Seven problems related to dashboard crack have been reported for the 2011 GMC Sierra. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a issue with my dashboard cracking along the airbag module door. I believe if I was or involved in a accident and the air bags are deployed the pieces of dash can become fragments and cause excessive injury and also could deflate the airbags upon expansion. Causing more injury than deem necessary.
Dash has been cracked completely through on passenger side by airbag, now I have a crack just above instrument cluster. Vehicle only has 47,000 miles and the cracks just appear out of no where. The vehicle is not driven off roading or anything like that it is immaculate other then now cracked up dash. It's never been in an accident.
Dashboard is cracked in multiple spots. Paint seems really thin. Original paint never been abused. As for dashboard I guess its a common thing right by the air bag and driver side. Scary to think about a collision and shards of plastic flying toward your face.
Dash board is cracking in three places . The most concerning one is around the passengers air bag. My passenger could be impaled with pieces of the dash if the airbag were to deploy.
Dashboard is cracked around speaker and passenger side airbag. Noticed it around 75k miles and has spread significantly over the year.
Dashboard crack above steering column and above passenger side airbag. This issue poses safety concerns regarding whether the airbag will be punctured or otherwise ineffective during deployment due to the sharp cracked edges of the dash as well as the potential for shards of cracked dash becoming projectiles causing injury to occupants during a collision. Nothing happened to the vehicle. We were driving down the freeway and noticed the crack. The cracks become larger everyday.
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.
