Default Dash bubbling

I did a search and found this subject already discussed. My 2014 AW 3LT/Z52 dashboard started to bubble up on the piece just above the HUD. The dealer used a heat gun and it tighten up, then it started again months later the piece along the windshield started to lift up.
I had the local dealer look at it and they said the whole dash has to be replace.
I planned to giving this car up when the new model shows up. So I had them start on the replacement on the dash, two weeks later they finished it. When they started it up, a air passenger airbag shown up.

Still no fix to the light. has anyone experienced a long time repair on warranty item. How long did you wait before you elevate the problem to get a solution. I figured if they cannot fix it; the dealer just bought a nice use C7 convertible.

The dealer finally fixed the "airbag light"; while I was waiting to pick it up. I noticed they had a 17 Z06 with red interior and the seat my wife likes. At first I was not liking the look because it did not have a splitter and side skirts; then I read the window sticker' it was showing it came with the carbon fiber package but it was not installed
So I verified with the parts department if the kit was in the store; it was but needs to be installed.

picking up the Z06 tomorrow.
