After a couple of years my vehicle developed several cracks in the dash, especially around the airbag. Yesterday I had the airbag recall performed. As a result of the repair, the cracks are now broken pieces. I now fear that in the event of an airbag deployment, shards of sharp plastic will be thrown into the air and could potentially result in severe injury.

The frame on our truck has completely begun to rust out. Gm has a tsb to repair the frames on 2011-2013 avalanches but this should extend to other model years as well as it's the same issue that gm is already aware of.
