DASH COVER. FIRST OFF THE DASH IS CRACKING LIKE SO MANY OTHERS. THE PIECES ARE GETTING SHARP AS IT IS THICK PLASTIC. I CUT MY HAND ON IT JUST DUSTING IT. THE PARTS THAT ARE CRACKED ARE RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACKS HAVE GROWN THE WIDTH OF THE COVER. THESE CRACKS OCCUR FREQUENTLY IN MOTION OR NOT IN MOTION. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE HEAT AND BUMPS BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAGS GO OFF THOSE PIECES OF THE DASH COULD FLY AND BREAK OFF LIKE NOTHING AND HURT SOMEONE EVEN WORSE IN THAT TYPE OF SITUATION. THE PHOTO PROVIDED IS JUST TWO OF THE FOUR LOCATED ON THE DASH.

WE HAVE A 2007 SUBURBAN WITH THE 5.3L ENGINE. AFTER, MUCH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, MY WIFE AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE EVIDENTLY IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE AFM LIFTERS. OUR VEHICLE DOES HAVE MILES, BUT SINCE THIS EVIDENTLY IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, WE DID THINK CHEVROLET WOULD AT LEAST OFFER SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. A LIFTER COLLAPSED AND THE COST TO REPLACE THE LIFTERS IS $3,500.00, PLUS TAX AT TOM GILL CHEVROLET IN FLORENCE, KY. I DON'T BLAME THE DEALER FOR THIS, BUT CHEVROLET HAS REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR MANY, MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO BETTER PROTECT THE CONSUMER.
