general problems of the 2011 GMC Sierra

2011 GMC Sierra. Consumer writes in regards to passenger side frontal airbag safety recall. The consumer stated the dealer has not been provided the necessary parts to repair the vehicle.

The dashboard in my 2011 GMC Sierra denali 1500 has multiple cracks in the dashboard, they have appeared significantly within in the last year and gotten much larger to the point where a "hole" has opened up due to a piece of the dashboard breaking loose and falling inside of the dash console. The cracks and loose debris have caused me concern because if the airbags were to deploy during a motor vehicle accident the occupants of the vehicle would be subjected to flying debris/ shrapnel from the dashboard. I contacted my local dealership and they stated that it is an aesthetic issue which would not be covered under any kind of warranty. This is a known issue with its own facebook page and plenty of documented cases online. Gm has acknowledged there was a problem and has offered to replace some dash boards on a case by case basis at a reduced cost. However, this still seems to be unacceptable due to the fact that personal injury including and up to loss of life could be a result of this defect.

Dashboard on my GMC Sierra denali has 2 major cracks. This is a known defect with these vehicles dashboards. First crack is over the gauges on the dash, and the second is right over top of the air bag. This is a serious issue with no recalls or assistance from vehicle manufacturers. The cracks are either started via driving and cracking due to vibration of the road, or they crack from premature wear via the sun fading the materials. It is a very serious safety concern, seeing how if the air bag were to deploy it will send many sharp pieces of dashboard plastic into the passenger or myself the driver. This issue needs to be addressed, it is a very expensive fix, and a safety issue that needs an immediate recall or address.

Takata recall my vehicle is affected by this recall I have called numerous dealerships and they all tell me gm don't have a fix yet so because of this issue does this mean my vehicle falls under lemon law since it's 8 years old and the problem can't be fixed thanks takata I love my denali.

My dash has two cracks that have developed one is at the top of the air bag and may splinter or break apart when air bag is deployed.

Dashboard cracked at passenger air bag and at instrument cluster broken plastic pieces will become shrapnel during an accident and air bag inflation.

A fews ago, I notice a crack on the front dashboard, near the air bag, in the passenger side. Im concern due to the safety on my vehicle with my kids and my wife. I don't know if the air bag will deploy at anytime or an any impact. Very concern with this safety issue.

First off would be my dashboard air bag, the dashboard plastic is cracking with the concern on flying debris I brought my GMC 1500 into my local service/sales center and he told me with out a recall there is nothing he could do for me. Second I have been dealing with what seems to either the power train or brakes from day one I purchased my truck. What it does is when I come to a complete stop, release the brake, and then apply the accelerator I get a big cur plunk sound and feeling of the truck jerk. This is coming for the rear end of my truck I would assume the rear axial. I have brought this up to my local service/sales center , multiple times. He has not stopped the problem and tells me there is not much more he can do without the manufacturer posting a bulletin out.

Dashboard cracking severely above instrument cluster. Dashboard rattling severely causing dash to vibrate and cover to airbag to vibrate substantially. Concern that dash will completely fall causing air bag failure in crash.

What is going on with getting my airbag fixed?.

Dash cracked may cause hassarad due to air bag.

Dash has a crack near the passenger airbag. I understand this is a defect.

Takata recall , dash is cracked in several places, concerned if airbags would deploy the broken dash could become flying projectiles. Major safery issue that g mc will not fix.
