My service man was pulling out of parking lot at store when air bags exploded and seat belts locked. He did not hit anything and was only going about 10 mph when this happened. Took to local dealer to see if they could fix it. They said yes , but we would have to pay for it. We could contact the manufacturer if necessary. The bill was $1413.89. (parts $798.00--labor 562.59 tax 48.19). We had to get it fixed as it is…

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.

Takata recall was issued by gm beginning 2016 with no resolution imminent. This is 2 years later, still with no resolution. I am afraid to carry a passenger for fear of air bag failure.

Takata recall. It's been over a year since the recall and nothing has been done. How many lives must be lost or persons maimed before someone does something? Gm is stalling, or not moving at all!! Please help!

The plastic around the passanger airbag has started cracking and continues to spread to other areas. I feel this could make for a bad situation with shards of sharp platic being throw at the passanger if the airbag where to be deployed.

At approximately 48,000 miles driving on a paved road, my dash on the passenger side where the air bag is located, cracked. The crack continues to increase in size. I would think it would effect operation of air bag. With as many complaints that are posted to this, i cannot believe its not under investigation.

Had a co-worker with a 2008 that told me about his dashboard crack adjacent to the air-bag compartment. My vehicle has only 22,000 miles and has been garage housed the entire time. I'm afraid that if the air-bag deployed, with the crack in the corner, there could be severe damage to the passenger.
