AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST FOR OVER 1 YEAR NOW, STILL WITH NO REMEDY TO FIX IT. THE IDEA THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAG CAN DEPLOY AND INJURE OR KILL MY WIFE OR MY CHILD MAKES ME VERY UNEASY. GMC WILL NOT OFFER A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED AND I NEED TO DRIVE IT FOR WORK. I LIMIT MY VACATIONS WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY. NOT ONLY THAT BUT I CAN'T EVEN SALE MY VEHICLE HAVING THIS ISSUE, AND IT HURTS MY TRADE IN VALUE BECAUSE THERE IS NO REMEDY AND NO OTHER DEALER CAN RESALE WITH AN OPEN RECALL. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE DONE TO ENFORCE THE AUTOMAKERS TO HELP THE CONSUMERS AND CUSTOMERS OUT. THE AUTOMAKERS CHOSE TAKATA AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING ALL CUSTOMERS ON THE ROAD ARE SAFE. WHEN I SPOKE TO GMC ABOUT THIS THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME TOUGH LUCK AND DEAL WITH IT UNTIL ENOUGH VEHICLES ARE FIXED THAT MY TRUCK MAKES THE LIST.

ENGINE
TICKING NOISE BEGAN ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHED ~100,000 MILES. INITIALLY, THE TICKING ONLY OCCURRED ONCE THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. AS TIME WENT ON, THE TICKING BECAME MORE FREQUENT, TO INCLUDE UPON ENGINE START AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER LOAD/ACCELERATING. AT APPROXIMATELY 108,000 MILES, THE TICK BECAME CONSTANT WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. GMC DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED LIFTER, WHICH, APPARENTLY, HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM IN GM 5.3L ENGINES. A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW ENGINE, OR EVEN NEW LIFTERS FOR THAT MATTER, AT 100,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WITH MANY CONSUMERS REPORTING IT AND GM ACKNOWLEDGING IT. VEHICLES WITH THESE ENGINES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO.

2008 GMC SIERRA DENALI HAS 2 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD, ONE BY THE AIRBAG AND THE SECOND OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE DASHBOARD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURES DEFECT THAT GMC IS TOTALLY IGNORING. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE MAIMED OR KILLED BEFORE THEY TAKE REASONABLE ACCOUNTABILITY INSTEAD OF JUST DENYING EVERYONE UNTIL WE GO AWAY? WE NEED GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. THE DASH BOARD RATTLES AND SHAKES OVER EVERY LITTLE BUMP!

I BOUGHT A 2008 GMC SIERRA IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND UPON TAKING OWNERSHIP, NOTICED TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE IS BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE OTHER ON THE LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE AIRBAG. THE CRACKED DASH PIECES COULD BECOME SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS DASH ISSUE IS A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE AND GM REFUSES TO DO A RECALL.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SPEAKER HAS CRACKED THROUGH TO THE AIR-BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THROUGH SEVERAL INCHES OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DASH COVER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE UNTIL THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY VIBRATES WORSENING THE CRACK UNTIL IT APPEARS THAT IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, PIECES OF THE DASH MATERIAL COULD DISINTEGRATE AND INJURE SOMEONE. I'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
MY SERVICE MAN WAS PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT AT STORE WHEN AIR BAGS EXPLODED AND SEAT BELTS LOCKED. HE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 10 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. TOOK TO LOCAL DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX IT. THEY SAID YES , BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WE COULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER IF NECESSARY. THE BILL WAS $1413.89. (PARTS $798.00--LABOR 562.59 TAX 48.19). WE HAD TO GET IT FIXED AS IT IS ILLEGAL TO BE ON THE ROAD WITHOUT SEAT BELTS (OR AIR BAGS). WE FEEL THESE ARE DEFECTIVE PARTS AN D WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICHLE!!!! THANKS
