DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. IN A CRASH OR AIRBAG INFLATION, LOOSE SHARDS OF DASHBOARD PLASTIC MAY BECOME HAZARDOUS FLYING DEBRIS OR THEY MAY PUNCTURE AND/OR CUT THE AIRBAG PREVENTING PROPER AIRBAG INFLATION AND DECREASING THE AIRBAG'S EFFECTIVENESS.

TAKATA RECALL - NHTSA RECALL #16V381 CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TOLL-FREE LINE IN JULY 2016, THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER. TOOK MY TRUCK TO POWELL WATSON GMC DEALER IN LAREDO, TEXAS ON JULY 2016 AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT GM HAD NOT YET FIGURED OUT A REPLACEMENT PART AND THAT A REPLACEMENT PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES, AND I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. I FEAR THE AIRBAG COULD GO OFF AND SEND FLYING PLASTIC DEBRIS. GM SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I DOUBT IT WOULD BE ANY LESS SAFE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THEM OFF. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, AND MY FIRST TIME DRIVING AT NIGHT I HAD TO PARK, GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CHECK TO SEE IF THE LIGHT BULBS WERE BURNED OUT. THE BULBS WERE NOT BURNED OUT, BUT THEY ALSO DO NOT FUNCTION AS HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY ILLUMINATE NOTHING. I CAN SEE THE SHADOW OF MY TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME IN OTHER VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS AS THEY PASS ME. IF AN OBJECT, AN ANIMAL, OR A PERSON WERE IN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME I DOUBT I WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THEM BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE. I BELIEVE A SIERRA EQUIPPED WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS WILL LIKELY BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR EVEN DEATH. I CAN ONLY PRAY AND HOPE THAT I'M NOT ONE OF THEM. GM HAS RELEASED A TSB WITH AN EXPENSIVE PROCEDURE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM SIGNALING TO ME THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A PROBLEM EXIST. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
STEERING WHEEL SPRINGS/SNAPS (HARD) IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT THE WHEEL IS BEING TURNED AND STEERING CONTROL IS LOST. WHEN THIS DOES NOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN STEERING CONTROL IS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS DOES CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF THE STEERING IS RESTORED WITH THE RESTART. THE STABILI TRAK INDICATOR APPEARS JUST FOR AN INSTANT ON THE DIC WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE 'SERVICE STABILI TRAK' INDICATOR BUT MORE LIKE STABILI TRAK HAS BEEN ACTIVATED INDICATOR. THIS HAPPENED FIRST IN REVERSE WHILE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT. (THREE TIMES IN REVERSE). THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING IN DRIVE, TWICE WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN AND ONCE WHILE DOING 15-20 MPH TURNING ONTO A SIDE STREET. THE 15-20 MPH TURNING INSTANCE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF, STEERING BECAME NON EXISTENT FOR AN INSTANT AND THEN VERY VERY HEAVY. I CROSSED THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC AND ALMOST LANDED IN THE DITCH. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR A TOTAL OF 14 DAYS, BOTH TIMES 'CANNOT DUPLICATE' WAS THE RESULT. NO CODES ARE BEING GENERATED FROM THESE INSTANCES. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. LOOSE VOLTAGE OR HIGH RESISTANCE TO GROUNDS MAYBE. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN HOT AND COLD WEATHER, RUNNING AC OR HEATER OR NEITHER. THERE IS NO PATTERN. PLEASE HELP.

THE VEHICLE DIC DISPLAYED "PARK ASSIST" AND AFTERWARDS THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD...NO LIGHTS OR SOUNDS WHEN I TRIED TURNING THE KEY TO RESTART IT. LIFTED UP THE HOOD AND ALL THE ELECTRONICS CAME BACK ON AND VEHICLE STARTED. DIC PROMPT DISPLAYED "OPEN AND THEN CLOSE THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW" HAD VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. *TR
