It happens haha. Pretty disappointing they overlook stuff like this when it's one of the first things you see every time you get in your truck. Considering the temperature extremes and UV light that part of the dash is exposed to; you'd think they'd make sure the plastic they select can handle it without warping or rattling.

I am at 10k Miles on my crew cab taco built truck, I have the same thing on mine. I am not overly concerned but it did start when temps got well below 0.

I am taking mine to the dealer on Friday...it's just starting but feel like I should take it now rather than wait until a year later.

Windshield issue

It is just a narrow filler strip that snaps in between the main dash and the windshield. Not a hard job to replace but the part is molded too thin without extra ribs in it to keep it from bowing up. It is held in with clips in the sash as in the 900's.

My 2015 double cab has yet to show any issue with the dash (fingers crossed) and I'm nearing 15,000 miles

However the 2015 crew cab wt we have at work has this issue, and it only has a couple thousand miles on it

This was one of the first things I noticed when I went to test drive mine, only had 18 miles on it but had been on the lot since October. I'm due to have the dealer fix some other issues and was going to have them address this as well. Now I fear if they replace it that the new one may wind up being worse.

I just read through the thread and proceeded out to the truck with a flashlight haha! I've got a 2015 Sierra crew with almost 21k on it with no problems on the dash. [emoji120][emoji120]

The dealer has ordered a new panel and new dash extension both parts will be replaced they said it's the first truck they see with this problem and that it should not have happened. GM will cover the cost.

GM has no update or fix for this so you have a truck that already has the lofted piece, will have it, or already replaced it with another one that will lift.

 

Would be great if GM had a updated part.

 

Some might think it is no big deal but the last gen truck was known for the entire dash cracking out and GM never did anything, good luck trying to sell a truck with the entire dash cracked out of it.

Just had this piece replaced, same problem.

 

I am going to fix it myself, maybe add some metal plate to glue to it

I have started to notice this same thing with my 2014 Sierra. The truck is garage kept and I live it the south so I can't say it is from the cold.

Mine had it from day 1. I noticed it at 14 miles. Will have them address it along with a few other things this week.

I say you take it in have it replaced even if others on this site say the new part will do it as well. This is my plan, have it replaced now, if it happens again in the next 6 months I will have it replaced again and again...we all need to do the same so that we have some sort of paper trail ignoring the problem will not create a solution. Once GM receives countless invoices for the same thing our voices will definitely be heard. I am considering writing a letter to the corporate office just to get the ball rolling...they do not want this angry woman on their bad side. :)

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
