DASH CRACKED BY AIR BAG HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP 1 DASH MAYBE A DEFECT BUT 2 DASH IS DEFINETLY AN ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD NEAR THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COULD INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V388000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE DASH IS SLIT FROM THE AIRBAG MODULE INSERT TO THE FRONT VENT WHICH WILL CAUSE THE DASH TO FRACTURE IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT RESULTING IN HIGH SPEED SHARDS BEING PROPELLED INTO THE CABIN.

DASHBOARD CRACK. ON BOTH SIDES OF THE THE DEFROST, LEADING BACK TO AIR BAG CUT OUT AND TO HOOD FOR MAIN INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES KEEP CUTTING PEOPLE BECAUSE THE CHROME COVERING IS PEELING UP AND THE EDGES OF IT ARE VERY SHARP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE ARE GETTING INTO OR OUT OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 60K MILES ON IT. DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE.
