Was driving in motion straight during icy conditions on freeway and truck slid out of control and I drove through ditch never stopped once and side air bags deployed and seat belts all froze up and ceiling fabric was ruined and torn from deployed airbags. I never hit anything and continued to drive right back onto highway.
Large crack on upper left hand side of passenger side airbag dashboard. Truck used on hard surface roads. Truck is parked in garage. Crack showed up without malice. Concerned about possible dashboard shattering if and when airbag is deployed in the event of a collision causing harm to driver/passengers.
There is a crack on the dash that runs along the compartment housing the passenger side air bag. This crack could potentially tear the airbag upon deployment making it useless in the event of a crash. The dealership informed me this was a common occurrence and it could be replaced but that the replacement may crack due to body shifting during operation and sun exposure. Now the dash is beginning to crack in other places (stress fractures). Not sure when these cracks started whether the vehicle was in motion or stationary.
Drivers side airbag not working. Paid 100. 00 to have it checked and it has recall. Unable to use horn or cruise control. Worried if in an accident will not have drivers airbag.
Dash cracked around the passenger side air bag.
Passenger side airbag sensor light default. Diagnostic shows airbag passenger side. Fails inspections due to this. This is when it's moving, stopped, stationary. I have been told numerous times that it's airbag recall but not on your VIN. This has been going on over 1 1/2 years now. We have recd notice of recall and VIN # still notlisted.
The dashboard has cracked at the top left of the passenger side airbag. This was noticed the other day while driving. Vehicle is very well cared for.
Cracking plastic dash on upper left corner of passenger side air bag. Seems thousands of other people have same issue.
Takata airbag, still no resolution for this by gm. The dash on the pick up also have the same cracks that thousands of owners have experienced around the passenger side airbag and across the driver side as well. I have repaired it multiple times for it only to crack in new places. It began cracking with only 30,000 miles on it.
