Air Bags · at 5,000 miles · reported Nov 2, 2020
When if ever is NHTSA going to do something about the defective airbags?? I've been waiting for you and GM for 7 years now, to get something done. It's been long enough to do something about it. I live in a state where we get 60 plus inches of rain every year. And that's one of the reasons they give for failures of the airbags. I don't want to get someone killed because you can't find time to do your job. Time to get off the pot, and go to work. My next step will be to get ahold of trump maybe he can help you figure it out and get something done ✅

The dashboard of 2010 gmc sierra denali is cracking around the passenger air bag, and above the instrument cluster. The reason behind this is unknown to me. I rarely drive my truck, and have not been in any collisions. The cracks continue to grow due to the stress on the dash while driving (I.e. The separated pieces move up and down due depending the road conditions).

I had the oil changed at the dealer on the friday prior to august 5, 2013 and the warranty was expiring (At that time) in the very near future. Got in the truck to go over to my father's house and stopped at a local gas station that still does full serve (For a penny or two higher than the self serve down the street). As the owner of the station was cleaning my front windshield he ask me what was wrong with the dash and that is when I saw it.
