2013 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

DASH STARTED TO HAVE TWO CRACKS, ONE ON EACH SIDE OF DASH. EACH CRACK HAS CONTINUED TO RUN. THE ONE ON THE LEFT HAS NOW EXTENDED TO AREA OVER THE SPEEDOMETER DOME, THE OTHER CRACK HAS EXTENDED INTO THE SEAM OF THE AIRBAG ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH. VERY CONCERNED THAT AIRBAG COMPARTMENT IS COMPROMISED. THESE CRACKS WERE NOT CAUSED BY ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. THE CAR SITS UNDER CARPORT 90% OF THE TIME. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF GMC OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I AM WORRIED THAT MY SPOUSE, GRANDCHILDREN, OR ANY OTHER FRONT SEAT PASSENGER MAY BE SEVERLY INJURED. THIS DANGEROUS FAULT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY!!!

A CRACK FORMED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT EXTENDING TO THE CENTER DASH VENT WITHOUT CAUSE OR INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN MY GARAGE AT THE TIME THE CRACK OCCURRED. THE DASH NOW RATTLES AND SQUEAKS AND SAGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH.

I HAVE STRESS CRACKS IN A FAULTY DASHBOARD THAT HAS HAD NO BLUNT FORCE. THESE CRACKS ARE LOCATED AT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, CENTER SPEAKER AND ANOTHER AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER A PORTION OF THE DASH HAS COLLAPSED NOW. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR MOST OF THE TIME SINCE PURCHASED. SINCE WE BOUGHT OUR NEW HOME IT HAS BEEN OUTSIDE FOR LESS THAN 4 MONTHS AND THE CRACKS APPEARED. I NOW HAVE 4 AND COLLAPSED AREA.

PASSENGER SIDE OF DASHBOARD CRACKED WHICH HOUSES THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM. DASHBOARD SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED.

MY 2013 YUKON DENALI XL HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK ON THE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IT HAPPENED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE ENTIRE DASH IS NOW VERY LOOSE FROM DRIVERS SIDE TO PASSENGERS SIDE AND IT VIBRATES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING BOUNCING UP AND DOWN THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE DASH. IN ADDITION TO BEING QUITE LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS, IT IS UNNERVING TO THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I AM IN A COLLISION AS THE CRACK IS MAKING THE PLASTIC DASH BEGIN TO APPEAR LIKE A SPEAR TIP POINTED AT ME. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN A VEHICLE OF THIS CALIBER AND COST. AT LEAST THE WINDSHIELD IS DESIGNED TO BREAK INTO SMALL PIECES WITH TEMPERING...I WONDER IF GM SHOULD CONSIDER TEMPERING THE CHEAP PLASTIC THEY USE IN THEIR PREMIUM PRODUCT LINES SO THEY DON'T KILL SOMEONE WITH PLASTIC SHARDS OF JUNK PLASTIC.

MY 4 YEAR OLD DENALI HAS A CRACKED DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON BUT GMC WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REPAIR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DASHBOARD WILL CUT PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAG GOES OFF. THE CAR ONLY HAS 54000 MILES

WE HAVE ONLY PERSONALLY OWNED OUR 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI SINCE OCTOBER 2016 AND LOOKED AT IT AS A LUXURY VEHICLE WHICH IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH. THIS VEHICLE ALWAYS HAS A UV PROTECTION VISOR UP WHEN NOT GARAGED AND THERE IS A HUGE CRACK ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH IS VERY CONCERNING. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND WITH FLIMSY INTERIOR LIKE THIS, GMC HAS NO BUSINESS CHARGING THE PRICES THAT THEY DO FOR THEIR CARS. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND WE EVEN BOUGHT INTO AN EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING WILL NOT COVER IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT GM'S INTERIOR IS CHEAPLY MADE AND THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO HONOR THEIR VEHICLES WHEN THEY FALL APART. I TRADED IN A DODGE RAM THAT HAD IMMACULATE INTERIOR THAT NEVER CRACKED AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS FALLING APART.

THE DASH IN OUR 2013 YUKON IS CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG AND POSES A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR SAFETY IN THE EVENT THAT AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. THIS PROBLEM IS UNDERSTOOD BY GENERAL MOTORS AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT CURRENTLY HAS POSSESSION OF OUR YUKON NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS DASHBOARD UNDER WARRANTY RATHER THAN PUTTING A DASH COVER OVER IT. MCELVEIN GMC IN SUMMERVILLE SC HAS THE YUKON CURRENTLY. 844-241-1281

OUR 2013 DENALI WHICH WE PURCHASED NEW IN 2014 HAS HAD A CRACKED DASHBOARD ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR MORE THAN A YEAR (~2 YEARS OLD). THE INTEGRITY OF THE DASH AND AIRBAG ARE PROBLEMATIC. THERE IS NO TANGIBLE SUPPORT UNDER THE DASH -- DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S PLASTIC!!! THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION, JUST HAPPENED ONE DAY WHEN IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. YESTERDAY THE OUTSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF --- AGAIN, PLASTIC PARTS INSTEAD OF METAL. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, THAT PASSENGER MIGHT NOT HAVE AN AIRBAG PROPERLY DEPLOYED AND NOBODY COULD OPEN THAT DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE TO RESCUE THEM!

THE DASHBOARD HAS MANY CRACKS AND HAS SEPARATED IN TWO LOCATIONS NEXT TO THE AIRBAG! THE VEHICLE IS KEPT IN A GARAGE, WELL MAINTAINED WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. MY FEAR IS IF, THERE IS A FRONT-END COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, CHUNKS OF THE DASH WILL BECOME DISLODGED AND POSSIBLY CAUSE MORE INJURIES.
