NHTSA Complaint #10862800 — 2010 GMC SIERRA 1500

MULTIPLE CRACKS ON DASHBOARD. THE FIRST TWO (2) CRACKS APPEARED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO (TRUCK ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AT THAT TIME) LOCATED ON PASSENGER SIDE OF DASH - ABOVE WHERE GLOVE BOX ENDS. JUST FOUND ANOTHER CRACK THIS PAST WEEKEND WHEN CLEANING DASH. (TRUCK IS NOW 6 YRS OLD - JUST FINISHED PAYING IT OFF!!) THIS ONE IS LOCATED ON LEFT SIDE OF DRIVER SIDE, ABOUT HALF WAY BACK. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE DASH IS NOW COMPROMISED. IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED, MY CONCERNS ARE THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT COME OUT, COME OUT IMPROPERLY DUE TO THE CRACKS, OR THAT THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL DASH PARTS BECOMING A PROJECTILE THAT COULD CAUSE MORE HARM. IN READING THIS SITE IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT CAUSES A MAJOR PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN KEPT IN PARTIAL SHADE AND HAS ALWAYS HAD A SUNSCREEN IN PLACE WHEN NOT IN USE.
