EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT, DRIVER SIDE, AGAINST FIRE WALL, BROKE OFF UNDER NORMAL DRIVING. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE HAS BEEN A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS. GMC SHOULD BE MADE TO REPAIR THIS AT THEIR COST, THE EST. REPAIR COST FROM A DEALER IS $1,400 - $1,700. THIS IS A BUNCH OF BS. IS GM COVERING UP THIS SCREW UP TOO???? *JS

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING PRESENTS A HAZARD AT NIGHT. THE DIMMING SYSTEM DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY DIM THE CLUSTER. THE GLARE INTERFERES WITH THE DRIVER'S VISION TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON RURAL ROADS WHICH LACK AMBIENT LIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY BOTH THE DEALER AND GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AS BEING THE WAY IT IS DESIGNED.

I HAVE A 2010 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED UP IN SEVERAL PIECES. I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE DASH MAKING A VIBRATING NOISE. LOOKED AND SAW THE DASH CRACKED UP. MY TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNDER A SHED. IT HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT. THE DASH IS CRACKED IN PIECES THAT I CAN PULL UP. IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT,THESE PIECES WILL COME OUT. THEY ARE SHARP AND JAGGED.

THERE ARE TWO CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD. THE FIRST CRACK IS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF IT. THE SECOND CRACK IS ABOVE THE AIRBAG IN THE LEFT HAND CORNER ON PASSENGER SIDE. TRUCK IS GARAGE KEPT AND NOT A DAILY DRIVEN TRUCK IT SPENDS MOST OF ITS LIFE IN THE GARAGE OUT OF SUN. THE DASHBOARD PLASTIC IS A CHEAP MATERIAL COMPARED TO THE SLIGHTLY FLEXIBLE PLASTIC THAT IS ON THE DOORS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH VARIOUS MODELS OF GM AND CHEVY WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM IN THE SAME SPOTS THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET. THERE WAS NOT A SPECIFIC INCIDENT IN WHICH I RECALL FOR THE DASHBOARD TO CRACK. BUT THE EASE AT WHICH THE DASH HAS SEEMED TO CRACK, THE LOCATION OF ONE AROUND THE AIRBAG AND THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE MAKES IT SEEM LIKE IT IS POSSIBLY A HAZARDOUS DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE PIECES OF THE DASH TO BECOME SHRAPENAL IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT GIVEN THE CRACKS ARE LOCATED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER AND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER AROUND THE AIRBAG.
