The dashboard has cracked in the area of the airbags and instrument panel. The cracks occurred while parked overnight in my driveway. I contacted the local GMC dealer who informed me this was a common occurrence with GMC vehicles. I asked if gm would cover the repair since this was a common problem with gm vehicles. I was informed it was not covered by gm and I would be responsible for the cost of repairs which total approximately $1000. 00. I believe these cracks create a safety hazard and are a result of defective parts installed by gm.

I had to replace entire system from throttle body to the pedal assembly have found out that this is common problem that gm knows about along with the cracks in the dash around air bag on passenger side and the instrument cluster and refuses to recall and fix cracks in air bag housing could pose a safety hazard along with loss of engine power from faulty wiring.

Cracked dashboard near air bag. I have 3 cracks on the dashboard. This is very common ive been reading. Is this a safety issue regarding the air bag?.

In my 2011 GMC Sierra 1500, which is garage kept, I started for work on a rainy day, my windshield began to fog up, I turned on my defrosters, heard a loud pop, and when I looked at my dashboard, right above the instrument panel, I had a large crack in my dashboard. I have seen reports about how there are many complaints on gm involving the same problem. It is my concern that when airbags deploy ( hopefully never needed) that it will increase the amount of shrapnel in the vehicle. I am very upset that I have heard stories stating that gm considers this a cosmetic flaw and not an actual safety issue. Are you kidding me? I work hard for my money, I am forced on a daily basis to stand behind the product or services that I provide. Its time gm does the same.

Dash cracked in two places above instrument panel an in corner of air bag. I don't know if the vehicle was in motion or stationary.

Purchased 2. 5 months from local dealership. Spotless interior. Parked truck in parking lot for about an hour for church and noticed crack above passengers airbag to the left splitting the dash completely. Also bowing to dash branching left of crack. Weather was around 90 degrees and I use a sunvisor and typically crack my windows. Have not cleaned or touched dash in the time of ownership, other than slidding the sunvisor to windshield. Dealership today claimed they cannot and will not do anything about it until GMC issues recall. After researching this is apparently a common complaint in all GMC truck models from 07-13. Concerned with safety of airbag projectiling shards of dash if deployed.

As I was driving down a smooth interstate highway, heard a pop and noticed the dash had cracked at the corner of the passenger air bag and started making a noise. A few days later the same thing happened, but on the drivers side above the instrument cluster. The one crack has become a cut/scrape hazard while cleaning. I assume that it will become larger. Possibly exposing the air bag assembly to damaging heat and sun exposure.

The dashboard cracked around the passenger airbag as well as the steering wheel for no reason. . .

Cracked dash.

Crack on dash above gages as well as above airbag!!.

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.

I purchased a 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 in non. Of 2014. The dash board is now cracking. It initially started by the passenger side airbag and now there is a crack over the instrument panel as well as one starting over the gauges. I have seen several complaints about this and it is a definite safety hazard due to an accident would deploy the airbags sending shards of the dash board flying directly into the passengers of the vehicle.

Dashboard has two cracks. Each crack is about 2 inches long. One of them is on the left side, about 12 inches from the steering wheel. The other crack is on the top-left corner outside of the airbag area. The cracks have been getting bigger in the last few weeks. It appears that if an airbag were to deploy, the sharp end of the cracked dashboard could cause significant injury rather than protection. Normal driving conditions caused it. No known objects have been placed on dashboard to exert such force to cause it to break.

This truck is four years old, has 30,000 miles, is garage kept (never parked in the sun) and the dash has cracked near the air bag area. I am concerned the deployment of the airbag could be affected by the cracked dash.
