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.

My 2011 gmc yukon xl denali, dashboard has cracked out of nowhere I got in it one day and it was there I noticed it, up the driver side hump on the dashboard, and beside the passenger airbag, this is a safety hazard what if I get into a wreck pieces of dashboard would go flying everywhere, I have even contacted gmc about this issue and they don't care, I have attempted to glue the dash back together but it's still spreading, the more I drive the vehicle the more it spreads.

My dashboard began to crack around the passenger airbag. The cracking was unprovoked. The car is clean, and only has 66k miles on it. In addition, one of the clips recepticals on the dashboard that the upper trim panel connects to broke (in the center part of the dashboard). No in addition to the large crack, the dash board now rattles. I do not have pictures handy during the time of this submitter but I can provide them. 100's of other have also had this problem, there are facebook pages and various pertitions.

Cracked dash - in the event of airbag deployment, broken pieces of the plastic dash will become projectiles in the passenger area.

We have owned both a 2007 gmc yukon slt and a 2011 gmc yukon xl denali. In both vehicles, we have started the car on an extreme weather day (cold in the 2007, heat in the 2011) and heard a loud crack. After inspecting the dashboard, there is a large crack on the drivers side above the steering wheel. Since then, it has expanded to the passenger side by the airbag. The dash wobbles where it is cracked when driving and makes some noise. If we were in a wreck, I am concerned that the plastic would crack when the airbag deploys and send shrapnel through the car.

The dash started to crack - I checked with gm (service) - and they said that this is a common problem - I spoke to gm and they will not acknowledge the issue (even though their service department know that there is an issue). Gm will not support me on this problem
