2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED FROM FRONT TO CORNER OF AIRBAG COVER AND MIDDLE FRONT TO DASH BOARD. WILL THIS AFFECT THE AIR BAG UPON DEPLOYMENT?

THE DASH RIGHT NEXT TO THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS CRACKED AND LOOKS LIKE IT COULD EFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG IN CASE OF DEPLOYMENT. THE CRACK BECAME WORSE AFTER HAVING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED RECENTLY AS PART OF A DIFFERENT RECALL. ADDITIONAL CRACKS HAVE APPEARED IN OTHER PLACES ON THE DASH SINCE THE CRACK BY THE AIRBAG FIRST APPEARED.

AS MANY OTHER 07-11 MODEL GMC AND CHEVROLET VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED, MY DASH HAS ALSO CRACKED IN TWO PLACES ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET 2500HD LTZ. MY DASH CRACKED ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. NOW THE CRACKS ARE GETTING LONGER AND AFFECTING OTHER DASH PANELS AND MAKING ANNOYING RATTLE NOISES. GMC AND CHEVROLET ARE OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND ARE TRYING TO PAWN IT OFF ON OWNER IRRESPONSIBILITY WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS DEFECT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I SEE IT. IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG GOES OFF IT CAN SEND SHARDS OF BROKEN PLASTIC DASHBOARD THROUGH THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK CAUSING OCCUPANT INJURY. GMC AND CHEVROLET NEED TO REALIZE THIS AND OFFER A RECALL TO CORRECT THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THEY WILL WISH THEY DID WHEN IT HAPPENS. GMC AND CHEVROLET SURE HAVE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE WHEN YOU ARE PURCHASING ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THE MOMENT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM AND NEED THEIR HELP THEY ARE QUICK TO GIVE YOU THE RUN-AROUND AND TELL YOU THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP YOU. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC OR CHEVROLET AGAIN.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO MY TRUCK HEAD ON. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT EVEN DEPLOY. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS THE LARGER OF THE TWO, I EXPECTED THE BAGS TO DO THEIR INTENDED JOB, BUT THEY FAILED TO DO SO. THIS WAS ONE YEAR AFTER THE RECALL AND GENERAL MOTORS STILL DON'T HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE AIR BAGS
