DASH IS CRACKED AND COMPROMISED IN 2 PLACES:. MIDDLE CLIP IS BROKEN BEHIND CENTER SPEAKER, AND DASH IS CRACKED AT THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. CONCERNED ABOUT FLYING SHARDS OF BROKEN DASH PLASTIC IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

THE DEALER (LAROCHE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC, 900 US-290, BRENHAM, TX 77833, (979) 836-6666) WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL.

CRACKED DASHBOARD ON TOP OF THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL AND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG LOCATION.

THE DASHBOARD HAS MAJOR CRACKING STARTING AT THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION ALL THE TIME. THE TRUCK GOES INTO COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NO POWER. I CAN'T EVEN CALL ON THE BLUE ON STAR BUTTON. I TOOK IT TO WALKER GMC IN ALEXANDRIA, LA ON JANUARY 15, 2018 BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AND ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NO LONGER COMING ON, THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO GO INTO COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SHUT DOWN EVERY FEW DAYS. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO TEST THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR BUT THEY REPORTED THE BATTERY WAS AT 100 PERCENT AND THE ALTERNATOR PASSED ALL THE CHECKS. I'M AT A LOST BUT I DO NOT WANT TO RISK TRAVELING WITH MY DAUGHTERS AND THE TRUCK JUST COMPLETELY STOPPING ON US ON THE HIGHWAY. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO NEXT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR, THE HANDLE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (JIM MURPHY, 3000 WALDEN AVE, DEPEW, NY 17043, (716)-684-8900) AND THE HANDLE WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON EIGHT SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AND ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES FAILED AND WERE REPLACED AT SOME POINT SINCE 2013. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

SERVICE AIR BAG WILL NOT GO AWAY

I HAVE A 2012 GMC YUKON DENALI. I'VE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I'M DRIVING AND THE TRUCK TURNS OFF/OR EXPERIENCES A "SHORT" FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE CHECKED ALL ELECTRICAL CABLES AND HAVE EXCHANGED BATTERIES TWICE (AS THEY "DRAINED"). A FEW MONTHS BACK MY DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING AS WELL, FIRST IT WAS A SMALL CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. LATER ANOTHER CRACK BY THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH HAD NOW FORMED A LARGE "V".

I AM THE ORGINAL OWNER OF MY GMC YUKON DENALI 2012 AND IT HAS BEEN GARAGED MOST OF ITS LIFE. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY DASH STARTED TO VIBRATE THEN I NOTICE A LARGE CRACK IN THE DASH JUST ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER. THE FACT I HAVE TAKEN SUCH GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. THE CARS VALUE IS DIMINISHED DRAMATICALLY DUE TO THIS VISIBLE DEFECT. I HAVE HEARD GM IS NO HELP ON THIS BUT IN MY OPINION GM'S DEFECT HAS CAUSED A DIMINISHED VALUE IN MY VEHICLE AND THEREFORE THEY ARE LIABLE FOR ANY REPAIR THAT IS NEEDED TO MY CAR TO BRING IT BACK TO THE CONDITION IT WAS BEFORE THE DEFECT WAS VISIBLE. THERE IS CASE LAW ALL OVER THE PLACE TO SUPPORT THIS.

CRACK IN DASHBOARD AT THE AIRBAG

THE DASHBOARD OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS CRACKING AND SPREADING. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CRACK IS GETTING LARGER BY THE DAY.

DASH BOARD CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. NOTICED IT WHEN GETTING IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE OFF.

@ 97,000 MILES, GETTING CYLINDER #4 MISS FIRE CODES, REPLACED ALL PLUGS AND AFFECTED COILS PACKS. NOW MOTOR IS MAKING A TICKING SOUND FORM LIFTERS. DEALER SAID IT NEEDS NEW ENGINE DUE TO THE AFM SYSTEM PROBLEMS.

CRACKS IN DASH NEXT TO AIRBAG; QUESTIONABLE AFFECT ON AIRBAG.

I PURCHASED MY 2012 GMC YUKON DENALI AWD NEW. APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AGO THE DASHBOARD DEVELOPED A CRACK AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CRACK HAS SLOWLY BEEN GETTING WORSE AND IS NOW BECOMING ELEVATED AND I NOW HAVE FEARS FOR PROPER OPERATION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DUE TO THIS. I RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH 2007 - 2013 GMC YUKONS, CHEVROLET TAHOES, CHEVROLET SUBURBANS, AND CADILLAC ESCALADES. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS VIA EMAIL TODAY (5/30/17) AND AM AWAITING RESPONSE AND HOPEFUL RESOLUTION FROM THEM. I WILL ADVISE WHEN I HAVE GM'S RESPONSE/RESOLUTION.

RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2012 YUKON DENALI DIDN'T NOTICE THE CRACKS IN THE DASH WHEN I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. IT HAS A CRACK ON THE DASH NEAR THE AIRBAG, AND ALSO A CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WOULD THINK IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH WITH A AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT THE DASH WOULD ALREADY BE COMPROMISED CAUSING INJURY TO THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER WITH SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC. ESPECIALLY BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE IN MODEL YEARS 07-14 IN CHEVY AND GM PRODUCTS. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THE LOCAL DEALER DIRECTLY WITH BOTH PARTIES BASICALLY SAYING ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND I AM SURPRISED THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED BY NOW..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MODULE WAS REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

DASH BOARD CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT ON THE AIRBAG'S LEFT HAND CORNER. CRACK IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY. DEALER WONT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY UNLESS GMC WILL APPROVE TO DO SO. VEHICLE IS AT ALL TIMES ON GARAGE OR UNDER SHADE SO SUN HAS NO EFFECT TO THE DIFFECT. BOUGHT THE 2012 YUKON DENALI 1 YEAR AGO AS CERTIFIED PREOWNED VEHICLE WITH A 1 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.

THERE ARE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. ONE SMALL HAIRLINE BY THE SPEAKER AND ONE BIG ONE BY THE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT HAPPENED.

DASH CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. BOTH SPOTS RUN ALONG THE OUTSIDE OF THE CENTER SPEAKER. I NOTICED IT AS I CRANKED MY TRUCK ON FLAT LEVEL PAVEMENT. SINCE THE 9TH OF SEPTEMBER THIS HAS GOTTEN WORSE.
