SEVERAL CRACKS IN MY DASH (4-5). ONE IS AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DASH IS SO BRITTLE IT CRACKS FROM JUST CLOSING THE DOOR. I'M AFRAID WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT AND BROKEN DASH PIECES GO FLYING THROUGHOUT THE CAB. THIS IS NO DOUBT A SAFETY CONCERN! NOT TO MENTION AN EYE SORE AND RESALE KILLER. THIS STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE.

THE DASH ON MY 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THIS CONCERNS ME AS IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS THIS WILL CAUSE PIECES OF THE DASH TO INJURE THE PERSON IT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT. THERE IS NUMEROUS INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET WITH PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK THIS TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM IN FOLEY AL AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500. THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS EXACT THING IN THE YEAR AND MAKE OF MY VEHICLE. MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. AFTER TALKING TO A CHEVY REPRESENTATIVE THEY INDICATED THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WAS TO MAKE A CLAIM BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM SEEN IN OTHER 2009 CHEVY SILVERADOS, AND MY VIN MAY BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THE CLAIM. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED IN MISSOURI, A STATE THAT UNDER THE RECALL OF SOME OF THESE VEHICLES QUALIFIED. *TR
