There is a large crack in the dashboard. The crack is located over the area over the driver's air bag which is a safety concern. If the air bag would deploy, broken pieces of plastic could harm the driver as the safety features are weakened. Crack occurred when vehicle was parked in a garage. No one , nothing caused the dashboard to crack, it is a defect.
2011 GMC Yukon Denali XL airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 27 of 27, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Our yukon has a crack on the corner of the passenger side airbag, and also a very large crack on the instrument panel hump of the dash. This crack continues to lengthen daily. We have real fears of the plastic breaking apart into sharp shards in the case of an accident. I worry about my teenagers riding in the front seat as I don't want them injured. Additionally we have concerns about the crack near the airbag breaking the dash into pieces if the airbag inflates. We received the takata airbag recall over a year ago, and are still waiting for replacement. We are members of a facebook group with 6,200+ members, all with cracks in gm vehicles in the exact location. Gm denies that this is a defective part and tries to blame the issue on car being in the hot sun, use of armor all, etc... But it seems to me if everyone has the exact same issue, it's a manufacturing defect. We also own a 2008 gmc yukon denali xl with an identical crack at the airbag corner.
Severely cracked dashboard in multiple places. Extremely concerned about the safety of my family should the airbag inflate, or due to the cracking if it would even operate properly. The crack gets worse every day due to the continuous vibrating of the entire dashboard while driving. Please remedy this before someone gets severely injured or worse. This is a family vehicle, mostly driven by families with 3 or more children, please consider this strongly and fix this problem immediately.
Crack in dash over passenger side airbag
Dashboard cracking around airbag and we also have a recall regarding the airbag but no remedy
The dashboard has cracked in two separate place. I am extremely concerned that should the passenger air bag deploy that the section of dash now unattached will be send flying into the passenger compartment causing a fatal wound. This is now the 2nd vehicle I have purchased where this has occurred. There is an obvious safety defect in the dashboard of the full size gm truck/SUV platform and a recall should be issued. The vehicle was stationary overnight when this cracking occurred both times.
Dash has cracked almost in half above the instrument cluster. Am concerned about air bag deployment being compromised or sending shards into the passenger compartment.
Dash is cracking and connects to airbag. Concerned that it will effect airbag deployment. Safety issue.
Takata recall we received a recall letter and scheduled an appointment with beck and masten for today to have this addressed. I was contacted this morning and told that no parts are available and my appointment was cancelled. We contacted gm and spoke with mary, then shane and finally brenda and we were told that until there was an "event" (which I interpreted as a death) that there was nothing that gmc would do to remedy the issue. Brenda refused to escalate any further in gm after being asked 7 times for her boss's information.
Dash crack near airbag is a safety hazard in the event of an accident (shrapnel or popped bag).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
