2008 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE BURNED 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN UNDER 3000 MILES. 105K MILES ON 5.3 LITER V8. DEALER SAID TYPICAL FOR THIS ENGINE TO HAVE CARBON BUILDUP AND NEEDS NEW PISTON RINGS AND PISTONS. ALSO DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED AND WINDOW SWITCHES.

FAILURE OF UNDERBODY/FRAME RUST UNDERCOATING. THE UNDERCOATING HAS COMPLETELY FLAKED OFF THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK WITH 90K MILES. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WHICH HAS BEEN GARAGED SINCE DAY ONE. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO RUSTING THRU FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC ABOUT THIS ISSUE BOTH IN PERSON & ON THE PHONE. THEY HAVE DENIED ANY LIABILITY IN THIS MATTER.

"GMC DASH RECALL" MY 2008 GMC SIERRA DASH IS CRACKING AND I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON GOOGLE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. THE DASH IS CRACKED IN SUCH A WAY THAT AT A CERTAIN ANGLE I CAN SEE WIRES EXPOSED FROM THE AIRBAG COVER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL TO FIX THE CRACKED DASH.

CRACKED DASHBOARD IN AREA AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG. COULD CAUSE DEBRIS WHEN OR IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. ALSO CRACKED ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON DRIVER SIDE.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. ONE CRACK IS ALONG THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE SECOND IS ALONG THE DRIVERS SIDE IN FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT GLUSTER. THE FIRST CRACK APPEARED AS I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY AND THE OTHER WAS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIRBAG CRACK COULD CAUSE SHARP PIECES OF THE DASH TO PROJECT IN THE CASE OF A DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL. MY DASH IS CRACKED NEXT TO THE AIR BAG. IF THIS AIR BAG GOES OFF BEFORE IT IS RECALLED PLASTIC PARTS FROM DASH MIGHT HARM THE DRIVER AND OR PASSENGER.
