Not that the GM rep will do anything for you!
I don't want to hijack, but with all this talk about the cracks and fixing them, is there any known method for prevention?
I have an 08, I just purchased with 70k miles. The dash was cracked in front of the airbag AND in front of the gauge cluster in 2 places. Needless to say I took it back to my dealer and they fixed it, no questions asked. I was frankly VERY surprised as I figured it to be a $500-$600 job.
Other than that and a couple little issues(that they also fixed with no questions) I LOVE the TRUCK!!!

nobody??
No, I wouldn't think the cracks are avoidable.
The cracks come from flex and movement between the plastic dashboard and what it is attached to. If the dashboard had a vinyl overlay, I don't think most people would even know cracks have developed.
This is clearly an unintentional manufacturing defect, one that GM had not anticipated. But even so, GM should stand behind their product instead of giving people the run-a-round. I was once told they were going to extend the warranty on the dashboard to 5 years or 100,000 miles. If this extended warranty took place, I guess GM wants to keep it a secret from those who don't care if their dashboards crack or not.
