2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED WITHOUT ANY INTERVENING EVENT. ONE CRACK ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD IS DIRECTLY ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I'M AFRAID IF AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES OR POSSIBLY INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG OPERATION. ANOTHER CRACK ON TOP OF DASHBOARD IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENTATION CLUSTER IS MORE THAN 5.5 TO 6 INCHES LONG.

DASH COVER CRACKS PRESENT A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF CRASH/COLLISION WITH OR WITHOUT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT DUE TO SHARP FLYING DEBRIS. DASH IS CONSTRUCTED OF HARD PLASTIC THAT FRACTURES IN NORMAL USE/WEAR WHICH RESULTS SHARP AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROJECTILES.

CRACKED DASHBOARD ADJACENT TO AIRBAG. THIS COULD CAUSE A HAZARD WHEN/IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED.

TOP OF DASH BOARD CRACKED AND BROKE, I AM AFRAID THAT THIS MY EFFECT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE AIR BAGS.

CRACKED DASH AT AIRBAG AND ABOVE STEERING. DEALER WILL REPAIR VIA AN EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN THE AUTO WAS NEW.

I WAS DRIVING ON A NICELY PAVED ROAD (NO BOMBS, POTHOLES, ETC...) WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASHBOARD CRACKED! IT IS NOW RATTLING AND JIGGLING AND CAUSES A DISTRACTION TO MY LINE OF SIGHT AS I'M DRIVING. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY THE WHOLE AMOUNT OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM CHEVROLET ABOUT WHEN/HOW THEY WILL FIX THIS DEFECT. NEED HELP PLEASE. THANK YOU. *TR
