Filed Sep 11, 2018 · 22,942 miles · IL

Driver side door handle quit working,this is a known issue with the gmc sierra 1500.I have been to the dealer thinking a quick and cheap fix,was floored to find out on that year and model it was a common occurrence, and out of pocket would cost $475.00 parts and labor,the parts man told me it was a bad design flaw.I asked if there was a recall on this because it's a safety issue,was told no.I got this truck new and as to date have had to replace the dash,because of cracking around airbag,done under warranty,and replaced outside door handle on rr door,now the door won't open from the inside on drivers door.,unless I roll down window and open from outside,my truck has 23,000 miles on it.everything still looks new. I feel this is an issue that gmc should address,I would pay the labor, if they supply the part.the whole interior door has to be replaced as it is one unit.this is unfair to consumers ,installing deffective parts, and should be replaced at gmc's expenses,not the consumers.

Dashboard is cracking and particularly around the passenger air bag. There is no real way to repair this. When we speak to gm dealerships, they tell you they know it is a problem and are willing to replace the dash but they will charge exorbitant amounts to do so. The second problem is that the door handles are not safe. One of the rear door handles has already broken. If you pull on them just the slightest bit too hard, they crack on the inside, causing the handle to fall off and be inoperative. Once again, gm is aware of the faulty parts but will not recall on this matter. Both of these issues are safety concerns and are widespread. I know this to be true because once my dash started cracking, I looked online to see if others were having the same problem. Sure enough, I learned that this is very wide spread. There are even aftermarket companies that have started to make plastic dash covers to fit directly over our dashboards just because it is so widespread. Gm must recall these two defects. Kindly investigate?

Cracked dash left top corner of passenger air bag area. Same as everyone else on here. Replaced drivers side seat motor at$132. Replaced drivers side rear window regulator at $165 with labor at $60. Replaced both door handles at $89 with labor at $60. Had to rent a car for 4 days in the amount of $285. This all happened in nov. And dec. Of 2015. None of which is covered by my extended warranty purchased from dealer. Also the paint is bubbling around the rear cargo light. Also not covered under my "paint warranty". At the time of all this happening we had less than 65,000 miles on the vehicle.

I contacted gmc on 10/26/2015 to inform them there was a crack in the dashboard on the upper left side of the passenger airbag. This is the second time this has happened. The first time brian harris gmc, the dealer I purchased the truck from, replaced the dashboard under the manufacturer's warranty. I also told andre at gmc I have had to replace all 4 door handles and now the 2 back door handles are broken again. Andre told me to have the dealer asses the problem. David, the service rep. At brian harris said they would replace the door handles under my extended factory warranty, and waive the deductible, but gmc will not cover the dashboard. I couldn't understand why the dashboard was not covered and was told it was gmc"s option. I disagreed and explained this is a safety issue. What if the airbag does not function properly or not function at all. If it does deploy will it throw shards of plastic and injure the people in the truck? He said he understood but there was nothing he could do. So I now have a crack in the dashboard of my truck for the second time. What else can I do?

Inside driver door handle chrome is flaking. 3/9/13 it cut my index finger fairly deep and approximately 1/2 inch in length. Of course it bled all over my suit as I was heading to be the best man at a wedding. 7/21/13. My son was getting out of the drivers door and received the same injury.
