The dashboard has major cracks around the airbag and the cluster areas. When you spend 45,000 or more on a vehicle you expect a quality product. I sold my BMW 750 li and purchased this GMC Sierra 1500 denali 2011. I have viewed multiple videos of people having the same concerns and/or issues after I purchased this vehicle this clearly a defective part that GM does not want to address. America is better than this. I know this does not matter but I will never purchase another american vehicle and have purchased a lot of vehicles domestic and foreign. Let's do the right thing!

Cracking around the air bag with the dash which could turn to shrapnel in the even the airbag deploys.

- Mobile, AL, USA

My truck has developed a crack on the dash, starting at the top left-hand corner of the front passenger airbag. It has cracked entirely through to the dash trim piece roughly 3-4 inches away. Not only is it a tremendous eye-sore, that most of my passengers notice and comment on... but has me extremely worried about safety. If this vehicle were to be in a collision and the airbag is deployed, I am sure that fragments of plastic would be propelled through the interior of the vehicle as the airbag fired. I have contacted my local dealership, and they state it is not covered, and have quoted me a repair cost of just over $1,000. This defect in the dash piece seems to be a recurring incident in a lot of 2007-2013 GM trucks. My dash pops and creaks while driving, and I can't afford the insane replacement costs associated with this repair. GM needs to take a closer look at this situation.

Cracks on both the corner of the passenger air bag and on the driver's side above the instrument cluster. One on driver's side is about 6 inches long.

Cracked dash in several places, including around airbag. Concerned about safety.

- Saint Rose, LA, USA

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

My truck has developed several cracks in the dash. One in particular on the passenger airbags which leads me to feel very unsafe. If the airbag is deployed, what's to prevent the dash from shattering and cutting the airbag rendering it useless or worse, the dash becoming shrapnel?

- Mobile, AL, USA

Dashboard is cracked directly adjacent to the air bag, this is happening to a large number of GMC and Chevy owners, I am concerned that plastic pieces of dashboard will become dangerous flying objects in the event of an impact that deploys the airbag. I have been talking with GM and the local dealership for 3 months now and they will not accept responsibility.

- Elizabeth, CO, USA

I was driving down the interstate at 65 mph and heard a pop. I looked over and my dashboard had cracked right next to the airbag. On a non related instance my engine is now making a ticking noise that I will be taking to a dealer to check out.

- Elizabethtown, KY, USA

A crack has appeared on the top left corner of where the airbag is. Failure in this area should be a cause for concern and during airbag deployment, this weak point could be an area of projectile. A number of other vehicle owners of the same vehicle have the same issue, and this should be considered for a recall due to safety concerns....updated 03-10-16
