| My dash began with a small crack on the left side of the top of the airbag. we then had a very long crack on the driver's side over the hump. i took the car to the chevrolet dealership i bought it from and they said it was not under my warranty and that i would have to pay out of pocket. about 6 months ago another long crack on right side of airbag developed. airbag is partially exposed and i feel it is a safety concern. after doing some research, it seems this is an extremely common problem in these automobiles. there's even a facebook group complaining of this common problem! *tr | |||

| Check air bag light came on. had it checked out at a gm dealer, but they could not tell me if it would be $400 or $4,000. i have a real problem paying this much for an item that i feel should be covered under recall. as a safety professional, i think it is unconscionable to drive without an air bag, but the cost is also unconscionable when the vehicle has only $65,000 miles. i may wiegh my options and park it in the hopes of hearing about a recall. | |||

| I was driving on highway 52 around winston salem, nc on thrusday march 18th, 2010 when all (4) airbags deployed. i was traveling about 60 mph in the left lane of multi-lane traffic; but was able to keep control of the car, change lanes and get to an exit and stop the vehicle. there was no collision or warning that the airbags were going to deploy. the vehicle was turned over to the dealer on 3/20/2010 to investigate and follow up with gm. on 3/22/10 the dealer called and said they had looked at the car but were instructed by gm not to do anything further and that i need to call gm to get a case # for an investigation. i called and after several transfers and call backs i was assigned case # 71-814346366 and told that i would get a call back within two business days on what actions were being taken. on 3/25/10 i received a call and was informed that an inspector would be sent to the dealership to check out the car. to date have i received no further communications from gm and as of 4/8/10 the dealership has not received any notice on when or if an inspector is scheduled to check out the car. this was a serious incident and should have been investigated immediately. there a thousands of similar vehicles on the road that could have the same defect and it seems the manufacturer doesn't want to find out what the problem is. your help in investigating this issue will be very important to the safety of driving public. thank you. updated 04/16/10.*jb | |||
