2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

CRACKS AROUND AIR BAG IN DASH PASSENGER SIDE, SHARP PLASTIC PARTS COULD INJURE OCCUPANTS IN CASE OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS COMMON ON MOST 07 GM PICKUPS. THE DEALERS WILL NOT REPAIR THIS.. THE PLASTIC IS BRITTLE AND HAS SHARP EDGES.

TAKATA RECALL DASH CRACKING OVER INSTRUMENT COMPARTMENT AND AIR BAG INSIDE DOOR HANDLES CITING FINGERS. KEEP TRUCK IN CARPORT WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE IS ALWAYS COVERED.

RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINE AT 72000 MILES. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE I AM THE ONLY ONE. ITS A SHAME GM DOESN'T MAN UP AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINES. LUCKILY I WAS IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WHEN IT FAILED AND NOT RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD PULLING MY 4000 LB. BOAT. AND YES I HAVE READ ALL THE INFO ONLINE ABOUT THE NHTSB INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM AND LET GM OFF THE HOOK BY SAYING OWNERS SHOULD WASH THEIR CARS TO REMOVE THE ROAD SALT THAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. I GUESS FORD AND DODGE OWNERS CRAWL UNDER THEIR TRUCKS IN THE WINTER AND DO THIS AS THERE WAS NO INVESTIGATION ON THEM. BY THE WAY I LIVE IN TN WHERE WINTERS AREN'T THAT BAD. AND ONE OTHER THING WHAT MARKETING BUZZ SAW DECIDED IT WOULD BE BETTER NOT TO HAVE A SPLIT BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR SO AT LEAST I WOULD HAVE 1/2 OF MY SYSTEM, HAD NO BRAKES FRONT OR REAR BECAUSE OF THIS.

ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE. FAILED TO START. WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION, ACTED AS IF THERE WAS A DEAD BATTERY. ATTEMPTED TO START AGAIN, BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COVER. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. SERVICE ADVISES THAT MAIN BEARING WAS THROWN, SEIZING THE ENGINE AND SMOKE WAS FROM THE STARTER BURNING UP. ENGINE HAS 87,000 MILES. ALSO BURNS APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. VEHICLE PURCHASED OCTOBER 2015. DEALER ADVISES REPLACE WITH NEW ENGINE. REPLACEMENT IN PROGRESS. DATE OF LOSS 23 JANUARY 2016. OIL LEVEL WAS FULL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE BRAKES WOULD ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE SENSOR LIGHT ACTIVATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

THERE ARE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH OF MY 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500. ONE OF THE CRACKS RUNS INTO THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG THE OTHER IS OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THERE ARE CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG. I'M CONCERNED THIS MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD SEND SHRAPNEL IF AIRBAGS DEPLOY LIKE THE RECENT TAKATA RECALL. IT STARTED WITH ONE SMALL CRACK AND HAS DEVELOPED INTO THREE ACROSS THE DASHBOARD. THE LARGEST AROUND TEN INCHES LONG. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT ISSUE WITH THIS AND SIMILAR GM MAKES AND MODELS BUT I DID NOT FIND A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE. I CONTACTED GMC AND THEY DO NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY.

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND AIR BAG LEADING TO SAFETY CONCERNS IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS WITH SHARP PLASTIC PIECES FLYING. I WILL INSTALL THE THIRD DASH IN THE TRUCK DUE TO THE CRACKING TO PREVENT INJURIES IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.

USES OIL..LOTS OF IT. AND WITH IT USING OIL SEEMS SLUGGISH..NO PASSING SPEED. BURNS 1 QUART EVERY 2000 MILES. LOTS OF OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION AND EXCELERATION
