Carrier/rack problems of the 2010 GMC Yukon - part 2

My dashboard has been slowly deteriorating until yesterday. When I got in this morning I noticed additional cracking and one crack is so bad that it is caving in around the passenger side airbag. I am not comfortable that this will not affect the functionality of the airbag or that it will not throw pieces of plastic dash around if it has to deploy. Additionally, there is chrome wrapping on the door handles and the passenger door inside and out has begun to peel. My wife sustained a deep cut on her index finger and I have to tell every single person who gets in or out to be careful not to touch the sharp pieces. I called gm and they said it was not really a concern and advised I deal with an authorized service center. My translation was that this will cost me greatly to repair something that should not be happening on this class of vehicle.

Dashboard cracked at passenger air bag. If deployed pieces of plastic will fly thru the passenger compartment and hurt or kill passengers or puncture ai bag rendering it useless.

Dashboard has two large cracks in it, affecting the area around the airbag. Additionally, it rattles, causing the cracks to grow. It has been repaired by the dealer twice without success.

The dashboard is cracking in multiple places by the airbags. I am concerned that there will be shards of plastic flying at me/my family should an airbag deploy. The cracks are growing and happen at a standstill and while driving. I know this is a known problem with 2007-2013 dashes because there is a facebook group with over 4000 members who own gm products (yukon, tahoe, silverado etc) they are all having the same problem!!.

Dash is cracking in two places and near the air bag compartment. No trauma caused the cracking and no armor all or like products have ever been used on the vehicle in any area.

The dash panels are cracking around the passenger side airbag and directly in front of the driver. The vehicle is 5 years old and has 86,000 miles and the cracks developed in the last month. Nothing has hit the dash to break it, it just cracked and the cracks are spreading. I am concerned about flying plastic shrapnel of the airbag were to deploy.

Our dashboard cracked on the passenger side above the passenger side airbag area. The entire dashboard shakes and moves while the car moves. The dash is very unstable.

Dashboard cracking.

Dash cracked over the instrument panel and the passenger side airbag in about five different places.

The dash is cracking all over, from one side to the other. Started as a small crack and is now the entire dash very quickly.

Huge dashboard crack in front of passenger side.

Dashboard is cracked badly on drivers side and passenger side. If air bag deploys the plastic will be shattered and blown across the cab. It will eventually fall apart altogether and make any sudden movement of he car a risky proposition with the dashboard falling into the drivers lap and distracting him from driving. It is a support problem that has allowed normal vibrations due to driving to crack the plastic through fatigue stress.

Our 2010 GMC Yukon xl has been garage kept and well maintained. Like many other GMC truck owners our dash cracked right near the passenger airbag. It is getting larger and has started to expose the components underneath the dash/airbag cover. This has been reported on news channels and a law suit has apparently been filed in florida. Hopefully the dealership or gm will repair.

Cracked dash. . . The dash is cracked on the top left corner of the passenger side airbag. . . I really hope that this does not cause the airbags to malfunction in case of a collision. . . Also it is cracking above the instrument cluster in a couple of places. . . . When you pay a lot of money for a vehicle, you should get a quality product.

Vehicle was parked, mild fall weather. Found that dashboard just above driver's instrument panel is severely cracked, excessive vibration and noise when operated and potential harm to operator if air bags deploy.

Dashboard crack.

I have two major cracks in my dashboard that are getting larger and larger. My concern is that if there is any type of accident and the airbags go off there will be bits of plastic that fly towards you as well. GMC will not do anything nor help anyone with this issue.

I have a 2010 Yukon denali and the dash has cracked. From web searches, it appears to be happening to individuals with similar vehicles from 2007-2013. A second crack appeared behind the passenger dashboard near airbag shortly after the first crack appeared. . Read more...

After 3 years I had my dashboard replace due to a crack & rattle which was covered under an extended warranty but still cost me $500. 2 years later the replacement dash has cracked and I have yet to replace it due to cost.

Dual cracks on dash. One by air bag and the other by instrument cluster. Just started the car one day and the cracks appeared. No crash no chemicals were used.

Takata recall and dash cracked @ 39,475 mileage causing the dash to be weak and crack at 2 other places on opposite side of dash between steering wheel and windsheild.

Dash has cracked above speedometer area from window to the steering wheel. Another dangerous crack against passenger air bag. Feel unsafe letting people ride in the front set because of it.

We own a 2010 Yukon and have a cracked dash board, this looks to be the result of poor design and cheep plastic. I see that 1000 of other gm/chevy owners have experienced the same issue. From what I can see the dealership would love to fix this at the owners expense $2,000. You would think that after you pay close to $50,000 that gm would consider this an important customer relation issue. Also not to mention the safety hazard this poses.

2 large cracks on dash board near the airbag storage on both right and left side.

Dash is cracked severely and it looks like it will impact the arirbags. The cracks are growing aggressively! not a good look for a high end luxury SUV!!.

Dashboard cracked above steering wheel and above passenger air bag. Rattles and shakes constantly. Afraid it may affect the air bag and be a hazard. Cracks seem to be getting bigger.

The dashboard on our 2010 Yukon denali xl is cracked over the instrument panel. It's horrible sounding and causes big concern for a safety issue. It can be a projectile during a crash or even worse. Gm should place a recall since thousands of gm vehicles have this same identical issue. We all pay enough for their vehicles. We shouldn't have to pay for their defects as bad as this one.

My dash is cracked leading to passenger airbag. I took it to the dealership and I was told it was not a covered time and it would cost me $1200 to fix. Dash just started to crack.

Dashboard is cracked above instrument panel. The crack is 12 inches long. It is also cracked completely to airbag on passenger side. This causes very loud rattling when driving. I am concerned it affects the quality of the airbag's ability to deploy. I am concerned that dashboard fragments may be propelled in the event of airbag deployment.

I got in my car to take my kids to school and notice the hub above the steering wheel was cracked going down and connected to a second spot that was also cracked in a prong pattern. It was not cracked the afternoon before when I picked up my children from school.

We purchased a 2010 GMC Yukon and it has a crack in the dash! we had been told by all dealers that this is common and will be noticed on almost any that we purchase! would like to know why there hasn't been a recall? its definitely an issue on a very expensive vehicle. Frustrating to pay 28k for a vehicle that has a major cosmetic decline! GMC will only replace if you spend several hundred yourself out of pocket!.

To whom it may concern; I own a 2010 GMC Yukon. I as well as others have a cracked dashboard, one near the deployment of my airbag and one on the driver side by the steering column. Considering GMC's interest in the safety and quality of their vehicles. It is a shame that there is not a recall because of such reason as death! there is a huge concern that the sharp edges of the cracks can absolutely cause he airbag to deploy and getting your hand cut and infection is a definite possibility. Not to mention the attention that the cracked dash is. When someone is walking by it is very noticeable and looks bad for GMC. This has been broadcast-ed on the memphis, TN news lately and one dash out of plenty has been properly taken care of. If this issue is not resolved and the importance of this I do plan on going to the news and taken further action. I would want to think that GMC would want to have higher standards and be compliant with this known, ignored and on going issue! waiting until damage is done is not the right thing to do. Fixing this issue is the right thing to do and GMC should stand with that. I will be waiting to hear from someone very soon. Thank you in advance!.

Dashboard cracks around instrument cluster and around passenger air bag cover. The cracks appeared after we owned the vehicle for a few years and were not the result of a wreck or abuse of any kind.

Dashboard crack at air bag. Crack runs from air bag to air vent and has caused dashboard to sag and drop. Concerned defect may affect air bag deployment.

My 2010 GMC Yukon xl has a cracked dash in 2 places that the dealership will not replace.
