DASH HAS CRACKED NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG, HEARD A LOUD POP WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE THEN NOTICED THE CRACK, POOR QUALITY PLASTIC OR OTHER ISSUE IS OCCURRING TO THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES, HOW LONG BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE IT GETS INVESTIGATED

THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIRBAG CUTOUT IS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED THERE WILL BE PICTURES OF DASH BOARD SHARDS FIYING THROUGH THE AIR AND POSSIBLY INTO THE OCCUPANTS WITH FORCE FROM THE AIRBAG.

PAINT IS CHIPPING AND PEELING ALONG UPPER WINDSHIELD. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ROCKS OR HAIL OR ANY OTHER REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. A FLAKE CAME OFF ONE DAY AND AS TIME WENT BY I BEGAN TO NOTICE MORE AREAS. UPON A GOOGLE SEARCH OF CHEVY FORUMS I FIND THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON ISSUE, RIGHT DOWN TO THE SPECIFIC YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND AREA OF DAMAGE.

TWICE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED UN-COMMANDED RAPID ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ACCELERATION BACK UNDER CONTROL BY PRESSING AND HOLDING THE BRAKES. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE SAME LOCATION, I'M GUESSING IT IS SOME SORT OF RADIO SIGNAL INTERFERENCE.
