Carrier/rack problems of the 2013 GMC Sierra 1500

When the dealership installed the passenger airbag due to a recall the dash cracked while they were working on the truck.

My GMC Sierra 1500 has numerous cracks across the upper dash that have appeared over the life of the vehicle. I attempted to have the dashboard replaced under warranty but was denied. I recently had the passenger airbag replaced due to a recall. The dealership refused to replace the dashboard, and when they replaced the original cracked dashboard, many of the cracked pieces did not line up, leaving the dash looking further damaged. Please force GMC to offer a recall of the substandard dashboard, or replace the dashboard during the replacement of the airbag.

A crack suddenly appeared at the corner of my dashboard and the dashboard air bag cover that opens when deployed. I have parked my GMC in the garage every day since I brought it home from the dealer. I use a windshield reflector when parked outside at the market ect. . . I have read on line that there is a major problem with this happening to owners of like GMC's and year mine is a 2013 Sierra 1500. It appeared suddenly for no reason. I feel it can affect the air bags ability to deploy correctly affecting mine or my family's safety if in an accident. I would think gm should repair this issue at no charge to me, it's a manufacture defect.

The dashboard has cracked in several places, and I believe, it is going to effect the air bag system and dashboard wiring, which could lead to the passenger air bag not deploying or engine stalling at speed because of pieces of dash falling into the wires.

Cracks on upper hard plastic dash panel just to the left of the passenger air bag. Worried that if the bag deploys it will cause hard plastic shards to fill the passenger compartment. Another crack has developed just to the left of the steering wheel in approximately the same place. Had this also happen on a 2009 GMC yukon which we have since sold.

My dashboard is cracking/cracked on my 2013 GMC sierra. Getting worse and worse. I have noticed similar complaints online. A lot of them. Looks to me like a manufacturer defect. Therefore, I am filing this complaint.

The dashboard has severe cracks in front of the driver above the instrument panel and also around the passenger airbag. These cracks are resulting from a poor design and not from any accident or misuse. This is a well known issue with this vintage of truck and has affected many owners. This is a safety concern because in the event of a accident that deploys the airbags, the manufacturers defective dashboard would shatter and yield projectiles within the cabin area. The dash requires full replacement and cannot be repaired.

I parked at my place of work, I put my windshield shade up as I do everyday, and when I came outside to go home I noticed a crack on the dash on the upper left dash section by the airbag, I'm worried if the airbag were to deploy the dash could splinter sending pieces of sharp plastic at the passengers.

Dash developed terrible cracks ! rear door handle broke loose.

My complaint is for the cracked dashboard just above the forward left corner of the passenger side airbag compartment. The dash cracked for no apparent reason; there is no known cause. My concern is both cosmetic and safety. Not only should a vehicle less than 5yrs old not have a cracked dashboard, but since the dash is cracked directly adjacent to the air bag compartment, and is apparently prone to cracking, there is the potential for the dash to splinter and project small pieces of plastic into the body of passengers if the airbag were to be deployed.

Dashboard is cracking near the passenger side airbag.

I took my truck in for service to find the heater core was bad. To replace, the dashboard would have to be removed. I already had a small crack in the dash located right above the passenger airbag. After service was performed at the dealership, the dashboard now has two more cracks in it. The dealership said I will have to pay 40% and the clock in now ticking. The longer I wait, the less GMC will pay to replace. Even though the service advisor told me that GMC is having trouble with the dash cracking, peeling, etc.

A crack has developed on the right corner of passenger side dash that borders the passenger side dash airbag. Several people I work with have developed the same problem in their gm trucks as well. If the bag deploys more than likely the bag will tear due to the sharp crack edges and because of the force shards of plastic dashboard will be flying shrapnel inside the cab. I refuse to have my children sit in the passenger side let alone an adult. When do you plan on making this issue a safety recall? when pieces of dashboard and airbag blinds somebody?.

Large cracks are forming on the dashboard. One crack is located near the speedomoder column and the other decends from the passenger airbag.

Dash board cracked like everyone else is reporting. . . . Just want to let others know. . . . . . GMC dealer replaced mine. . . No charge because it is a known problem.

The dashboard has cracks in multiple places. . . Concerned about flying plastic piece if airbag is deployed.

Dashboard cracked could affect air bag when deployed.

I have a couple cracks on my dashboard around the passenger airbag. I asked the dealer to replace it for free. They want to charge me 300 dollars.

Cracked dashboard the dashboard of my GMC sierra as a vertical crack running directly next to the passenger side airbag. This happened suddenly while at a stand still. My concerns is what happens should my truck endure a crash. I worry that the broken dashboard could interfere with the performance of my airbag.

The dashboard suddenly cracked near the passenger side airbag. It appears to be in the corner of the airbag where, if deployed could possibly damage the airbag causing a malfunction which could result in serious injury or death. As of now, I am not aware of any recalls for this however, I have found an article where gm is not claiming responsibility for cracked dashboards.

Cracked dashboard top left corner of passenger airbag .

Passenger and back seat in the crew cab are coming off of the brackets. I took my car to dealership and they could find a problem. I ggogled problem and there are many customers with the same issues. The seats are coming away frombthe clamps or bracket to hold the seats secure. This is unsafe. I have a rattling andbclick clacking sound while drive in motion over rough roads or bumps.

The dash formed a crack starting from the passenger airbag overnight. It continues to grow daily. I am worried if the airbag was to deploy it would cause the dash to break, shooting pieces throughout the truck.
