I have a cracked dash and when I noticed it, it was still under warranty. I took truck to dealership for repair and they said they would not cover it and neither would GM. About a week later$, I took my truck to my mechanic and he said he could fix it for $900 in labor and an additional $600 for the dash itself, for a grand total of 1500. I was so upset about the cost of the whole thing. Now my truck truck is worth even less. I need help in Texas.

Sierra 1500 Denali 6.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 38,607 miles

I purchased a 2011 GMC Denali. For a whole hell of a lot of money. Baby the crap out of this truck and what do I get? A very low mileage piece of crap I have to spent a fortune on getting fixed because the auto industry cares more about the bottom line than the consumer. You know it's bad when there is a Facebook page dedicated to the issue you're having. Why is this not a recall yet?

  • Automatic transmission

The crack is on the passenger side dash and right in the corner of the airbag. I think this could be dangerous if the airbag was to deploy. Too much to pay for a vehicle that the dash cracks on. I think this should be replaced by GM.

I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE CRACKED DASHBOARD OF MY GMC SIERRA 2011 TRUCK, AS IT WAS BUILT TO BE STRONG AND TOUGH. THE DEALER HERE IN QATAR CAN'T FIX OR REPLACE IT. I HAD NEVER SEEN SAME ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER BRANDS EVEN THE KOREAN CAR THAT IS STILL IN GREAT CONDITION COMPARING TO THE GREAT NAME GMC SIERRA TRUCK.

  • Automatic transmission
  • 59,658 miles

It was bad to have a new GMC truck and have the dash crack on it and watch it bob up and down and see it with two crack in it. GMC should have a recall on it because it is a defect in the DASH...you buy a new truck and won't it to look nice, but this happen and you have these big cracks in the dash...you pay a lot of money for them and you expect it to last a long time ..SO FIX GMC!!

  • Automatic transmission

This is the 3rd GM Pickup I've purchased new along with 6 other new GMs (2 Yukons, 2 Z-24's, 1 Gran Prix....) This is the first dash to crack? I got online and found several others with the same complaint.

Sierra 1500 SLE 5.3L

This seems to be a common problem among GM trucks. There should be a recall on this item.

I have a 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali. I noticed a couple of years ago that the dash vibrated a little but didn't really think too much of it. Well, the dash started getting really bad and I recently noticed 4 different cracks (2 in front of the driver's side and 2 in front of the passengers side). I reached out to the dealership I purchased the truck from and they said since there isn't a recall and my manufacture warranty is out I would have to pay $1100 to replace the dash. I am very concerned because 2 of the cracks are around the passenger air bag. In my opinion this is a safety concern.
