TAKATA RECALL SEVERE CRACKS ORIGINATING FROM THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG. AIRBAG LOOKS LIKE IT HAS A BULGE CAUSING THE DASHBOARD TO CRACK. CONCERNING THAT AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY AND PIECES OF PLASTIC WILL INJURE THE PASSENGER OR DRIVER OF PIECES ARE DEPLOYES ALL OVER THE CABIN.

DASH IS CRACKING NEXT TO AIRBASE ON PASSENGER SIDE AND ADDITIONALLY NEXT TO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. MULTIPLE CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED OF THIS (DEALER SAID IT IS TYPICAL). SOME REPORTS ARE AT 80% OF THE DASHES CRACK IN THIS AREA. WE ARE AT 100%. MY WIFE'S 2009 CHEVY TAHOE IS CRACKED IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE. IN HER CASE, THE AIRBAG MECHANISM IS POPPING OUT OF THE DASH. SHOULD IT NEED TO DEPLOY, IT CANNOT AS DESIGNED. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND NO CHEMICAL USED ON THE DASH. IN THE CASE OF THE GMC SIERRA, IT ONLY HAS 66K MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. DEALER AND GM HAVE REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. REPAIR COST 1,200. I AM TAKING THE TAHOE IN NEXT WEEK FOR REPAIR DUE TO MY SAFETY CONCERNS FOR MY WIFE.

ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT FAILURE NUMBER 4 CYLINDER. P0304 DTC. HAS A LOUD TICKING NOISE AND A MISS ON NUMBER 4 CYLINDER. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND AS I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, IT APPEARS TO BE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO AFFECT THESE TRUCKS.
