I traded in a GMC hybrid June 2014 & purchased a 2013 GMC Yukon xl 1500 slt. The hybrid I traded in had a cracked dash. I just thought it was a rare thing that happened for whatever reason. My current Yukon also now has a cracked dash. After minimal digging, I have found this to be an issue in their vehicles made between a certain number of years. My dash crack is at my airbag. #1, & most important, is the safety of my passenger. #2 is the fact that I paid a huge amount for this vehicle. Any flaws or issues that are caused by the maker should 100% be covered and repaired. I have an appt. With the dealer. Lady said dash replacement is probably not covered and could cost me $500. 00 to repair. This is not my fault. I found where online that many people have this same problem. What do I need to do? I am unable to provide the date it happened. I went to clean it and noticed it was cracked. Took it into a local dealership; at that point it was recommended I go to the dealership I purchased it from.

Contacted gm since my standard warranty has expired and this is not covered under my extended warranty due to safety concerns with airbag in case of accident. I took to get estimate of cost to repair and owner had same issue with both his GMC Yukon's and his was replaced free. Advised to call gm for issue, they only wanted to cover 1/2 the cost of repair.

Hey andy I have a 2013 GMC Yukon denali xl. I got it October 2014, and will have owned it three (3) years this October. At about 40,000 miles, I discovered a crack on my dash near the air bag on the passenger side. This was about a year ago. I put in a complaint and they (GMC) told me to take my truck to a local dealer ship and they would sale me the dash at cost, but I would have to pay for the labor. The total cost would be about $800. 00. I told them the truck is just a few thousand miles out of warranty and this should not be my responsibility to repair a manufacturer's defect. After thorough research, I found there are others that have the same problems as I.
