While driving down the road a large piece of the dash exploded violently projecting a sharp plastic piece of the dash, hitting driver in the face, narrowly missing the eyes, bouncing off and landing in the 2nd row seating area. Thankfully, there was no infant or child in those seats or they could have been injured. The temperature outside was 100+ in the summer in Texas. The cracking dash issue has been reported by us and by numerous other complainants many times previously. This is an ongoing problem that has clearly not been taken seriously by GM.

What 2010 Chevrolet Suburban owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I took my vehicle to have to air bag repaired and it has a cracks all over the dashboard now. I contacted to representative and was informed this is a Hazzard of this vehicle. It is a known issue but it has not been addressed by the GMC company. How many people have to be injured or killed before it becomes and actual safety issue? Whose life is considered expendable? If it is a known issue and it has been, in good faith, brought to GMCs attention, why has it not been corrected?
Dashboard cracking in 2 places.
Dashboard crack in multiple places.
Dashboard crack.
Dash cracked and fell apart. Had to replace the entire dash board assembly. The dash was cracking as if it was made of glass. A piece of the dash even broke off while I was driving and fell on my lap..
Dash cover is cracked.
Dash is falling apart, full of cracks; chunks of plastic dash have broken off. Potential safety issue if involved in an accident, especially if dash airbag is deployed. Large sharp pieces of dash will break loose and become projectiles/ shrapnel. I believe sunlight and high heat in parked car has caused this. Not caused by an accident. Definitely a design flaw. Should be recalled.
Cracks (2 separate cracks; photos attached) appeared in the dashboard of 2010 chevrolet suburban lt above the steering column and near the passenger airbag. The vehicle was stationary in the driveway when the cracks appeared -- there was no event to cause the cracks to appear. A search on a gm online forum advised this to be a known defect for cars of this model and year.
2 cracks across the dashboard this has to be from defective plastic made in manufacturing the dashboard.
