2009 GMC YUKON Complaints

DASHBOARD IS FAILING EXTENSIVELY DUE TO AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT. AREAS OF FAILURE INCLUDE UP TO AND AROUND THE PORTION WHICH SAYS "AIR BAG" WHICH IS CREATING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN. PLASTIC FRAGMENTS ARE LOOSE ON CRACKED AREAS OF DASH. THIS PRESENTS A POSSIBLE HIGH-SPEED PROJECTILE HAZARD IF AIR BAG(S) ARE DEPLOYED AND CATCH ON LOOSE/CRACKED AREAS DURING DEPLOYMENT. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY INCIDENTS. DASHBOARD SURROUNDING AIRBAG CRACKED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL CRACKS AS TIME GOES ON. FINALLY, DASHBOARD IS VIBRATING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING ADDITIONAL CRACKS AND FRAGMENTS OF PLASTIC TO COME LOOSE. DISCUSSIONS WITH MECHANICS INDICATE THAT ENTIRE DASH MAY COME LOOSE AND FALL IN TO DRIVERS OR PASSENGER UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL IN ADDITION TO POSSIBLE AIR-BAG PROJECTILE HAZARD. TWO LOCAL GMC DEALERS INDICATED THAT THIS IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR AND THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD REPLACE THE DASH ON THEIR OWN IF THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN BY THE CONSUMER.

A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH DASHBOARD CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES IS A SAFETY CONCERN IF AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED. GM WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE DEFECT. MANY COMPLAINTS AND NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAFETY CONCERN. DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES DIRECTLY BEHIND AIRBAG.

THE DASH IS CRACKING ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THIS IS A NOTED SAFETY ISSUE SINCE AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY CREATE FLYING BROKEN PARTS FROM THE DASH. THIS IS A WELL REPORTED ISSUE THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN COVERED BY A RECALL. OVER 3700 OWNERS HAVE JOINED A FACEBOOK GROUP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/?FREF=NF. DEALERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVE FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS DEFECT AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS.

THERE IS CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD FROM THE UPPER LEFT SIDE OF THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. THE DASH IS ALSO CRACKED ABOVE WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL AND INSTRUMENT PANEL IS. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

THE VEHICLES DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. THE FIRST CRACK HAS OCCURRED IN THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INTRODUCING A POTENTIAL STRUCTURAL AND DEBRIS CONCERN UPON AN AIRBAG DEFLATION. THE SECOND CRACK HAS OCCURRED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF THE DASH PANEL.

I HAVE TWO CRACKS IN MY DASH. ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND ONE THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE AIRBAG.

A FEW WEEKS AGO THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK ON MY 2009 GMC YUKON. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW ON 10/10/09 AND HAD ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRE 10/2015. WARRANTY EXPIRED ANOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THIS HAPPENED. I WENT ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY FOLKS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE WITH AN ACTIVE LAWSUIT. GMC SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPARI THIS FAULTY DASHBOARD TO AVOID FURTHER INJURY OF PLASTIC FLYING IN PASSENGERS FACES IF AN AIRBAG EVER DOES DEPLOY.

OUR 2009 GMC YUKON DASHBOARD HAS CRACKS NEAR THE AIRBAG MECHANISM THAT COULD LEAD TO INJURIES RELATED TO SHRAPNEL SHOULD MY FAMILY BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. EVIDENTLY GMC IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD AND INSTEAD MAKING THE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACEMENT COSTS.
