2008 GMC SIERRA 2500 Complaints

DRIVING AROUND A CORNER WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED ITS SELF IN POSITION CAUSING THE TRUCK TO NOT TURN, ALMOST AS IF WHEN YOU SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN THE WHEEL IT LOCKS IN POSITION. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE ROAD AND HIT A TREE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DID DEPLOY.

DASH BOARD SEVERELY CRACKED,SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, GMC REFUSES TO REPAIR AGAIN. IF AIRBAG GOES OFF ENTIRE DASH WILL LIKELY EXPLODE.

FAULTY HOSES SWEATING OUT TRANSMISSION AND STEERING FLUIDS. REPLACED ONCE BY DEALERSHIP, THEN AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AFTER DEALERSHIP USED SAME OEM PARTS THAT FAIL. DASHBOARD CRACK TOP LEFT CORNER OF AIR BAG PANEL TAKATA DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT ALL THREE COMPLAINTS ARE SIMILAR TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER VEHICLES

TAKATA RECALL: THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE AIRBAGS IS OUT OF BUSINESS AND I WAS TOLD MY DEALER CANNOT REPLACE MY AIRBAGS.

PURCHASED OUR 2008 GMC 2500HD FROM CLASSIC GMC NEW. HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN TEICE TO TRY TO GET THEM TO REPLACE THE CRACKED DASHBOARD. THEY ADMIT IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. THEY DID SAY THAT GM HAS PAID TO REPLACE SOME DASHBOARDS OR PAID PARTIAL IF STILL IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. OF COURSE BY THE TIME WE REALIZED IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. WE RECENTLY (DEC. 2017) TOOK THE TRUCK TO CLASSIC TO GET A TRADE-IN VALUE & THEY ONLY OFFERED $13K BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED. SO, HOPING THERE IS A CLASS ACTION FILED. THE CRACKING CERTAINLY WILL BE A FACTOR IF THE AIRBAG EVER DEPLOYS.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JULY 2015 SAYING PARTS WERE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING SINCE. I DO NOT THINK IT SHOULD TAKE MORE THAN 2 YEARS TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. TODAY I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT TAKATA IS FILING FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY, SO WHAT ARE OUR CHANCES TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED? I AM QUITE DISTURBED THAT GM WOULD LET A PROBLEM LIKE THIS TO CONTINUE THIS LONG. I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL GM CUSTOMER EVER SINCE I PURCHASED A 1951 CHEVY BACK IN 1958. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE!!

CRACKED DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 SIERRA 2500 HAS THREE EXTREMELY LARGE CRACKS, ONE OF WHICH TIES INTO THE AIRBAG. ALL OF THE CRACKS APPEARED SPONTANEOUSLY. IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, THESE DASHBOARD PARTS WOULD BECOME THE EQUIVALENT OF SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING AROUND IN THE CAB OF MY PICK UP. GMC IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD SAFETY PROBLEM AND WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1200 TO REPLACE THE DASH WITH ANOTHER ONE THAT IS IS KNOWN TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING. THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.
