Dashboard Crack problems of the 2009 GMC Sierra 1500

I was driving and noticed the dash was cracked and it's jyst getting bigger and bigger.

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that there were several cracks on the dashboard and air bag compartment there were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to bill smith Buick 1940 2nd Ave NW, cullman, al 35055 (256) 734-4472 where diagnosed that the dash needed to be replaced however was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 110,000. Ap.

Takata recall severe cracks originating from the top left corner of passenger airbag. Airbag looks like it has a bulge causing the dashboard to crack. Concerning that airbag will deploy and pieces of plastic will injure the passenger or driver of pieces are deployes all over the cabin.

The dash has cracked, specifically around the passenger side air bag, which raises concern that debris upon impact may cause injury or cause the airbag to malfunction. This vehicle has never been in a collision. The cracks progressively worsen over time. GMC refuses to offer assistance for this repair because it is outside of warranty and we are not the original owners. The cracks have appeared since owning the vehicle. This happened out of the blue, overnight, while the vehicle was parked.

Dashboard cracking, drivers side about 5" of cracks, passengers side cracked behind airbag. Truck never been in an accident, truck was stationary when discovered. Always garage kept or shaded with dash cover if in sunlight.

The vehicle contains takata airbags that an open recall was started 3 years ago for but a decision has never been made. The dash has now cracked near the airbags. If the airbags deploy they could cause shrapnel from the dash to be put into the cabin. There is an open lawsuit in the us and canada with gm in regards to the dash. The vehicle is also displaying intermittent airbag service error messages. Gm will not diagnose the airbag issue for free and want's anywhere from $150-$250 simply to read the code plus whatever the repair would cost. Gm also wants $1500-$2000 to replace the dash. Gm has deemed this vehicle "safe" but will not stand behind that "safe" designation by diagnosing the airbag issue for free. The airbag service light started off very infrequently and has started to become more frequent. I have also been cut by the dash on multiple occasions, which presents a huge safety hazard. Gm corporate will not give any timeline to a resolution and will only pay for repairs once the NHTSA forces them into a recall. A "safe" vehicle does not injury it's users or report errors with its safety systems frequently.

Cracked dash above the instrument panel and by the passenger air bag. Could cause a safety hazard if the airbag was deployed and is not aesthetically pleasing considering the money spent on the vehicle.

Cracks appeared on dashboard above instrument panel and passenger airbag. Crack next to airbag appears to be safety hazard as it could puncture the airbag during deployment or the plastic could easily break and be launched as a projectile.

Dash is cracking at three points. Two are located at the passenger side air bag and the third is at the instrument cluster.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that the dash board had developed cracks and some of them were located directly over the passenger air bag. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 36,015. Pm.

Cracked dash. . . This appears to be a known problem with gm, but no resolution has been provided by the manufacturer as of yet. This issue poses a serious concern that pieces of plastic could become dangerous projectiles in the event of a crash and/or airbag deployment.
