The dashboard is cracked on the passenger side possibly damaging the passenger side airbag. The vehicle was stationary. Came out one morning and it was cracked. Had a friend who had a brand new denali and it happened to his in less than 1 year from purchase.
Dash has started cracking around passenger side air bag. If in an accident and the air bag is deployed I fear that myself and my passengers may be affected or harmed by the debris due to the compromised structure or the dash board. Currently in contact with GMC via twitter to seek resolution. Vehicle is stored in a covered parking garage not effected by sunlight.
Vehicle dashboard cracking around passenger side airbag. Concerned over the possibility of the fracture splintering if the airbag were to deploy and puncturing the airbag and/or sending pieces of hard plastic into the face of passenger and/or other occupants.
The top of the dashboard is cracked around the passenger side airbag. I am concerned about the possibility of loose dashboard pieces becoming projectiles upon airbag deployment.
My family's 2008 GMC Yukon has a cracking dashboard cover. This problem started earlier around 100,000 miles but now there is one large crack and one smaller crack above the portion of the dashboard where the instrument cluster is located. I am concerned that eventually this whole portion of the dashboard cover may crack and fall into the dashboard which could possibly affect electrical components located within the dashboard. Also I have noticed some signs of a crack forming next to the passenger side airbag cover. At any point while driving the vehicle I can hear the dashboard cracking and popping loudly.
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!.
Our 2008 GMC Yukon denali xl has developed a crack in the dashboard right at the corner of the airbag. We have concerns if the passenger side airbag ever deploys, sharp pieces of the broken dash may break loose and injure passengers in our vehicle.
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.
