2007 GMC SIERRA- Consumers writing in about the recall notice and repair of the Takata airbag. Consumer stated " I made an appointment with the dealer." " After waiting in a long line to check in. the serviceman told me that to replace the airbag they would have to remove the dashboard and it most likely will crack during the procedure and the replacement cost is at my expense. He also said that he is not aware of any problem resulting if I choose not to have it replaced. If you can guarantee that replacing the airbag will not crack the dashboard or that you will cover the cost of a new dashboard, I will be happy to honor the recall notice." Recall notice attached.
METAL BRAKE LINES RUSTED PREMATURELY @ 29,900 MILES CAUSING BRAKE LINE TO RUPTURE. THIS CAUSED BRAKE FAILURE. TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED RUSTED BRAKE LINES.

I HAD A MINOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THEY WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I HAND MY VEHICLE TOWED TO SHOP AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED THRU IN THE BRACKET ON THE FIREWALL.
AS TRUCK WAS STARTED AFTER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND BEING PULL OUT OF GARAGE ON11/10/15 THERE WAS A FIRE UNDER THE FRONT OF TRUCK. WHEN THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED, THE MECHANIC SAW THAT THE WIRING WAS EXPOSED DUE TO CONTINUOUS SCRAPING AGAINST TRUCK FRAME.

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
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!
NOTICED A PUDDLE OF FLUID ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND IT TO BE BRAKE FLUID. THE ENTIRE RESERVOIR EMPTIED ON THE FLOOR AFTER A DAY.

TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC NEXT WEEK TO REPLACE ALL THE LINES. 9/1/2015

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
