Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dashboard is cracked above instrument panel. The crack is 12 inches long. It is also cracked completely to airbag on passenger side. This causes very loud rattling when driving. I am concerned it affects the quality of the airbag's ability to deploy. I am concerned that dashboard fragments may be propelled in the event of airbag deployment.”
NHTSA complaint #10986037, filed 2017-05, 75,000 miles“The dashboard is cracking near the passenger air bag and behind the steering wheel on the dash. It started cracking when it was approximately 4 years old. Everyone that I have talked to with the same vehicle or similar years is having the same problem. Dashboards should not crack if the vehicle is only 4 years old. And now I have been notified of the takat recall which is located where the dashboard problem is.”
NHTSA complaint #10891664, filed 2016-07, 105,000 miles“The dash is cracked in numerous places. Including the area directly around the passenger side airbag. If the airbag was to deploy, the pieces of the dash would become shrapnel, and inpale anybody in its path! The cracking is caused by inadequate bracing under the dash! This is a known defect by Gmc for at least 8 model years.”
NHTSA complaint #10854413, filed 2016-04, 70,000 miles“All the sudden the dashboard started cracking in two places. One is above the steering wheel and the other is by the passenger side airbag on the dash also. It was just in my garage. Not cracked one day and started cracking the next. There was no damage done to the car it just occurred by itself.”
NHTSA complaint #11031806, filed 2017-10, 150,000 miles“Takata recall very disappointed with Gmc's handling of this recall. I just spoke with a supervisor at cust relations and was told your vehicle is safe . If that is true, why is it on the recall list. Other manufacturers (lexus, toyota, etc) are making accomodations for customer and Gmc is refusing to do so. To date, 10 deaths have occurred. I do not feel my care is safe and my opinion of Gmc has sank to a bottom low. I will not purchase another Gmc vehicle ever again. …”
