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.

14 Dashboard Crack problem of the 2013 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 08/01/2019

While driving in tennessee on a family vacation, we heard a crack from the front area of the car and the passenger saw the dashboard had cracked. The crack is in the middle though I'm concerned it may interfere with airbag deployment. It was a sunny day in the summertime. The interior temperature was set to 76 degrees. We were on a smooth highway, going about 50mph. We did not hit any road obstructions or holes. Since the initial crack occurrence, there have been several lengthening cracks, in both summer and winter, (ohio) where we heard cracking sounds both driving and at rest (parked but idling) I don't have pictures at this time, though I can provide current jpg's if needed.

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.

24 Dashboard Crack problem of the 2013 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 12/02/2018

A little of a month ago we noticed there was a crack from the corner of the air bag down the dash. The car was stationary and has never been in any accidents. I called the dealership to find out if my service contract was going to cover this since I have only owned this vehicle a little over a year. The informed me it would not be covered. This is a huge safety concern for me and my husband as we have two small kids and always have kids in the car. So I tried to open a case with gm customer care hoping they were going to do something as this was a gm certified vehicle and that warranty just expired 2 months ago. They don't care about any of it. They go back to the original warranty and told me it was not a safety issue because it doesn't have a recall issued on it and they aren't going to do anything for me. They advised me to talk to the dealership customer experience manager and see if there is anything they could do. I have always bought gm products but this has changed my mine. Peoples lives could be at stake here with dashboards cracking all around these airbags that so many people are having problems with. I advised there are complaints all over the internet and they all act surprised!! I drive a big SUV for more protection and reliability for my children and now I have a vehicle that is only 5 years old with only 69k miles on it that was worth a ton of money that now is a huge safety risk for me when I drive with my kids and other kids. Buck up gm this is a huge safety problem. . . Before someone gets killed!.

26 Dashboard Crack problem of the 2012 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 11/13/2018

The dashboard is cracked on driver side with plastic pieces falling down into dash, dashboard is also cracked on passenger side on the corner of the airbag. This is a known issue and I want it fixed. I feel that the airbags ability to deploy on passenger side is compromised if an accident occurs. I bought this vehicle with thoughts of being safe for me, my wife and two small children. Gm has said they are not going to fix it, this is my last plea for help. Replacing is expensive but feel like it's defect in vehicle design(evident by how many complaints I found). If there is a accident in this vehicle and airbag fails I will hold gm accountable for any harm caused to my family.

29 Dashboard Crack problem of the 2014 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 07/01/2018

Purchased vehicle 2016 from dealership. Just recently working the past 6 months started noticing cracks on the dash. Corner of passenger airbag and above instrument panel at steering wheel. I read online this is a very common problem with 2009-2014 GMC vehicles. This is a safety hazard because if airbags deploy there could be shrapnel thrown in the face of drivers and passengers. The dash should it be doing this in a 4 year old vehicle and from what I've read GMC is not wanting to take responsibility for making a cheap part. A recall should be done to make them own up to their product. 2015 models has a better dash installed because of all the complaints.
