Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The dash board of my vehicle has cracks in it. More and more cracks are beginning to develop over the airbag. I am worried about the airbag deploying with sharp plastic pieces pointing at it. I think this is a hazard to all drivers. Every GM truck/tahoe from 2007-2013 (that I have seen) have these ugly and dangerous cracks in them.”
NHTSA complaint #10873905, filed 2016-06, 20,000 miles“I have a 2007 Gmc sierra extended cab z71. The truck is approximately 2 years old with 20000 miles. The truck has been driven in the northeast for its entire life. The frame on the truck from the front to the rear as well as many of the components underneath the truck have become extremely rusted. I have spoken with many dealers and they say this problem is caused by the road salt and snow/ice that comes with the northeast winter. …”
NHTSA complaint #10293457, filed 2009-11, 16,000 miles“While driving the vehicle at a rate of 20 MPH and started stopping and notice the brakes where going out. I had then lost brake pressure altogether. Used the parking brake to get stopped after putting the vehicle into neutral. I had the truck towed to my local independent mechanic and he checked the vehicle and found all the brake lines to be rusted out, and had lost all brake fluid. Upon finding this he found the majority of the undercarriage to have severe rust damage an several parts also.”
NHTSA complaint #10483887, filed 2012-11, 64,540 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10870178, filed 2016-05, 110,000 miles“The dash on the 2007 Gmc sierra has cracked. This could have an affect on the air bag when deployed. The air bag could be cut by the pieces of plastic. This also should not happen especially when it cost around 1000 dollars just to replace. This has happened over time due to poor manufacturing plastic product.”
