YESTERDAY AUGUST 20, 2017 IN THE LATE AFTERNOON WHILE DRIVING, MY 2011 GMC SIERRA DEAD STOPPED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT . I REMAINED BLOCKING THE ROAD UNTIL THE POLICE ARRIVED TO PUSH MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START EVEN WITH A JUMP. THE CAR IS NOW AT THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THE AUTO MECHANIC STATED THAT THE HYBRID SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONDING.

DASH CRACKING AROUND AIR BAG AND AROUND DRIVER SIDE.IT SEEMS TO BE FALLING TO PIECES FOR NO APPARENT REASON

PURCHASED 2.5 MONTHS FROM LOCAL DEALERSHIP. SPOTLESS INTERIOR. PARKED TRUCK IN PARKING LOT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR FOR CHURCH AND NOTICED CRACK ABOVE PASSENGERS AIRBAG TO THE LEFT SPLITTING THE DASH COMPLETELY. ALSO BOWING TO DASH BRANCHING LEFT OF CRACK. WEATHER WAS AROUND 90 DEGREES AND I USE A SUNVISOR AND TYPICALLY CRACK MY WINDOWS. HAVE NOT CLEANED OR TOUCHED DASH IN THE TIME OF OWNERSHIP, OTHER THAN SLIDDING THE SUNVISOR TO WINDSHIELD. DEALERSHIP TODAY CLAIMED THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL GMC ISSUES RECALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON COMPLAINT IN ALL GMC TRUCK MODELS FROM 07-13. CONCERNED WITH SAFETY OF AIRBAG PROJECTILING SHARDS OF DASH IF DEPLOYED.

CRACKED DASHBOARD WITHOUT COLLISION OR ANY IMPACT. THE HEAT AND COLD CONTINUE TO CRACK THE DASH AND I AM CERTAIN THE ENTIRE DASH WILL EXPLODE IF ANY AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED OR COLLISION IS EXPERIENCED.
