Toyota had the same issue but they fixed there issue.

My air bad light is on and my horn does not work. I called GM customer service. They said there was no recalls on my truck. She then told me I had to take my truck in to see if it has a recall. I ask her which is it, is there a recall or not? she said no recall but I had to go into service to see if there is a recall. There either is it isn't. I feel GM is trying to cover thier butts. Seems to me that they know of a problem but don't want to go public with it. I'm a 100% disabled veteran. I purchased this vehicle brand new 5 years ago, I only have 55K miles on my truck. I can't afford to pay for a problem with my truck especially if GM knows about it but refuses to own up to thier mistake.

The dash in my 2012 Silverado truck has cracked on it's own in front of the passenger side airbag. This is a known defect to consumers(just do a google search) with a safety concern that if the air is deployed, the cracked plastic could get blown off and become a deadly projectile.there is no aspect of this that can or should be considered safe.

The dash has a crack above the passenger side airbag. The crack is completely through the entire piece of plastic so it makes me concerned to drive the vehicle if it were involved in an accident I am not certain that there wouldn't be plastic flying throughout the cab of the truck. The truck has just over 60000 miles and we were told it is out of warranty therefore the estimate to repair is $1004

I noticed yesterday that the service air bag warning came on. Didn't think anything of it. Got in there this morning 7/15 and was driving down the road and it did it again. This time all of the electrical went out for a minute including the speedometer. Couldnt even turn my ac on or off. Called the dealership we got it from and they told me I was looking at a 2 week wait but I could drop it off on 7/18 and they would get to it.

Developed crack on dash where airbag is on passenger side, crack is about 6 inches long, will this effect airbag deployment?

"takata recall", I have a crack in my dash that is located right next to passenger side airbag. This is a safety hazard because my dash will continue to crack that will cause my passenger side airbag to fail when it will be needed to protect passengers that ride in my vehicle. I have done a lot of research on this topic and General Motors knows that this is happening and they won't do nothing to fix it. My vehicle was stationary in my driveway when I heard a loud pop noise which I notice that my dash had cracked.
