I CAME OUT TO A CRACKED DASHBOARD THIS MORNING. THE CRACK IS RIGHT AROUND THE AIRBAG AND I'M CONCERNED THE CRACKED DASH CAN EITHER PUNTURE THE AIRBAG IF DEPLOYED OR SEND PLASTIC PEICES FLYING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED

STRUCTURE:BODY
OUR 2009 GMC YUKON DASHBOARD HAS CRACKS NEAR THE AIRBAG MECHANISM THAT COULD LEAD TO INJURIES RELATED TO SHRAPNEL SHOULD MY FAMILY BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. EVIDENTLY GMC IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD AND INSTEAD MAKING THE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACEMENT COSTS.
NHTSA complaint #10820890 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE:BODY
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, BY THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, AND OVER THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONTACT STATED THE CRACKS WERE EXTREMELY SEVERE AND GETTING WORST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.
NHTSA complaint #10816394 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DOOR HANDLES ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE BECOME SO SHARP THAT WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR THEY CUT YOUR FINGER. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD OUR FINGERS CUT FROM SLIGHT TO VERY BLOODY. THIS APPEARS THAT IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT GM REFUSES TO DEAL WITH.
NHTSA complaint #10663189 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE
DASH CRACKED ON CORNER OF WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS LOCATED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL EITHER PREVENT THE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN A CRASH, OR TEAR THE AIRBAG UPON DEPLOYMENT, OR WORSE, SHOOT PROJECTILES OF DASH TOWARD MY CHILDREN WHO ARE PASSENGERS.
NHTSA complaint #10648645 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE
THE TOP COVER OF THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK ON THE HUMP ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIR BAG...GOD FORBID THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY. THAT COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. THE VEHICLE IS A 2009 GMC YUKON, WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY AND ADVANCES GM HAS MADE, I WOULD ASSUME THAT A SAFETY ISSUE OF THIS DEGREE WOULD WARRANT A RECALL OR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND RESPONSIBILITY FROM GM.
NHTSA complaint #10620786 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE
DASH BOARD CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TOP LEFT OF THE AIR BAG...AIR BAG IS NOW 1/2 HIGHER THAN THE SAGGING DASH. THIS IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE AIR BAG IS NO LONGER PROPERLY SUPPORTED.
NHTSA complaint #10586692 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE
DASH IS CRACKING CLOSE TO AIR BAGS. CONCERNED IT MAY NOT DEPLOY OR WILL GET PUNCTURED BY THE EXPOSED CRACK.
NHTSA complaint #10575448 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE
FEBRUARY 2014 I HAD NOTICED 3 CRACKS ON MY DASH BOARD, 2 OF THEM BEING RIGHT BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED GM TO FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS WITH THE AIR BAGS. THEY WANT ME TO PAY $900 TO HAVE THIS FIXED BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM IN CONSTANT WORRY IF MY AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY AT ANY POINT IN TIME DUE TO THE CRACKS. OR IF I HAPPEN TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WILL MY AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOY OR WILL THERE BE A DEFECT IN THE AIR BAGS DUE TO PLASTIC CUTTING THE AIR BAG OPEN ON DEPLOY. GM IS VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS I KNOW 500 CASES ALREADY WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AS THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME CONCERN.
NHTSA complaint #10575161 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE
CRACK NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG, ABOVE STEERING WHEEL AND ANOTHER STARTING TO FORM NEAR THE INITIAL CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY PRETEND THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, THOUGH THERE ARE HUNDREDS COMMENTS ON FORUMS/GROUPS ONLINE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MINE AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION WHERE THE AIRBAGS MAY DEPLOY. WILL THEY DEPLOY PROPERLY? WILL THE SHARDS OF PLASTIC FROM THE FAULTY DASH CAUSE FURTHER INJURY? GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES AND DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEIR CONSUMERS BY REPAIRING THE DASHES.
NHTSA complaint #10543684 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE
THE CHROME PLATING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE IS SEPARATING FROM THE DOOR HANDLE AT THE TOP OF THE HANDLE, AND IS EXTREMELY SHARP (CAUSED CUT TO FINGERS ON RIGHT HAND); AFTER THIS HAS HAPPENED I SEARCHED ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE GM ACTION TO RESOLVE AND FOUNDS REPORTS ONLINE OF THIS BEING REPORTED FOR 2007 AND 2008 GM VEHICLES (ALTHOUGH MINE IS A 2009). INVESTIGATION WAS SUPPOSEDLY STARTED BUT CANNOT FIND RESULTS OF THIS. SPOKE TO MY GMC DEALER AND THEY HAD NO ADVISOR'S TO RECTIFY AND WOULD DO SO AT COST.
