I have a 2010 GMC Sierra 2500 hd. The dash is cracked up in several pieces. I can pull these pieces up and see under them. If I am involved in a accident. These pieces could come out. These pieces are sharp and jagged. This truck has been parked under a shed and has not been involved in a accident. I was driving and noticed the dash making a vibrating noise. I looked and saw these cracks.
I have a 2010 GMC Sierra 2500 hd. The dash board is cracked up in several pieces. I was driving and noticed the dash making a vibrating noise. Looked and saw the dash cracked up. My truck has always been under a shed. It has not been involved in a accident. The dash is cracked in pieces that I can pull up. If I am in an accident,these pieces will come out. They are sharp and jagged.
There are two cracks on the dashboard. The first crack is above the instrument panel on the left side of it. The second crack is above the airbag in the left hand corner on passenger side. Truck is garage kept and not a daily driven truck it spends most of its life in the garage out of sun. The dashboard plastic is a cheap material compared to the slightly flexible plastic that is on the doors. There are thousands of complaints with various models of gm and chevy with this exact problem in the same spots throughout the internet. There was not a specific incident in which I recall for the dashboard to crack. But the ease at which the dash has seemed to crack, the location of one around the airbag and the amount of complaints with this issue makes it seem like it is possibly a hazardous defect that could cause pieces of the dash to become shrapenal in the event of a crash or airbag deployment given the cracks are located directly in front of the driver and directly in front of the passenger around the airbag.
Dash board cracking not sure when it happened looked at on date below and has a dash mat since new.
