10 Carrier/rack 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.

11 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2018

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. I worry that if an airbag deploys the plastic will fly off at a high speed and harm someone worse than the collision impact. Please take this complaint into consideration. Thank you ryan waganer.

12 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 04/20/2018

Driving back from a local ski area to home, the dash cracked right in front of my eyes. The temperature was a low of 30 degrees that day and we turned the defroster on to about 69, not liking the car hot. It goes right into the passenger airbag storage which makes me wonder if the dash will explode if the airbag deploys or it could pop the airbag before or during it's use.

13 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

Dashboard near airbag is cracked and spreading,danger if airbag deployed.

14 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2017

Cracks in dash that could effect airbag deployment and/ or send pieces of the dash flying towards me in the event of a crash.

15 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 10/31/2017

Cracked dash, I believe it's a safety issue. If I were involved in an accident I feel it would cause shrapnel to be fly everywhere. Very sharp plastic would fly as any passenger especially if the faulty air bags went off.

16 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2017

Cracking has begun on the dash of my Yukon. This seems to be a common problem with these vehicles. Although not as bad as I have seen it on other people's vehicles, the problem will eventually morph into a major safety issue.

17 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2017

Dash board cracked overnight in two places. Fine one day, broken the next. Right by the airbag area.

18 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2017

All the sudden the dashboard started cracking in two places. One is above the steering wheel and the other is by the passenger side airbag on the dash also. It was just in my garage. Not cracked one day and started cracking the next. There was no damage done to the car it just occurred by itself.

19 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2017

The vehicle has a cracked dashboard which can be a safety feature for the air bags etc. GMC knows they have an issue but won't recall it.

20 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2017

Dash is cracked in 2 spots, around air bag on passenger side and over instrument panel on drivers side.

21 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2017

Upper dash around passenger airbag is cracked, apparently from online information a common and wide spread problem. Crack in dash is a safety concern if airbag deploys. Possible fragments from dash will injure passengers or others in vehicle should airbag deploy.

22 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2017

Got in my vehicle today and cranked it and heard a noise, didn't hear it again, so I backed up and put it in drive and started out of the parking lot, and heard this rattling noise and looked up and my dashboard had cracked and the entire middle section was moving up and down as the vehicle moved. I took it straight to the GMC dealership for them to check, and yes he said it had cracked and it would need to be replaced, cost approximately $800. I have not heard of a dashboard on a car cracking in many years. I thought technology was to a point that this didn't happen any more. Then I see on line there is a problem with the Yukon denali's and other gm products that are having the same problem. Sounds like a material defect to me. This can cause an accident as it is distracting, you are trying to drive and you hear this squeaking noise and the dash is moving up and down right in front of your eyes. Accident waiting to happen.

23 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2017

Dash has 2 cracks. Took it to an upholsterer last year to try to stop the crack and it worked until now. The crack is at the instrument panel. The second crack is at the air bag inset.

24 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 05/06/2017

2010 Yukon denali has 87,000 well below the average and two cracks formed. One on the cluster side the other on the passenger side next to the air bag. This could potentially be a safety hazard in the event of a crash the air bag deploying and send parts of the dash out towards the occupants. My vehicle stays in the garage when not in use and also have the sun shade for it.

25 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2017

Dashboard is cracking where air bags are in both sides.

26 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2017

Dashboard is cracking.

27 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 11/07/2016

Dash board cracked inboard of passenger airbag, and cracked additionally along the glare shield above the instrument cluster. Vehicle was stationary sitting in driveway. Cracks were noticed about 8 am following a night with temperatures around 50f.

28 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2016

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!!.

29 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2016

I have already written a complaint last year with no response. Since my complaint of the crack I have on the driver side it is now a hole. It is exposing all dash wires and is very, very sharp. This is very hazardous as the temps outside can melt the wires and the dash can cut your hand!!! this is ridiculous that GMC made plastic dash's to hold up in all temp's when we all know that's not possible. The hole is very visible and is more than 4 inches wide!!!.

30 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2016

I have tried for over a year to have the airbag serviced, no dealership has the information or equipment. Dash has even cracked from this airbag.

31 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2016

Dash board cracking in two different places. One over the instrument panel and 1 around the airbag opening.

32 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2016

7/2/16 we cleaned our Yukon getting ready for the beach and noticed a new crack above the instrument panel in the dash with sharp edges which if a crash happened could send protruding objects towards the driver possibly injuring the driver and puncturing the air bag causing it to malfunction. We only drive this vehicle on weekends and on vacation. It is garaged at all times. It is babied!! this just happened. A vehicle of this expense should have a sturdier made dash and it shouldn't crack without a crash or hit like a wreck! as I was doing research this is not a new issue GMC has and their are many vehicles that have this same issue. Why hasn't this been recalled yet? are they waiting on an injury or death? this should be a safety issue. From what I have read from others pieces continue to fall out and exposes mechanical parts undnerneath the dash. We have the extended bumper to bumper warranty but haven't had the time to take it to our local GMC and I hear it isn't covered. This is ridiculous and GMC needs to be held accountable. To pay 40,000 for a vehicle it shouldn't have a cracked dash with under 70000 miles! I have contacted a lawyer handling a class action lawsuit but we shouldn't have to do that. Tv might be next. I was just washing the inside windows when I noticed it.

33 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 06/13/2016

Dashboard cracked above steering wheel and passenger side airbag. The car was stationary - parked.

34 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

Dash has cracks causing concern if in the event we were in a car accident and the comprised dash pieces were to hit us.

35 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2016

The dash panel is cracked in several places and could affect the air bag deployment during a crash. I have been told the cause of the cracks are due to a combination of the flexing of the automobile, lack of proper support and heat.
