37 Carrier/rack problem of the 2007 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 06/01/2015

My truck has a defective dash that has cracked in multiple places for no reason and no rough treatment or anythig that would cause it to break, it cracked and broke all on its own. . . And GMC should be responsible for replacing because it is a safety hazard. This is a defect happening to thousands of these trucks and all the cracks and breaks and in the same exact spots which would seem to be a manufacturer defect not a consumer issue. . . If I were to get into an accident the defective broken dash could seriously injure someone. My truck is also part of the takata recall and I can not go in to get the air bag fixed because it will further break my dash. This dash issue is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed and a recall needs to be made for this issue.

39 Carrier/rack problem of the 2008 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 03/01/2015

Cracked dashboard. The dashboard on my 2008 Sierra 2500 has three extremely large cracks, one of which ties into the airbag. All of the cracks appeared spontaneously. In the event of a collision, these dashboard parts would become the equivalent of shards of glass flying around in the cab of my pick up. GMC is refusing to acknowledge that this is a widespread safety problem and wants to charge me $1200 to replace the dash with another one that is is known to do the exact same thing. There is no resolution to the problem.

41 Carrier/rack problem of the 2008 GMC Sierra 2500

Dashboard cracks by airbag. Concerned it may project sharp plastic pieces into passenger cabin in event of collision and airbag deployment.

42 Carrier/rack problem of the 2008 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 01/01/2014

Dashboard cracked in two places several years ago. I showed this to my local dealer and the told me there was nothing they could do. It cracked by the air bag and the instrument cluster. Very disappointing.

43 Carrier/rack problem of the 2008 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 08/20/2013

Cracks on top of dash as in thousands of others. Link: https://www. Facebook. Com/groups/gmdashcrack/?fref=nf cracks are on passenger top left of airbag and on driver side over left side of instrument panel. Woke up one day and they were both there. Faulty materials which can cause death or serious injury. . Read more...

44 Carrier/rack problem of the 2008 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 07/15/2013

Dash is cracking around the airbag and over the instrument panel. My concerns are that upon airbag deployment, splinters from the broken dash will become projectiles, hurting or killing the occupants. Also worried that someone may get cut when running their hands over the dash, such as a child or car wash employee. Have discussed this with gm and they are uninterested in repairing it, stating the vehicle is out of warranty. I feel this is not a warranty issue, it's a consumer safety issue. Dash's in gm's trucks year 2007-2013 are cracking by the thousands. Gm needs to recall and fix this problem before someone gets hurt or killed.

45 Carrier/rack problem of the 2008 GMC Sierra 2500

Failure Date: 01/15/2013

Purchased our 2008 GMC 2500hd from classic GMC new. Have taken the truck in teice to try to get them to replace the cracked dashboard. They admit it is a common complaint. They did say that gm has paid to replace some dashboards or paid partial if still in the warranty period. Of course by the time we realized it was a common issue the truck was out of warranty. We recently (Dec. 2017) took the truck to classic to get a trade-in value & they only offered $13k because the dashboard was cracked. So, hoping there is a class action filed. The cracking certainly will be a factor if the airbag ever deploys.
