2012 GMC Sierra 1500 complaints

DASH CRACKED NEXT TO AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE OF DASH WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 37 NORTH OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TX.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND ANOTHER CRACK HAS FORMED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE. BOTH CRACKS HAVE FORMED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS BEGINNING WITH THE ONE AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE TRUCK IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES AT THIS TIME.

STARTING ISSUES,IGNITION?DEALERSHIP CANT SEEM TO FIND PROBLEM?HAPPENS NOW AND THEN,SOMETIMES IT WILL START AND THEN TURN OFF.THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TOO START VEHICLE.

GOT IN THE TRUCK A YEAR AGO AND NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICE 2 MORE CRACKS BOTH BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS HAPPENED AT AROUND 55,000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME I NOTICED THE CRACKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AND EXITING A PARKING SPACE, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE POWER STEERING OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID. *TT CONSUMER STATED STEERING WHEEL FAILURE HAPPENED AGAIN ON NOV.27,2018 AND REMAINED LOCKED. AFTER CONSUMER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME UNLOCKED. VIN IS INVALID.*JB

PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE SOMEHOW BECAME DISENGAGED AND JUST FULLS OUT LOOSELY. HAVE TO GET IN AND OPEN FROM INSIDE. IT APPEARS TO HAVE A PLASTIC HOOK ON THE HANDEL THAT MUST HAVE DISENGAGED FROM SOMETHING INSIDE THE DOOR. DOOR HARDLY GETS USED. IS THIS ACOVERED PROBLEM???

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING A STRONG ODOR OF GAS COMING THRU MY AIR VENTS WHILE MY VEHICLE IS RUNNING, PARTICULARLY WHILE I AM IDLING AND JUST AFTER ACCELERATION. MY MECHANIC STATED HE HAS REPAIRED SEVERAL OF THESE ISSUES ON OTHER GMC'S. THE PROBLEM IS THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IS RUSTED WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED AND GAS SPRAYS UPWARDS ONTO THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE BED AND IS VERY COSTLY AND DIFFICULT TO REPAIR. I'M SURE GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO IGNORE THE ISSUE. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!

SEVERE CRACKING DASHBOARD

WHEN VEHICLE STARTS MOVING FOREWARD FROM A DEAD STOP AND WHEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 1ST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR THERE IS A HARD CLUNK.THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 15000 MILES.WHEN I BRING TO DEALER ,THEY WANT TO KEEP TRUCK ,LEAVING ME WITHOUT VEHICLE.WIFE AND I WERE ON MAJOR HWY AND HAD TO SHUT VEHICLE DOWN IN TRAFFIC TO STOP THE CLUNK.VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

MY ENGINE HAS A TICK,,BROUGHT IT TO A SHOP HE TOLD ME LIFTERS AND ITS EXPENSIVE...WENT TO DEALER,,, TOLD ME I NEED LIFTERS 2600.00 TO FIX IT AND APPARENTLY MY LIFTER ISN'T GETTING OIL IN IT , "FROM ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT" WITH I HAVE READ ALL OVER INTERNET THAT ITS A HUGE PROBLEM AND PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY TO FIX,,,BUT WONT FIX THE ISSUE DO TO THE FACT THE AFM CUTS THE CYLINDERS OFF CAUSING THE LIFTER TO NOT GET THE OIL

THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING AN ERROR MESSAGE FLASHED ENGINE REDUCED POWER, STABILITY CONTROL LOSS. TRUCK STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER 2015 ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. I HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE SYSTEM FROM THROTTLE BODY TO THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT ALONG WITH THE CRACKS IN THE DASH AROUND AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND REFUSES TO RECALL AND FIX CRACKS IN AIR BAG HOUSING COULD POSE A SAFETY HAZARD ALONG WITH LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FROM FAULTY WIRING.

CRACKED DASHBOARD - THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 SERIES TRUCK HAS CRACKED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. NOW, DUE TO THE SEVERE COLD, THE CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS EXPANDING DUE TO THE EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION OF THE PLASTIC THRU INTERIOR HEATING AND RAPID COOLING OF THE VEHICLE. THESE CRACKS OCCURRED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON STATE HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES.

ON COLD MORNING STARTS, FRONT BRAKE PADS WILL ENGAGE ROTOR, AND RELEASE VERY SLOWLY. THEN ON A TURN, FRONT PADS WILL ENGAGE, LOCK FOR A SHORT TIME, AND THEN SLOWLY RELEASE. SEEMS LIKE ENGINE HAS TO WARM UP BEFORE BRAKES ACT NORMAL. AFTER COLD MORNING STARTUP, BEFORE MOVING VEHICLE, IF BRAKE PEDAL IS PUMPED REPEATEDLY FOR 30 SECONDS, BRAKES WILL TRY TO ACT NORMAL, WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVED. I AM ON MY 2ND SET OF FRONT PADS AND ROTORS. 1ST SET WERE SEVERALLY WORN. TECH SAID IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR CALIPERS WERE STICKING.

DASH CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE AIR BAG. IT CRACKED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, AND WAS RUNNING TO HEAT THE VEHICLE WITH THE HEATER AND DEFROST. INTERIOR TEMPERATURE WAS SET TO 75, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 35. DASH CRACK EXTENDS FROM THE AIR BAG WHICH APPEARS TO CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE.

EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAK COMPLETELY OFF MAKING THE DOOR UN OPEN ABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL BUT HAVE YET BEEN CONTACTED OR ABLE TO HAVE THE BAGS REPLACED. HEARING OF MULTIPLE DEATHS, IS MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE?

AIRBAG RECALL

THE STABILITY TRACK CONTROL CAME ON AND I TOOK IT BACK TO A GMC DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY COVERED IT. THE PROBLEM WAS THEY TOOK 9 DAYS TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I WAS OUT 9 DAYS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE.THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME BACK ON AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK. IT OCCURS WHEN I AM ON THE STREET MOVING.

TAKATA RECALL DASH IS CRACK ON THE TOP AT AIRBAG AFRAID IN A CRASH THAT THE BAG CAN LUNCH SHARDS IN TO PASSENGERS OR THE BAG WILL BE RIPPED WHEN DEPLOYED

DASH HAS CRACKED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO THE FRONT OF DASH CAP AND ALONG INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO THE FRONT OF DASH CAP. THIS CAN EASILY CAUSE A PROBLEM SHOULD THE AIRBAG GO OFF. AT THIS POINT I BELIEVE THE CENTER OF THE DASH WOULD SHATTER SENDING SHRAPNEL TO EVERY DIRECTION INSIDE THE TRUCK SHOULD THE AIRBAG GO OFF OR A COLLISION. FOR ME TO REPLACE THIS IS GOING TO COST $1000.00 THIS IS GMC'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR ENGINEERING AND POOR QUALITY. THEY SHOULD FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SPEND $1000.00 ON A $60,000.00 TRUCK BECAUSE THE DASH ISN'T SUPPORTED PROPERLY TO KEEP FROM FALLING APART. BESIDES, WHY SPEND $1000.00 ON A NEW ONE WHEN IT'S JUST GOING TO CRACK AGAIN. STRUCTURAL FLAW!!

DASHBOARD SURROUNDING AIRBAG AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS CRACKING AND ESSENTIALLY DISINTEGRATING. IF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYS OR I'M INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THESE SHARP PLASTIC FRAGMENTS WILL BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS TRUCK HAS 38K MILES AND IS IN OTHERWISE PRISTINE CONDITION WITH ZERO SCRATCHES ON THE INTERIOR PARTS ASIDE FROM THESE DASH CRACKS. THE PLASTIC IS PROTECTED EVERY THREE MONTHS AT LEAST WITH AEROSPACE 303 AND PROTECTED FROM SUNLIGHT WHEN NOT IN USE. THIS IS NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE, IT'S A STRUCTURAL DEFECT. THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED.

DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER SAFETY BAG.

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD RIGHT BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON THE INBOARD SIDE. AS THE DRIVER, I AM WORRIED THAT A SHARD OF PLASTIC COULD EXPLOSIVELY TEAR THROUGH MY SKULL, KILLING ME, IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. GMC NEEDS TO FIX THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!!!

THE DRIVERS SIDE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. AFTER REACHING DOWN TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE THE METAL ATTACHED TO THE HANDLE SNAPPED OFF AND I WAS LEFT HOLDING THE PLASTIC HANDLE AND UNABLE TO OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE METAL IS MADE FROM A BIMETAL PRODUCT AND APPEARS TO BE FRAGILE AND LITE FOR THE PURPOSES OF OPENING THE DOOR. INCASE OF AN EMERGENCY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATING SITUATION. AFTER SEARCHING ON-LINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM MANY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING WITH THEIR GMC VEHICLES. I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED, I DID NOT PUT UNDO PRESSURE ON THE HANDLE.

DASH CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT, PIECES FROM THE SURROUNDING CRACKED DASH MAY BE SENT FLYING TOWARDS THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE.

DASH HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ALL THE WAY TO WINDSHIELD, AND HAS CRACKED FROM WINDSHIELD TO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER.

ON 26MAR2017 I NOTICED A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 27MAR2017 AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW FLYWHEEL. I WANTED A SECOND OPINION BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A FLYWHEEL GOING BAD IN MY LIFE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A FEW MECHANICS WE ALL AGREED THAT IT WAS NOT THE FLYWHEEL. ON 4APR I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE TICKING WAS THE FLYWHEEL. THE FLYWHEEL HAD TO HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE AT TIME OF MANUFACTURING. IT JUST CRACKED FOR NO GOOD REASON OTHER THAN IT WAS POORLY MADE. 2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 FLYWHEEL JUST CRACKED OUT OF NOWHERE ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF AN ENTIRE FAMILY AND WHO KNOWS WHO ELSE IF IT HAD SHATTERED.THE VEHICLE WAS TICKING AFTER A MORNING START WHILE SITTING IDLE.

THE DASH IS CRACKED OVER THE AIRBAG AND THE CRACK IS GROWING

$17,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE ON MY GMC ALL AIRBAGS WENT OFF MINUS THE DRIVER SIDE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG. WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 75 MILES PER HOUR FELL ASLEEP AT WHEEL RAN INTO THE BARRIER WIRES. DAMAGE ALL OVER THE TRUCK 360UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK LUCKILY NOBODY WAS INJURED EXCEPT FOR MY OWN BODY. I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS THE ONSTAR WOKE ME UP AND I CRAWLED OUT OF THE WRECKAGE MEETING THE HIGHWAY PATROL. IT'S BEEN JUST OVER FOUR YEARS I'M STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE INJURY.

THE DASH IS CRACKED, THERE ARE TWO CRACKS WHERE THE AIR-BAG IS, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR-BAG. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND INVOLVES SEVERAL MODELS AND SEVERAL YEARS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. SEVERAL PEOPLE REPLACED THEIR DASHES AT THEIR EXPENSE ONLY TO HAVE THOSE CRACK ALSO.

DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS. EACH CRACK IS ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG. ONE OF THEM IS ON THE LEFT SIDE, ABOUT 12 INCHES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE OTHER CRACK IS ON THE TOP-LEFT CORNER OUTSIDE OF THE AIRBAG AREA. THE CRACKS HAVE BEEN GETTING BIGGER IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. IT APPEARS THAT IF AN AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THE SHARP END OF THE CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INJURY RATHER THAN PROTECTION. NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSED IT. NO KNOWN OBJECTS HAVE BEEN PLACED ON DASHBOARD TO EXERT SUCH FORCE TO CAUSE IT TO BREAK.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK WITH ALL 4 TIRES GOODYEAR WRANGLER AT/S 265/70 R17 DOT NUMBER 4BT6 FDER 3411 ON AUGUST 19,2016. I HAVE HAD A SHAKY/BUMPY SENSATION SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK & THE TIRES ALWAYS WORE UNEVEN. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 47,541 AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. ON FEBRUARY 15, 2016 AT A MILEAGE OF ROUGHLY 60,440 TWO OF THE TIRES HAD BELTS BREAK. I HAD THE TIRES CHECKED BY MULTIPLE REPAIR PLACES & WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A TIRE DEFECT. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE TIRES. I BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES OF A DIFFERENT BRAND. I AM UNSURE OF THE MILEAGE PUT ON THE TIRES BEFORE MY PURCHASE, BUT I ONLY PUT AROUND 13,000 MILES ON THEM BEFORE THE ICCURANCE.

DASHED CRACKED NEAR AIR BAG

DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION (WHILE DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY) THE DASHBOARD ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG CRACKED. IT IS ON THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE FRAMEWORK AROUND THE AIR BAG COVER ON THE WINDSHIELD SIDE. I DO NOT STORE ANYTHING ON TOP OF THE DASHBOARD AND ALWAYS USE AN ALUMINIZED SUNSCREEN PROTECTOR IN THE WINDSHIELD 9 OUT OF 12 MONTHS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE CRACK TO OCCUR (UNKNOWN CAUSE). *TR

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. IN A CRASH OR AIRBAG INFLATION, LOOSE SHARDS OF DASHBOARD PLASTIC MAY BECOME HAZARDOUS FLYING DEBRIS OR THEY MAY PUNCTURE AND/OR CUT THE AIRBAG PREVENTING PROPER AIRBAG INFLATION AND DECREASING THE AIRBAG'S EFFECTIVENESS.

TAKATA RECALL: A CRACK HAS APPEARED ON THE DASH LEADING TO THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE! MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS MAY AFFECT DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG, AND OR CAUSE PIECES OF DASH TO BECOME SHRAPNEL!

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS SINGLE PIECE EXTENDS OVER TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.

DASHBOARD CRACKING AROUND AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AND INSTRUMENT PANEL ON DRIVER SIDE. THE THIN BRITTLE PLASTIC MAY BE A HAZZARD WITH AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND I'M NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS.

DASHBOARD ON DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER AIRBAG CRACKED

DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS CRACKING.

THE DASH IS CRACK AROUND AIRBAG WITH 16000 MILES ON TRUCK

CRACKS ON BOTH SIDES OF DASH BOARD

THERE ARE 4 CRACKS IN THE DASH OF THE TRUCK AND 1 ON THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MY CONCERN IS IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED IT COULD POTENTIALLY SEND PLASTIC FLYING PROJECTILES AND CAUSE BODILY INJURY OR WORSE LOSS OF VISION. GM HAS NOT HAD A RECALL BECAUSE THEY CLAIM ITS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN BUT THERE MUST BE A TEST PERFORMED IN ORDER TO RAISE A SAFETY CONCERN OR WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS HURT
