THE DASH ON THE 2007 GMC SIERRA HAS CRACKED. THIS COULD HAVE AN AFFECT ON THE AIR BAG WHEN DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG COULD BE CUT BY THE PIECES OF PLASTIC. THIS ALSO SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COST AROUND 1000 DOLLARS JUST TO REPLACE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING PLASTIC PRODUCT.

AIR BAGS
THE DASH IS CRACKED, THERE ARE TWO CRACKS WHERE THE AIR-BAG IS, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR-BAG. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND INVOLVES SEVERAL MODELS AND SEVERAL YEARS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. SEVERAL PEOPLE REPLACED THEIR DASHES AT THEIR EXPENSE ONLY TO HAVE THOSE CRACK ALSO.

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.
