4 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2015

My dash has large gaps/cracks in the dashboard. These range from the windshield all the way the front piece of trip. The dash is completely separated. Right in the center of the dash, around the airbags, and the other smaller parts or the dash are cracked too. I use a sun shield, so that is not the case. My daughter and I have both cut our hands on the dash. She was so surprised when she got in the truck that she asked if I had a wreck, and then ran her hand over the dash and cut her palm ad two fingers. I also cut my hand while trying to clean it so that stuff does not drop down the crack, such as dirt or dust, can't that start a fire with the wires and the heater down there? another thing is my vents don't wok like they are suppose to. The dash is so broken you can hear sounds of plastic vibrating and blowing in the vents. This directly effects the air flow to, it's like its not even connected. This all happened while the vehicle was in the garage stationary not running.

5 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2015

Dash cracking by air bag.

6 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2014

I have owned my 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 for a few years now and am concerned about a safety issue with the vehicle. I noticed recently that the dash board is cracked in several places. I have never been involved in an accident and the vehicle is mostly garage kept. What concerns me is the cracking that is around the passenger side air bag and the possibility of the cracked pieces becoming projectiles if the airbag were to deploy. Once I found out that these cracks were present I did some research and found that this is a common trait among 2007-2013 gm trucks. I have seen pictures online on the gm truck forum and on a dedicated facebook page regarding many other owners who have vehicles with these cracks. Some of them even own vehicles in the 20,000 mile range. I wanted to bring this to your attention, and let you know that this is a common problem which could become a safety concern for many gm truck owners. To my knowledge there is no recall at this time.

7 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2012

The front dash on our truck cracked. It is a very large crack and I am concerned about the safety of my family since the airbag is located inside the dash. There should be a recall since all that is offered is a discount on the exact same dash that will do the exact same thing. Please force GMC into a recall!.
