2010 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - NHTSA RECALL #16V381 CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TOLL-FREE LINE IN JULY 2016, THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER. TOOK MY TRUCK TO POWELL WATSON GMC DEALER IN LAREDO, TEXAS ON JULY 2016 AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT GM HAD NOT YET FIGURED OUT A REPLACEMENT PART AND THAT A REPLACEMENT PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. AGAIN ON JAN 2, 2017, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY RESPONDED TO ME THAT THERE WAS NO CURE FOR THE SAFETY AIR BAG ISSUE THAT MY TRUCK WAS BEING BROUGHT IN. THE GMC DEALER WAS NOT GIVING ME ETA ON THE REPLACEMENT PART. AND THE SAFETY CONCERN WAS NOT BEING RESOLVED. *TR

2010 GMC SIERRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO STEERING WHEEL NOISES AND RECALL NOTICE 16V-381 ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A WHISPERING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. *JB

DASH IS BROKEN ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE JUST TO THE LEFT OF WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS, AND THEN IT IS ALSO BROKEN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE CENTER OF THE DASH IS LACKING SUPPORT AND IT VIBRATES BADLY AND HAS CAUSED THIS BREAKAGE.

MY DASH IS CRACKED ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG ON CORNER BY AIRBAG WHENT DO DEALER SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO

PASSENGER SIDE DASH IS CRACKING RIGHT BEHIND THE AIR BAG. HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE FIXED IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF 2014. ALMOST 3 YEARS LATER THE NEW DASH IS CRACKED. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2007-2013 GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S. I JUST NOTICED THE CRACK YESTERDAY DECEMBER 11TH, 2016. THE CRACK HAS STARTED WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THAT I CAN RECALL.

DASH IS CRACKED AT FORWARD LEFT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING AND RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AREA. EXTREME CONCERN THAT. IN THE CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG AND/OR BECOME FLYING SHRAPNEL/DEBRIS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGER.

AT ~ 54,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION AND LOST COMPRESSION ON TWO CYLINDERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIGHWAY MILEAGE OF ABOUT 30 MILES/DAY ON AVERAGE AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE EXTENT THAT CYLINDERS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP 25 DAYS TO REPAIR. A COWORKER HAD THE SAME ENGINE ISSUE ON HIS CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH THE SAME 5.3 LITER ENGINE AT ~ 45,000 MILES. A CURSORY SEARCH OF THE INTERNET WILL REVEAL THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF OWNERS COMMENTS THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED BELIEVE THAT IT IS CAUSED BY THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAILING TO PROPERLY LUBRICATE COMPONENTS WHEN THE ENGINE CYCLES BETWEEN 4 AND 8 CYLINDERS. GM DISAVOWED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THESE INCIDENTS WHEN CONTACTED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP DISAVOWED ANY KNOWLEDGE ALSO ALTHOUGH I PRESENTED THEM OVER A DOZEN PAGES OF GM OWNERS GROUP WEB PAGES WITH DESCRIPTION OF THE SAME ENGINE FAILURES. HOWEVER, WHEN THEIR MECHANIC WAS QUESTIONED AS TO WHETHER HE WAS REPAIRING THE PROBLEM OR MERELY EXCHANGING DAMAGED PARTS, HE REPLIED "IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME". THIS TELLS ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE FIRST THAT THEY HAVE SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM.

THE DASH OF THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED AROUND THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT PIECES OF THE DASH MAY BECOME MISSILE HAZARDS IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIGHWAY MILEAGE. A CURSORY SEARCH OF THE INTERNET FOR CAUSES OF THE CRACK REVEALED THAT THIS IS AN ON-GOING ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE THAT IS BEING IGNORED BY THE GM CORPORATION.

DASH IS CRACKING AGAIN. THE DASH WAS REPLACED UNDER THE ORIGINAL 3/36 WARRANTY AND NOW THE REPLACEMENT IS CRACKED. TWO CRACKS IN THE REPLACEMENT. ONE IN FRONT OF DRIVER AND ONE ON PASSENGER SIDE AT THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 WITH 43,000 MILES AND IS STORED IN A GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME (NOT A DAILY DRIVER). DASHBOARD CRACKED WHILE SITTING IN THE GARAGE. NO EXTREME CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE AS GARAGE IS HEATED.
