CAME OUT TO MY GARAGED YUKON TO FIND A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I NOW HAVE ANOTHER VERY LARGE CRACK IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE IS ALSO A SECOND CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG WHICH HAS CREATED A TRIANGLE PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT IS NEARLY LOOSE AND LOOKS LIKE IT COULD FALL IN THE DASH OR BECOME A PROJECTILE IF THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY.

2011 GMC YUKON DENALI HAS 2 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD POSING A SAFETY CONCERN. ONE CRACK IS AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE OTHER IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA OR GMC. THE CONCERN IS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND PIECES OF THE CRACKED DASH BECOMING PROJECTILES. I NOTICED THIS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN DECEMBER OF 2017

THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE CRACK IS ABOVE DRIVE CONSOLE AND THE OTHER CRACK IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IN ADDITION, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD MAKES TERRIBLE NOISES. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 64,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN STORED MOST OF THE TIME IN THE GARAGE. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE CRACKS, THEY JUST APPEARED ONE DAY MID JANUARY 2018.

WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE SEPTEMBER 2017 AND DIDN'T NOTICE THE CRACKS UNTIL AFTER WE PURCHASED. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME SEEING THE POTENTIAL RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS AND AN OBVIOUS DEFECT HAVING TO DO WITH THE CRACKS FOUND ON MY DASH. ONE CRACK IS OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHERE MY 14 YEAR OLD SON USUALLY RIDES AND THE OTHER OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. DOES IT REALLY TAKE SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS CRACKED HAS APPEARED TO CAUSE THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE DASH TO SAG. I'M AFRAID THAT IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, THE CONDITION OF THE DASH WILL CAUSE UNNECESSARY INJURY. THIS EXACT PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG THIS MODEL.

THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ON TOP OF GAUGE CLUSTER. I AM CONCERNED THE DASH MAY SHATTER IN A CRASH IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY DUE TO THE CRACK CAUSING THE ENTIRE DASH TO BE COMPROMISED.. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD A AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT HAPPEN. I HAVE NOTICED THE DASH HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR BUT DIDNT FIND OUT UNTIL TODAY THAT IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OTHER GM OWNERS.

THE DASHBOARD IN OUR 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI CRACKED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE AUDIO/NAVIGATION CONSOLE. IT NOW VIBRATES AND MOVES DURING NORMAL DRIVING, PARTICULARLY ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAVE NEVER PLACED OR MOUNTED ANYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD, AND THE TRUCK WAS NOT IN USE DURING THE APPROXIMATE TIME OF CRACKING, STRONGLY SUGGESTING THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH RESULTING FROM DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS WITH A CRACKED DASHBOARD. THERE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AS INDICATED BY THE NUMBER OF INTERNET COMPLAINTS AND NEWS RELATED STORIES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED AND IS UNSAFE. THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES HAVE THIS DEFECT AND GMC IS IGNORING THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHERE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BRACKETS FOR THE LENGTH OF THE DASHBOARD THAT CREATES THE CRACKING. EVEN IF YOU SPEND $1200 TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY DESIGN IT WILL CRACK AGAIN. A RECALL MUST BE INITIATED. NEWER MODELS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. GM OFFERS NO HELP TO CONSUMERS ON THIS ISSUE.

MY GMC DENALI 2011 DASHBOARD SUDDENLY CRACKED IN TWO PLACES -THEY ARE CLEARLY STRESS CRACKS WITH NO SUPPORT UNDERNEATH. ONE CRACK IS ON THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, OTHER ABOVE STEERING WHEEL. SHOULD THE PASS AIRBAG DEPLOY, I'M NOT SURE IF IT WOULD WORK PROPERLY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF IDENTICAL SITUATIONS WITH THESE MODELS IN PARTICULAR. GMC OFFERS NO COMPENSATION BECAUSE THERE ARE 100S OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE REGARDING THIS ISSUE, MAYBE MORE. WEBSITES ARE ORGANIZED FOR GMC CRACKED DASHBOARDS! THIS VEHICLE HAS NO ACCIDENT HISTORY. IT CRACKED RANDOMLY. THE DASH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CRACKS ARE GROWING WITH THE VIBRATION OF THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION. THANK YOU

THE DASHBOARD HAS A LONG HORIZONTAL CRACK ACROSS THE MIDDLE. IF THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOY, IT WOULD SEND SHARP SHARDS SPEEDING ACROSS THE INTERIOR OF THE CABIN. NOTE: I HAD TO FILL IN A DATE BELOW ABOUT WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED -- I'M NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE. AS SUCH, I FILLED IN 1/1/16). THE ACTUAL DATE WAS A FEW WEEKS OR DAYS BEFORE I WENT TO CARL BLACK DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE.

MY YUKON DASH IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. THE DASH IS FLAPPING DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING AND SENDING SHARDS OF PLASTIC EVERYWHERE. I HAVE YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP VEHICLE. WE BOUGHT THE BEST. I AM SHOCKED THIS IS NOT A RECALL. I AM VERY CONCERNED.

THERE IS A DEFINITIVE, UNPROVOKED CRACK THAT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2011 YUKON DENALI WHEN IT WAS STATIONARY IN MY SECURE GARAGE. THE ENTIRE TOP PANEL NOW SHAKES AND VIBRATES AS A RESULT OF THIS CRACK. I TRAVEL WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS, AND AM GROSSLY CONCERNED THAT AS THE CRACK CONTINUES TO GROW LARGER, SO DOES THE POSSIBILITY THAT SHOULD MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, ONE OF MY SMALL CHILDREN OR MYSELF WILL BE FURTHER INJURED BY THE BROKEN PLASTIC ON THE DASHBOARD. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN LARGE CRACK FIRST APPEARED IN THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK ORIGINATED FROM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD A N RUNS TOWARD THE DRIVER SEAT.

I HAVE TWO CRACKS ON MY DASH ONE AT THE TOP LEFT OF PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IT IS ABOUT ONE INCH LONG. THIS PARTICULAR CRACK IS IN THE SAME LOCATION WHERE 6,000 MEMBERS ON A FACEBOOK PAGE HAVE THE EXACT SAME CRACK. THE OTHER CRACK IS IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH ON THE WINDSHIELD VENT. I AM WANTING A FORMAL INVESTIGATION FOR THIS ISSUE! WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN OR IF WE WILL EVER BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR PLASTIC SHARDS BLOWN OUT AS SHRAPNEL CAUSING MORE INJURY IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS.
