DASH HAS CRACKED IN A GARAGE KEPT DENALI. IT IS UNSIGHTLY AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

Unknown or Other
Filed Oct 1, 201891,325 milesTX

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT WHEN NOT IN USE. I AM CONCERNED THAT DASHBOARD PIECES MAY INJURE THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS DURING A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DASH CRACKED. THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN FRONT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE CRACK GOES INTO THE AIRBAG SECTION. AS I DRIVE, THE WHOLE DASHBOARD BOUNCES UP AND DOWN AS IT IS NOW UNSTABLE. THIS IS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED ONLINE. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH BRINGS IT UP. IT WILL COST OVER $900 PLUS THE COST OF A WHOLE NEW DASHBOARD TO GET THIS FIXED AND THAT IS A QUOTE FROM AN INDEPENDENT, VERY ECONOMICAL REPAIR SHOP (NON-DEALERSHIP). I CANNOT AFFORD THIS AND WILL TRY TO USE TAPE. HOPEFULLY THE DASHBOARD DOESN'T BOUNCE OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING AND HOPEFULLY THE AIRBAG DOESN'T GO OFF. PLEASE SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS. IT CRACKED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND I ALMOST DIDN'T ENTER THIS CLAIM ON HERE. I TOLD MY DEALER, BUT THEY DIDN'T PURSUE IT FURTHER. IMAGINE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO TELL. THANKS FOR YOU HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD CRACKED WHERE THE AIR BAG WAS LOCATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
