My dashboard is cracking/cracked on my 2013 gmc sierra. getting worse and worse. i have noticed similar complaints online. a lot of them. looks to me like a manufacturer defect. therefore, i am filing this complaint
The dashboard has severe cracks in front of the driver above the instrument panel and also around the passenger airbag. these cracks are resulting from a poor design and not from any accident or misuse. this is a well known issue with this vintage of truck and has affected many owners. this is a safety concern because in the event of a accident that deploys the airbags, the manufacturers defective dashboard would shatter and yield projectiles within the cabin area. the dash requires full replacement and cannot be repaired.
I parked at my place of work, i put my windshield shade up as i do everyday, and when i came outside to go home i noticed a crack on the dash on the upper left dash section by the airbag, i'm worried if the airbag were to deploy the dash could splinter sending pieces of sharp plastic at the passengers.
Dash developed terrible cracks ! rear door handle broke loose.
My complaint is for the cracked dashboard just above the forward left corner of the passenger side airbag compartment. the dash cracked for no apparent reason; there is no known cause. my concern is both cosmetic and safety. not only should a vehicle less than 5yrs old not have a cracked dashboard, but since the dash is cracked directly adjacent to the air bag compartment, and is apparently prone to cracking, there is the potential for the dash to splinter and project small pieces of plastic into the body of passengers if the airbag were to be deployed.
Dashboard is cracking near the passenger side airbag
I took my truck in for service to find the heater core was bad. to replace, the dashboard would have to be removed. i already had a small crack in the dash located right above the passenger airbag. after service was performed at the dealership, the dashboard now has two more cracks in it. the dealership said i will have to pay 40% and the clock in now ticking. the longer i wait, the less gmc will pay to replace. even though the service advisor told me that gmc is having trouble with the dash cracking, peeling, etc.
A crack has developed on the right corner of passenger side dash that borders the passenger side dash airbag. several people i work with have developed the same problem in their gm trucks as well. if the bag deploys more than likely the bag will tear due to the sharp crack edges and because of the force shards of plastic dashboard will be flying shrapnel inside the cab. i refuse to have my children sit in the passenger side let alone an adult. when do you plan on making this issue a safety recall? when pieces of dashboard and airbag blinds somebody?
Large cracks are forming on the dashboard. one crack is located near the speedomoder column and the other decends from the passenger airbag.
Dash board cracked like everyone else is reporting....just want to let others know......gmc dealer replaced mine...no charge because it is a known problem
Have a crack in dashboard by passenger airbag and behind center of gauge cluster on drivers side. purchased vehicle used and didn't notice cracks till i had driven car home.
The dashboard has cracks in multiple places...concerned about flying plastic piece if airbag is deployed

Dashboard cracked could affect air bag when deployed
I have a couple cracks on my dashboard around the passenger airbag. i asked the dealer to replace it for free. they want to charge me 300 dollars.
Dash broke at the air bag, if it was to deploy will send sharp pieces of plastic at the driver and passenger.
Cracked dashboard the dashboard of my gmc sierra as a vertical crack running directly next to the passenger side airbag. this happened suddenly while at a stand still. my concerns is what happens should my truck endure a crash. i worry that the broken dashboard could interfere with the performance of my airbag.
Door locks and horn cycle anytime with or without key. parked or driving.
The dashboard suddenly cracked near the passenger side airbag. it appears to be in the corner of the airbag where, if deployed could possibly damage the airbag causing a malfunction which could result in serious injury or death. as of now, i am not aware of any recalls for this however, i have found an article where gm is not claiming responsibility for cracked dashboards.
Cracked dashboard top left corner of passenger airbag .
