Dashboard cracks around instrument cluster and front passenger air bag. My dashboard started to crack a couple or years ago and is now cracked all over. It is also a safety issue.

It is close to 1300 dollars and GMC does not respond. Clearly this is a quality issue.

16 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2015

Plastic dashboard is cracking. GMC dealer quoted a $1,000. 00 replacement cost. Dealer proposed my cost would be $600. 00. Same dealer replaced cracked dashboard once before at no cost to me. This certainly appears to be a manufacturer's defect but dealer disagrees.

17 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2015

Crack forming on dashboard near left corner of airbag. My denali is always parked in a garage and I started noticing it last month. I've seen other people post their dashboard pics with the same crack.

18 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2015

I have a large section of my dash pad broken on the drivers side. I also have a crack on the passenger side. This was not caused from abuse but from inferior materials. It appeared sometime in 2015 with about 130,000 miles on it. I have owned it since new. My concern is in the event of a crash, along with the dangerous takata airbags that I'm still waiting to be replaced, will plastic be sent through the air from airbag deployment?, or will we wait for someone to be injured or killed to get gm to resolve this situation. By the way gm has sent me a recall notice and told me they are waiting on parts. That has been over 3 months ago. I also have another truck for airbag recall. Just for the record my wifes 2007 chevy silverado 1500 received a crack in the dash at about 80,000 miles. This is an epidemic but I sure gm will escape again just like in the past. It takes one small fragment in the right place such as an eye to change someones life forever. Just think if it was someone you loved sitting in that truck.

20 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2014

Cracked dashboard in 2 places. Including a crack into the passenger side airbag. I'm very concerned due to having two 2 year olds in my car. The cracks began approximately 2 years ago. Our Yukon has regular maintenence and garage kept. I am very concerned this will cause my airbags to potentially engage!.

21 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2014

The dashboard in our Yukon has cracked just in back of the airbag. The concern is if the airbag ever has to deploy, the airbag will either tear rendering the airbag useless, or the dashboard will shatter sending plastic pieces throughout the front and back seats at a high rate of speed. I've done enough research to know this is a wide spread problem, yet gm is only offering to pay for half of this expensive replacement. In the mean time I have parked this vehicle and will not allow my wife to drive this with our two children.

22 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2013

The upper dashboard keeps developing cracks in the plastic around the passenger side airbag. I see this as a safety issue. If the airbags were to deploy, I don't know how much additional damage to the passenger due to broken pieces of plastic dashboard flying at the passenger.
