Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My dash is cracking and some of those cracks are right near the passenger air bag. I'm concerned during a crash if the air bag is deployed, the dash could splitter causing fragments to fly at occupants faces and/ or puncture the air bag rendering it useless.”
NHTSA complaint #11354119, filed 2020-09, 95,000 miles“The dash is cracking right above the steering column and next to the passenger airbag. They're very significant cracks that have exposed what's under the dash. I have more pictures that the system wouldn't allow me to upload. Available upon request.”
NHTSA complaint #11243241, filed 2019-08, 110,000 miles“I purchased this vehicle new in 2012 ,it has 32,000 miles on ,it one owner, one driver, always in the garage. Yesterday the drivers side door handle literally came off in my hand. It is composed of a flimsy piece of plastic which broke and rendered the door unusable. This is an extremely dangerous situation if this were to happen and you cannot access the vehicle due to a wreck or access your children or simply get into your car in an area where you need to get in quickly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11361490, filed 2020-09, 32,000 miles“The dashboard is cracked on driver side with plastic pieces falling down into dash, dashboard is also cracked on passenger side on the corner of the airbag. This is a known issue and I want it fixed. I feel that the airbags ability to deploy on passenger side is compromised if an accident occurs. I bought this vehicle with thoughts of being safe for me, my wife and two small children. Gm has said they are not going to fix it, this is my last plea for help. Replacing is expensive but feel like it's defect in vehicle design(evident by how many complaints I found). …”
NHTSA complaint #11297854, filed 2020-01, 40,000 miles“The dashboard is cracked in several places because the brackets under the dash are broken due to vibration during every day driving. As I searched for a repair kit from Gmc, I found there are thousands of Gmc owners who have this same issue in their truck/SUV. The suggestion the Gmc website offers is for the owner to disassemble the dash, fix the crack with a hot staple gun and epoxy, then reattach the dash. I am shocked this is their suggestion which would involve unplugging 3 or 4 major functions of the vehicle. I would assume this should be done by a certified Gmc repair center. …”
