2011 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS, ONE BEING AT PASSENGER AIRBAG. FEAR IS IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS, PLASTIC SHRAPNEL WILL GO AIRBORNE POSSIBLY HITTING PASSENGERS.

MY DASHBOARD CRACKED WITHIN 8 MONTHS OF ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. AFTER REPLACING THE DASHBOARD WITH A NEW ONE, THIS ONE IS CRACKING IN THE EXACT SAME SPOTS AS THE PREVIOUS ONE. GMC IS TELLING ME IT WILL COST $1000 TO REPLACE. I FEEL THIS IS FACTORY ISSUE AND A SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL AS IT IS NEAR WHERE THE AIR BAGS ARE. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

MY 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI HAS 50K MILES AND IS GARAGED DAILY. LIKE MANY OTHERS MY DASH IS CRACKING OVER THE SPEEDOMETER. I FEAR THE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS WILL SEND SHRAPNEL THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE WICH WILL CAUSE MY FAMILY AND I GREAT HARM. I THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND DEMAND A RECALL. I HOPE GM WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DO THE RIGHT THING.

CRACKED DASH BY THE PASSAGE SIDE AIRBAG AND IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. IT POSES A THREAT OF FLYING DEBRIS IN THE EVENT THAT THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. MY VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE AND HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE DIRECT SUNLIGHT ANYMORE THE 5-6 HOURS A DAY NO MORE THAN 4 DAYS A WEEK. I NOTICED THE CRACK AROUND NOVEMBER 2015 AND I SPOKE WITH A GMC SERVICE REP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE DASH BECAUSE IT'S A COMMON ISSUE IN THE SUV'S. HE INFORMED ME THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY $1200 TO GET IT REPLACED AND THAT HE COULD NOT INVESTIGATE MY COMPLAINT ABOUT AN ELECTRIC SPARK SOUND IN MY DASH UNDER THE SPEAKER BECAUSE IF HE DID THAT I MIGHT AS WELL REPLACE THE DASH BECAUSE THE LABOR CHARGE WOULD BE THE SAME. I PAID TOO MUCH MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE IN AN ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE SAFETY FOR MY FAMILY AS WE TRAVEL UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY FOR IT TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED OR MY SPEAKER SPARK INTO A FIRE. TOO MUCH MONEY!

THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES, ONE NEAR THE STEARING COLUMN AND ONE ON THE PERIMETER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I'M CONCERNED IT WILL EFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS MOSTLY STORED IN A GARAGE AND WAS NOT EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT FOR A LARGE AMOUNT OF TIME.

LARGE CRACK IN DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. FAULTY PRODUCT AS IT HAS NO MECHANICAL PARTS.

DASH IS CRACKED AT AIR BAG AND ABOVE SPEEDOMETER. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF PASSENGERS AND DECLINE IN VALUE OF VEHICLE

CRACKING OF THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND THE COMMON OCCURRENCE OF CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN THE GM FULL-SIZE TRUCKS AND SUVS CAUSES CONCERN OF POTENTIAL SHRAPNEL WITHIN THE PASSENGER CABIN IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

WHILE PARKED, A FULL-WIDTH CRACK FORMED IN THE AN APPROXIMATELY 1-INCH-WIDE SECTION OF THE DASHBOARD, IMMEDIATELY FORWARD OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT, IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THIS COMPROMISE IN DASHBOARD INTEGRITY WILL CREATE PROJECTILES WITHIN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD A LARGE CRACK AND A HAIRLINE CRACK WHERE THE AIR BAG WAS LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.
