1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2020

The dash board is cracked from the driver side all the way to the passenger side airbag. Upon doing research, this is a common occurrence with these models. I've contacted gm customer care and advised them of the issue as well as my concern that the cracked dash board may puncture the airbag and become inoperable during an accident.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2017

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.

3 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2017

We have only personally owned our 2013 GMC Yukon denali since October 2016 and looked at it as a luxury vehicle which is far from the truth. This vehicle always has a uv protection visor up when not garaged and there is a huge crack above the passenger side airbag which is very concerning. This is not safe and with flimsy interior like this, GMC has no business charging the prices that they do for their cars. This problem is all over the internet and we even bought into an extended bumper to bumper warranty that the dealership is saying will not cover it. This is a huge safety concern for me and its unfortunate that gm's interior is cheaply made and they're not willing to honor their vehicles when they fall apart. I traded in a Dodge ram that had immaculate interior that never cracked and now I'm stuck with a vehicle that is falling apart.

4 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2016

The dashboard around the passenger side airbag is cracked and the piece of the dashboard is falling down away from the airbag. I feel that the airbag has been compromised because of this and worry about pieces of the broken dashboard flying into mine or my children's faces if the airbag ever has to inflate.

5 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2016

The contact owns a 2013 GMC Yukon denali. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked over the passenger side air bag. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,000.

6 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2016

Our 2013 denali which we purchased new in 2014 has had a cracked dashboard above the passenger side airbag for more than a year (~2 years old). The integrity of the dash and airbag are problematic. There is no tangible support under the dash -- dealership says it's plastic!!! the vehicle was not in motion, just happened one day when it was parked in the driveway. Yesterday the outside passenger door handle broke off --- again, plastic parts instead of metal. If there was an accident, that passenger might not have an airbag properly deployed and nobody could open that door from the outside to rescue them!.
