2010 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

UPPER DASHBOARD CRACKED ALONG AIRBAG LOCATION ON PASSENGER SIDE - TOP LEFT CORNER OF AIR BAG. CAR WAS PARKED, CRACK WAS JUST THERE WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE ONE MORNING...NOT JUST ONCE BUT TWICE. APPARENTLY THE DASHBOARD CRACKS JUST AFTER THE THIRD YEAR AND RE-OCCURS WITH REPLACEMENT DASHBOARDS AS WELL (ALL DASHBOARDS ARE DEFECTIVE, INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENTS). NOTE: EXACT SAME CRACK AND LOCATION AS MANY OTHERS REPORTED ON FACEBOOK GROUP FORUM PAGE (07-13 GM CRACKED DASH SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL TRUCKS).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC SIERRA 1500. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YATES BUICK GMC (13845 W TEST DR, GOODYEAR, AZ 85338) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A CRIMPED WIRE LEADING TO THE AIR BAG HAD CAUSED A SHORT, AND THE WIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT IF THE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE REPAIR, THE AIR BAG WOULD ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE AIR BAG AT A REDUCED COST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,500.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL FOR NO REASON...WORRIED THAT IF THE AIRBAG GOES OFF THE DASH WILL BREAK APART AND CAUSING INJURIES. 3 OF US AT WORK THAT OWN A GMC/CHEVY PRODUCT IN THIS AGE RANGE HAS THE SAME CRACKS IN THE SAME PLACES. MY DASH CRACKED OVERNIGHT WHILE SITTING IN A GARAGE. THE AIR TEMPS WERE IN THE 60'S SO COULD NOT BE BECAUSE OF HEAT OR COLD. THE REPAIR FOR THE CRACKED DASH WAS A LITTLE OVER $1200.

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND ON TOP OF THE DRIVERSIDE DASH. I AM AFRAID THAT THE CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG ARE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY. BOTH CRACKS ARE GROWING RAPIDLY. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 44,000 MILES AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

DASH IS CRACKED ALONG SIDE OF PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON DASH.

DASH PANEL CRACK NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS IS THE SECOND DASH THAT HAS BEEN PLACED IN THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST DASH WAS REPLACED ON 07/23/2013 AT 31,093 MILES. THE REPLACED DASH CRACKED WHILE STATIONARY ON 05/28/2017 AT 73,197 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2007-2013 GMC VEHICLES.

THE 2010 GMC SIERRA LD 1500 HAD MULTIPLE PREMATURE FAILURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE FAILURE WERE PERTAINING TO THE RADIO ASSOCIATED WITH AN INTERNAL SHORT FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL AND THE DRIVERS SIDE ELECTRONIC FUNCTION PANEL. MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE, A FAILURE PROGRESSED IN WHICH THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO USE THE FUNCTION BUTTONS FOR THE WINDOWS AND UNABLE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS FROM THE ELECTRONIC FUNCTION PANEL UNLESS USING THE KEY FOB TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS. ONLY THE FRONT PASSENGER AND THE REAR PASSENGERS MAY WIND THE WINDOWS DOWN DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE DRIVER WAS ONLY ABLE TO WIND THE WINDOW DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DUE TO THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE AUX FUNCTION SHORTED PREMATURELY SO WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ATTACH A DEVICE, IT MAY OR MAY NOT CONNECT DUE TO AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL SHORT IN WHICH IT MAY NOT RECOGNIZE THE DEVICE (PHONE, MP3, TABLET OR IPAD/IPOD). AN ABNORMAL NOISE PROGRESSED FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND UPON A MECHANICS INSPECTION, IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE UPPER CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SWITCH PANEL AND RECOMMENDED TAKING THE VEHICLE FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING ON THE INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THERE WAS ALSO PROGRESSION OF PREMATURE RUST UNDER THE FRAME IN WHICH THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED COATING THE FRAME TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER RUSTING UNDER THE VEHICLE.
