2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

DASH HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ALL THE WAY TO WINDSHIELD, AND HAS CRACKED FROM WINDSHIELD TO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER.

$17,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE ON MY GMC ALL AIRBAGS WENT OFF MINUS THE DRIVER SIDE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG. WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 75 MILES PER HOUR FELL ASLEEP AT WHEEL RAN INTO THE BARRIER WIRES. DAMAGE ALL OVER THE TRUCK 360UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK LUCKILY NOBODY WAS INJURED EXCEPT FOR MY OWN BODY. I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS THE ONSTAR WOKE ME UP AND I CRAWLED OUT OF THE WRECKAGE MEETING THE HIGHWAY PATROL. IT'S BEEN JUST OVER FOUR YEARS I'M STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE INJURY.

THE DASH IS CRACKED, THERE ARE TWO CRACKS WHERE THE AIR-BAG IS, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR-BAG. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND INVOLVES SEVERAL MODELS AND SEVERAL YEARS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. SEVERAL PEOPLE REPLACED THEIR DASHES AT THEIR EXPENSE ONLY TO HAVE THOSE CRACK ALSO.

DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS. EACH CRACK IS ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG. ONE OF THEM IS ON THE LEFT SIDE, ABOUT 12 INCHES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE OTHER CRACK IS ON THE TOP-LEFT CORNER OUTSIDE OF THE AIRBAG AREA. THE CRACKS HAVE BEEN GETTING BIGGER IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. IT APPEARS THAT IF AN AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THE SHARP END OF THE CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INJURY RATHER THAN PROTECTION. NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSED IT. NO KNOWN OBJECTS HAVE BEEN PLACED ON DASHBOARD TO EXERT SUCH FORCE TO CAUSE IT TO BREAK.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK WITH ALL 4 TIRES GOODYEAR WRANGLER AT/S 265/70 R17 DOT NUMBER 4BT6 FDER 3411 ON AUGUST 19,2016. I HAVE HAD A SHAKY/BUMPY SENSATION SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK & THE TIRES ALWAYS WORE UNEVEN. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 47,541 AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. ON FEBRUARY 15, 2016 AT A MILEAGE OF ROUGHLY 60,440 TWO OF THE TIRES HAD BELTS BREAK. I HAD THE TIRES CHECKED BY MULTIPLE REPAIR PLACES & WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A TIRE DEFECT. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE TIRES. I BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES OF A DIFFERENT BRAND. I AM UNSURE OF THE MILEAGE PUT ON THE TIRES BEFORE MY PURCHASE, BUT I ONLY PUT AROUND 13,000 MILES ON THEM BEFORE THE ICCURANCE.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. IN A CRASH OR AIRBAG INFLATION, LOOSE SHARDS OF DASHBOARD PLASTIC MAY BECOME HAZARDOUS FLYING DEBRIS OR THEY MAY PUNCTURE AND/OR CUT THE AIRBAG PREVENTING PROPER AIRBAG INFLATION AND DECREASING THE AIRBAG'S EFFECTIVENESS.

DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION (WHILE DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY) THE DASHBOARD ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG CRACKED. IT IS ON THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE FRAMEWORK AROUND THE AIR BAG COVER ON THE WINDSHIELD SIDE. I DO NOT STORE ANYTHING ON TOP OF THE DASHBOARD AND ALWAYS USE AN ALUMINIZED SUNSCREEN PROTECTOR IN THE WINDSHIELD 9 OUT OF 12 MONTHS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE CRACK TO OCCUR (UNKNOWN CAUSE). *TR

TAKATA RECALL: A CRACK HAS APPEARED ON THE DASH LEADING TO THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE! MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS MAY AFFECT DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG, AND OR CAUSE PIECES OF DASH TO BECOME SHRAPNEL!

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS SINGLE PIECE EXTENDS OVER TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.

DASHBOARD CRACKING AROUND AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AND INSTRUMENT PANEL ON DRIVER SIDE. THE THIN BRITTLE PLASTIC MAY BE A HAZZARD WITH AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
