2010 GMC Sierra 2500 Extended Cab Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2010 GMC Sierra 2500 Extended Cab

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Date of incident: 2020-04-01

Complaint:
"there are two cracks on the dashboard. the first crack is above the instrument panel on the left side of it. the second crack is above the airbag in the left hand corner on passenger side. truck is garage kept and not a daily driven truck it spends most of its life in the garage out of sun. the dashboard plastic is a cheap material compared to the slightly flexible plastic that is on the doors. there are thousands of complaints with various models of gm and chevy with this exact problem in the same spots throughout the internet. there was not a specific incident in which i recall for the dashboard to crack. but the ease at which the dash has seemed to crack, the location of one around the airbag and the amount of complaints with this issue makes it seem like it is possibly a hazardous defect that could cause pieces of the dash to become shrapenal in the event of a crash or airbag deployment given the cracks are located directly in front of the driver and directly in front of the passenger around the airbag."
