I previously filed a report concerning the dashboard cracking in 2 spots. On the passenger side the crack is at the top left corner of where the airbag sits. This has been brought to GM's attention they've fought replacing these dashboards. Now you have issued a recall on the airbags. How are they to be repaired correctly and made safe when the plastic seated around them is cracked and defective thus leaving us still exposed to shattered plastic from a defective dashboard. The dashboard replacement should also be part of the recall!

Dashboard has cracked in two places. It is an expensive repair that Chevy will not stand behind. In the event of airbag deployment small pieces of plastic could fly and injure occupants.

The dash is cracking like so many others of this model. My Suburban has always been garage or carport kept and there is no reason the dash should be cracking.

The dash has cracked in 2 places - above the instrument panel and above the passenger side air bag. The potential for flying shards from the dash into persons after deployment of the passenger air bag is high. I request a recall to correct. My wife's 8 year old Toyota sienna's dash was recalled for the same reason.

The dashboard has cracked right next to airbag on passenger side. No accident involved. Unknown when it occurred (aka while driving or stationary). It occurred in the last week. If airbag deploys shards of plastic may become shrapnel. This vehicle only has 39K miles on

Vehicle dash crached while driving, making quite a loud noise like a pop. Then the dash cracked across the right side. Previously owned 2008 Suburban with a lot more cracking than this one but this one just started. The 2008 Suburban actually broke into chips and would blow across a persons face while driving. I repaired it through a paint and body shop at cost of nearly $1,350 dollars. These dash problems are in most of Suburban and Tahoe and a very serious danger to people driving these vehicles and G.M. has not stepped up and recalled/repaired them. When someone gets a serious injury or lose an eye then maybe they will repair them but this will not return an eye, arm, leg or life due to this not repairing them.

The dashboard near the passenger side airbag has split/cracked. I am concerned that it could comprise the deployment of the airbag in an accident given the location of the crack. The vehicle was less then 2 years old when the cracking began, but Chevrolet would not investigate the integrity of the airbag without me incurring a cost due to being slightly past the 36K mile warranty. Upon some simple internet searching, it seems this is cracking is a common occurrence for owners of these trucks. But, no one seems to know if it will compromise the airbag deployment. I know I would prefer to not find that out in an accident and believe Chevrolet should take accountability.

The dashboard is start cracking all over, and it is getting worst by day. Please let me know what can I do to fix this matter.

The left driver's side exterior mirror is restricted in its upward movement and will not move high enough to enable safe viewing of the blind side on the left of the car. The mirror is obstructed by the frame of the mirror assembly so it won't pivot into the frame to give a higher view.
