2010 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

WHEN TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED TAKATA HAS NOT COME UP WITH A RESOLUTION. SO THERE ARE NO AIRBAGS FOR THEM TO INSTALL. WE RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE BACK IN JULY 2016.

TAKATA RECALL IN JULY 2016, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THAT MY 2010 GMC SIERRA 1500 WAS BUILT WITH DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS. I HAVE CALLED CRABTREE BUICK GMC IN BRISTOL, VA., ONCE IN 2016 AND AGAIN IN SUMMER OF 2017 AND PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME FOR INSTALLATION. I WOULD SERIOUSLY LIKE TO HAVE THE NEWER, SAFER AIRBAG INFLATORS INSTALLED ASAP!!

DASH CRACKED IN TWO PLACES ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AN IN CORNER OF AIR BAG. I DON'T KNOW IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.

DASH HAS A CONSIDERABLE CRACK ACROSS THE ENTIRE SURFACE AS WELL AS CRACKING INTO THE AIRBAG EXIT. HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILIZER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE MADE A KNOCKING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AT THE DESIRED RPMS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JIM FAULK MOTORS (1201 N 2ND ST CLINTON, MO 64735; 660-956-0076 OR 877-819-4482) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT, DUE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING, THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000.

THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES. NAMELY ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THERE WAS NO STRESS OR IMPACTS TO THE DASH THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE CRACKING. THE MANNER AND LOCATIONS OF THE CRACKS COULD CAUSE THE DASH TO FRAGMENT AND CAUSE INJURIES TO OCCUPANTS IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

TAKATA RECALL. WAS CHECKED BY DEALERSHIP OVER 6 MONTHS AGO AND EVERYDAY I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH THESE AIR BAGS PUTS MY FAMILY AT RISK. I WAS TOLD THESE PARTS WERE ORDERED TO FIX MY VEHICLE BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ELSE. I'M VERY WORRIED THAT AT ANY MOMENT THESE AIR BAGS COULD GO OFF.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF THEN TURNS BACK ON RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING DOOR LOCKS POP UP AND DOWN. VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 2 LOCATIONS, ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, POSSIBLE DANGER FOR PLASTIC PIECES DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
