Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a 2013 Gmc Sierra Denali. The dashboard by the passenger airbag plate began to crack about 7 months ago and the crack is growing quickly. There are thousands of general motors vehicles doing this and they will not recall it. It can cost around $1,000 to have it fixed. I am worried the crack will continue to grow and if the airbag ever deploys the dashboard will bust into many pieces and cause serious injuries. This is some bull crap that there are so many vehicles from 2007-2013 that are doing this and nothing is being done. Make them fix this.”
NHTSA complaint #11013555, filed 2017-08, 57,000 miles“The dashboard is cracking over multiple places - including the instrument cluster and by the passenger airbag - I am concerned that this will potentially cause splintered pieces of plastic to be shot into the cabin during a crash - the part over the instrument cluster is already starting to splinter. A quick internet search has found multiple complaints about this issue - so it must be a manufacturer defect.”
NHTSA complaint #11195284, filed 2019-04, 93,000 miles“Dashboard is cracked on passenger side at left corner of airbag. I have seen this has been an ongoing problem with GM makes and models. Even though this truck has only 32,000 miles on it presently it is out of warranty. This should not happen at 32,000 miles for any reason.”
NHTSA complaint #11065770, filed 2018-01, 31,000 miles“The dash is cracking severely, there are 2 critical cracks 1 at the passenger airbag and 1 at the gauge cluster. The whole dash vibrates and bounces which is a safety concerns for both driving because it draws attention when driving and also this is a structure area that hosts the speakers, airbag, and other trim. This is not considered trim this is a structural area that is needed to hold the dash area together safely.”
