I was making a left turn at an intersection when another vehicle slammed into my truck head on. My air bags did not even deploy. Although my vehicle was the larger of the two, I expected the bags to do their intended job, but they failed to do so. This was one year after the recall and general motors still don't have a remedy for the air bags

The interior dash is cracking. The cracks are severe around the airbag and instrument cluster. Based on my research, this is a problem with thousands of chevy vehicles 2007-2013. The cracks around the airbags are a definate safety hazard if the airbags deploy. Sharp plastic pieces of the dash could act as projectiles. This appears to be a design problem with chevy's dash.

The dash around the airbag is cracked. This is very common on 2007-2013 gm vehicles. It is clearly a manufacturers defect, considering nine times out of ten they are broken. The dash is cracked to the point where if the airbag went off, I would not feel safe, in fear of shrapnel coming from the dash being in front of the inflating air bags. Local dealer offered no fix, aside from an over $1,000 out of pocket repair. This is unacceptable.
