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 cracks in my dash will be a safety issue when the air bags deploy. I can't believe that gmc hasn't done a recall on these dashes yet. During the airbag recall they will crack the dash even worse making this problem extremely dangerous. It has the potential to cause loss of life. Also on the other hand this devalues the resale price of the car.
The dashboard is cracking. These cracks have happened when the vehicle has been parked. One is by the airbag cover, the other is on the instrument panel hood.
While driving the truck on a country road, it started to pull towards the right. I tried to correct by steering to the left. My steering wheel just spun and had no control of the front wheels. Ithe steering shaft became disengage from the axel. I crashed into trees and my truck was declared a total loss. This happened on 9/27/2020. I am waiting for the police report and the inspection results from the insurance company.
While driving to work one morning an error message flashed engine reduced power, stability control loss. Truck struggled to accelerate. Has happened several times since November 2015 on city streets or highways can happen at any time. I had to replace entire system from throttle body to the pedal assembly have found out that this is common problem that GM knows about along with the cracks in the dash around air bag on passenger side and the instrument cluster and refuses to recall and fix cracks in air bag housing could pose a safety hazard along with loss of engine power from faulty wiring.
$17,000 worth of damage on my GMC all airbags went off minus the driver side steering wheel airbag. Was on cruise control at 75 miles per hour fell asleep at wheel ran into the barrier wires. Damage all over the truck 360underneath the truck luckily nobody was injured except for my own body. I lost consciousness the onstar woke me up and I crawled out of the wreckage meeting the highway patrol. It's been just over four years I'm still feeling the effects of the injury.
Dashboard has two cracks. Each crack is about 2 inches long. One of them is on the left side, about 12 inches from the steering wheel. The other crack is on the top-left corner outside of the airbag area. The cracks have been getting bigger in the last few weeks. It appears that if an airbag were to deploy, the sharp end of the cracked dashboard could cause significant injury rather than protection. Normal driving conditions caused it. No known objects have been placed on dashboard to exert such force to cause it to break.
This truck is four years old, has 30,000 miles, is garage kept (never parked in the sun) and the dash has cracked near the air bag area. I am concerned the deployment of the airbag could be affected by the cracked dash.
