2008 GMC SIERRA 2500 Complaints

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG AND OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. MY CONCERNS ARE THAT UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, SPLINTERS FROM THE BROKEN DASH WILL BECOME PROJECTILES, HURTING OR KILLING THE OCCUPANTS. ALSO WORRIED THAT SOMEONE MAY GET CUT WHEN RUNNING THEIR HANDS OVER THE DASH, SUCH AS A CHILD OR CAR WASH EMPLOYEE. HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH GM AND THEY ARE UNINTERESTED IN REPAIRING IT, STATING THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, IT'S A CONSUMER SAFETY ISSUE. DASH'S IN GM'S TRUCKS YEAR 2007-2013 ARE CRACKING BY THE THOUSANDS. GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.

I GOT A RECALL NOTICE JULY 2015-IT IS NOW ALMOST MAY 2016! I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND WAS TOLD NO FUTURE DATES TO GET THIS RESOLVED- ARE YOU SERIOUS? ITS CAUSED DEATHS! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK SINCE I GOT THE RECALL, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!

TAKATA RECALL- NHTSA RECALL #15V324, MANUFACTURER RECALL #N150438: THIS RECALL WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION IN MAY 2015 AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FURTHER ON RECTIFYING THE RECALLED PART. SINCE THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM TO ME OR MY FAMILY, IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A LITTLE BIT AGO BUT I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO GET IT CHECKED DO TO MY CRAZY SCHEDULE. YESTERDAY WHILE MY TRUCK WAS SITTNG IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING AND THE KEYS WERE NOT OR NEAR THE TRUCK. THERE IS NO DAMAGE OR MARKS OF ANY KIND TO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHOWING ANY SIGN OF IMPACT TO TRIGGER THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. I CALLED AND SPOKE TO GM AND THE RESPONSE WAS PRETTY MUCH THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TRUCK IS NOW SITTING AT A LOCAL DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SPOKE WITH GM ALSO AND SAID THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK INTO IT BUT SOUNDED LIKE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO COVER IT EITHER. THIS IS A PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT FAILED IT SHOULD NOT EXPIRE WITH THE WARRANTY!!!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V324000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 2008 GMC SIERRA WILL GET STUCK ON, INDICATING TO OTHERS THAT I AM BRAKING WHEN IN ACTUALITY I AM NOT. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES.

TRUCK WOULD ONLY BURN 12-14 GALLONS OF DIESEL BEFORE GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY. LEVEL SENSOR WAS THE PROBLEM. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKS BY AIRBAG. CONCERNED IT MAY PROJECT SHARP PLASTIC PIECES INTO PASSENGER CABIN IN EVENT OF COLLISION AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING MERGING ON I-70 OUTSIDE OF LONDON OHIO MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING VERY LOUD EXHAUST SOUND. AFTER INSPECTION FOUND THAT DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WHERE BROKE OFF ALLOWING UNFILTERED EXHAUST TO PASS. IF LEAK WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO BAD THE HIGH TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE EXHAUST ALSO BROKE WELDS OFF THE EXHAUST CAUSING THE EXHAUST TO FALL THE BREAK IS WHERE THE H-PIPE COME TOGETHER. *TR
