This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My dash started a small crack by the passenger airbag. It's a very common issue between 07-13 GM trucks and SUVS. They seem to randomly crack I had mine crack overnight. It makes a horrible vibration sound while driving it's kind off annoying to drive now.
No part available for the climate control, with a mail in procedure and a 30 day turn around time. This creates a visibility hazard while driving. Inability to control the heat during colder climate while creating foggy windows and trying to travel. This is a safety hazard for the driver as well as the public! I cannot take the part out for a month because I have no idea what the weather will be like 10 minutes from now and if I did would be without for 30 days and not have the ability to clear a foggy windshield!
There has been various occasions where we are driving and the truck stops with no warning or reason, the first time was on I-95 highway in philadelphia mid traffic the truck turned off and would not restart for about 5minutes we weee stuck in the middle of the road blocking traffic, no check engine light or any warning light came on. The second time was just this week on the way to two different mechanics to get the computer read it turned off yet again in the middle of the road. Both mechanics said nothing can up on the scanner when connected and there were no check engine lights turned on.
Cracked dash above instrument cluster and at it bag. Started at 48000 miles. If in a wreck and air bag deploys shards of dash can fly through the air. Things can get down in instrument cluster and cause a short which can lead to a fire. Vehicle can be sitting in a heated garage and it keeps getting worse
Dash started with 2 initial cracks one at the passenger air bag and the other at the base of the driver side instrument panel closer to the window. As time went on the crack of the driver side progressively got worse to the point now it has traveled to end of the panel above the steering wheel and another crack has developed now at the other end of the air bag.
Dash is cracked with sharp edges close to the defroster vents and next to the passenger side air bag. Cracked on its own, no accident. Truck is very well taken care of.
Cracked dashboard at passenger airbag causing a potential airbag deployment issue. I noticed this while cleaning said dashboard. No items were ever stored on the dashboard. Dealership quotes $1250 to repair same.
