DEFECT CAUSED DASH TO CRACK AT THE PASSANGER AIRBAG, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY CHILDREN BEING INJURED FROM THE CRACKED DASH AS WELL AS THE SHARDS FLYING AND INJURING MY CHILD IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT.

DASHBOARD CRACKED BY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. SPONTANEOUS CRACK WITH NO EXTERNAL CAUSE. IT WAS NOT A HOT DAY. STATIONARY VEHICLE.

THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG AND STEERING/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS SEVERELY CRACKED AND BROKEN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THE DASHBOARD PIECES BECOME SHARDS OF SHRAPNEL PROPELLED BY THE AIRBAG AND/OR IMPACT OF THE CRASH. THERE HAVE BEEN NO WRECKS, MODIFICATIONS, OR ANY OTHER ACTIONS THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS DAMAGE - IT IS THE RESULT OF FAULTY PRODUCTION.

THE DASH BOARD NEAR THE STEERING COLUMN JUST CRACKED AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR DRIVERSIDE FRONT DOOR. BOTH PIECES APPEAR TO BE CHEAP PLASTIC. I HAVE RECEIVED A QUOTE FOR $1600 TO FIX THE DOOR AND $1000 TO FIX THE DASH WHEN THESE ARE BOTH DEFECT FROM GM.

THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT WILL NOT LOCK. THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO WEAR A SEATBELT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME.
