2013 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS CRACKED AND THE PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD IS FALLING DOWN AWAY FROM THE AIRBAG. I FEEL THAT THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THIS AND WORRY ABOUT PIECES OF THE BROKEN DASHBOARD FLYING INTO MINE OR MY CHILDREN'S FACES IF THE AIRBAG EVER HAS TO INFLATE.

HEY ANDY I HAVE A 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. I GOT IT OCTOBER 2014, AND WILL HAVE OWNED IT THREE (3) YEARS THIS OCTOBER. AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES, I DISCOVERED A CRACK ON MY DASH NEAR THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I PUT IN A COMPLAINT AND THEY (GMC) TOLD ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL DEALER SHIP AND THEY WOULD SALE ME THE DASH AT COST, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR. THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE ABOUT $800.00. I TOLD THEM THE TRUCK IS JUST A FEW THOUSAND MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. AFTER THOROUGH RESEARCH, I FOUND THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS I.

CRACKS ON DASHBOARD. MINE HAPPENS TO BE NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SLOT. THIS IS OCCURRING TO MANY SIMILAR GM VEHICLES. DOING A WEB SEARCH SHOWS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS WAS NOTICED A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN IT WAS NOTICED. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS.

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED OVER THE STEERING COLUMN. I UNDERSTAND THIS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND GM WILL NOT HONOR THE REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DASH. I WOULD LIKE TO ISSUE A FORMAL COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THIS PRODUCT. A FORMAL INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE REQUIRED CONCERNING THIS DEFECT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND JOINED A GROUP OF APPROXIMATELY 6,000 OTHER PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK WHO HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR DASHBOARDS. M. I HAVE ALSO TALKED TO DEALERSHIPS WHICH HAVE INFORMED ME THAT GM WOULD NOT HONOR THEIR DASH AND IF I REPLACED THE DASH THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN DUE TO POOR DESIGN. AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A FORMAL INVESTIGATION INTO WHY THIS DESIGN IS DEFECTIVE. AS A CONSUMER, WE PAY A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES AND EXPECT TO HAVE A QUALITY PRODUCT.

CRACKING ON THE INTERIOR DASH BOARD ABOVE AIRBAGS AND STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN WITH NO SPECIFIC REASON OR ACCIDENT CAUSING IT.

DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DASH HAS ALSO SEPARATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH BEHIND SPEAKER. MAKES A HORRIBLE NOISE WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

I PURCHASED NEW, TWO, GMC YUKON DENALIS IN 2007, 2013. BOTH DASH BOARDS ARE CRACKING AND POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. I USE THESE VEHICLES FOR PLEASURE "ON ROAD" ONLY USE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THE 2007 TO COLLEGE NOW AND HER DASH BOARD IS CRACKED FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND FLAPS AROUND WHILE DRIVING/OPERATING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD, THIS IS A HUGH DISTRACTION. THE DEALER, THAT I PURCHASED THE TWO NEW VEHICLES FROM CLAIMS THAT IT IS NOT THERE PROBLEM AND BLAME GMC, WHO WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE ON EITHER VEHICLE. I STILL OWN AND DRIVE BOTH VEHICLES TODAY AND AM BUILDING A CASE FOR WHEN SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THE LARGE DASH CRACKS FLAPPING AROUND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WELCOME ANY ASSISTANCE FROM GMC OR MY GMC DEALER TO ADRESS THIS KNOWN DASH CRACKING ISSUE ANYTIME? I ALSO WELCOME NHTSA TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND RESPOND BACK TO A SOLUTION OTHER THAN THE $1,000.00 DEALER SOLUTION FOR ME TO FIX THIS ON MY OWN. THANK YOU
