problem #2

Sierra 1500 SLE Crew Cab 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 16,000 miles

Poor design by GM and cheap plastic to have a weak spot by air bag in dash. This was replaced under warranty but broke again 2 years later in the same spot by air bag. This time in 2013 I bought a coverlay dash cover made from ABS plastic and still no problems as of Nov. 2022.

Sierra 1500 SL 4.3L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 121,625 miles

There are two small cracks in the dash on the driver side. The cracks are very small and are not noticeable. I'm not sure when or how the dash cracked. Not an issue for me.
