What 2010 GMC Yukon Denali XL owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My yukon has approximately 45000 miles on it. It has been garaged at all times when not being driven. The dash has cracks that have formed in the skin part of the surface plastic in the area near the passenger side airbag and the hump part above the instrument cluster. When attempting to have it repaired by a high end body shop I was told it would be a waste of time and money because it will do it again. I was told that this is a common problem that has been going on for years on gmc models. I did further checking with a number of repair shops and services that do vinyl repairs as well. The premier company I spoke with told me that the repairs may not last a day and that even if I replace the dash skin completely it will likely occur in the replacement. In reading online I discovered that many people are experiencing this problem and that gm refuses to do a recall and in only some instances will cover half the cost which can exceed $1200.00. There is a potential safety issue due to the airbag involvement especially with this vehicle having a takata airbag recall and still no replacement for it. Phots of exactly the same issue are posted on line by numerous individuals and the massive problem can be easily verified if you do a simple research routine. The public needs your help to make the manufacturer correct the issue of cheap and faulty manufacturing processes and make its customers whole.
Drivers side bottom of seat ripped, dashboard has cracked in two different places and vent has come loose and rattles. Vehicle was stationary
Started vehicle ignition on hot day. When I turned on the air conditioning I heard a loud noise and saw the dashboard cracked over the instrument panel. Reported problem to gm when it happened but they refused to correct the problem.
My dashboard has cracked in 2 different spots. Worried that will continue!
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 gmc yukon denali xl. The contact stated that he did not receive a recall notification for the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). The contact took the vehicle to regal chevrolet (925 bartow rd, lakeland, fl 33801, (863) 588-4010) to be serviced and was informed that the passenger air bag needed to be replaced. The dealer confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was safe to drive. The VIN was unknown. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Dash board cracked inboard of passenger airbag, and cracked additionally along the glare shield above the instrument cluster. Vehicle was stationary sitting in driveway. Cracks were noticed about 8 am following a night with temperatures around 50f.
Taka recall 7/6/16, to date no part to resolve. Over one year and gmc has no part to fix the recall. Called 11/21/2017 and no part available.
All the sudden the dashboard started cracking in two places. One is above the steering wheel and the other is by the passenger side airbag on the dash also. It was just in my garage. Not cracked one day and started cracking the next. There was no damage done to the car it just occurred by itself.
Dashboard is cracked above instrument panel. The crack is 12 inches long. It is also cracked completely to airbag on passenger side. This causes very loud rattling when driving. I am concerned it affects the quality of the airbag's ability to deploy. I am concerned that dashboard fragments may be propelled in the event of airbag deployment.
