Carrier/rack problems of the 2009 GMC Sierra

Three problems related to carrier/rack have been reported for the 2009 GMC Sierra. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2015

The dashboard has substantial cracking. The vehicle has been garage kept and has not had any chemicals used to clean the dashboard since it was purchased new. I'm worried about the effectiveness of the airbags if they were to come into contact with the sharp plastic edges of the cracks when they deploy. I'm also concerned about broken plastic pieces becoming airborne in the cab in the event of an accident, as I usually have my 3 young children in the back seat.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2014

The dashboard is cracking across from the drivers side all the way to the passenger side air bag.

3 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2014

My dashboard is disintegrating. It started with a few hairline cracks, but now there are fist sized holes in my dashboard, and it is full of crasks. If I was in a car accident, I would have a face full of plastic shards.
