4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/09/2021

The open recall on this vehicle cannot be complete without the customer being fully responsible for damage that might be caused during the recall repair. Gm is advising all dealerships to force customers to sign a waiver if they have the recall work performed releasing gm and the dealer from all responsibility of any damage done to the dashboard. If the dashboard is damaged and has to be replaced then the customer is faced with a more than $1000 repair job therefore the customer must choose between feeding and caring for their family or risking the passenger being seriously injured or killed due to the faulty airbag issue. Gm should stand behind the decision they made to use cheap plastic for their dashboards on this vehicle instead of punishing their customers and costing them more money or risking injury or death to passengers.

12 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2019

My dashboard has cracked and is now in many pieces. I know it is expensive to replace so I've glued and taped it together to the best of my ability. The dash rattles and shakes throughout any trip I take. I love my car! I want it to be �healed�. It's very distracting to drive with your dash making all that noise. If I'm ever in an accident, even ever so small, I'm sure parts of that dash will go flying and hurt the driver and/or passenger. I also don't know how safely contained my dash-airbag is. My speaker and gps are also on that dash and are no longer installed where they should be causing more problems in their new locations which could result in something else not functioning like it was designed to be. I take care of my vehicles with regular tuneups and replacements where needed. This is beyond my control and is a serious flaw in this vehicle.

16 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2018

I bought my 2010 Yukon denali used from a local used car dealership in birmingham, al. When I purchased the vehicle the dash looked to be fine. Early in the summer I began to have cracking right above the instrument panel and quickly soon after noticed a lot of cracking around the airbags. This makes me very nervous if I were to be in an accident; what would happen with the dash pieces? they would become projectiles. After researching the internet it became apparent that this a known issue with several of the GMC family of suvs for about a 5 year period. Gm has even changed the design of the replacements due to the cheap workmanship of the original product. This should be recalled as a safety hazard.

My plastic dash board is badly cracked in multiple spots, this is a safely concern of mine due to the fact that I always have passengers with me, my wife, children, family and friends.

Takata recall - not only am I under the recall for my airbags that the dealer tells me that there is not a fix for yet on my car, but now I walk in to the garage today and my dash board has cracked around the airbag and up over the drivers side controls. How dangerous is this now that the dash has cracked, I have a crap air bag and now I'm seriously thinking my family is at risk on this should we get into an accident. That dash will break into several pieces should something happen and cause more injury. . . . Gm needs to fix both these issues ASAP. . . . . A recall is a must!!.
