2011 GMC Yukon Denali XL complaints

DASH CRACK NEAR AIRBAG IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT (SHRAPNEL OR POPPED BAG).

WE BOUGHT OUR USED GMC YUKON DENALI XL IN NOVEMBER 2015. IN MAY WE NOTICED THE UPPER LEFT DASHBOARD OF THE PASSENGER SIDE UPPER LEFT CORNER NEXT TO AIRBAG HAS A FEW CRACKS IN IT. MY HUSBAND STARTED OUR CAR TO DRIVE IT TODAY AND THE PIECE THAT CRACKED COMPLETELY FELL INTO THE DASHBOARD LEAVING A 1" HOLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL EFFECT THE AIRBAG AND WHAT OTHER EFFECTS IT MAY HAVE ON THE DASHBOARD ITSELF IN A SAFETY RELATED WAY.

THE CRACK IN MY DASH IS NOW FROM THE AIRBAG TO THE VENT. IT HAS CRACKED COMPLETELY THROUGH. I AM CONCERNED IT WILL CAUSE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY.

OUR 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI XL HAS DEVELOPED LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. ONE IS LOCATED BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AT THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG. WE HAVE CONCERNS IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG EVER DEPLOYS, SHARP PIECES OF THE BROKEN DASH MAY BREAK LOOSE AND INJURE PASSENGERS IN OUR VEHICLE.

2011 YUKON XL (GARAGED IT'S ENTIRE LIFE AND WELL CARED FOR) HAD CRACK IN DASH APPEAR IN JAN 2016 WHICH QUICKLY SPREAD FROM BACK TO FRONT CAUSING THE DASH TO BECOME TWO PIECES. DEALER ONLY OFFERED TO "DISCOUNT" A REPAIR SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES FROM ABOVE THE DRIVE SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SURROUNDING THE AIR BAG LOCATION. CONCERNED THAT IN AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PIECES OF THE DASH MAY BE PROJECTED THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR CAUSING INJURY.

MY DASHBOARD CRACKED TWICE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. BOTH TIMES OCCURRED IN THE 50, 000 MILE RANGE.THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT TWICE. IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THEY GAVE A MINOR PRICE BREAK. NOW THAT I AM READING ONLINE THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. THEY SHOULD LOOK INTO IT.

DASHBOARD CRACKED TOP LEFT OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND ON RIGHT SIDE OF HUMP OVER STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID NO RECALL, I CALLED GMC AND TOLD THEM IT WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS ITS SEEMS LIKE THE DASHBOARD IS GOING TO FALL INTO THE STEERING COLUMN AND EVEN MAKE THE AIR BAG NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THEY SAID I AM OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY (AND SAID THEY HAVE HAD TONS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE) . VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY 53K MILES.

"TAKATA RECALL" CRACKS ON THE FRONT DASHBOARD ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT. COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES WHEN AIRBAGS DEPLOY.

THERE ARE 2 CRACKS ON THE FRONT DASHBOARD - ONE ON THE RIGHT AND ONE ON THE LEFT. OUR FEAR IS THAT IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY THE DASH WILL FLY UP AND INJURE THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS IN THE VEHICLE WITH US.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH NEXT TO THE RIGHT SIDE AIR BAG. I AM CONCERNED IT COULD CONTINUE GROWING AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN 4 SPOTS. 2 CRACKS NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, 1 NEAR THE FRONT SPEAKER AND 1 OVER WHERE THE INSTRUMENTS ARE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING. MY BELIEF IS IF THE VEHICLE ACTIVATES THE AIRBAG IN AN ACCIDENT, THE DASHBOARD MAY SPLIT INTO PIECES AND SEND THE PIECES INTO THE PASSENGERS.

MY 4 YEAR OLD CAR STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH AND IS NOT EXTENDING AND THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER FINDING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM CONTACTED GM WHO GAVE ME A TOKEN 10% DISCOUNT ON THE 1200$ QUOTE.

BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES SEPARATED FROM THE DOOR PANEL, COMPROMISING THE PROTECTION OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ABILITY TO ENTER AND EXIT THE VEHICLE PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THERE WAS A HUGE CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND THE DRIVER SIDE BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING. MY BELIEF IS IF THE VEHICLE ACTIVATES THE AIRBAG IN AN ACCIDENT, THE DASHBOARD MAY SPLIT INTO PIECES AND SEND THE PIECES INTO THE PASSENGERS. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FLAW ON THE INTERNET.

MY DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND CLUSTER, WHICH A MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE AIR-BAG. I HAVE DONE NUMEROUS SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND I AM SEEING THIS SAME COMPLAINT OVER AND OVER. I AM VERY CURIOUS WITH IT HAPPENING SO MUCH WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AND GMC TAKEN CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY AND THE HIGH COST OF REPAIRING THIS MYSELF, BUT I KNOW IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I'VE OWNED GMC VEHICLES FOREVER AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY, UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I THINK THE COMPANY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, AND QUICKLY. *TR
