My 2010 GMC Sierra has 47,000 miles on it, primarily sits in a temperature controlled garage, and has 3 cracks in the dash. Two of the cracks happned while sitting stationary in the garage. Two of the cracks are connected to the air bag creating a hazard. GMC nor the dealer will take care of this considering a lot of complaints by other owners.

Takata recall. There are no parts to fix my airbags. I live in a hot and humid environment and would like to have the problem fixed. They have not failed yet nor I have I been in an accident where they might be deployed, but I feel like I am driving with a loaded time bomb. Takata is in bankruptcy and there will be no resources to fix the problem. I am getting tired of letters and postcards but not action.

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.
