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.

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET 3/4 TON PICKUP PURCHASED NEW. I HAULED 4 CATTLE SYRUP TUBS WHICH WEIGH 250 LBS A PIECE A TOTAL WEIGHT OF 1000 POUNDS TO MY LAND LEASE WHICH WAS ABOUT 70 MILES FROM WHERE I PURCHASED THE TUBS. BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY LEASE THE TUBS HAD MOVED AROUND BED. WHEN I REMOVED THE TUBS OUR OF THE PICKUP THEY HAD CAVED IN BOTH FINDER WELLS AND SEPARATED THE FINDER WELL FROM THE BED CAUSING ABOUT A 2-3 INCH GAP IN THE BED OF BY PICKUP. I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS. THIS PICKUP HAS 580000 MILES ON IT AND I CAN SEE THE GROUND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FINDER WELL BY 2-3 INCHES. IF CHEVROLET IS SUCH A TOUGH TRUCK THIS SHOULD NOT OF HAPPENED. I OWN A 2001 CHEVY 1/2 TON Z71 HAVE HAULED THE SAME AMOUNT OF THESE TUBS OF 1000 LBS IT DENTED THE FENDER WELLS BUT NEVER SEPARATED THE BED. WE OWN 6 CHEVROLET PICKUPS AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HAPPY WITH GM PRODUCTS BUT THIS CERTAINLY MAKES YOU WONDER ABOUT THE BUILD CHEVY TOUGH MOTO. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE ON HOW TO HANDLE THIS AS I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THIS BED TO COME APART THE WAY THAT IT DID. *TR
