Vehicle will randomly show a warning signal for stabiltrack turning off. Then it will cycle door locks up and down, turn on the air bag light, ABS light, and sometimes reduce power to 20 mph. It will also kill the vehicle gauges. Numerous trips to the shop have failed to correct the issue. A quick google search of stabiltrack 2009 Chevy/GMC will show a ton of hits. Due to the safety concerns of these critical systems powering down, this is clearly a safety issue. This occurs while the vehicle is in motion, which makes it more concerning. This issue started with 66K miles and has persisted. Vehicle now has 96K.

Dash is cracking next to airbase on passenger side and additionally next to instrument cluster. Multiple cases have been reported of this (dealer said it is typical). Some reports are at 80% of the dashes crack in this area. We are at 100%. my wife's 2009 Chevy Tahoe is cracked in the exact same place. In her case, the airbag mechanism is popping out of the dash. Should it need to deploy, it cannot as designed. Both vehicles have been properly maintained and no chemical used on the dash. In the case of the GMC Sierra, it only has 66K miles on it and has never been off road. Dealer and GM have refused to address the issue. Repair cost 1,200. I am taking the Tahoe in next week for repair due to my safety concerns for my wife.
