AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE DASH, STARTING AT THE TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT HAS CRACKED ENTIRELY THROUGH TO THE DASH TRIM PIECE ROUGHLY 3-4 INCHES AWAY. NOT ONLY IS IT A TREMENDOUS EYE-SORE, THAT MOST OF MY PASSENGERS NOTICE AND COMMENT ON... BUT HAS ME EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY. IF THIS VEHICLE WERE TO BE IN A COLLISION AND THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, I AM SURE THAT FRAGMENTS OF PLASTIC WOULD BE PROPELLED THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE AIRBAG FIRED. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY STATE IT IS NOT COVERED, AND HAVE QUOTED ME A REPAIR COST OF JUST OVER $1,000. THIS DEFECT IN THE DASH PIECE SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING INCIDENT IN A LOT OF 2007-2013 GM TRUCKS. MY DASH POPS AND CREAKS WHILE DRIVING, AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE INSANE REPLACEMENT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPAIR. GM NEEDS TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS SITUATION.

ISSUE: HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIGHT FOR NIGHT DRIVING. UNLESS DRIVING IN A WELL LIT NEIGHBORHOOD, THESE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE SAFE LIGHTING FOR DRIVING. I CAN NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE WARRANTY ONLY PROVIDED DIFFERENT LIGHT BULBS WHICH ARE NO BETTER. THESE HEADLIGHTS NEED RECALLED IMMEDIATELY!

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CRACKED DASH ON OUR 2010 GMC SIERRA. THERE IS A SMALLER CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND A VERY LARGE CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND IT KEEPS GETTING BIGGER. THE BIG CRACK ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL RATTLES A LOT WHILE DRIVING AND VERY IRRITATING. THE BIGGEST ISSUE WE HAVE REGARDS SAFETY. IF WE WERE IN A WRECK AND THE AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY WITH THE DASH CRACKED THAT BAD, WE FEAR THAT IT WOULD SHATTER IN MANY PIECES. WE HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THE TRUCK, IT IS GARAGE KEPT AND A SUN SHIELD USED WHEN PARKED IN THE SUN. IT HAS 58,000 MILES AND IS A 2010. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN AND BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD REPLACE IT, BUT AFTER MANY CALLS TO GM DIRECTLY, THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE REPLACED.

SUSPENSION
REAR CENTER LEAF SPRING BROKE ON DRIVERS SIDE AND THEN TURNED AND HIT BODY, A MONTH OR SO LATER PASSENGER SIDE DID THE SAME THING. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM , THEY EVEN SEND A LETTER SAYING SO. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THESE BROKEN LEAFS ARE FALLING OUT TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I AM WRITING REGARDING AN ISSUE WITH MY 2014 GMC SIERRA. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN 2014 AND HAVE NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND IN THE RAIN. THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH ILLUMINATION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IS THERE A SERVICE ISSUE OR RECALL IN PLACE TO FIX THIS ISSUE? I HAVE REQUESTED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS IN MY 2014 SIERRA BE REPLACED WITH THE 2016 HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALER IS WILLING TO CHANGE THE BULBS IN THE LAMP BUT NOT REPLACE THE LAMPS SAME AS THE 2016 MODEL UNLESS THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALL. I AM STILL WORKING WITH THE DEALER AS WELL AS GMC CORPORATE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I AM BEEN FLASHED BY OTHER DRIVERS TO INDICATE I DON'T HAVE HEADLIGHTS ON BUT THEY WERE ON AS WELL AS BEING PULLED OVER BY THE HIGHWAY PATROL WHO THOUGH MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ON. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER COMPLAINTS ON GMC MESSAGE BOARDS AS WELL AS OTHER PLACES ONLINE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE TO SEE IF IT CAN BE ADDRESSED. THE ONLY WAY GMC WILL ADDRESS IT IS BY RECALL OR LAWSUIT.

SERVICE BRAKES
THANKFULLY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT, I WAS BACKING UP AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. THE BRAKE LINE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT BURST. I HAVE MY TRUCK AT A LOCAL SHOP AND ITS GOING TO COST AROUND $1500 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES. THE COST IS MOSTLY LABOR. IF LOOSE THE FRONT BRAKES, I WOULD EXPECT THE REAR BRAKES TO WORK BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I AM THANKFUL I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR PULLING A TRAILER. I COULD OF GOT HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. GM NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE QUALITY OF PARTS USED IN THEIR VEHICLE ESPECIALLY SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS BRAKES.

THE DASHBOARD SUDDENLY CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IT APPEARS TO BE IN THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG WHERE, IF DEPLOYED COULD POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE AIRBAG CAUSING A MALFUNCTION WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. AS OF NOW, I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS FOR THIS HOWEVER, I HAVE FOUND AN ARTICLE WHERE GM IS NOT CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR CRACKED DASHBOARDS.

MULTIPLE CRACKS ON THE DASH BOARD. THE EDGES OF THE PLASTIC ARE VERY SHARP AND COULD BE HAZARDOUS IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. THE FIRST CRACK APPEARED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE JUST ABOVE THE AIR BAG. IT IS NOW CRACKING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE HAD CHUNKS OF PLASTIC FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE FALL THROUGH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND STEERING COLUMN TO THE FLOOR.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS EQUIPPED FROM THE FACTORY ON THESE VERY EXPENSIVE TRUCKS ARE DANGEROUS. WHEN DRIVING IN CONDITIONS OF LOW LIGHT, THERE IS SUCH LITTLE ILLUMINATION FROM THE HEADLIGHTS THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID A COLLISION DUE TO MINIMAL REACTION TIME. BOTH THE HIGH AND LOW BEAM DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING FOR DIVING SAFELY IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS. THESE ARE THE MOST POORLY PERFORMING LIGHTS I CAN REMEMBER EVER HAVING FROM ANY MANUFACTURER.

AIR BAGS
THE DASH ON MY TRUCK BEGAN CRACKING AT AROUND 36,000 MILES AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE AS MY TRUCK WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD MANY ADDITIONAL CRACKS AND HAVE HEARD THAT THE CRACKED DASH ENDS UP BREAKING APART AND BECOMING SHRAPNEL IN THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AND I THINK GM SHOULD OFFER RECALL AND INITIATE A FREE OR REDUCED COST REPLACEMENT OF THESE DASH PANELS TO PREVENT INJURIES.
