2010 GMC SIERRA 1500 Air Bags Problems

2010 GMC SIERRA. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SET ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING WHEN THE WHEN THE FIRE OCCURRED.*JS

THE DASHBOARD ON MY TRUCK IS JUST CRACKING ALL OVER. I CONTINUOUSLY CLEAN AND USE SUN SHADES FOR IT. THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

Mileage: 195,000

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNDER A RECALL FOR MANY YEARS AND STILL NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BY GM

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER JULY 2016 FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG. I CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE GARAGE IN EL PASO, TEXAS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE AIR BAGS. SO, THEY COULD NOT REP[LACE THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAG.

HAS BEEN YEARS TRYING TO GET DEALERS TO ACT ON RECALL AND MAKE PRESCRIBED REPAIRS. ALWAYS TOLD "NO FIX AVAILABLE"

Mileage: 100,000

NOT ABLE TO LOCATE A GMC DEALER THAT HAS THE PARTS TO ADDRESS THE RECALL.

DASHBOARD CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG OPENINGS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND MAY AFFECT PROPER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OR CAUSE THE DASH TO FRAGMENT AND HIT OCCUPANTS IN A COLLISION. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE DEALER WOULD NOT CORRECT, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EXPOSED TO ANY EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES OR PROLONGED SUN EXPOSURE AS IT RESIDE IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND WHICH EXPERIENCES 4 RATHER MILD SEASONS.

Mileage: 51,000

CRACKED DASHBOARD - DASHBOARD IS DETERIORATING. NUMEROUS CRACKS. VEHICLE IS PARKED IN THE SHADE 90% OF THE TIME AND ONLY HAS 23,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT. THERE IS A DASHBOARD CRACK NEXT TO THE AIRBAG ON THE DASHBOARD. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE TAKATA INFLATORS AND POTENTIAL SHRAPNEL PRODUCED FROM THE ROTTING DASHBOARD BECOMING AIRBORNE DURING AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS A WEBSITE THAT SHOWS THE MAJORITY OF THESE GM DASHBOARDS ARE DEFECTIVE AND FALLING APART BEYOND COSMETIC APPEARANCE. WHAT KIND OF SAFETY TESTING HAS BEEN DONE IN RELATION TO CRACKED DASHBOARDS CAUSING INJURIES? THERE SHOULD BE A SOLUTION TO THE TAKATA INFLATOR ISSUE AND A RECALL ON GM CRACKED PLASTIC DASHBOARDS. IT IS PAST AUGUST OF 2017 AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING REGARDING THE AIRBAG ISSUE SOLUTION. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS CRACK (BROKEN) CONNECTING THE DEFROST/VALENCE PANEL AND AIRBAG DOOR. CONCERN INVOLVES SHARDS OF PLASTIC/PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

TAKATA RECALL IN JULY 2016, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THAT MY 2010 GMC SIERRA 1500 WAS BUILT WITH DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS. I HAVE CALLED CRABTREE BUICK GMC IN BRISTOL, VA., ONCE IN 2016 AND AGAIN IN SUMMER OF 2017 AND PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME FOR INSTALLATION. I WOULD SERIOUSLY LIKE TO HAVE THE NEWER, SAFER AIRBAG INFLATORS INSTALLED ASAP!!

TAKATA RECALL. WAS CHECKED BY DEALERSHIP OVER 6 MONTHS AGO AND EVERYDAY I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH THESE AIR BAGS PUTS MY FAMILY AT RISK. I WAS TOLD THESE PARTS WERE ORDERED TO FIX MY VEHICLE BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ELSE. I'M VERY WORRIED THAT AT ANY MOMENT THESE AIR BAGS COULD GO OFF.

TAKATA RECALL - NHTSA RECALL #16V381 CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TOLL-FREE LINE IN JULY 2016, THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER. TOOK MY TRUCK TO POWELL WATSON GMC DEALER IN LAREDO, TEXAS ON JULY 2016 AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT GM HAD NOT YET FIGURED OUT A REPLACEMENT PART AND THAT A REPLACEMENT PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. AGAIN ON JAN 2, 2017, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY RESPONDED TO ME THAT THERE WAS NO CURE FOR THE SAFETY AIR BAG ISSUE THAT MY TRUCK WAS BEING BROUGHT IN.

2010 GMC SIERRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO STEERING WHEEL NOISES AND RECALL NOTICE 16V-381 ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A WHISPERING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. *JB

MY DASH IS CRACKED ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG ON CORNER BY AIRBAG WHENT DO DEALER SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO

DASH IS CRACKED AT FORWARD LEFT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING AND RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AREA. EXTREME CONCERN THAT. IN THE CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG AND/OR BECOME FLYING SHRAPNEL/DEBRIS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGER.

Mileage: 82,000

THE DASH OF THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED AROUND THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT PIECES OF THE DASH MAY BECOME MISSILE HAZARDS IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIGHWAY MILEAGE. A CURSORY SEARCH OF THE INTERNET FOR CAUSES OF THE CRACK REVEALED THAT THIS IS AN ON-GOING ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE THAT IS BEING IGNORED BY THE GM CORPORATION.

Mileage: 57,000

DASH IS CRACKING AGAIN. THE DASH WAS REPLACED UNDER THE ORIGINAL 3/36 WARRANTY AND NOW THE REPLACEMENT IS CRACKED. TWO CRACKS IN THE REPLACEMENT. ONE IN FRONT OF DRIVER AND ONE ON PASSENGER SIDE AT THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG.

Mileage: 82,000

TAKATA RECALL - IN ADDITION TO THE WIDESPREAD AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUE, I AM AMONG THE MANY, MANY OTHER 2010 GMC SIERRA TRUCK OWNERS WHO HAVE A CRACKED DASH. THE CRACK BEGINS ON THEFRONT, LEFT SIDE OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, AND EXTENDS TO THE FRONT OF THE DASH (TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD). WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A FATAL DEFECT, ONE WOULD THINK THAT AN NHTSA SPONSORED INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED BY NOW! I MEAN, IT'S ONLY BEEN 6 YEARS!!!!

TAKATA RECALL. DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING ON BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THEIR VEHICLES AND USED TO HAVE A SOLUTION IN PLACE WHERE THE CUSTOMER WOULD PAY $100 AND THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PAY THE REST TO HAVE IT REPLACES BUT HAD SINCE DONE AWAY WITH THAT DEAL. I IMAGINE CAUSE IT WAS COSTING THEM MORE THAN THEY HAD THOUGHT. ASKED IF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT AND AFTER SPEAKING TO A REPRESENTATIVE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ALSO DID NOT COVER THIS DEFECT.

Mileage: 60,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

THE DASH IS CRACKED AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND POSES A SAFETY ISSUED IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD CAUSE PLASTIC SHARDS TO BE PROPELLED CAUSING INJURY.

Mileage: 50,000

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE ON MY TRUCK AND HAVE CALLED THREE DEALERSHIPS BUT NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP WITH A LOANER UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. THEY ALL SAY MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I UNDERSTAND HUMIDITY PLAYS A ROLL IN THE AIR BAGS. I LIVE IN MENA AR. WE GET BETWEEN 50 AND 60 INCHES OF RAIN YEARLY WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND AFTER 5 + YEARS LIVING HERE I HAVE A VERY LARGE CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT THEM AT RISK FOR INJURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH, BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AIR BAG. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP US GET A DRIVABLE VEHICLE UNTIL THEY CAN REPAIR OURS.

NOTICED A CRACK DEVELOPED IN THE DASH, AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SEAM, SHORTLY AFTER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY ENDED. STILL HAD ROUGHLY A YEAR LEFT ON THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OR ANYTHING THEY COULD DO, BUT ALSO STATED THAT THEY HAD SEEN MANY TRUCKS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. 3 YEARS OLD AND THE DASH HAS ALREADY CRACKING??? CONCERNED THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE, IF THE AIRBAG EVER HAS TO DEPLOY. WOULD HAVE REPORTED IT SOONER, IF I KNEW ABOUT THIS SIGHT.

Mileage: 35,400

CRACKED DASH LEFT TOP CORNER OF PASSENGER AIR BAG AREA. SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE ON HERE. REPLACED DRIVERS SIDE SEAT MOTOR AT$132. REPLACED DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR AT $165 WITH LABOR AT $60. REPLACED BOTH DOOR HANDLES AT $89 WITH LABOR AT $60. HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 4 DAYS IN THE AMOUNT OF $285. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN NOV. AND DEC. OF 2015. NONE OF WHICH IS COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM DEALER. ALSO THE PAINT IS BUBBLING AROUND THE REAR CARGO LIGHT. ALSO NOT COVERED UNDER MY "PAINT WARRANTY". AT THE TIME OF ALL THIS HAPPENING WE HAD LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 65,000

THE DASH ON MY TRUCK BEGAN CRACKING AT AROUND 36,000 MILES AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE AS MY TRUCK WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD MANY ADDITIONAL CRACKS AND HAVE HEARD THAT THE CRACKED DASH ENDS UP BREAKING APART AND BECOMING SHRAPNEL IN THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AND I THINK GM SHOULD OFFER RECALL AND INITIATE A FREE OR REDUCED COST REPLACEMENT OF THESE DASH PANELS TO PREVENT INJURIES.

Mileage: 36,500

CRACK ON DASH BOARD NXT TO AIRBAG CONTACTED GMC BUT THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE MATTER IM CONCERN IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS SHRAPNEL WILL FLY INTO MY YOUNG CHILD FACE I NEED THIS TAKEN CARE VERY IMPORTANT MATTER THANKS.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEN TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS DUE TO LOSS OF POWER TO THE AIR BAG MODULE ATTRIBUTED TO CORROSION WITHIN THE UNDER-HOOD FUSE BLOCK.

Mileage: 106,000

AROUND 37,000 MILES A CRACK APPEARED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH, AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE ARE NOW 3 CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AND THESE CRACKS COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A TEAR IN THE AIRBAG DURING DEPLOYMENT, RENDERING THE AIRBAG INEFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING INJURY DURING AN ACCIDENT. FROM ONLINE SEARCHES, IT APPEARS THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DESIGN ISSUE ON THE 2010 MODEL THAT WAS FIXED STARTING WITH THE 2011 TRUCKS. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I FEEL THAT DUE TO THE POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, THE DASHES FOR THIS MODEL YEAR OF SIERRA SHOULD BE FIXED BY GM. *TR

THERE ARE CRACKS ON DRIVERS SIDE DASH & AROUND AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR
