DASHBOARD CRACKS AROUND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. MY DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK A COUPLE OR YEARS AGO AND IS NOW CRACKED ALL OVER. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TRIED TO STOP THE CRACKS IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND IT JUST CONTINUES. GMC SHOULD RESPOND AND CHANGE THE DASHBOARD OF THESE VEHICLES. I ASKED THE DEALER IN THE LAST INSPECTION FOR THE REPAR. IT IS CLOSE TO 1300 DOLLARS AND GMC DOES NOT RESPOND. CLEARLY THIS IS A QUALITY ISSUE
