PASSENGER SIDE DASH IS CRACKING RIGHT BEHIND THE AIR BAG. HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE FIXED IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF 2014. ALMOST 3 YEARS LATER THE NEW DASH IS CRACKED. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2007-2013 GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S. I JUST NOTICED THE CRACK YESTERDAY DECEMBER 11TH, 2016. THE CRACK HAS STARTED WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THAT I CAN RECALL.

DASH IS CRACKED AT FORWARD LEFT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING AND RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AREA. EXTREME CONCERN THAT. IN THE CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG AND/OR BECOME FLYING SHRAPNEL/DEBRIS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGER.

THE DASH OF THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED AROUND THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT PIECES OF THE DASH MAY BECOME MISSILE HAZARDS IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIGHWAY MILEAGE. A CURSORY SEARCH OF THE INTERNET FOR CAUSES OF THE CRACK REVEALED THAT THIS IS AN ON-GOING ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE THAT IS BEING IGNORED BY THE GM CORPORATION.

ENGINE
AT ~ 54,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION AND LOST COMPRESSION ON TWO CYLINDERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIGHWAY MILEAGE OF ABOUT 30 MILES/DAY ON AVERAGE AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE EXTENT THAT CYLINDERS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP 25 DAYS TO REPAIR. A COWORKER HAD THE SAME ENGINE ISSUE ON HIS CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH THE SAME 5.3 LITER ENGINE AT ~ 45,000 MILES. A CURSORY SEARCH OF THE INTERNET WILL REVEAL THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF OWNERS COMMENTS THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED BELIEVE THAT IT IS CAUSED BY THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAILING TO PROPERLY LUBRICATE COMPONENTS WHEN THE ENGINE CYCLES BETWEEN 4 AND 8 CYLINDERS. GM DISAVOWED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THESE INCIDENTS WHEN CONTACTED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP DISAVOWED ANY KNOWLEDGE ALSO ALTHOUGH I PRESENTED THEM OVER A DOZEN PAGES OF GM OWNERS GROUP WEB PAGES WITH DESCRIPTION OF THE SAME ENGINE FAILURES. HOWEVER, WHEN THEIR MECHANIC WAS QUESTIONED AS TO WHETHER HE WAS REPAIRING THE PROBLEM OR MERELY EXCHANGING DAMAGED PARTS, HE REPLIED "IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME". THIS TELLS ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE FIRST THAT THEY HAVE SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL - IN ADDITION TO THE WIDESPREAD AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUE, I AM AMONG THE MANY, MANY OTHER 2010 GMC SIERRA TRUCK OWNERS WHO HAVE A CRACKED DASH. THE CRACK BEGINS ON THEFRONT, LEFT SIDE OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, AND EXTENDS TO THE FRONT OF THE DASH (TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD). WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A FATAL DEFECT, ONE WOULD THINK THAT AN NHTSA SPONSORED INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED BY NOW! I MEAN, IT'S ONLY BEEN 6 YEARS!!!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER MONTHS OF PURCHASING MY VEHICLE WHICH IS A SIERRA DENALI MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN HALF. THE PURGE VALVE AND THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL SYNDICATOR SENSOR HAS BEEN CHANGED ABOUT 5 TIMES. WHEN I PUT VEHICLE IN MY TRUCK IT WON'T START ON ITS OWN THE STARTER JUST KEEPS TURNING OVER TO FIND OUT BY THAT THE SENSOR UNDER THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE CHANGED NOW. I HEARD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT IS WHY THEY CHANGED THE SYSTEM ON IT, BUT MY TRUCK WAS NEVER CHANGED. THE DEALERSHIP ACTS LIKE MY COMPLAINTS WERE SENSELESS AND AFTER A YEAR MY WARRANTY HAS RAN OUT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS WILL JUST BARELY MOVE WHEN TURNED ON. I PUT NEW MOTOR AND NEW SWITCH BUT NEITHER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I FOUND IT WAS THE WIPER TRANSMISSION (LINKAGE) WAS FROZE UP,RUSTED AND HAS WATER IN IT. ORDERED ONE FROM DORMAN AND THERE IS NONE IN STOCK. CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A 2010 VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL. DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING ON BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THEIR VEHICLES AND USED TO HAVE A SOLUTION IN PLACE WHERE THE CUSTOMER WOULD PAY $100 AND THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PAY THE REST TO HAVE IT REPLACES BUT HAD SINCE DONE AWAY WITH THAT DEAL. I IMAGINE CAUSE IT WAS COSTING THEM MORE THAN THEY HAD THOUGHT. ASKED IF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT AND AFTER SPEAKING TO A REPRESENTATIVE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ALSO DID NOT COVER THIS DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE ON MY TRUCK AND HAVE CALLED THREE DEALERSHIPS BUT NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP WITH A LOANER UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. THEY ALL SAY MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I UNDERSTAND HUMIDITY PLAYS A ROLL IN THE AIR BAGS. I LIVE IN MENA AR. WE GET BETWEEN 50 AND 60 INCHES OF RAIN YEARLY WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND AFTER 5 + YEARS LIVING HERE I HAVE A VERY LARGE CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT THEM AT RISK FOR INJURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH, BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AIR BAG. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP US GET A DRIVABLE VEHICLE UNTIL THEY CAN REPAIR OURS.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND PARTICULARLY AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THERE IS NO REAL WAY TO REPAIR THIS. WHEN WE SPEAK TO GM DEALERSHIPS, THEY TELL YOU THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM AND ARE WILLING TO REPLACE THE DASH BUT THEY WILL CHARGE EXORBITANT AMOUNTS TO DO SO. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT THE DOOR HANDLES ARE NOT SAFE. ONE OF THE REAR DOOR HANDLES HAS ALREADY BROKEN. IF YOU PULL ON THEM JUST THE SLIGHTEST BIT TOO HARD, THEY CRACK ON THE INSIDE, CAUSING THE HANDLE TO FALL OFF AND BE INOPERATIVE. ONCE AGAIN, GM IS AWARE OF THE FAULTY PARTS BUT WILL NOT RECALL ON THIS MATTER. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE SAFETY CONCERNS AND ARE WIDESPREAD. I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE BECAUSE ONCE MY DASH STARTED CRACKING, I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SURE ENOUGH, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS VERY WIDE SPREAD. THERE ARE EVEN AFTERMARKET COMPANIES THAT HAVE STARTED TO MAKE PLASTIC DASH COVERS TO FIT DIRECTLY OVER OUR DASHBOARDS JUST BECAUSE IT IS SO WIDESPREAD. GM MUST RECALL THESE TWO DEFECTS. KINDLY INVESTIGATE?
