MY DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE STEERING COLUMN.

THE DASH IN MY 2013 SILVERADO IS CRACKING, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IF I WAS TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYED AIRBAGS.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING LEADING TO RISK OF FLYING PLASTIC SHARDS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT ON CHEVY TRUCKS OF THIS MODEL YEAR AND SIMILAR DESIGN MODEL YEARS.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES, POTENTIALLY REPRESENTING A SAFETY THREAT IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYS.

I HAVE A CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. ONE OF WHICH IS BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, WHICH IF WAS INFLATED WOULD SEND PLASTIC DASHBOARD PIECES INTO THE PASSENGER FACE, DUE TO THE BRITTLENESS OF THE PLASTIC THAT CRACKS WHEN TOUCHED. THERE IS ANOTHER CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE DASH, WHICH IS BRITTLE TO THE TOUCH. GM REFUSES TO FIX FOR FREE, EVEN KNOWING THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FAULTY PLASTIC DASHBOARD CONTINUES TO GET WORSE, AS GM HAS INSTALLED THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS IN THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES.

I HAVE FOUND CRACKS IN THE DASH DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE SUPPORT BRACES FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, IN CASE OF DEPLOYMENT THE SHARDS OF BROKEN PLASTIC CAN IMPALE INTO AN INDIVIDUAL CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH

TAKATA RECALL THIS VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY SHOWN AIRBAG REQUIRES SERVICING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE WARNING HAS BEEN LOOKED AT REPEATEDLY AND I AM TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. HOWEVER THE WARNING PERSISTS. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL BUT THAT LETTER WAS MISPLACED WHILE ASKING ABOUT THE CONSTANT WARNING. THE TAKATA SITE SAYS THE 2007-2013 CHEVY SILVERADO IS BEING RECALLED FOR THE EXPLOSIVE BAG. I AM VERY AFRAID OF AN AIRBAG PROBLEM BUT THIS WARNING STILL PERSISTS. DO I HAVE TO HAVE A DEADLY ACCIDENT WITH THE AIRBAG TO PROVE MY POINT?
