A YEAR OR SO AFTER RECIEVINV MY AIRBAG RECALL SERVICE, MY DASH STARTED CRACKING. IT STARTED AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IT IS NOW CRACKED IN OTHER PLACES AND RATTLES CONSTANTLY WHILE IN MOTION. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE YET TO SEE A GMC/CHEVY FROM 2007.5-14 THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THE DASH PIECES COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY/DEATH IF NOT FIXED. GM WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ON THEIR END WITH OUT THE CONSUMER PAYING $450-750. THEY SAID THAT WAS THE REPLACEMENT COST WITH THE EXACT SAME DASH. THAT DASH WOULD MOST LIKELY CRACK AS WELL. WHY HAS GM NOT BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE? WILL PEOPLE HAVE TO BECOME INJURED/DEAD BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS FIXED? PICTURES CAN BE SENT ON REQUEST.

PURCHASED OUR 2008 GMC 2500HD FROM CLASSIC GMC NEW. HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN TEICE TO TRY TO GET THEM TO REPLACE THE CRACKED DASHBOARD. THEY ADMIT IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. THEY DID SAY THAT GM HAS PAID TO REPLACE SOME DASHBOARDS OR PAID PARTIAL IF STILL IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. OF COURSE BY THE TIME WE REALIZED IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. WE RECENTLY (DEC. 2017) TOOK THE TRUCK TO CLASSIC TO GET A TRADE-IN VALUE & THEY ONLY OFFERED $13K BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED. SO, HOPING THERE IS A CLASS ACTION FILED. THE CRACKING CERTAINLY WILL BE A FACTOR IF THE AIRBAG EVER DEPLOYS.
