Carrier/rack problems of the 2013 GMC Yukon - part 1

Dashboard had 1 crack known prior to takata recall, when picked up several new cracks now exist. Dealer denied any wrongdoing and suggested I purchase a cover to remedy the problem. GMC should be ashamed of quality control for dashboard as well as poor design/faulty door handles that break easily but entire panel purchase is the only remedy. No more general motor vehicles for me.

Cracked dash.

Cracked dashboard.

Top of dashboard cracking in front of drivers seat. The crack is traveling towards the driver and at times you can see it lifting up on one side of the crack. I'm afraid that once it totally cracks it will cause issues with visibility when driving and also objects from the damaged area to fly into your face will driving. Went to riverhead GMC for my nys inspection and was told that gm will not over it.

Dash cracked out in two different spots.

The dashboard is cracked. It rattles and shakes while driving. This is a known defect from GMC.

The dash on my 2013 Yukon has started to crack. It sits in a house garage, except when I am at work.

My Yukon denali was backed into while parked at my work parking lot and when I got into the vehicle to drive to the repair shop I noticed that the dashboard was cracked in the upper left side of the passenger airbag. I informed the insurance adjuster about the crack and they informed me that they could do nothing about it. He instructed that I take the vehicle to GMC and have them file a claim. I then went to the dealership and they informed me that gm would probably deny my claim, which they did. So now im stuck with a cracked dashboard in my otherwise perfect vehicle. I do not know what to do now.

Dashboard is cracking, dash is vibrating.

Cracks started appearing for no reason. Vehicle only has 24,200 miles and has been kept in garage.

Dashboard crack above steering column and airbag.

Dashboard is crack and crack is expanding. . . . Cheap material very disappointed.

Deep cracks in dashboard, including passenger airbag area, could pose serious risk by affecting the deployment of airbag. This is apparently caused by the poor quality plastic material used to manufacture the dashboard. This material cannot withstand the summer/hot climate.

Dashboard cracking and potentially expanding above gage cluster which would cause sharp plastic to break free upon airbag deployment and cause severe injury. Cause of cracking unknown, ~50,000 miles on vehicle normal non-extreme use.

Dash is cracked around airbag and column , in accident dash debris could cause bodily damage as a projectile.

I have 2 cracks in my dash near both airbags.

"dashboard crack" in 2016 I purchased my GMC Yukon denali xl for about $46,000. 00 at ingersoll auto of danbury, connecticut. At the time of purchased my Yukon was not covered under the bumper to bumper warranty, but I did purchased the extended warranty. On April 25, 2019 I noticed a crack on my dashboard just top of my instrument panel. That same day I reached out to gm and filed a report. They told me that there was nothing they can do and this was not a recall or a defect that gm would cover but insist me to contact a dealer to see about repairs. On or about 11:30am on 4/25/19 I contacted the service department at ingersoll auto of pawling NY. The service adviser I spoke to told me her never hear about this problem and said that the repair would not be covered under my extended warranty. The value of my vehicle has been diminished as a result of the dashboard defect. I would not have purchased the vehicle or would not have paid as much for it had I known of the defective dashboard's propensity to crack and/or that the defect can interfere with the planned deployment of the driver�s-side and passenger�s-side airbags.

My denali has a bad crack on the dash board and I hit a bump a piece of the plastic flew and cut my face , the dash is getting worse and this is becoming a liability. I will be contacting my attorney and the bbb, about this dangerous issue. I'm glad it was me and not my children that got injured.

In the last 12 months the dash has cracked in multiple places and the paint on the hood and roof has cracked and faded. I have already had the hood repainted but the roof is more extensive and should not have to be repainted after only 6 years. The dash is cracked near the airbag so if I'm in an accident the dash will splinter into the faces of the passengers.

The dash is cracking over air bags which could throw pieces as air bag deploys or could puncture airbag as it deploys.

The dash near the air bag on the passenger side all of a sudden cracked. Current mileage is 38,692.

There is a crack in my dashboard that could serious injury or death if the airbags deploy.

I have been having issues with the electrical components of the stabilitrak and abs systems. I have also been having problems with the electrical system that runs the instrumentation for the air,heat and blower. The main problem is that there is a crack on the dash in the left hand corner of the passenger air bag. This has been well documented by thousands on the internet. I called gm and they said there are no recalls but they issued a case #. This case # applies to all three problems for my vehicle.

The dash is cracking around the air bag and in front of the driver instrumentation area. Has less than 50,000 miles on the vehicle. Tried to get gm to repair but they refused.

The dashboard in my 2013 GMC Yukon denali is has begin to crack from the windshield to just in front of the steering wheel. It is starting to spread two ways. This could be a potential safety hazard if the air bags doesn't deploy properly because of the broken structure of the dashboard. Is there a voluntary gm recall or a NHTSA recall for this problem? the vehicle is well maintained and the crack spreads as the vehicle is being driven.

Dashboard cracked in 2 places. Passenger side above the glove compartment and driver's side above the instrument panel. I noticed the passenger side crack about 2 months ago and the one above the instrument panel today 2-3-19.

Dashboard has 2 cracks, one located above instrument panel/steering wheel as long as 6 inches. The other crack is located on left hand side above passenger air bag. This happened on my commute home.

Cracked dash over instrument cluster and passenger air bag.

Dash cracked at corner of passenger airbag. Happened while at dealer for state inspection and they refused to accept responsibility. Claim it happens 'all the time'.

Dash prematurely cracking causing additional risk to occupants in the case of a collision. Research shows many models with the same issue not being covered under warranty.

The dashboard around the airbag and steering/instrument cluster has severely cracked and broken. This is a safety hazard in the event of an accident the dashboard pieces become shards of shrapnel propelled by the airbag and/or impact of the crash. There have been no wrecks, modifications, or any other actions that would cause this damage - it is the result of faulty production.

Dashboard is cracking around the airbag on its own. Feel this may be a safety hazard.

Tires are bridgestone dueler h/l alenza 285/45r22 on a 2013 GMC Yukon denali 2wd with approximately 53k miles. While washing vehicle two days ago (1 oct 2017), I noticed cracks in the tire tread where the tread meets the side walls of 3 of the 4 tires. The cracks run at right angles to each other forming small triangles of tire tread that can be noticeably depressed. This indicates a serious impending tire failure of the sidewall. Although the tires have at least 15k miles (approx) of treadlife remaining, I am forced to replace them now for the safety of my family and other drivers.

I have two complaints about this car. 1st the dash has cracked starting at the left rear of the air bag cover to the rear seam of the dash. Even with a major guard protection plan 901770667 I'm being told it's not covered. This car is only 3 years old and 50,000 miles and I've learned that there are many more customers of gm vehicles with cracked dashboards. 2nd the inside door handle on the drivers side is broken. The small pieces of plastic under the door handle are all broken. This too isn't covered I'm being told. The door handle has been cracked for over a year . The crack in the dash just happened yesterday on 9/13/2017.

A crack formed from the passenger side airbag compartment extending to the center dash vent without cause or incident. The vehicle was stationary parked in my garage at the time the crack occurred. The dash now rattles and squeaks and sags in the middle of the dash.
