Dashboard is cracking in different spots, 2 places in the last few months. I'm concerned that it can possibly come apart while I'm driving. The cracks happened while driving. I know the crack next to the airbag cracked because the material is to thin to support the weight of the speaker in the dash, I'm guessing the rest of the dash is also made the same way, so any vibration or hitting any potholes is causing it to break. I have heard that this is a big problem with all of these gms and gmcs in the mid to late 2000s. Something need to be done about it before someone gets hurt while driving these vehicles. Gm knows about this problem and won't do anything about it. So much for the government bailout!

I have 3 cracks in the dash of my suburban. 1 is in the far left, front corner of the passenger side air bag, and the other 2 are in front of the steering wheel, about 8 inches apart. My concern, aside from paying so much money for a vehicle and having the dash crack for no reason, is that the airbag being deployed on the passenger side may send plastic pieces flying at the passengers face. There is obviously a defect in the production of these dashes, as I have read other people state the same issue, in the same spots. I encourage general motors to issue a recall on this part, as it could pose a dangerous situation in the event of an accident. The vehicle was parked during the period the dash cracked.

Thousands of people on a specific facebook page( 07-13 cracked dash safety hazard for all trucks) from across america are experiencing the same problem on there gm SUV from 2007-2013 and no recall has been put out by gm. The dealers want between 1100 to 1600 dollars for the repair. Gm has stated it is heat related but it is from inferior material they used to make these dash boards. If it was heat related every car in the world would have cracked dashboards.
