2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

DASH CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE AIR BAG. IT CRACKED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, AND WAS RUNNING TO HEAT THE VEHICLE WITH THE HEATER AND DEFROST. INTERIOR TEMPERATURE WAS SET TO 75, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 35. DASH CRACK EXTENDS FROM THE AIR BAG WHICH APPEARS TO CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL - WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL BUT HAVE YET BEEN CONTACTED OR ABLE TO HAVE THE BAGS REPLACED. HEARING OF MULTIPLE DEATHS, IS MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE?

THE STABILITY TRACK CONTROL CAME ON AND I TOOK IT BACK TO A GMC DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY COVERED IT. THE PROBLEM WAS THEY TOOK 9 DAYS TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I WAS OUT 9 DAYS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE.THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME BACK ON AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK. IT OCCURS WHEN I AM ON THE STREET MOVING.

TAKATA RECALL DASH IS CRACK ON THE TOP AT AIRBAG AFRAID IN A CRASH THAT THE BAG CAN LUNCH SHARDS IN TO PASSENGERS OR THE BAG WILL BE RIPPED WHEN DEPLOYED

DASH HAS CRACKED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO THE FRONT OF DASH CAP AND ALONG INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO THE FRONT OF DASH CAP. THIS CAN EASILY CAUSE A PROBLEM SHOULD THE AIRBAG GO OFF. AT THIS POINT I BELIEVE THE CENTER OF THE DASH WOULD SHATTER SENDING SHRAPNEL TO EVERY DIRECTION INSIDE THE TRUCK SHOULD THE AIRBAG GO OFF OR A COLLISION. FOR ME TO REPLACE THIS IS GOING TO COST $1000.00 THIS IS GMC'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR ENGINEERING AND POOR QUALITY. THEY SHOULD FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SPEND $1000.00 ON A $60,000.00 TRUCK BECAUSE THE DASH ISN'T SUPPORTED PROPERLY TO KEEP FROM FALLING APART. BESIDES, WHY SPEND $1000.00 ON A NEW ONE WHEN IT'S JUST GOING TO CRACK AGAIN. STRUCTURAL FLAW!!

DASHBOARD SURROUNDING AIRBAG AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS CRACKING AND ESSENTIALLY DISINTEGRATING. IF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYS OR I'M INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THESE SHARP PLASTIC FRAGMENTS WILL BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS TRUCK HAS 38K MILES AND IS IN OTHERWISE PRISTINE CONDITION WITH ZERO SCRATCHES ON THE INTERIOR PARTS ASIDE FROM THESE DASH CRACKS. THE PLASTIC IS PROTECTED EVERY THREE MONTHS AT LEAST WITH AEROSPACE 303 AND PROTECTED FROM SUNLIGHT WHEN NOT IN USE. THIS IS NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE, IT'S A STRUCTURAL DEFECT. THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED.

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD RIGHT BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON THE INBOARD SIDE. AS THE DRIVER, I AM WORRIED THAT A SHARD OF PLASTIC COULD EXPLOSIVELY TEAR THROUGH MY SKULL, KILLING ME, IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. GMC NEEDS TO FIX THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!!!

THE DRIVERS SIDE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. AFTER REACHING DOWN TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE THE METAL ATTACHED TO THE HANDLE SNAPPED OFF AND I WAS LEFT HOLDING THE PLASTIC HANDLE AND UNABLE TO OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE METAL IS MADE FROM A BIMETAL PRODUCT AND APPEARS TO BE FRAGILE AND LITE FOR THE PURPOSES OF OPENING THE DOOR. INCASE OF AN EMERGENCY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATING SITUATION. AFTER SEARCHING ON-LINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM MANY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING WITH THEIR GMC VEHICLES. I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED, I DID NOT PUT UNDO PRESSURE ON THE HANDLE.

DASH CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT, PIECES FROM THE SURROUNDING CRACKED DASH MAY BE SENT FLYING TOWARDS THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE.

ON 26MAR2017 I NOTICED A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 27MAR2017 AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW FLYWHEEL. I WANTED A SECOND OPINION BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A FLYWHEEL GOING BAD IN MY LIFE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A FEW MECHANICS WE ALL AGREED THAT IT WAS NOT THE FLYWHEEL. ON 4APR I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE TICKING WAS THE FLYWHEEL. THE FLYWHEEL HAD TO HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE AT TIME OF MANUFACTURING. IT JUST CRACKED FOR NO GOOD REASON OTHER THAN IT WAS POORLY MADE. 2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 FLYWHEEL JUST CRACKED OUT OF NOWHERE ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF AN ENTIRE FAMILY AND WHO KNOWS WHO ELSE IF IT HAD SHATTERED.THE VEHICLE WAS TICKING AFTER A MORNING START WHILE SITTING IDLE.
