Dash is cracked near passenger side air bag, if deployment were to happen shrapnel will fly throughout the cab. Ive seen the same issue on numerous other vehicles of the same generation.
Well I keep driving my truck. And my airbag light is on. So there for if I get hit they not going to come out and protect me. And I'm having bad issues with my ball joints. On my 2012 GMC 2500 hd. I've put 2 sets on them. And I've only had it a year. You gotta do something about that.
1 day got in truck and noticed the dash was cracked on driver side behind the gauge cluster and as I looked I noticed it was also cracked at the 2 upper corners of the passenger air bag. The truck only has 25000 mile on it. GM will not pay to have it fixed and I'm worried that it can affect the safety of the air bags

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Sierra 2500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously.

A multi-car collision had occurred at a considerable speed. (sadly a driver had lost a life in this accident) this collision entailed a very large commercial truck being hit head on, by a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction.( this 2nd vehicle being a van) after this severe impact with the large commercial vehicle, (which created heavy damage to this vehicle, removing the front axle) the van proceeded being ricochet off the large commercial vehicle, around it, back into my oncoming lane. This resulted in a frontal driver impact head on with the out of control van. Upon impact, the driver's side air bag of my vehicle partially inflated, then rapidly deflated. Thus the airbag never fully employed, leaving me no protection whatsoever. I am enduring many issues due to this malfunction, and wish this matter to be looked into further, to protect anyone else from having to deal with issues like myself...updated 10/07/14
