Cracked chevrolet dash flaps when windows rolled down creating visible distraction very similar to attached picture chevrolet knows this is an ongoing issue for their 2007-2014 models and apparently won't do anything unless compelled to by a regulatory body. If I get into an accident I will make sure to advise of what caused the distraction. This is not only an eyesore but it is also incredibly dangerous. Who makes new vehicles with all the emissions standards and then skimps on the dash? This is such a problem there is a facebook group with 6,825 members and you can do find it by searching.

Takata recall
Dashboard has developed cracks in multiple locations. One is located by the passenger air bag. Another is located near the driver side instrument cluster. The one near the airbag is particularly worrisome. In the event that the airbag was to deploy, jagged pieces of plastic could puncture the airbag or be propelled at the vehicle occupants. The vehicle was not involved in any type of accident or crash. These cracks in the dashboard simply appeared over time and appear to be very common among chevy trucks in the model years of 2007-2013. I checked online and there are thousands of internet posts/forums discussing this problem. Gm should be held accountable for fixing this defect.

Takata recall # 16v381. I bought this chevy new and was driving to louisiana. My mileage at the time was 35,955 miles. The red colored seat belt light came on. I was to close to the 36,000 mile mark for warranty coverage to make it to shreveport, la. So I have been driving this truck with the light on. I have asked dealerships if they see the problem, but was asked for a commitment for unknown amounts of money to check and repair this problem. Thank the lord I have not been in an accident with this condition. I want to know if this has been the case with other models as mine. I have a second problem with the engine an transmission. The transmission went out at about 92,000 miles and had to be replaced. Lastly the yellow check engine light has been on. I have spent several thousand to fix this. Even at dealership. I would leave and the light would return. Sometimes I had only driven a mile. I have had other mechanics check it out and it appears I have a lifter problem on my number two cylinder causing intermittent misfires to occur. Is this also a problem with my model?
