The dashboard on the passenger side of the vehicle, top left corner where the airbag sits is cracked!
- Manalapan, NJ, USA
The dashboard has developed a crack at the corner of the airbag on the passenger side. Normally I wouldn't think this is a recall issue but I personally know of at least three other people who have experienced the same exact crack at the same exact location on their dashboard. I have done some research on the issue and it seems as though this is a widespread problem with the 2007-2011 Silverado and Tahoe vehicles from Chevrolet.

To your company offering to put a used engine in a used vehicle. Then purchasing a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and having numerous electrical issues. You had asked me to give your dealership a second chance to correct the problem with my 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. With the amount of unprofessional demeanor that I experienced prior I decided to give your company a second chance to rectify the problem.

2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. The passenger side dash board is cracked. The truck only had 40000 miles on it when the dash cracked. I contacted GM about this problem, with no luck to get them to recall this problem. In the event the air bag deploying pieces of the dash will come apart and go flying everwhere!!
- Springfield, TN, USA
This is the second dash board that has cracked by the air bag and above the instrument panel. The first was covered under the factory warranty and now its out of warranty. I worry that having a dash that is coming a part will blow apart if the air bag goes off after all the airbag cover is also the same plastic..this is a safety issue and GM needs to take care of it. What will happen if you get into a accident and the dash come a part.
- Bradenton, FL, USA
Dashboard cracking right in front of driver on top of speedometer. There are 2 cracks. I am concerned that if the air bags deploy, the sharp broken plastic, can become shrapnel, and a secondary danger from puncture wounds. This vehicle is a 2011, well cared for and has less than 18K miles
- South Amboy, NJ, USA
Dashboard is cracking in two places. Cracks are approximately 2 inches in length and have sharp edges. Concerned sharp edges could cause negative impact during an impact that causes airbag deployment.

I was driving into the parking garage at work to a parking spot. As I braked and slowed turning into the parking spot the truck accelerated and crashed into a concrete support beam. Airbags deployed and the truck suffered quite a bit of damages to the passenger side front end. I am unsure of speed at time of accident.
