My dash has large gaps/cracks in the dashboard. These range from the windshield all the way the front piece of trip. The dash IS completely separated. Right in the center of the dash, around the airbags, and the other smaller parts or the dash are cracked too. I use a sun shield, so that IS not the case. My daughter and I have both cut our hands on the dash. She was so surprised when she got in the truck that she asked if I had a wreck, and then ran her hand over the dash and cut her palm ad two fingers. I also cut my hand while trying to clean it so that stuff does not drop down the crack, such as dirt or dust, can't that start a fire with the wires and the heater down there? Another thing IS my vents don't wok like they are suppose to. The dash IS so broken you can hear sounds of plastic vibrating and blowing in the vents. This directly effects the air flow to, it's like its not even connected. This all happened while the vehicle was in the garage stationary not running.

Dash cracking by air bag
- Unknown or other
The front dash on our truck cracked. It IS a very large crack and I am concerned about the safety of my family since the airbag IS located inside the dash. There should be a recall since all that IS offered IS a discount on the exact same dash that will do the exact same thing. Please force GMC into a recall!

I drive a company truck during the week and make a habit of driving my sierra once a week as well. I was going down the driveway to the main road when the pedal fell to the floor. No brakes whatsoever. I used the emergency brake to come to a safe stop. I looked under the hood to realize that the brake lines were rusted and had blown a hole. This truck IS not that old and I do not live in a northern state where salt corrosion IS an issue. I baby my truck and keep it up. I later did a search on the web an found out that thousands of others are having this issue as well. This IS ridiculous, this IS a bad material choice for brake lines. GMC needs to realize this and recall all of us and install coated, or better yet, braided/poly-covered lines to make sure this never happens again. What if I were traveling at a higher rate of speed and had my family in the car? I can see their stand on this being a maintenance issue, but I have friends with early 80'S and 90'S model trucks that still have the original brake lines in them, not corroded or rusted, and still work great. Get on the ball GMC and take responsibility for this. *tr

I have owned my 2007 GMC sierra 1500 for a few years now and am concerned about a safety issue with the vehicle. I noticed recently that the dash board IS cracked in several places. I have never been involved in an accident and the vehicle IS mostly garage kept. what concerns me IS the cracking that IS around the passenger side air bag and the possibility of the cracked pieces becoming projectiles if the airbag were to deploy. once I found out that these cracks were present I did some research and found that this IS a common trait among 2007-2013 gm trucks. I have seen pictures online on the gm truck forum and on a dedicated facebook page regarding many other owners who have vehicles with these cracks. some of them even own vehicles in the 20,000 mile range. I wanted to bring this to your attention, and let you know that this IS a common problem which could become a safety concern for many gm truck owners. to my knowledge there IS no recall at this time. *tr

Service bulletins
Technical service bulletins and other communications the manufacturer sent dealers about this vehicle. Ask a dealer for the full document by its number.
- 10114470This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicle that may have an OnStar system that has progression tones when pressing the blue or red button. Technician will need to call General Motors Technical Assistance Center with the scan tool data from the OnStar system.
- 10114431This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that may have an issue when using Bluetooth voice recognition with an iPhone. Technician should work with the customer to insure the phone contacts to not have any Emojis loaded to any contact.
- 10114408This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that are travelling from Canada to the United States. While in the United States they are unable to receive Turn-by-Turn directions. Due to the existing cellular provider not having roaming agreements in areas outside of Canada to support transmitting of the packet data required for Turn-By-Turn feature to operate. The customer has 3 options while traveling through the United Sates. First if the vehicle is equipped with a navigation radio they can request a "Destination Download" to the vehicle. Second if the customer uses the OnStar RemoteLink app they can send the directions to the vehicle. The third option would be to have the vehicle loaded with a "500 phone number" The customer will no longer be able to use their Hands Free Calling minutes when the new 500 phone number is loaded. If a customer chooses to restore Hands Free Calling in the future a new phone number will be assigned to the vehicle; previous phone numbers are not available.
- 10114354This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician that some vehicles may have a Service Engine Soon lamp, engine misfire on cylinder 1, 4, 6, or 7 and/or tick noise. Technician will follow service information diagnosis first. If service information diagnosis does not isolate the cause of this concern perform a cylinder deactivation active fuel management system compression test in service information. If the running compression of the misfiring cylinder stays below 25 Pounds per Square Inch regardless of the active fuel management solenoid being commanded on or off, an active fuel management lifter is mechanically collapsed/stuck or unlocking as soon as the engine is started. Replace all active fuel management lifters, and all plastic lifter guides. Also perform the cylinder deactivation active fuel management Valve Lifter Oil Manifold Diagnosis and Testing in Service Information. If it isolates a concern with the Valve Lifter Oil Manifold, replace it and reevaluate the concern. The active fuel management lifters can also be monitored for proper operation by carefully inspecting the cylinder 1, 4, 6, and 7 rockers and valves while cranking or briefly and safely running the engine with the valve covers removed. If the valve or valves of an active fuel management cylinder stop moving while doing this test, the active fuel management lifter is causing the concern. For 2008-2009 Full Size Truck/SUV or a 2007-2009 Chevrolet Tahoe with the Police Package reprogram the Engine Control Module. On the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8, 2010-2011 Camaro, and 2007-2010 Full Size Trucks with active fuel management, also determine if the active fuel management pressure relief valve shield that is listed in the latest version of 10-06-01-008 has ever been installed. On passenger cars with the LS4 engine, determine if the updated oil pan gasket that is listed in the latest version of 11-06-01-007 has been installed.
- 10114352This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about changing the tire and wheel size on vehicles. General Motors will only support a tire calibration for tires that have been sized, tested and designed for the vehicle in question and its applications.
