Dashboard is cracked on both sides near the airbag system. Safety concern should the airbag deploy causing shards of defective dash to act as projectiles injuring the occupants of the vehicle. This is a common problem with GM vehicles from 2007 to 2013. Vehicle was parked when crack was first observed.
Takata recall: I have asked the dealer to replace the dangerous airbags five or six times in the past year & a half as well as telephoning GMC corporate office twice. They keep telling me they don't have the replacement airbags. Consequently, they leave me, my family & passengers in danger of severe injury or death. How can I force them to replace the airbags?
Received letter from GM July 2016 about recall. Called dealership that sold me the vehicle. They said, GM has not come up with a repair yet. The dealership would call to set up repair appointment once they know of repair and parts on hand. Called dealership 10/26/2017 still no clue about repair procedure or parts. They will call once repair is known. Why isn't this safety issue fixed yet?
Dashboard crack near passenger airbag. Safety issue in my opinion. Numerous other complaints not vehicle specific. Many Chevrolet dashboard issues. Facebook page dedicated to GM crack dash issues
Dash cracked right above airbag only 40 thousand miles on truck. It's known to be a widespread problem with these vehicles and could cause a safety concern being by airbag
We has our truck in for repairs 5 weeks prior due to the airbag light coming on. It was repaired but now the light came back on. We brought it back in and now are being told the wires are corroded propbably from moisture (we live in the desert where it does not rain, nor is it exposed to moisture). The airbag has to be replaced and is costing us over $800.
The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that the check air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that door air bag sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
We were making a stop at the light, when a 18-wheeler didn't stop and hit us in the back, pushing us towards the bus that was in front of us, making the glass of the back break and throwing all the crystals in our body and clothes, the air bags never open, the front seats were broken and 3 of the 4 doors couldn't close anymore, the driver tried to make a move to the left or right, but he could not, because we were stuck, when we realize there were no major injury, we stayed until the red cross came to check our condition, but there were crystals everywhere so we couldn't move without hurting ourselves. We buy the truck with 2 miles, we are the only owners.
I was driving into the parking garage at work to a parking spot. As I braked and slowed turning into the parking spot the truck accelerated and crashed into a concrete support beam. Airbags deployed and the truck suffered quite a bit of damages to the passenger side front end. I am unsure of speed at time of accident.
Car pulled out from gas station into path of my vehicle striking it in left rear quarter panel and left rear wheel. My truck spun to the left striking a semi truck totaled my truck heavy front end damage. Injury to my stepson who was the driver. Air bags never deployed nor did seat belts keep him in place allowing him to hit his head on the roof of the truck cab
