THE DASH ON THE 2007 GMC SIERRA HAS CRACKED. THIS COULD HAVE AN AFFECT ON THE AIR BAG WHEN DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG COULD BE CUT BY THE PIECES OF PLASTIC. THIS ALSO SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COST AROUND 1000 DOLLARS JUST TO REPLACE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING PLASTIC PRODUCT.

TAKATA RECALL CRACKED DASHBOARD. AT PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ALSO DRIVERS SIDE. MATERIALLY DEFECTIVE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DASHBOARD. DEALER FAILS TO REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. GOING ON MY 3RD DASHBOARD OUT OF POCKET. WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. NEITHER WILL MY FRIENDS OR FAMILY.

THE DASH BOARD OF MY VEHICLE HAS CRACKS IN IT. MORE AND MORE CRACKS ARE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OVER THE AIRBAG. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING WITH SHARP PLASTIC PIECES POINTING AT IT. I THINK THIS IS A HAZARD TO ALL DRIVERS. EVERY GM TRUCK/TAHOE FROM 2007-2013 (THAT I HAVE SEEN) HAVE THESE UGLY AND DANGEROUS CRACKS IN THEM.

MULTIPLE CRACKS ON THE DASH BOARD. THE EDGES OF THE PLASTIC ARE VERY SHARP AND COULD BE HAZARDOUS IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. THE FIRST CRACK APPEARED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE JUST ABOVE THE AIR BAG. IT IS NOW CRACKING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE HAD CHUNKS OF PLASTIC FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE FALL THROUGH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND STEERING COLUMN TO THE FLOOR.

ONE OF THE ELECTRICALLY POWERED, FOLDING EXTERNAL MIRROR ASSEMBLIES BECAME INOPERABLE ON MY 2007 GMC SIERRA 1500 PICKUP TRUCK WHICH LED TO THE ENTIRE MIRROR ASSEMBLY BECOMING LOOSE. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE MIRROR ASSEMBLY WILL SLIGHTLY MOVE BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO ERRONEOUSLY SENSE MOVEMENT OF HIS VEHICLE OR ERRONEOUS MOVEMENT OF AN ADJACENT VEHICLE. THIS FALSE SENSING OF VEHICLE MOVEMENT IS VERY DISTRACTING, CAUSING A DRIVER TO LOSE FOCUS ON THE ROAD AND TO LOSE FOCUS ON THE OPERATION OF HIS VEHICLE. THE CONDITION IS DISTRACTING ENOUGH THAT IT MAY, IN SOME DRIVERS, INDUCE VERTIGO WHICH COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A RATE OF 20 MPH AND STARTED STOPPING AND NOTICE THE BRAKES WHERE GOING OUT. I HAD THEN LOST BRAKE PRESSURE ALTOGETHER. USED THE PARKING BRAKE TO GET STOPPED AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY LOCAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND ALL THE BRAKE LINES TO BE RUSTED OUT, AND HAD LOST ALL BRAKE FLUID. UPON FINDING THIS HE FOUND THE MAJORITY OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE TO HAVE SEVERE RUST DAMAGE AN SEVERAL PARTS ALSO. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAB Z71. THE TRUCK IS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD WITH 20000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE NORTHEAST FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE. THE FRAME ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR AS WELL AS MANY OF THE COMPONENTS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY RUSTED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY DEALERS AND THEY SAY THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE ROAD SALT AND SNOW/ICE THAT COMES WITH THE NORTHEAST WINTER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT THIS RUST WILL LEAD TO CORROSION(ROT) AND SOMETHING MAJOR COULD HAPPEN TO THE VEHICLE AND OR MYSELF. SINCE THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS THIS ISSUE, IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE WITH AGE. *TR
