Description of the problem | Purchased our 2008 gmc 2500hd from classic gmc new. Have taken the truck in teice to try to get them to replace the cracked dashboard. They admit it is a common complaint. They did say that gm has paid to replace some dashboards or paid partial if still in the warranty period. Of course by the time we realized it was a common issue the truck was out of warranty. We recently (dec. 2017) took the truck to classic to get a trade-in value & they only offered $13k because the dashboard was cracked. So, hoping there is a class action filed. The cracking certainly will be a factor if the airbag ever deploys. |
