DASH HAS CRACKED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO THE FRONT OF DASH CAP AND ALONG INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO THE FRONT OF DASH CAP. THIS CAN EASILY CAUSE A PROBLEM SHOULD THE AIRBAG GO OFF. AT THIS POINT I BELIEVE THE CENTER OF THE DASH WOULD SHATTER SENDING SHRAPNEL TO EVERY DIRECTION INSIDE THE TRUCK SHOULD THE AIRBAG GO OFF OR A COLLISION. FOR ME TO REPLACE THIS IS GOING TO COST $1000.00 THIS IS GMC'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR ENGINEERING AND POOR QUALITY. THEY SHOULD FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SPEND $1000.00 ON A $60,000.00 TRUCK BECAUSE THE DASH ISN'T SUPPORTED PROPERLY TO KEEP FROM FALLING APART. BESIDES, WHY SPEND $1000.00 ON A NEW ONE WHEN IT'S JUST GOING TO CRACK AGAIN. STRUCTURAL FLAW!!

DASHBOARD SURROUNDING AIRBAG AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS CRACKING AND ESSENTIALLY DISINTEGRATING. IF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYS OR I'M INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THESE SHARP PLASTIC FRAGMENTS WILL BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS TRUCK HAS 38K MILES AND IS IN OTHERWISE PRISTINE CONDITION WITH ZERO SCRATCHES ON THE INTERIOR PARTS ASIDE FROM THESE DASH CRACKS. THE PLASTIC IS PROTECTED EVERY THREE MONTHS AT LEAST WITH AEROSPACE 303 AND PROTECTED FROM SUNLIGHT WHEN NOT IN USE. THIS IS NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE, IT'S A STRUCTURAL DEFECT. THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED.

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD RIGHT BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON THE INBOARD SIDE. AS THE DRIVER, I AM WORRIED THAT A SHARD OF PLASTIC COULD EXPLOSIVELY TEAR THROUGH MY SKULL, KILLING ME, IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. GMC NEEDS TO FIX THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!!!

THE DRIVERS SIDE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. AFTER REACHING DOWN TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE THE METAL ATTACHED TO THE HANDLE SNAPPED OFF AND I WAS LEFT HOLDING THE PLASTIC HANDLE AND UNABLE TO OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE METAL IS MADE FROM A BIMETAL PRODUCT AND APPEARS TO BE FRAGILE AND LITE FOR THE PURPOSES OF OPENING THE DOOR. INCASE OF AN EMERGENCY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATING SITUATION. AFTER SEARCHING ON-LINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM MANY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING WITH THEIR GMC VEHICLES. I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED, I DID NOT PUT UNDO PRESSURE ON THE HANDLE.

DASH CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT, PIECES FROM THE SURROUNDING CRACKED DASH MAY BE SENT FLYING TOWARDS THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE.

ON 26MAR2017 I NOTICED A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 27MAR2017 AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW FLYWHEEL. I WANTED A SECOND OPINION BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A FLYWHEEL GOING BAD IN MY LIFE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A FEW MECHANICS WE ALL AGREED THAT IT WAS NOT THE FLYWHEEL. ON 4APR I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE TICKING WAS THE FLYWHEEL. THE FLYWHEEL HAD TO HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE AT TIME OF MANUFACTURING. IT JUST CRACKED FOR NO GOOD REASON OTHER THAN IT WAS POORLY MADE. 2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 FLYWHEEL JUST CRACKED OUT OF NOWHERE ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF AN ENTIRE FAMILY AND WHO KNOWS WHO ELSE IF IT HAD SHATTERED.THE VEHICLE WAS TICKING AFTER A MORNING START WHILE SITTING IDLE.

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.

STRUCTURE:BODY
DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS. EACH CRACK IS ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG. ONE OF THEM IS ON THE LEFT SIDE, ABOUT 12 INCHES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE OTHER CRACK IS ON THE TOP-LEFT CORNER OUTSIDE OF THE AIRBAG AREA. THE CRACKS HAVE BEEN GETTING BIGGER IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. IT APPEARS THAT IF AN AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THE SHARP END OF THE CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INJURY RATHER THAN PROTECTION. NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSED IT. NO KNOWN OBJECTS HAVE BEEN PLACED ON DASHBOARD TO EXERT SUCH FORCE TO CAUSE IT TO BREAK.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK WITH ALL 4 TIRES GOODYEAR WRANGLER AT/S 265/70 R17 DOT NUMBER 4BT6 FDER 3411 ON AUGUST 19,2016. I HAVE HAD A SHAKY/BUMPY SENSATION SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK & THE TIRES ALWAYS WORE UNEVEN. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 47,541 AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. ON FEBRUARY 15, 2016 AT A MILEAGE OF ROUGHLY 60,440 TWO OF THE TIRES HAD BELTS BREAK. I HAD THE TIRES CHECKED BY MULTIPLE REPAIR PLACES & WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A TIRE DEFECT. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE TIRES. I BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES OF A DIFFERENT BRAND. I AM UNSURE OF THE MILEAGE PUT ON THE TIRES BEFORE MY PURCHASE, BUT I ONLY PUT AROUND 13,000 MILES ON THEM BEFORE THE ICCURANCE.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY WHEN TOWING A TRAILER. WHILE GOING UP A HILL, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY. WHILE GOING DOWNHILL, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS TO 2ND GEAR WHILE GOING 60 MPH. I HAVE CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES (THEY HAVE IT ON FILE) THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY UNDERSTAND BUT SAID THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW. OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

1 DAY GOT IN TRUCK AND NOTICED THE DASH WAS CRACKED ON DRIVER SIDE BEHIND THE GAUGE CLUSTER AND AS I LOOKED I NOTICED IT WAS ALSO CRACKED AT THE 2 UPPER CORNERS OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 25000 MILE ON IT. GM WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AND I'M WORRIED THAT IT CAN AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE AIR BAGS

DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION (WHILE DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY) THE DASHBOARD ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG CRACKED. IT IS ON THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE FRAMEWORK AROUND THE AIR BAG COVER ON THE WINDSHIELD SIDE. I DO NOT STORE ANYTHING ON TOP OF THE DASHBOARD AND ALWAYS USE AN ALUMINIZED SUNSCREEN PROTECTOR IN THE WINDSHIELD 9 OUT OF 12 MONTHS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE CRACK TO OCCUR (UNKNOWN CAUSE). *TR

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.
