2010 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

DASH HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN. EDGES ARE SHARP AND VIBRATE AS WELL.

THE DASH ON MY 2010 GMC SIERRA SLT CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE IS RIGHT ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO THE EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD. TWO IS FROM THE EDGE OF THE DASH UP TO THE GAGE CLUSTER HUMP. THESE CRACKS HAPPENED ON A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK THAT HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I ALWAYS HAVE A SUN VISOR UP WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO GM AND HAD A DEALER TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THE SERVICE GUY SAID THAT HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACED HIS DASH FOR FREE. THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WASN'T A SAFETY CONCERN AND GM WOULD COVER $300 OF THE REPAIRS. THE REPAIRS WERE GOING TO COST AROUND $1000. THIS IS A VERY COMMON DESIGN FLAW THAT GM DOES NOT WANT TAKE CARE OF. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD BE SAFELY CONCERN IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND THE DASH SHOOTS SHARP PLASTIC FROM A FAULTY DASH ALL OVER ME OR MY FAMILY.

DASH CRACKED OVER DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL; I NOTICED THIS IN THE FIRST WEEK OR TWO OF DECEMBER, 2015. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND I DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PAY TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. TRUCK IS ALWAYS PARKED UNDER COVER AND NEVER EXPOSED TO DIRECT EXTREME TEMPERATURES FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIODS. TRUCK HAS APPROX. 79,000 MILES AND IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. IN ADDITION TO THE DASH CRACKING, THE LEATHER DRIVER SEAT IS RIPPING AND APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY THE SEAT BELT NOT RETRACTING PROPERLY. THIS WAS NOTICED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I NOTICED THE CRACKED DASH. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER, AM 67 YEARS OLD, DON'T WEAR ANYTHING SHARP ON MY CLOTHING THAT WOULD DAMAGE MY SEAT. SURELY THE INTERIOR OF THIS TRUCK SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THE TIRES AND I BELIEVE GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL, LOST ENGINE POWER AND TRUCK SPEED WAS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED. DASH WARNING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" DISPLAYED. COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THIS SITUATION CAUSED DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE.

HOOKED UP A TRAILER (FIRST TIME EVER), DISCOVERED THAT THE TRAILER LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING, CHECKED FUSES, FOUND A MELTED FUSE. FOUND A RECALL FOR SAME PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT IS VIN SPECIFIC AND VIN IS NOT COVERED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, AND REPORTED PROBLEM TO GMC, WAS TOLD TO REPORT IT HERE. ALSO FOUND A VIN SPECIFIC RECALL FOR THE DRIVER CONTROL BUTTON FOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW (SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES DOESN'T) AND AGAIN THIS VIN IS NOT COVERED.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG . THE TRUCK WAS CLEANED AND DETAILED ON WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 25TH 2015 , PARKED BACK IN THE GARAGE AND WHEN I LEFT IN IT FRIDAY NOVEMBER 27 , 2015 I NOTICED THE DASH WAS CRACKED . THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME SINCE IT IS THE PASSENGER AIR COMPARTMENT AND COULD RESULT IN FLYING DEBRIS FOR AN OCCUPANT INSIDE MY TRUCK .

2010 GAS LEAKING AROUND FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT. CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT RECALL NON BUT IT IS COMMON FOR THIS TRUCK ??? FUEL ? LEAKING ? FIRE? ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD ?? GM REPLACEMENT PARTS TO REPLACE RUSTED OUT SENDING UNIT $595 + LABOR @ $240 MILES @52000. THIS IS A SAFTY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZZARD AND NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT OBSERVED A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,500.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEN TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS DUE TO LOSS OF POWER TO THE AIR BAG MODULE ATTRIBUTED TO CORROSION WITHIN THE UNDER-HOOD FUSE BLOCK.

AROUND 37,000 MILES A CRACK APPEARED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH, AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE ARE NOW 3 CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AND THESE CRACKS COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A TEAR IN THE AIRBAG DURING DEPLOYMENT, RENDERING THE AIRBAG INEFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING INJURY DURING AN ACCIDENT. FROM ONLINE SEARCHES, IT APPEARS THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DESIGN ISSUE ON THE 2010 MODEL THAT WAS FIXED STARTING WITH THE 2011 TRUCKS. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I FEEL THAT DUE TO THE POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, THE DASHES FOR THIS MODEL YEAR OF SIERRA SHOULD BE FIXED BY GM. *TR
