In the last 12 months the dash has cracked in multiple places and the paint on the hood and roof has cracked and faded. I have already had the hood repainted but the roof is more extensive and should not have to be repainted after only 6 years. The dash is cracked near the airbag so if I'm in an accident the dash will splinter into the faces of the passengers.

Vehicle is parked inside day and night

This is a huge safety concern for me and my husband as we have two small kids and always have kids in the car. So I tried to open a case with GM customer care hoping they were going to do something as this was a GM certified vehicle and that warranty just…
Air Bags · at 30,000 miles · reported Dec 19, 2018
Dash issues have plagued the 2007-2014 gmc trucks. Mine is included in this. There is cracking all around the area where the passenger airbag is. I'm worried that in a deployment, pieces of dash would be projected at passengers. The dash material is clearly very brittle and flimsy.
