2010 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (GILCHRIST CHEVROLET BUICK GMC DEALERSHIP TACOMA, 6014 S TACOMA WAY, TACOMA, WA 98409, (253) 777-3085) WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR LONGER THAN 3 YEARS. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHEN THE REMEDY AND PART MAY BE PROVIDED SO THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO FURTHER DISCLOSURE FOR THE REMEDY AND PART. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED. AN ENTIRE PIECE CRACKED OFF JUST OVER THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE AIR BAG. I AM NOT CERTAIN EXACTLY WHEN IT CRACKED.

CRACKED DASH, I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT I FEEL IT WOULD CAUSE SHRAPNEL TO BE FLY EVERYWHERE. VERY SHARP PLASTIC WOULD FLY AS ANY PASSENGER ESPECIALLY IF THE FAULTY AIR BAGS WENT OFF.

DASH CRACKED OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN ABOUT FIVE DIFFERENT PLACES

I BOUGHT MY 2010 YUKON DENALI USED FROM A LOCAL USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM, AL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE DASH LOOKED TO BE FINE. EARLY IN THE SUMMER I BEGAN TO HAVE CRACKING RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND QUICKLY SOON AFTER NOTICED A LOT OF CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAGS. THIS MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT; WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE DASH PIECES? THEY WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THIS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL OF THE GMC FAMILY OF SUVS FOR ABOUT A 5 YEAR PERIOD. GM HAS EVEN CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE REPLACEMENTS DUE TO THE CHEAP WORKMANSHIP OF THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS A SAFETY HAZARD.

DASHBOARD CRACKED. THERE IS A CRACK ALL OF A SUDDEN ON THE DASH PANEL ABOVE THE ODOMETER. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND NOT EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUN OR EXTREME COLD MUCH AT ALL.

NOTICED CRACKS IN DASHBOARD. ONE OVER THE INST. PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE OTHER IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT UP TO WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED.

DRIVING BACK FROM A LOCAL SKI AREA TO HOME, THE DASH CRACKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES. THE TEMPERATURE WAS A LOW OF 30 DEGREES THAT DAY AND WE TURNED THE DEFROSTER ON TO ABOUT 69, NOT LIKING THE CAR HOT. IT GOES RIGHT INTO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG STORAGE WHICH MAKES ME WONDER IF THE DASH WILL EXPLODE IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS OR IT COULD POP THE AIRBAG BEFORE OR DURING IT'S USE.

2010 YUKON DENALI HAS 87,000 WELL BELOW THE AVERAGE AND TWO CRACKS FORMED. ONE ON THE CLUSTER SIDE THE OTHER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEXT TO THE AIR BAG. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THE AIR BAG DEPLOYING AND SEND PARTS OF THE DASH OUT TOWARDS THE OCCUPANTS. MY VEHICLE STAYS IN THE GARAGE WHEN NOT IN USE AND ALSO HAVE THE SUN SHADE FOR IT.

MY PLASTIC DASH BOARD IS BADLY CRACKED IN MULTIPLE SPOTS, THIS IS A SAFELY CONCERN OF MINE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I ALWAYS HAVE PASSENGERS WITH ME, MY WIFE, CHILDREN, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I WORRY THAT IF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYS THE PLASTIC WILL FLY OFF AT A HIGH SPEED AND HARM SOMEONE WORSE THAN THE COLLISION IMPACT. PLEASE TAKE THIS COMPLAINT INTO CONSIDERATION.
