DASHBOARD CRACKED AT PASSENGER AIR BAG AND AT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES WILL BECOME SHRAPNEL DURING AN ACCIDENT AND AIR BAG INFLATION

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2011 GMC SIERRA DENALI 1500 HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD, THEY HAVE APPEARED SIGNIFICANTLY WITHIN IN THE LAST YEAR AND GOTTEN MUCH LARGER TO THE POINT WHERE A "HOLE" HAS OPENED UP DUE TO A PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD BREAKING LOOSE AND FALLING INSIDE OF THE DASH CONSOLE. THE CRACKS AND LOOSE DEBRIS HAVE CAUSED ME CONCERN BECAUSE IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY DURING A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO FLYING DEBRIS/ SHRAPNEL FROM THE DASHBOARD. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT IS AN AESTHETIC ISSUE WHICH WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER ANY KIND OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ITS OWN FACEBOOK PAGE AND PLENTY OF DOCUMENTED CASES ONLINE. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE SOME DASH BOARDS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS AT A REDUCED COST. HOWEVER, THIS STILL SEEMS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT PERSONAL INJURY INCLUDING AND UP TO LOSS OF LIFE COULD BE A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL , DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, CONCERNED IF AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY THE BROKEN DASH COULD BECOME FLYING PROJECTILES. MAJOR SAFERY ISSUE THAT G MC WILL NOT FIX.

DASHBOARD ON MY GMC SIERRA DENALI HAS 2 MAJOR CRACKS. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THESE VEHICLES DASHBOARDS. FIRST CRACK IS OVER THE GAUGES ON THE DASH, AND THE SECOND IS RIGHT OVER TOP OF THE AIR BAG. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH NO RECALLS OR ASSISTANCE FROM VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS. THE CRACKS ARE EITHER STARTED VIA DRIVING AND CRACKING DUE TO VIBRATION OF THE ROAD, OR THEY CRACK FROM PREMATURE WEAR VIA THE SUN FADING THE MATERIALS. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, SEEING HOW IF THE AIR BAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT WILL SEND MANY SHARP PIECES OF DASHBOARD PLASTIC INTO THE PASSENGER OR MYSELF THE DRIVER. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX, AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE RECALL OR ADDRESS.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH GETTING MY AIRBAG FIXED?

THE DASH CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT THIS AND SAID IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. FEARING PLASTIC PIECES FLYING IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, I PAID TO HAVE THE DASH REPLACED. LATER, I DROVE INTO A POTHOLE AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE SECOND DASH CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOT. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS MY FAULT AND THAT THERE ARE NO SAFETY CONCERNS. GM IS AWARE OF THIS AND IS UNWILLING TO PAY FOR A NEW DASH. THEY ARE JEOPARDIZING THE LIVES OF MY PASSENGERS SO THAT THEY DO NOT LOSE PROFITS. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY GM SO THAT LIVES ARE NOT UNNECESSARY LOST.
