Dash Bubbling - anyone else?

[blackswan]

Same, i have a bubble in center of new one.

[blackswan]

Imagine the fix they will come up with...

"Confirm bubble.

Poke bubble with Special Service Tool HYPDRMKNDL/6969-CSTMRPHQD.

Expunge air with SST CRDTCRD-SKERS

Push firmly around periphery of bubble towards hole that should never be noticable by customers who bought this vehicle yearning for their high school days in the 70s.

Show care around stereo bezel as it is easily marred. If marred try to hide blemish with Service Writers eye liner pencil or SST SHRPYBLK-007

Test drive aggressively.

Return vehicle to customer.

Billable: 2 hours"

If the car wasn't under warranty, I'd get a very thin-needle syringe, and put some epoxy in it. Then I'd inject the needle under the bubble and squeeze some out, then smooth out the pleather and rig a weight so it would stay put. Next morning it would be all fixed

I have slight dis-bond, but not where you guys do, and it's not noticeable to the eye- only found it when cleaning the dash. I expect my car will develop the same issue yours are having. If warranty can't fix it, I can

I hadn't noticed it before, but after seeing the post I looked and mine it starting to bubble too. It's really not that bad yet and the temps here in SC have been 100+, so I will probable wait till it gets worse to worry about it. My experiance with dealers or most repair shops for that matter, will never get it back to the new factory look. I bought my 2012 last Nov and have been back to the shop for stupid repairs(Mostly caused by the dealer) 6 times. Gotta find a new one

Have you been able to get to a dealership for diagnosis for replacement? I am sorry to hear of the inconvenience this may have caused you.

So there's no real solution to this still? Replacing it OBVIOUSLY doesn't work, so why are the dealers still doing it?

[blackswan]

Takes minutes and they can charge GM an hour? Just sayin.

They dont mind changing them out at all, they make money from doing it.

Noticed mine a few weeks ago. Sounds like they will be addressing this along with my faulty torque converter. I love this site. Very informative. Thanks everyone. Keep taking the cars back until they get a permanent fix.

I have a 2012.. My dash is doing the same thing. I have a factory sunroof. I drive with it opened and the ac cranking... I noticed some condensation. When i felt the dash its all full of bubbles. I went right to dealership. They took pictures of it.. Said they have to wait for a reply back from Detroit. They will call me tomorrow and tell me what their going to do.

They really don't have many options other than replacing it or just wait to see if GM gets off their tails and finds a solution for this pain in the arse.
