2011 GMC YUKON DENALI XL Complaints

THERE IS A LARGE CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK IS LOCATED OVER THE AREA OVER THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN. IF THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY, BROKEN PIECES OF PLASTIC COULD HARM THE DRIVER AS THE SAFETY FEATURES ARE WEAKENED. CRACK OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE. NO ONE , NOTHING CAUSED THE DASHBOARD TO CRACK, IT IS A DEFECT.

MY 2011 GMC YUKON XL DENALI, DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED OUT OF NOWHERE I GOT IN IT ONE DAY AND IT WAS THERE I NOTICED IT, UP THE DRIVER SIDE HUMP ON THE DASHBOARD, AND BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHAT IF I GET INTO A WRECK PIECES OF DASHBOARD WOULD GO FLYING EVERYWHERE, I HAVE EVEN CONTACTED GMC ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY DON'T CARE, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GLUE THE DASH BACK TOGETHER BUT IT'S STILL SPREADING, THE MORE I DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE MORE IT SPREADS.

OUR YUKON HAS A CRACK ON THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, AND ALSO A VERY LARGE CRACK ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HUMP OF THE DASH. THIS CRACK CONTINUES TO LENGTHEN DAILY. WE HAVE REAL FEARS OF THE PLASTIC BREAKING APART INTO SHARP SHARDS IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I WORRY ABOUT MY TEENAGERS RIDING IN THE FRONT SEAT AS I DON'T WANT THEM INJURED. ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG BREAKING THE DASH INTO PIECES IF THE AIRBAG INFLATES. WE RECEIVED THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL OVER A YEAR AGO, AND ARE STILL WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT. WE ARE MEMBERS OF A FACEBOOK GROUP WITH 6,200+ MEMBERS, ALL WITH CRACKS IN GM VEHICLES IN THE EXACT LOCATION. GM DENIES THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND TRIES TO BLAME THE ISSUE ON CAR BEING IN THE HOT SUN, USE OF ARMOR ALL, ETC... BUT IT SEEMS TO ME IF EVERYONE HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WE ALSO OWN A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL WITH AN IDENTICAL CRACK AT THE AIRBAG CORNER.

MY DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CRACKING WAS UNPROVOKED. THE CAR IS CLEAN, AND ONLY HAS 66K MILES ON IT. IN ADDITION, ONE OF THE CLIPS RECEPTICALS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE UPPER TRIM PANEL CONNECTS TO BROKE (IN THE CENTER PART OF THE DASHBOARD). NO IN ADDITION TO THE LARGE CRACK, THE DASH BOARD NOW RATTLES. I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES HANDY DURING THE TIME OF THIS SUBMITTER BUT I CAN PROVIDE THEM. 100'S OF OTHER HAVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM, THERE ARE FACEBOOK PAGES AND VARIOUS PERTITIONS.

SEVERELY CRACKED DASHBOARD IN MULTIPLE PLACES. EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY SHOULD THE AIRBAG INFLATE, OR DUE TO THE CRACKING IF IT WOULD EVEN OPERATE PROPERLY. THE CRACK GETS WORSE EVERY DAY DUE TO THE CONTINUOUS VIBRATING OF THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE REMEDY THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE, MOSTLY DRIVEN BY FAMILIES WITH 3 OR MORE CHILDREN, PLEASE CONSIDER THIS STRONGLY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY.

VALVE LIFTERS NEED REPLACED. RESEARCHED AND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. REPAIR SHOP ALSO SAID A COMMON REPAIR FOR THIS MODEL.

CRACKED DASH - IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, BROKEN PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH WILL BECOME PROJECTILES IN THE PASSENGER AREA.

DASHBOARD CRACKING AROUND AIRBAG AND WE ALSO HAVE A RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAG BUT NO REMEDY

WE HAVE OWNED BOTH A 2007 GMC YUKON SLT AND A 2011 GMC YUKON XL DENALI. IN BOTH VEHICLES, WE HAVE STARTED THE CAR ON AN EXTREME WEATHER DAY (COLD IN THE 2007, HEAT IN THE 2011) AND HEARD A LOUD CRACK. AFTER INSPECTING THE DASHBOARD, THERE IS A LARGE CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. SINCE THEN, IT HAS EXPANDED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE AIRBAG. THE DASH WOBBLES WHERE IT IS CRACKED WHEN DRIVING AND MAKES SOME NOISE. IF WE WERE IN A WRECK, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PLASTIC WOULD CRACK WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND SEND SHRAPNEL THROUGH THE CAR. *TR

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE AREAS. ONE PLACE IS AROUND THE AIR BAG . I AM CONCERNED THAT IN A COLLISION THE DEPLOYING AIRBAG WOULD SEND DASHBOARD DEBRIS THROUGH THE CABIN!
