2011 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN ROUTE WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IT 45 MPH. IT WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH AND MY REAR END EXPLODED LEAVING ME AND MY YOUNG SON STUCK. I FINALLY REALIZED THAT I USE 4X4 TO GET US OFF THE ROAD WHICH THANKFULLY WORKED.

DASH IS CRACKED ON DRIVERS SIDE AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

TRUCK WILL COME UP WITH AC TURNED OFF. THE FAN WILL JUST RUN BUT TRUCK DOESN'T SEEM TO START RUNNING HOT. IT WILL COME ON AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS IT WILL GO OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED A MINIMUM OF THREE TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN JUST STARTING, OR DRIVING ON A REGULAR ROAD.

THE TOP SECTION OF THE DASHBOARD HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS INCLUDING AREAS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. THE AIRBAG SECTION IS THE MOST TROUBLING, AS IT WOULD APPEAR THE BROKEN SECTIONS COULD BECOME AIRBORNE AT A HIGH RATE OF VELOCITY IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK FOR A YEAR OR SO I NOTICED THAT THE DASH WAS STARTING TO CRACK DUE TO THE FLORIDA SUN BEAMING DOWN ON IT. I PURCHASED A SUNVISOR BUT STILL DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE MUCH EFFECT ON THE DASH AND NOW IT HAS CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS IN THREE DIFFERENT SPOTS

THE TOP SIDE OF MY INTERIOR DASH IS CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO ANY KIND OF IMPACT OR ANYTHING ELSE. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF IT.

GM IS NOT FIXING THE RECALLED TAKATA AIRBAGS, AND I AM NOT ABLE TO SELL OR DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

NHTSA DOCKET # 2016-0124. NHTSA 16V381. GM RECALL #2049151. HOW LONG IS A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME FOR A SAFETY RECALL TO BE OR THE ACTED ON? THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MAY 2016, YOU AND GM JUST WANT TO SET ON IT WHILE I AM DRIVING A UNSAFE TRUCK. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AUGUST 2017 DECISION DATE TO GET GENERAL MOTORS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 GM SIERRA AIR BAG. THEY CLAIM NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED "YET", WHAT'S THE NUMBER TO GET THEM TO ACT OR THE NHTSA TO MAKE THEM DO THE RIGHT THING. IF SAFETY IS SO IMPORTANT WHY HAS IT BEEN 3 1/2 YEARS WITH NO FIX, I HAVE NOT EVEN GOT A LETTER FROM THEM TELLING ME I HAVE A RECALLED AIR BAG ON MY TRUCK, I GUESS THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW, IT MIGHT COST THEM SOME MONEY.
