THE DASH ON MY 2008 SUBURBAN CRACKED AT AROUND 70,000 MILES, IN 2012. I REPORTED IT THEN TO BOTH MY DEALER AND GM. THEY CALLED THIS A COSMETIC ISSUE AND THAT THEY WERE CLEARLY NOT RESPONSIBLE, HOWEVER, MANY MANY OTHER SUBURBANS, TAHOES, SLIVERADOS, AND TRUCKS HAVE THE VERY SAME ISSUE AND AT EXACTLY THE SAME SPOTS AROUND THE AIRBAG. THE CRACKS ARE AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, SUCH THAT, IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, SHARP PLASTIC SHRAPNEL WOULD FLY INTO THE PASSENGER'S FACE. THIS IS A DEADLY SAFETY CONCERN THAT I TAKE EXTREMELY SERIOUS, SUCH THAT THE SITUATION BECOMES GM IS LITERALLY AND DIRECTLY THREATENING THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PICTURES ARE ATTACHED WHICH SHOW THE SAFETY DEFECT ADJACENT TO THE AIRBAG. PLEASE HELP PUSH GM WITH ADDRESSING THIS SERIOUS DEFICIENCY.

"TAKATA INFLATORS" AND DASHBOARD CRACKS. I HAVE MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WHICH GM IS FULLY AWARE OF, AND AVOIDS THE TOPIC WITH EVERY CALL PLACED WITH THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. NOW THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATORS TO RUPTURE ALONG WITH FRAGMENTED DASHBOARD PARTS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE PRIMARY CRACK(S) ARE LOCATED RIGHT AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LOCATION. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH ABOUT THE SAFETY CONCERNS I HAVE AND THE LACK OF ATTENTION THAT GM HAS GIVEN REGARDING THE CRACKS AND NOW THE AIRBAGS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2008 SUBURBAN ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO DEVELOPED 2 CRACKS ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND ONE ON THE LEFT SIDE BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOY'S IN AN ACCIDENT, MY ENTIRE DASH BOARD WILL BECOME SMALL PROJECTILES CAUSING INJURY TO MYSELF OR ONE OF MY KIDS. THERE ARE ALREADY CLASS ACTION SUITS ON THESE AND SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAIN. I'M ASKING FOR THE NHTSA TO FORCE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OVER THIS. THERE IS NO REASON TO RISKS ONE'S LIFE BECAUSE A MULITA-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WHO KNOWS THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WON'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS IS AMERICA, NOT SOME 3RD WORLD COUNTRY WITH NO REGULATIONS SO I ASK YOU PERFORM YOUR DUTIES AND FORCE A RECALL BY GM. THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH ADMITTED THERE IS AN ISSUE BY OFFERING CUSTOMERS TO FIX IT FOR FREE UP TO $1000.00 WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED.

BEGAN NOTICING LARGE CRACKS ON DASHBOARD, WHICH HAS CAUSED THE ENTIRE FRONT INSTRUMENT PANEL TO SHIFT. PANEL NOW SAGS 1/4" LOWER ON RIGHT SIDE. CRACKS ARE ALSO SURROUNDING AIRBAG LOCATIONS. SHOULD AIRBAGS DEPLOY, THE PLASTIC COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS (IE, SHRAPNEL) ALSO, ELECTRIC LIFT-GATE HAS FAILED TWICE, FALLING WHILE I AM UNDERNEATH IT. I WAS NOT INJURED. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN BOTH INSTANCES OF THE CRACKS AND THE FAILED LIFT-GATE.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON THE UPPER LEFT CORNER HAS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD COMPARTMENT. I NOTICED IT THIS PAST WEEKEND & IT CONCERNS ME SINCE IT IS WHERE THE AIRBAG IS.

I'M AM BRINGING UP A SAFETY CONCERN IN MY VEHICLE PERTAINING TO THE AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I OWN A 2008 SUBURBAN AND RECENTLY THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED RIGHT NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I HAVE CALLED THE CHEVROLET CORPORATE TO VOICE MY CONCERNS AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM REALLY CONCERNED IF MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS EVER DEPLOYS IT WILL CAUSE THE DASH BOARD TO BECOME A PROJECTILE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND THIS IS THE SECOND CHEVROLET THAT I HAVE OWNED THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME PLACE. THE FIRST VEHICLE WAS A 07 CHEVROLET TAHOE, WHICH CHEVROLET/GM FULLY REPAIRED. I HAD TO TRADE MY 07 TAHOE BECAUSE MY FAMILY GOT BIGGER AND GOT THE SUBURBAN NOW IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING. I AM REALLY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHER FAMILY'S WHO OWN A CHEVROLET WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM.
