Cracks me up

[relaxedhd]

I got a guy at work that has a 2012 2500 hd. His dash started cracking over the gauge cluster & by the passanger air bag. He said he keeps a windsheild visor over it since he bought the truck. He posted it on face book & apparently others have had this problem. I havent luckily on mine or another guy with a 2013 also. Dealer wont cover it here in utah told him to take it back to texas where he bought it. Has anyone else experienced it or know anyone?

My son's 08 has cracks same place. IIRC the dash is the same. It may or may not be covered. I had the issue on another vehicle and the dealer fixed it no question, but heard others say same as your buddy

My wife's '12 suburban is by the pass airbag also

I have the same issue on my 2011 2500HD

I guess they lost the recipe for non-cracking dashes. My 11 year old Sierra looks as good as the day it came out of the factory and I don't rally do much except wipe it off with a damp cloth couple of times a year....

My 03 Sierra isn't cracked but my wife's 08 Yukon Denali is cracked by passenger side airbag.

Our 09 Yukon is cracked on the top side above the gauge cluster. Started at the seam towards the windshield and working towards the steering wheel.

My wifes 07 Tahoe has cracked twice in the same place.

My 07 lmm is cracked by the cluster

My 11 still looks brand new when you wipe the dust off.. And it's been outside unprotected 100% of its life..

My '10 is cracked in a couple places. It lived under cover or with a windshield cover until I got it

I think my neighbor is cracked out?
But maybe he thinks I am, cuz I'm up late too?

Back on track...
This dash crack thing seems to be a NBS(GMT900) issue?
I have personally owned 3 GMT 800's and never once had an interior issue
Plenty of others tho

 

[02greysixer]

Even after my 05 had a meltdown the dash wasn't cracked. I should have been a dick and said the dash on the lmm cracked after the guy ran into me. But I didn't think of it in time

It is, to me the lmm feels like the cheapest truck GM has made.

 

[Hot COCOAL]

Funny, cuz I've had that same thought numerous times...
Over time, they grew on me, but still my least favorite GM truck in several renditions of the Silverado/Sierra...

The brand new trucks...now the brand new, new trucks are somethin else, in a good way...
The new trucks are (as they should be) the best trucks I've ever seen and ridden in, they're better than a caddy was from early 2000...and I'm talking about a 3/4 ton HD pickup...

More than likely GM and the rest of them had to make changes due to the ever evolving EPA standards with VOC's and every other chemical that causes some sort of human ailment per C.A.R.B. standards, keep in mind the EPA will be adopting C.A.R.B. standards across the board in next 10 years. 2016 or 2017 will be the first years all vehicles manufactured in the US will be CARB compliant emissions wise...

Remember back in the 80's when all the clear coat was being damaged by the sun, snow/moisture frozen on the hood etc..? That was about the time that the VOC regulations were being ramped up and all major companies had to start experimenting with waterborne products to reduce and comply with VOC emissions standards, and guess what, the public paid a price. Some vehicles were recalled but not all, I had a 1990 GMC 1/2 that I forced the dealer to fix even after 6 years....

More like GM was in trouble because of the crashed economy and the lmm trucks got cheap parts and they were throw together really fast. They got the worth dash rattles of any 2000-newer truck I've worked on

 

[Dozerboy]

No rattles on any of my street GMs ever. We do have a a few ranch trucks trucks that do but they get the shit beat out of them.

I had a 2011 1/2 ton for 3 years from the time it was new to 45,000 miles. I never had any interior problems but I did have all sorts of electrical trouble. Naturally the dealer tried to blame it all on me. At the same time my wife had a brand new 2011 Buick Regal Turbo. Talk about a POS. It had phantom electrical issues, went through a set of brakes and 2 struts in 17,000 miles. I thought both of us having brand new vehicles would be nice... I was wrong and don't know that i will buy a new GM vehicle again.

 

[Dozerboy]

I have a friend that had a ton of issues with there Buick Regal Turbo too. I don't recall the year though.
