I am having the same cracked dash issue every other owner is having with these gm models 2007-2014 gm trucks/suvs. I just noticed the three cracks I have, so I am not sure when exactly they started (within the last few months).
The dashboard has large cracks both in front of the instrument panel and around the airbag. This exact same problem has been reported by more than 4,000 gm truck owners. The cracking around the airbag are especially concerning, and likely pose a significant safety risk were the airbags to deploy. Gm is apparently aware of this defect and fails to take responsibility for correcting the problem.
My dash is cracked and it reflects the crack on the windshields and causes glare. If the airbag was to deploy the sharp plastic would cut you from the broken dash. This is a dangerous situation. There are thousands of people with the problem and there are groups on facebook with thousands that have this issue. Gm will not repair or replace it.
