Dash is cracked in several places. Main concern is around airbags. I have used windshield cover to protect from an damage since it was new.

Dash board on my gmc truck is cracked in three places. One of the places is a corner on the dash that encases the airbag. I have religiously covered the dash since day one, because I had a similar problem on my 2007 sierra. Dash cracked in one place. Dealer replaced it for free.

Around 50k the side detection warning system and park assist quit working. Upon taking it in for repairs we find that this is a major problem for this vehicle, and replacement parts are at a shortage..due to high volume of repairs. We called gm customer care and they state there is no recall and our repair will be over $1000 to fix this problem. We feel this is unfair practice since they are aware they have this problem.

Dashbord separating down the center. When the vehicle is in motion, the dashboard flaps. This is a default issue with the company. Also, crack on the left side passenger airbag. This is a serious safety concern. If the airbag deploys the entire dashboard with dismantle causing serious bodily harm.
