I WORK IN A DEALERSHIP AND PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED IN APRIL 2016. AT THE TIME IT HAD SMALL CRACKS THAT EXTENDED FROM THE DASH AIRBAGS ABOUT 1" OR SO TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACKS ARE NOW QUITE LARGE. IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY, THE PLASTIC FROM THE DASH WOULD ALSO BECOME AIRBORNE. THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN TO MYSELF WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS ANYONE WHO MAY SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT, INCLUDING MY GRANDCHILDREN. THESE CRACKS ARE NOW ABOUT 1/4" IN WIDTH AND ABOUT 3" LONG AND EXTEND FROM THE EDGE OF THE AIRBAG AND END AT THE DEFOGGER VENTS UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT AS WELL. IT WOULD BE TO GM'S ADVANTAGE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS NOW, RATHER THAN WAIT UNTIL THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS. I WILL FORWARD PICTURES IF YOU REQUEST. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED GM, DEALERSHIPS AS GM TOLD ME AND NOW HERE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITH THIS CURRENT SITUATION AND NO FIX FOR THIS MAKE OF VEHICLES. I'M REQUESTING SOME BETTER ANSWER OTHER THAN "DON'T PUT A PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT" OR "DISENGAGE THE AIRBAG". I WOULD LIKE EITHER MY VEHICLE TO BE OUT OF MY HANDS FREE AND CLEAR OR SOME OTHER SOLUTION NOT PUTTING ME IN ANY MORE OF AN INCONVENIENCE. THIS IS A SEVERE ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN MANY PROBLEMS. THERE ARE NO PHOTOS OR MORE DETAILS AS A CONSUMER WE CAN NOT VIEW THE AIRBAG. I LIVE IN TEXAS WHERE CONDITIONS ARE HOT AND HUMID IN WHICH THE RECALL SPECIFICALLY STATES IS MORE OF A CAUSE FOR THE DETERIORATION. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION, AND DOING NOTHING IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. AT THIS TIME THERE HAS BEEN NO COLLISION OR ISSUES, BUT AT THE POINT THERE MAY BE IT WILL BE TOO LATE.

DASH IS CRACKED BESIDE PASSENGER AIRBAG. GM STATED THAT NOBODY HAS DIED YET, SO THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THE DASH IS BRITTLE AND CRACKING MORE EVERY DAY. WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, I AM TERRIFIED THAT DASH SHRAPNEL WILL BE THROWN INTO MY CHILDREN'S FACES. THE CRACK OCCURRED OVERNIGHT, WHEN THE CAR WAS GARAGE KEPT.

NOTICED HUGE CRACK IN DASH FOR NO APPARENT REASON. COMMON ISSUE ON 2007-2013 VEHICLES I'M FINDING OUT. CONCERNED WITH DANGER OF PLASTIC SHARDS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY IF AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED. VEHICLE HAD NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT AND HAS LOW MILAGE AND KEPT UP WELL. GM HAS OFFERED LITTLE HELP.

DASH CRACKED ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE OF AIRBAG NOT BEING HELD IN PROPERLY NOW, OR SHARP CORNER OF CRACKED DASH CUTTING PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF A POSSIBLE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
