MY DENALI HAS GOTTEN A CRACK ON THE DASH THAT RUNS DOWN TO THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG. THIS HAPPENED WHILE SITTING IN MY GARAGE IN 2016. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THIS. IT APPEARS TO ME AND OTHERS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL OF THE DASHES ARE CRACKED ON THE ONE PIECE DASHES (2007-2014) EITHER ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OR AT THE AIRBAG. I'M AFRAID THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THAT THERE WILL BE PIECES OF THE DASH COMING WITH IT CAUSING INJURY. I KEEP MY VEHICLE GARAGE KEPT OR AT WORK I PUT A DEFLECTOR IN THE WINDOW TO KEEP THE SUN OFF THE DASH. I FEEL LIKE GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE DASH DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY.

TAKATA "RECALL" HEAT AND HUMIDITY MAGNIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA SINCE IT'S BUILD. WE ARE GROUND ZERO FOR HEAT AND HUMIDITY. I'VE BEEN APPLYING FOR THIS RECALL FOR A VERY LONG TIME WITH NO RESULTS. THIS DELAY TACTIC MIGHT LOWER THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH RECALL, AT THE EXPENSE OF OWNERSHIP HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. ENOUGH KICKING THIS CAN DOWN THE ROAD. FORCE GM TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED IN MAY 2016 OF THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS FOR MY 2011 GMC PICKUP (GM RECALL # 2049151, HTSA # 16V381). I CHECK WITH MY DEALER (EDD ROGERS IN SPARTA, TN) EVERY TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR A 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGE. THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET. I FIND IT INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THE NHTSA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET TAKATA TO GET THIS FIX TAKEN CARE OF IN OVER TWO YEARS!! WILL IT TAKE MY WIFE OR I BEING INJURED OR KILLED TO FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS? WE HAVE HEARD VIRTUALLY NOTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL JUST RECENTLY GETTING A CARD FROM TAKATA HOLDINGS, INC. I AM OF THE OPINION THAT IS TAKATA CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL THAT GM NEEDS TO FIND OTHER AIRBAGS COMPATIBLE WITH THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND HAVE THIS SITUATION FINALIZED ASAP! GM CAN THEN GO AFTER TAKATA FOR REIMBURSEMENT! I WANT....NO....I NEED THIS RECTIFIED ASAP BEFORE ANYONE IN MY FAMILY, INCLUDING ME, GETS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THE INACTION OF THE NHTSA, GM OR TAKATA!

TAKADA INFLATOR HAS BEEN ON RECALL FOR WAY TOO MANY YEARS WHILE PEOPLE CONTINUE TO BE INJURED AND OR KILLED, WHILE GM STANDS BY AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. THEY DIDN'T MIND TAKING MY MONEY. THIS IS A 2011 HOW MANY MORE YEARS WILL IT TAKE? I ASKED FOR A LOANER VECHICLE BUT THAT WAS ALSO DENIED. NOW I DEMAND MY TRUCK FIXED AND A LOANER UNTIL YOU CAN GET THE PARTS.I AM SCARED TO DEATH EVERY TIME I NEED TO UNEXPECTED THE TRUCK, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU START HELPING YOUR GM CUSTOMERS OUT?

DASHBOARD ON MY GMC SIERRA DENALI HAS 2 MAJOR CRACKS. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THESE VEHICLES DASHBOARDS. FIRST CRACK IS OVER THE GAUGES ON THE DASH, AND THE SECOND IS RIGHT OVER TOP OF THE AIR BAG. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH NO RECALLS OR ASSISTANCE FROM VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS. THE CRACKS ARE EITHER STARTED VIA DRIVING AND CRACKING DUE TO VIBRATION OF THE ROAD, OR THEY CRACK FROM PREMATURE WEAR VIA THE SUN FADING THE MATERIALS. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, SEEING HOW IF THE AIR BAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT WILL SEND MANY SHARP PIECES OF DASHBOARD PLASTIC INTO THE PASSENGER OR MYSELF THE DRIVER. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX, AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE RECALL OR ADDRESS.

GM'S PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY AND NHTSA ARE BEYOND THE AUGUST 2017 DEADLINE.
