I took my vehicle to have to air bag repaired and it has a cracks all over the dashboard now. I contacted to representative and was informed this is a Hazzard of this vehicle. It is a known issue but it has not been addressed by the GMC company. How many people have to be injured or killed before it becomes and actual safety issue" Whose life is considered expendable? If it is a known issue and it has been, in good faith, brought to GMCs attention, why has it not been corrected"
My dash is completely cracked in several places, I believe it-€™s a 2 piece dash the section closest to the windshield and the other half has the vents passenger airbag. There is approximately a 1 inch gap between the 2 pieces as well as multiple cracks. Also the rear sensors on the bumper I had replaced one and the part cost me $20 or less. I am disabled and was able to have a friend get under the rear of the truck and change 1 sensor. There still was a code and I had nobody around that could help me and I was due for inspection and thought I may get failed if they see a code. With that I brought my vehicle to Schumacher Chevrolet in Livingston NJ. So they told me I had another bad sensor and I had no way to clear the code so I had them do the repair. They told me the same part I brought for under $20 cost me there almost $300 for the sensor.. Do they have to use their parts or should they had given me the opportunity to get an aftermarket one whether they got it or I got it and then have them finish the job. Needless to say I walked out with a bill around $500. I-€™m permanently disabled and receive a little money from S.Security every months. That cost my 1/3 of my entire check for the month. I always thought they give you an option or aftermarket parts. I-€™ve had other vehicles in my life before I was disabled and always was asked. I-€™m really disappointed in the condition of the dash and the crazy amount for a part. Note I do have a 2008 F-Series Super Duty truck with a little over 108,000 miles and my Suburban only has 89,000 miles yet my Ford dash doesn-€™t have one crack in the dash. I also had a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe and sold that in 2010 and got the new truck I mentioned but I have well over 120,000 miles on it and that didn-€™t have any dash cracks. That should be held accountable obviously it-€™s an issue with the company or how they are making the dash. My 75th Anniv Suburban should not have dash issues with as much as the vehicle costs. Parts are too $$
The front dash had suffered catastrophic cracking and damage from the sun and or heat. The majority of the Dan is so badly cracked and faking apart, a aftermarket dash cover was purchased to cover the unsightly OEM dash.
Truck loses power to engine while driving. I have no oil pressure no fuel no speedometer and no rooms but my battery runs on about 14. Truck will drive at speed it shutsdown at but if U stop it takes a little longer to gain speed. This has did this about 5 times in 2 weeks I had it in the shop 3 times and we are unable to figure it out. If U turn the truck up it will not start U have to unhook the battery to get power back.

We noticed a crack on the dashboard that appears to move between the passenger airbag and the center dash vent on July 11th, 2020. There was a substantial amount of noise "ratlling" from the dash board. On July 18th we noticed that the spa E on the dash under the vent was hanging even lower and more noise.on 7/27/20 we realized the crack continues to spread and the dash is sunk in more. We arw concerned the air bag will not deploy if needed or that further cosmetic injury will happen to the dash. The car was initially stationary outside our home. Each instance the crack is visible as well as the increased space under the vent. The problem became more evident as we drove off each time. We take city streets and highway when driving. This vehicle has never been in an accident. We have owned several makes and models of different vehicles and have no idea why this is happening. We do know we have six children and this is our family car that we no longer feel safe driving.
Cracked dash board. Next to airbag and above instrument cluster. Concerned for proper function of airbag as well as the instrument cluster. It started to crack several years ago and continues to get worse every year.
Dash cracked and fell apart. Had to replace the entire dash board assembly. The dash was cracking as if it was made of glass. A piece of the dash even broke off while I was driving and fell on my lap..
I have read 1,000's of complaints about the dash board cracking. I have a crack above the passenger air bag and now above the steering cluster. There are too many complaints for this to continue to go unattended.
Dash is falling apart, full of cracks; chunks of plastic dash have broken off. Potential safety issue if involved in an accident, especially if dash airbag is deployed. Large sharp pieces of dash will break loose and become projectiles/ shrapnel. I believe sunlight and high heat in parked car has caused this. Not caused by an accident. Definitely a design flaw. Should be recalled.
Dashboard is cracked around airbag and I am concerned if the airbag was ever deployed the broken dashboard would act like shrapnel and injure passengers.
