I CALLED DEALER AND GM DIRECTLY: NO FURTHER INFO. GM KEEPS STATING PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AND ARE NOT ADDRESSING CONCERN- THEY ARE FIGHTING THE REALITY TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. FROM GM'S WEBSITE: SAFETY & NON-COMPLIANCE RECALLS WHAT'S THIS?

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE AIR BAG, I AM CONCERNED THAT PLASTIC PIECES OF DASHBOARD WILL BECOME DANGEROUS FLYING OBJECTS IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT THAT DEPLOYS THE AIRBAG. I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH GM AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR MONTHS NOW AND THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A CONTINUING SAFETY ISSUE EXPERIENCED BY GMC SIERRA OWNERS
Air bags, Jun 14, 2016
I AM AFRAID IF THE AIRBAG IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WERE TO EVER DEPLOY, FLYING PLASTIC FROM THE DASHBOARD WILL CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. MY DASH HAS A CRACK IN IT ALREADY AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DESIGN FLAW ON GM'S PART.
Air bags, Other or unspecified, Jun 7, 2016
THE DASHBOARD HAS MAJOR CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AND THE CLUSTER AREAS. WHEN YOU SPEND 45,000 OR MORE ON A VEHICLE YOU EXPECT A QUALITY PRODUCT. I SOLD MY BMW 750 LI AND PURCHASED THIS GMC SIERRA 1500 DENALI 2011. I HAVE VIEWED MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME CONCERNS AND/OR ISSUES AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THIS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT GM DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. AMERICA IS BETTER THAN THIS. I KNOW THIS DOES NOT MATTER BUT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER AMERICAN VEHICLE AND HAVE PURCHASED A LOT OF VEHICLES DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN. LET'S DO THE RIGHT THING!

CRACKING AROUND THE AIR BAG WITH THE DASH WHICH COULD TURN TO SHRAPNEL IN THE EVEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS.
Air bags, Structure, May 26, 2016
MY TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE DASH, STARTING AT THE TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT HAS CRACKED ENTIRELY THROUGH TO THE DASH TRIM PIECE ROUGHLY 3-4 INCHES AWAY. NOT ONLY IS IT A TREMENDOUS EYE-SORE, THAT MOST OF MY PASSENGERS NOTICE AND COMMENT ON... BUT HAS ME EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY. IF THIS VEHICLE WERE TO BE IN A COLLISION AND THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, I AM SURE THAT FRAGMENTS OF PLASTIC WOULD BE PROPELLED THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE AIRBAG FIRED. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY STATE IT IS NOT COVERED, AND HAVE QUOTED ME A REPAIR COST OF JUST OVER $1,000. THIS DEFECT IN THE DASH PIECE SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING INCIDENT IN A LOT OF 2007-2013 GM TRUCKS. MY DASH POPS AND CREAKS WHILE DRIVING, AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE INSANE REPLACEMENT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPAIR. GM NEEDS TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS SITUATION.
Air bags, Other or unspecified, May 10, 2016
CRACKS ON BOTH THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ONE ON DRIVER'S SIDE IS ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG.

CRACKED DASH IN SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING AROUND AIRBAG. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY.
Air bags, Other or unspecified, Mar 3, 2016
DASH BOARD CRACK AT CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND 2 MORE CRACKS AT DRIVERS SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL. CONCERN THAT THE CRACK AT AIR BAG COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN IF EVER DEPLOYED.
Air bags, Other or unspecified, Feb 4, 2016
MY SIERRA HAS TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH, ONE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE OTHER FROM THE AIRBAG TO THE VENT. THIS IS VERY COMMON IN GM TRUCKS FROM 2007-2013, WITH THE CRACK FROM THE AIRBAG TO THE VENT BEING THE MOST COMMON. THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE DEDICATED TO THIS DEFECT WITH THOUSANDS OF EXAMPLES. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND SENDS PLASTIC SHARDS THROUGHOUT THE CAB.
Air bags, Other or unspecified, Jan 20, 2016
LARGE AND NOTICEABLE CRACK BY MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON MY DASHBOARD. COULD SEE THIS BECOMING SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING. GM WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL, NOR TAKE ANY SORT OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ERROR.
Air bags, Jan 18, 2016
MY TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE IN PARTICULAR ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS WHICH LEADS ME TO FEEL VERY UNSAFE. IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, WHAT'S TO PREVENT THE DASH FROM SHATTERING AND CUTTING THE AIRBAG RENDERING IT USELESS OR WORSE, THE DASH BECOMING SHRAPNEL?
