REGARDING RECALL FOR GM 14515B. OR NHTSA 14V614 I HAVE A 2008 GMC SIERRA SLT WITH A 5.3 LITRE ENGINE. MY VEHICLE FAILS TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER THEY CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE PART 20759945 THE SAME PART NUMBER THAT IS MENTIONED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. I ALSO HAVE SAME CONDITION MENTIONED IN CURRENT RECALL. BUT WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL GYM CANADA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DEALER JUST SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN BUT CAN'T EXPLAIN WHAT VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED BY RECALL AND WHY. MY VEHICLE FALLS WITHIN THE YEARS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I AM SENDING THIS BECAUSE I THINK MORE VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL THAN ORIGINALLY MENTIONED. IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS PLEASE. I JUST FIND IT WEIRD HOW THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THE SAME CONDITION AND THE SAME PART IS AFFECTED BUT FOR SOME VEHICLES IT'S NOT A RECALL. WILL SOMEBODY HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS TO BECOME A CONCERN. THANKS

GM KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CRACKED DASHBOARDS ON 07-13 GM TRUCKS/SUVS, BUT REFUSES TO VOLUNTARY RECALL. IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, THERE IS LIKELIHOOD THE AIRBAG COULD EITHER NOT DEPLOY OR IF IT DOES, IT COULD CATCH THE CRACK IN THE DASH AND EITHER NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY, OR SEND SHRAPNEL INTO THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER.

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACKED ON THE PORTION COVERING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I AM WORRIED THAT IF INFLATED, THE PLASTIC SHARDS WILL IMPALE ANY PASSENGER. ALSO THE DASHBOARD CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT IS BEGINNING TO CAVE IT.

TAKATA RECALL AS REPORTED BY GMC SINCE OF MAY 2016 AND HAS NOT PROVIDED A REPLACEMENT FOR THE DEALER IN MORE THAN 1 YEAR

NHTSA complaint #11046093 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

TAKATA RECALL: GMC HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WAY TO LONG AND STILL TO THIS DATE CANNOT GIVE ME A DATE OR TIME FRAME WHEN THEY CAN FIX MY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN CORRECTED. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE EPIDEMIC DASH CRACKING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINEERING ISSUE AND GMC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT IN THEIR DASHES. MY DASH CRACKS ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER GMC OWNERS AND WHEN THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW, THEY SHOULD CORRECT IT. DOWN AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IS SAY WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? I KNOW IF HAPPENED IT 2010, BUT NOT A SPECIFIC DAY OR MONTH.

"GMC DASH RECALL" MY 2008 GMC SIERRA DASH IS CRACKING AND I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON GOOGLE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. THE DASH IS CRACKED IN SUCH A WAY THAT AT A CERTAIN ANGLE I CAN SEE WIRES EXPOSED FROM THE AIRBAG COVER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL TO FIX THE CRACKED DASH.

NHTSA complaint #10957697 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

THIS VEHICLE WAS ACQUIRED IN MARCH, 2016 WITH AN INTACT DASHBOARD, 142,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. OVER THE LAST 9 MONTHS MULTIPLE, PENETRATING CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE TOP OF THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD DUE TO CAUSE(S) UNKNOWN. THIS HAS GREATLY DIMINISHED THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD TO THE POINT THAT AT LEAST ONE TOP PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD IS LOOSE DUE TO THE CRACKS. TWO CRACKS ARE IN THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD TOP AND ONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. CURRENT MILES ON THE ODOMETER ARE 146,000. IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT DURING A CRASH, THE LIKELIHOOD IS VERY HIGH THAT PLASTIC FROM THE DASHBOARD COULD FRACTURE, BECOME AIRBORNE, AND RESULT IN INJURY TO OCCUPANT(S) OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO EITHER THE NORMAL DEPLOYMENT VELOCITY OF THE TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAG, OR WORSE YET IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR FAILS TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED AND ACTIVATES WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE. THIS VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL NHSTA #16V381, ISSUED 5/27/2016 FOR DEFECTIVE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS. FURTHER, THE VEHICLE HAS SPENT ITS ENTIRE OPERATING LIFE IN THE "ZONE A" HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY REGION (FLORIDA). IN AND OF ITSELF, THE CRACKING DASHBOARD PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD DURING A CRASH WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. HOWEVER, COMBINED WITH CONDITIONS RECORDED IN RECALL 16V381, I MAINTAIN THIS COMBINED HAZARD PRESENTS AN UNACCEPTABLE LIFE SAFETY RISK. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE NHTSA IMMEDIATELY INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THE NOTED DASHBOARD CRACKS ON BOTH GM AND GMC GMT900 TRUCK PRODUCTS, AND FURTHER RECOMMEND THAT A RECALL ACTION BE SUGGESTED TO GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION ON GMT900 VEHICLES REGISTERED IN "ZONE A" TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. AS OF THIS DATE GM HAS NOT COMPLETED THE RECALL ACTION UNDER NHSTA #16V381 ON MY VEHICLE, THEREFORE THE ACCENTUATED HAZARD REMAINS UNABATED.

DASH FAILURE AROUND DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG AND OVER DASH CLUSTER. BRITTLE PLASTIC WILL SPLINTER AND STRIKE BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS. TAKATA RECALL HAS NO REMEDY ACCORDING TO DEALER AND MANUFACTURING.

MY DASH CRACKED 5 YEARS AGO, I REPLACED WITH NEW FROM DEALER $1000.00 COST AND IT IS NOW CRACKED AGAIN. IN ADDITION I HAVE AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON AIRBAGS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT GM DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPLACE. SO NOW I COULD HAVE SHRAPNEL FROM AIRBAG AND SHRAPNEL FROM MY NEW $1000.00 DASH. WOW GM, GET IT TOGETHER AND GET THE AIRBAGS IN STOCK AND STOP USING INFERIOR MATERIALS ON $1000.00 DASH BOARDS.

I HAVE A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500 I BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND MY DASH IS CRACKING SEVERELY IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES! ONE IS RIGHT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IS ABOUT 1 1/4 INCHES AND THE OTHER IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE ABOVE THE GUAGE CLUSTER AND IS ABOUT 6 INCHES OR MORE!

THE UPPER DASH PANEL CRACKED AFTER BEING PARKED OUTSIDE. I THOUGHT SOMEONE BROKE IN AND HIT IT WITH SOMETHING, IT IS CRACKED DOWN CENTER OF INSTRUMENT PANEL TOWARD WINDSHIELD THEN ACROSS TO AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. MY FEAR IS THAT IF THE AIR BAG THAT IS PENDING RECALL INFORMATION PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYS AND PASSENGERS COULD BE HIT BY PLASTIC SHRAPNEL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS A CHILD GETS HAND OR ARM INJURED BY SIMPLY PRESSING TOO HARD ON FLIMSY DASHBOARD. I AM A 100% SERVICE CONNECTED COMBAT VETERAN AND NEED TO SELL TRUCK TO PURCHASE A VAN FOR TRANSPORTATION. THE CRACKED DASH IS HINDERING THE SALE AT A DECENT PRICE. THE DEALER SAID REPAIR IS AROUND $1200 AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY LAYING AROUND ANYWAY IF I AM UNABLE TO SELL IT.
