as mentioned by many customers the dash on the vehicles crack and GM refuses to pay for repairs. Now there is a Airbag recall that needs to be completed and I am told by dealer that the dash will crack more and get worse during the repair and they are not responsible for the damage. This is unacceptable and unsafe as it is costing me and consumers more money for a defective product.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY 2500. 6.6 TURBO DIESEL AT 136K MILES. MY DEF HEATER JUST WENT OUT AND MY DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S ONLY UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 120K MILES. I'VE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND THERE'S A LOT OF 2011S THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. IT'S COSTING ME $1200 TO FIX PLUS A DAY OFF WORK. I'M SELF EMPLOYED AND IF I SELL A FAULTY PRODUCT I'M REQUIRED TO REPLACE FOR FREE. G.M SHOULD BE DOING THE SAME.
