My chevy cracked dash.
Cracked dashboard keeps geting worse, service airbags lights now on. Ive had nummerous service suspension issues and had already fixed a thrttle tps sensor tat left me stranded on a day it was 0 degrees outside get gm accountable!!!
My transmission when taking off fast sound like it's in neutral and then when I let off the fast it goes in gear. Also my dash board is cracking and found be a serious airbag issue. I've seen hundreds of complaints about this and a recall hasn't been issued. The recall needs to be issued so I could be fixed asap. This is a serious hazard.!!!

Interior door handle (driver's side) chrome overlay peeled 2010 chevy avalanche lt. Owner opened door and cut finger on handle release when it was lifted up as car was parked in a parking lot. It is razor sharp. Gm was contacted and would not pay for door handle to be fixed despite injury directly resulting from faulty door handle. Vehicle has approximately 91,500 miles. With further inspection chrome overlay surrounding temp control also has peeling noted and is also very sharp.
During the calendar year 2016, I have experienced two(2) severe dashboard cracks. One crack in front of my instrument cluster occurred while driving as I heard it "crack". The other crack appeared on the passenger side above the air bag panel. I am not sure when this crack appeared, but concerns me relative to the air bag operation/safety. I have drilled holes at the end of the crack on the driver side in an attempt to stop the progression, but the crack continues to get larger. The dash apparently is becoming brittle and the cracks are continuing to grow. I can only assume that soon I will have pieces of the dash come off exposing electrical wiring and components below the dash. Due to the safety concerns and appearance aspects, I am having the dash replaced by my dealership at a cost to me of almost $1,000. I have seen many complaints of this component defect on the internet, and am surprised that gm does not issue a recall.
The dashboard is cracked beyond repair. It is cracked in decal different areas. This seems to be a safety issue. Would hate to get into an accident and airbags shoot plastic pieces of dash throughout the vehicle. Cracks appear while driving as well as after sitting.
