Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There are 3 major cracks on my dashboard, two of which eminate from the passenger airbag opening. I see where there are literally thousands of complaints about this. The dash board now moves up and down and rattles. This is definitely a manufacturers defect which must be addressed by manufacturer through a recall. The cracks just appear out of nowhere. I take exceedingly good care of car but replacing an entire dashboard because of poor design should be covered by manufacturer. Thank you.”
NHTSA complaint #11254312, filed 2019-09, 195,000 miles“The hatch door will not stay open in cold weather. Even at a temperature in the 60's, it opens and then closes and is very forcefully, even knocked me in the head and kept shutting. It is always stationary and only in cooler weather, all other times it works correctly.”
NHTSA complaint #11372977, filed 2020-11, 175,000 miles“Have a 2008 Gmc Yukon Xl 1500 that was bought brand new form dealership. Over the years of ownership have heard a popping or snapping noise on occasions in the front dash panel. Then two weeks ago heard it again then witnessed the dash crack open on the top left side which has caused the dash panel to wiggle free and also cracked at the mounting point. This happened while driving on a major city street. Thought the dash was going to shatter from the noise it made. Had to pull over thank god it did not come out while driving and cause me to wreck. …”
NHTSA complaint #10958540, filed 2017-03, 84,356 miles“My driver side back glass (quarter panel long glass) spontaneously exploded this morning with my young child in her car seat. No one was nearby, the car was in park. Nothing caused the glass to break it just randomly occurred.”
NHTSA complaint #11424158, filed 2021-07“Large dashboard cracks near airbags. Apparently widespread problem among GM products. I do not know if this will affect airbag safety or not. No incident involved yet.”
