What owners wrote
Noticed a crack on dash by airbag system shortly after purchase . Was told by dealership that I would have to pay almost $1,000 to repair even though vehicle was purchased as GM certified. As of yesterday, the crack is much larger and appears to be separating at corner of airbag assembly area on passenger side of dash. This has to be considered a safety concern. Please advise.
The entire front dash is beginning to separate. There is a crack in the dash where the airbag is located. It appears to be caused from the airbag.
