2011 GMC YUKON DENALI XL Complaints

THE DASHBOARD IN FROM OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK IN IT. THE CRACK STARTS AT THE SEAM AND GOES ALMOST TO THE FRONT OF THE DASHBOARD. IT IS ABOUT 9 - 10 INCHES LONG. THE DASHBOARD HAS ALSO BECOME SEPARATED WHERE THE FRONT AND BACK PART COME TOGETHER IN THE MIDDLE. I HAVE READ WHERE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND COULD BE CONSIDERED A HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING CAUSING THE DASHBOARD TO BREAK APART AND SEND SHARP PIECES OF THE DASH FLYING THROUGH THE INTERIOR. I HAVE READ WHERE THESE CRACKS ARE VERY COMMON ON 2007 - 2013 GM TRUCKS AND SUVS. IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFLECT AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. I WAS QUOTED 1,600.00 TO REPLACE THIS BY A DEALERSHIP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE THAT I PAID IN EXCESS OF 60K FOR. YOU SHOULD FORCE GM TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM. A PICTURE OF MY DASH IS ATTACHED. I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE OF WHEN IT HAPPENED AS YOU CAN'T SEE IT WHEN SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. I DID FIRST NOTICE IT LATE THIS SUMMER OF 2016. WITH THE CRACK AND THE SEPARATION IT DOES VIBRATE AND RATTLE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. HERE IS A LINK TO A PETITION WITH ALMOST 10 THOUSAND SUPPORTERS. HTTPS://WWW.CHANGE.ORG/P/RECALL-2007-2013-VEHICLES-DUE-TO-THE-SAFETY-OF-CRACKED-DASHES.

THE DASH STARTED TO CRACK - I CHECKED WITH GM (SERVICE) - AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM - I SPOKE TO GM AND THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE (EVEN THOUGH THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE). GM WILL NOT SUPPORT ME ON THIS PROBLEM

CRACKED DASH OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. CRACK BEGAN IN JUNE 2016. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. THIS IS A DENALI VEHICLE WHICH SHOULD BE THE TOP OF THE LINE. THIS VEHICLE IS KEPT UNDER A CARPORT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE CRACK WAS NOTICED.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO SEPARATE PLACE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT SHOULD THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOY THAT THE SECTION OF DASH NOW UNATTACHED WILL BE SEND FLYING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CAUSING A FATAL WOUND. THIS IS NOW THE 2ND VEHICLE I HAVE PURCHASED WHERE THIS HAS OCCURRED. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD OF THE FULL SIZE GM TRUCK/SUV PLATFORM AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY OVERNIGHT WHEN THIS CRACKING OCCURRED BOTH TIMES.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE CAR WAS UNOCCUPIED AND PARKED.

DASH HAS CRACKED ALMOST IN HALF ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AM CONCERNED ABOUT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT BEING COMPROMISED OR SENDING SHARDS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

DASH IS CRACKING AND CONNECTS TO AIRBAG. CONCERNED THAT IT WILL EFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. SAFETY ISSUE.

DASHBOARD CRACKING THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2011 GMC YUKON XL DENALI HAS CRACKED NEXT TO THE AIRBAG WHICH WOULD POSE A GREAT DEAL OF HARM SHOULD THE VEHICLE BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND SPLINTER OR CAUSE A FAULT WITH THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 53,355 MILES ON IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AS I AM RESEARCHING AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND OCCURRENCES.

MY DASHBORD IS CRACKING. GETTING WORSE. GMC NEEDS TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. I2 PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH ALSO HAVE GM TRUCKS/SUV AND THEY ARE ALSO CRACKING IN THE SAME AREA. MAKE THESE COMPANIES STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE PLEASE.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT THE CORNER WHERE THE AIRBAG WOULD BE DEPLOYED. WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THIS CAR HAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS WILL TAKE PLACE. MY CONCERN IS WHETHER THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY AND NOT GET RIPPED BY THE SHARP EDGE OF THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD. THE DEALER WANTS $1000. TO REPLACE THE DASH THAT SIMPLY CRACKED FROM THE TEXAS HEAT. ANY STUDIES ON THIS? THIS JUST CRACKED WHILE SITTING PARKED. THE DATE OF APRIL 1, 2016 IS AN ESTIMATE.
