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.

"GMC DASH RECALL" MY 2008 GMC SIERRA DASH IS CRACKING AND I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON GOOGLE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. THE DASH IS CRACKED IN SUCH A WAY THAT AT A CERTAIN ANGLE I CAN SEE WIRES EXPOSED FROM THE AIRBAG COVER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL TO FIX THE CRACKED DASH.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. ONE CRACK IS ALONG THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE SECOND IS ALONG THE DRIVERS SIDE IN FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT GLUSTER. THE FIRST CRACK APPEARED AS I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY AND THE OTHER WAS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIRBAG CRACK COULD CAUSE SHARP PIECES OF THE DASH TO PROJECT IN THE CASE OF A DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL. MY DASH IS CRACKED NEXT TO THE AIR BAG. IF THIS AIR BAG GOES OFF BEFORE IT IS RECALLED PLASTIC PARTS FROM DASH MIGHT HARM THE DRIVER AND OR PASSENGER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ALL FOUR POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. FIRST THREE FAILED BEFORE REACHING 30000 MILES. DEALER ADVISED THEY WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I ARGUED WITH THEM, BY THE TIME MY TRUCK HAD 50000 MILES ALL FOUR HAD FAILED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE MILLIONS OF VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. GM WANTS $300 PER DOOR TO REPAIR. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY THEM $1200 FOR SOMETHING I PAID FOR WITH THE PRICE OF THE TRUCK.
