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.
The dashboard is all cracked, one being a really big and all along the passenger airbag, in the event the airbag deploys, those pieces can really cause pain. I have more photos but files to big to upload.
On November 29, 2018 at around 12:00pm, I was driving down the road on route 460 West toward grundy, Virginia, the roads was clear, and the weather was clear, at a speed about 35mph and the ceiling airbags deployed causing the seatbelts to lock up, and shut the truck down to a stop in the middle of the road. The air bags made a loud noise, that a neighboring business heard them deploy. I was not injured only scared and startled by what had just happened. I restarted my truck and pulled off to the side of the road, and could not understand what had happened, and proceded to drive to my mother in law's work place. I then called my mom which was the original owner and she advised me to call ramey Chevrolet richlands va because the air bags should not have deployed. I had to reshedule an appointment because of bad weather and being able to get off work to take it to them for their schedule until January 18, 2019. My truck was owned by my mom and dad and has never been in a crash. We have currently around 58,000 miles on this truck and as you can tell very low milage. My wife mostly drives this truck. Both me and my wife have always practice safe driving and obeyed speed limit. The truck is currently at ramey Chevrolet richlands va and I talk to an inspector from Chevrolet by the name of tony at 1-866-446-6963 ext. 59115544 and he told me they would not fix my truck because the shocks was damaged. Now if the shocks are damaged then when the truck was shut down by the airbags may have damaged the shocks, but this truck was not in a crash, there was no reason for the airbags to deploy just driving at a speed of around 35mph. I am thankful I was not injured. I hope we can work to get this resloved.
Dangerous cracked condition of dashboard surrounding airbag deployment area. Dashboard is so badly cracked and brittle that if the airbag were to go off, sharp and jagged pieces of plastic would become flying schrapnel. The velocity of an airbag explosion coupled with flying bits of hard sharp plastic could cause serious injury or even death. This vehicle has been well cared for and as such the dash cracking is a result of defective engineering and materials.
Dash cracked above instrument panel and by passanger airbag. Dealer quoted $1600 repair bill. GM wont issue a recall after I call and talked to customer service
The dash on my 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 is cracking like several other ppl have complained about GM needs to issue a special coverage to have this problem fixed.
All four of the door handles on my truck are breaking off; even though GMC has knowledge of the problem they refuse to replace the door handles, because my truck is out of warranty. It's a well known problem, you can even google a search for this matter and see other consumers that have the same problem. It's a safety problem, if someone, in need of help, is unconscious in a vehicle with the same broken door handle problem, how would they get help fast, if the door handles are broken.
Dash board is cracking above instrument panel on top about three to five inches from bottom of front windshield just appeared on 10/02/2017. This crack was not there on 10/01/2017, vehicle was stationary was not driven at all yesterday.
Cracked dashboard without collision or any impact. The heat and cold continue to crack the dash and I am certain the entire dash will explode if any airbag is deployed or collision is experienced.
Cracks in both sides of the dashboard. Others have complained about this as well and GM is getting sued for it now. Also, molding has been replaced on all four doors and is coming off again.
