Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I entered my vehicle I noticed a crack on my dashboard leading to the passenger airbag panel. The crack leads to the top left of the airbag panel. The vehicle was stationary, located in my driveway. This is a safety concern. Will this interfere with deployment of the air bag? In the event of deployment, will the dash come removed and injure a rider? Will the plastic shards cause bodily harm?”
NHTSA complaint #10875841, filed 2016-06, 99,629 miles“Takata recall. My denali has fallen ill to the well documented poorly engineered dash cracking, in my case around passenger airbag open. This creates an eminent personal injury safety hazard to front seat passenger. If a situation arose whereas air bag was activated, as airbag cover ejected, the dash becomes an instant instrument of capable of great bodily harm or even death, as shrapnel fills the cabin, from disintegrating dash plastic flying back, in certain injury to passenger. Gm is well aware of the defect, yet refuses to acknowledge.”
NHTSA complaint #11120014, filed 2018-08, 103,480 miles“I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden a message on the dashboard said ''engine power is reduced and my engine shut off, brakes were hardly working and I could hardly steer or turn the wheels. My car copmletly lost control and I was lucky there were no cars by me otherwise an accident would have been inevitable. When I went to the dealer they told me they have no answer and they suggested to replace my ignition switch and camshaft sensor to begin with. No guaranty that it'll fix my problem they said. Reading online forums looks like I am not the only one. …”
NHTSA complaint #11002421, filed 2017-06, 230,000 miles“Dashboard cracked 2 years ago was replaced while under warranty after installation the dash cracked again one year later. The dealer will not honor a waranty when this is actually a manufacturer defect. This is a safety concern since it is cracked near the airbag. If it wee to ever deply pieces of broken plastic would become projectiles.”
NHTSA complaint #10764532, filed 2015-09, 70,000 miles“Dashboard is cracked on both the drivers side and on the passenger side to the airbag compartment. Did not have any accident or other damage, it just cracked. I am concerned that were the airbags to deploy that the dashboard fragments would become projectiles.”
