On 06/07/2019 I purchased my 2008 GMC Yukon slt in a private sale with 43k miles on it hardly driven, a well taken care of SUV no cracks in the dash now a month and 1000 miles later I am driving and notice it has a crack in the driver's side of the dash 4" long near the seam in front of the instrument cluster, and a crack in the passenger's side of the dash 2" long at the corner of the airbag. I immediately saw this as a safety issue. The takata air bag inflators are under recall with a status of remedy not yet available according to the carfax I ran and at safercar. Gov making the dash a ticking time bomb with shrapnel as a bonus to possibly injure or kill myself or my wife in the event the air bags deploy the dealership quoted a ridiculous repair price and admitted that a cracked dashes are an issue with the Yukon. A dash cover is nothing but a band aid on a broken leg. I want gm to issue a recall.

Dashboard cracked.

The dashboard of our 2014 GMC Yukon denali has major cracks in it, especially around the airbags. The truck is well taken care of, and has covered parking. There have been no accidents in the car, and we are the only owners.

I have 2 cracks in my dash near both airbags.

There are 3 major cracks on my dashboard, two of which eminate from the passenger airbag opening. I see where there are literally thousands of complaints about this. The dash board now moves up and down and rattles. This is definitely a manufacturers defect which must be addressed by manufacturer through a recall. The cracks just appear out of nowhere. I take exceedingly good care of car but replacing an entire dashboard because of poor design should be covered by manufacturer. Thank you.

My dashboard has cracked in several locations and is getting worse. No force or specific incident caused the damage.

"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.

Dash is cracked in multiple places, around air bag.

The upper dashboard has cracked all the way through above the steering column exposing many components intended to remain covered in the car. Due to the crack occurring the width of the upper dashboard, I am concerned about the dashboard coming dislodged during a crash or forceful braking incident and injuring vehicle passengers.

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.

My wife's dash all of a sudden cracked and has jagged pieces that could potentially become a projectile causing serious injury or death if an accident was to occur. I have been informed that this is a issue that is occurring in all the 2008-2014 models; and gm has yet to issue a recall.

The dash has cracked in two places, with no undo abuse.

The dashboard is cracked in several places because the brackets under the dash are broken due to vibration during every day driving. As I searched for a repair kit from GMC, I found there are thousands of GMC owners who have this same issue in their truck/SUV. The suggestion the GMC website offers is for the owner to disassemble the dash, fix the crack with a hot staple gun and epoxy, then reattach the dash. I am shocked this is their suggestion which would involve unplugging 3 or 4 major functions of the vehicle. I would assume this should be done by a certified GMC repair center. Considering the enormous price of these types of vehicles, I am again amazed GMC has not issued a recall to replace these faulty parts found in thousands of their trucks/SUV's.

I noticed a crack to the right of the instrument cluster and then later noticed a crack near the passenger-side frontal airbag when my SUV had about 59,000 miles on it. The cracks have grown and are now causing complete separation. I took my Yukon to ewing GMC on 4/29/2019 where they acknowledged that there is a design flaw however it wasn;t considered a safety issue and thus not covered. They quickly handed me a $1200 quote to replace it. I do not see how a separated dash (especially near the passenger airbag) is not a safety concern. If my passenger airbag goes off with the dashboard in the state it is now, dangerous shards of plastic from the dashboard will go flying and become potentially lethal projectiles.

The top portion of the dashboard is cracking in two places. One over the instrument cluster and the other crack is by the passenger dashboard airbag. This is a known defect with this generation of GMC/chevy trucks and suvs.

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.

Two weeks ago, a crack in the dashboard near the passenger air bag suddenly appeared. In doing some research, I have found that many other people have had a similar experience. This problem seems to have affected the following models: GMC Yukon, Cadillac escalade, GMC sierra, Chevrolet silverado, Chevrolet tahoe, Chevrolet suburban, and Chevrolet avalanche. My concern is with the fact that this crack is very close to the passenger airbag and is a safety concern. I am also concerned that the airbags may not work properly when needed because of this defect.

My dash has been slowly cracking, the crack is now in two places, by the air bag and steering wheel and has completely released so it vibrates the whole time I'm driving. Just this week the airbag light is now coming on too.

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.

Cracked dashboard. One crack over the drivers side dash one also on the passenger side just above the airbag.

2 dash board cracks - believe cause is excessive vibration of dashboard due to poor design by GMC. One crack runs approx 5-6" directly above speedometer which could eventually affect the airbags and speedometer function. The second crack if on passenger side above glove compartment.

Takata recall dash board has cracked despite being well cared for. GMC wants $1500 to replace! a cracked dashboard, particularly one that is damaged around the passenger-side airbag, can yield flying projectiles in the event that an accident triggers the airbag to deploy.

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

The dashboard has cracked near the airbag and above the steering wheel. This vehicle is kept in the garage and is lightly used.

On 12/27/18, I heard an excessive rattling noise coming from the dash. When I parked the car, and the vehicle was stationary, I leaned forward to see if there was something on the dash, and noticed the dash had cracked over the driver's side instrument panel / airbag. The dash also cracked over the left side above the glove box/airbag area. The crack was the source of the rattling. This vehicle is parked in a garage and has not been exposed to excessive sunlight. Nor has the vehicle ever been in an accident.
