2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

THERE ARE 4 CRACKS IN THE DASH OF THE TRUCK AND 1 ON THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MY CONCERN IS IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED IT COULD POTENTIALLY SEND PLASTIC FLYING PROJECTILES AND CAUSE BODILY INJURY OR WORSE LOSS OF VISION. GM HAS NOT HAD A RECALL BECAUSE THEY CLAIM ITS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN BUT THERE MUST BE A TEST PERFORMED IN ORDER TO RAISE A SAFETY CONCERN OR WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS HURT

THIS TRUCK IS FOUR YEARS OLD, HAS 30,000 MILES, IS GARAGE KEPT (NEVER PARKED IN THE SUN) AND THE DASH HAS CRACKED NEAR THE AIR BAG AREA. I AM CONCERNED THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG COULD BE AFFECTED BY THE CRACKED DASH.

I NOTICED GETTING INTO MY TRUCK TODAY THAT I HAD CRACKS IN MY DASH IN TWO SPOTS. ONE CRACK IS ABOVE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE OTHER IS ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE, RUNNING TO WHERE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYS FROM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A TREND THAT HAS AFFECTED OTHER GM OWNERS. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY EITHER THEY'D CUT INTO THE BAGS CAUSING THEM TO NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY, AND/OR, SEND SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC FLYING THROUGH THE VEHICLES CABIN--BOTH SITUATIONS COULD HAVE SERIOUS/CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES.

MY CONCERN WILL BE WHAT GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN MY TRUCK IS INVOLVED IN A WRECK AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYS. PRETTY SAD THAT ALL THE MONEY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GAVE GM THEY COULDN'T BUILD A VEHICLE THAT LASTS.
