Got in my truck for work and discovered the dash was cracked!! Sitting still overnight and the dash cracks!!! If a lemon law is for lemons, it should not matter if it's a safety issue or not and it should be covered by gm!!! It's time for gm to step up - who's going to make them?

The dashboard has major cracks around the airbag and the cluster areas. When you spend 45,000 or more on a vehicle you expect a quality product. I sold my bmw 750 li and purchased this gmc sierra 1500 denali 2011. I have viewed multiple videos of people having the same concerns and/or issues after i purchased this vehicle this clearly a defective part that gm does not want to address. America is better than this. I…

There is no recall on my vehicle, yet the dealership sent me a notice saying there was a recall. This is highly misleading and caused me to believe something was unsafe about my truck, considering the document from the dealership says it's a safety issue.

A visible and concerning crack appearing in a corner of the passenger airbag dashboard. No personal -whether intentional or not- damage has been made to the dash. I have been the sole owner of this truck since it was bought new. It was found one morning as i was getting ready to leave. Is very noticeable.

My sierra has two cracks in the dash, one in the middle and the other from the airbag to the vent. This is very common in gm trucks from 2007-2013, with the crack from the airbag to the vent being the most common. There is a facebook page dedicated to this defect with thousands of examples. I believe this could be a safety hazard if the airbag deploys and sends plastic shards throughout the cab.

This is the third gm vehicle of this year model range that i have owned. All 3 have resulted in catastrophic cracking of the dash, all three in either exact, or close to exact locations. These cracks are connecting to the airbag, and connecting to the instrument panel right in front of the driver field of view. I have pointy shards of plastic and holes in the sierra i currently own. I am no engineer, however i am…

The dashboard is cracked and continues to crack even more. The vehicle is hardly driven and is parked in the garage out of the sun. It is not a daily driver but only used on the weekends for fun. The cracks are getting bigger and i'm concerned about the safety of the air bags.

Cracked dashboard without collision or any impact. The heat and cold continue to crack the dash and i am certain the entire dash will explode if any airbag is deployed or collision is experienced.

I purchased this 2011 gmc sierra denali in july of 2014 from an individual, and there was a small crack on the dash alongside the passenger side air bag. In the last 2 months, this crack has enlarged so that the crack is wide open in the dash and i am afraid in a collision that the dash will crack further and shards of plastic will spray on myself or passengers. This is a safety concern, and this needs to be…
