THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND FLEXES LARGE AMOUNTS DURING NORMAL IN TOWN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE ARE SHARP EDGES THAT CONCERN ME IF WE WERE INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND NEVER ABUSED IN ANY WAY. THE CRACKS CONTINUE TO WORSEN AND ARE APPARENTLY FROM THE LACK OF REINFORCEMENT OR MATERIALS DEFECT IN THE DASH ITSELF BUT THE DIRECT CAUSE IS UNKNOWN TO ME.

IT IS A KNOW ISSUE THE ANY GM FROM 2007-2013 HAVE ISSUES IN THE DASHBOARD GETTING CRACKED. MINE IS A 2009 CHEVY AVALANCHE AND MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT TO GET THE CUSTOMERS TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.
