Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The dash is my truck has started to crack. From research on the internet I see this is a fairly common occurrence. The dealer said it is not covered although I have an extended warranty. I am unsatisfied with GM and feel this crack dash could be a hazard if an accident were to occur. I would love a compromise from GM to at least offer to pay some of the cost of replacement, if not all of it.”
NHTSA complaint #10661003, filed 2014-11, 47,000 miles“2010 Gmc Sierra crew cab pick up truck. Dash panel cracked on upper right corner of passenger side air bag. Upper left corner cracked a couple of weeks later. Gmc refuses to admit that there's a problem even though the cracked dash panels have been documented on several different message board and facebook groups.”
NHTSA complaint #10676951, filed 2015-01, 38,000 miles“Vehicle has cracked dash in area of passenger air bag which could possibly cause shrapnel if airbags are deployed.
