problem #3

Sep 152015

Sierra 1500

  • 64,500 miles
My Sierra has two cracks in the dash, one in the middle and the other from the airbag to the vent. This is very common in GM trucks from 2007-2013, with the crack from the airbag to the vent being the most common. There is a facebook page dedicated to this defect with thousands of examples. I believe this could be a safety hazard if the airbag deploys and sends plastic shards throughout the cab.

- Newburg, MO, USA

problem #2

Nov 132015

Sierra 1500

  • miles
There is no recall on my vehicle, yet the dealership sent me a notice saying there was a recall. This is highly misleading and caused me to believe something was unsafe about my truck, considering the document from the dealership says it's a safety issue.

- Little Elm, TX, USA

problem #1

Oct 112015

Sierra 1500

  • 37,000 miles
A visible and concerning crack appearing in a corner of the passenger airbag dashboard. No personal -whether intentional or not- damage has been made to the dash. I have been the sole owner of this truck since it was bought new. It was found one morning as I was getting ready to leave. Is very noticeable.
