Above the instrument panel and front left of the passenger air bag. If airbag goes off shards are going to fly at faces. Safety hazard if the airbag was deployed and is not aesthetically pleasing making a fine gm vehicle look sloppy

The panels over the rear wheels are both rusting through. Bubbles on the paint as it rust to the surface. Truck is not driven during winter snow months it stays in garage over the winter months. Surprised it would rust through already. Is there any body warranty for rust before 10 years?

Dashboard cracked in two places. The passenger side cracked on the portion covering the passenger air bag. I am worried that if inflated, the plastic shards will impale any passenger. Also the dashboard cracked on the driver side above the instrument cluster. It is beginning to cave it.

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.

Failure of underbody/frame rust undercoating. The undercoating has completely flaked off the frame of my truck with 90k miles. I am the only owner of this vehicle which has been garaged since day one. The vehicle is also rusting thru from the underside of the hood. I have contacted gmc about this issue both in person & on the phone. They have denied any liability in this matter.

I have a large section of my dash pad broken on the drivers side. I also have a crack on the passenger side. This was not caused from abuse but from inferior materials. It appeared sometime in 2015 with about 130,000 miles on it. I have owned it since new. My concern is in the event of a crash, along with the dangerous takata airbags that i'm still waiting to be replaced, will plastic be sent through the air from…

Power door lock failed on driver door. You can not open door with out lifting hand latch. This is very dangerous-- meaning you can not open door by door handle-- there is no override like provided on other vehicles. Other door failed 2 months later. Truck locks and unlocks doors when moving shifter from park to drive, there is no program option to delete this option. So you lock and unlock doors every time you shift…

At 35k the drivers side front door actuator failed and was replaced under warranty. At 40k the passenger side door actuator failed. I was told this is a common problem with this vehicle due to defective parts used by gmc. With no ability to open or close the passenger door from the drivers control, a potential safety issue exists. E.g. Unable to prevent an intruder from entering the car at a stop light, or allow a…
