The dashboard has severely cracked and could cause harmful plastic to shoot towards passenger if the airbag is deployed. This also causes the interior to make loud dash sounds while driving affecting the experience of the drive.
Dashboard cracked on driver's side and passenger airbag.
Dashboard is cracking and will possibly cut airbag or driver in a crash. Plastic is brittle and could shatter. Suspension has poor dampening. Truck was repaired several times by dealer only to fail soon after repairs. Truck bounces over sharp bumps and becomes dangerous at highway speeds. Transmission shudders and shakes.
As per tread act that confirms reimbursement for recalled items, I replaced the takata airbag on 09/18/2019 after a recall issue by NHTSA, but prior to GMC manufacture initiating the repair. General motors refused to reimburse the cost of the replacement of the airbag. Under tread act the manufacturer is required to reimburse any repair prior to actual recall.
My Yukon's dash is cracked in several places, some extending 14 inches interfering with the passenger airbag. This is a safety concern for myself and my family. The second large crack is located above and behind the steering wheel on the dashboard as well. Nothing was dropped or anyway I or my family cracked it. After researching, this is a common issue with my make model and year. I believe gm should own this defect and protect its loyal drivers and consumers, rather than wait and see if an airbag doesn't deploy properly, god forbid, risking the lives of innocents. I served my country in iraq because I chose to, gm can choose to defend its consumers as well. Even a discount on repair or replacement would be appreciated as I know people just expect everything to be given to them. Thank you for your consideration.
Crack in dashboard on top of airbag.
Dash board panel has cracked open for unknown reasons causing a safety concern with sharp edges and openings that allow opportunities for foreign objects/items to enter vehicle controls and instrumentation panels. Passenger air bag at dash board seems defective due to cracked dash board panels and associated trim pieces. It appears than upon air bag deployment there would be possible additional occupant/passenger injuries due to the broken/loose fitting/sub-standard dash board plastic pieces.
The dash has cracked all away the cross of the pad and now has cracked producing jagged plastic shards around the airbag compartment.

As you're already aware of from several previous complaints, the dash board in our vehicle is cracked over the instrument panel, and is also cracked in the middle of the dash. It is spreading over the entire dash and compromised the airbag system, which is truly a hazard. I'm afraid to drive it. And, this is not a result of heat cracking the dashboard b/c we keep our car in the garage and hardly drive it during the week! this is definitely a defect with GMC and I don't know why they won't recall it!! even Toyota has the same issue, except they offered a recall and allowed owners the opportunity to get the issue fixed. This is truly a safety hazard and I'm so disappointed in GMC. Cheap and won't fix their manufacture mistake!!!.
I am the original owner of this Yukon denali and about about 2 years ago, a crack developed on my dash. I'm not sure how it happened, but one day, I just noticed it. I took it to the dealership that I bought it from, and they quoted me about $2000 to repair it. It just keeps getting worse, and I'm afraid that the air bag could deploy on it's on sometime because the crack keeps getting bigger. I also now have a crack on the driver's side dash above the steering wheel.
Takata recall. I am unable to get the airbag replaced due to a lack of replacement units. I called today and the dealer(days Chevrolet) does not have replacement units. My original notice from GMC is dated July 2016. I discussed the issue with GMC in January 2017 and they said no parts were available. I have called three other times in the period of time up to now. No parts. Why is there not a plan to address this serious safety issue? it is now two years from the first notice.

�takata recall" gm says it has no resolution for airbag recall as of 2/6/18. Also dash board has 2 cracks at passenger airbag. I am concerned dash board may injure passenger if airbag inflates. Gm case# 8-3791360606.
Air bag.
Air bags have been recalled for years and they have yet to replace them even after acquiring at multiple dealerships.
Takata recall - purchased from a dealer and called two other dealers and none have parts for the recall.
Takata recall after receiving a notice regarding the recall I contacted a local GMC dealer. I was told that takata has filed chapter 11 in the u. S. So the parts for this potentially deadly airbag recall are not available while "things get sorted out". That doesn't make me feel very comfortable as this is a vehicle driven by me or my wife with our 3 children inside.
Takata recall. GMC still refuses to replace the airbags in my vehicle.
The dashboard has large cracks over the instrument cluster and in the area of the passenger air bag. The dash flops up and down when driving. Concern is crack could prevent passenger air bag from deploring during a accident or ripping the air bag at deployment. Also liquid could accidentally go thru crack over instrument cluster causing electrical short or fire. The crack continues to get larger and larger.
The plastic dash is cracked next to the passenger airbag. According to the internet there are many and gm will not recall them. Don't know what would happen to the passenger if the airbag deployed with the plastic dash cracked around it.
Takata recall -- complaint: general motors has failed to offer a schedule, parts and a procedure to repair passenger side takata air bag problem after 6 years! please help?.
Takata recall. The air bags in the vehicle are dangerous and gm still has not replaced them.
Takata recall have not gotten them replaced as of Nov--called twice.
"takata recall" contacted gm dealer in baton rouge louisiana and was told there are no fixes to this recall. What do I need to do to ensure my employees safety while operating this vehicle.
I am being told that until gm finds a solution, there is nothing I can do. My clear concern is that I carry my 3 children in this car. I bought a bigger vehicle for the safety of my family and now I am stuck with a car with faulty airbags. I hope that gm does not wait until someone has a death due to faulty airbags, I can assure you that it will be far more expense.
