What 2009 GMC Yukon Denali owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I am concerned of the safety of me and my passengers. Over 1 year and still no resolution. I keep on being told call back and call back. Why so long to replace? The dash board has cracked and broken due to poor quality and many owners have dashboard issues.
To whom it may concern, I' am submitting this correspondence in reference to numerous cracks on my dashboard on the described vehicle. More importantly, the cracks are getting worse especially around the passenger side air bag, which is now causing the air bag cover to bulge, causing concern for me and my family in the event of an accident. Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 gmc yukon denali. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). The parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The carl black chevrolet, buick, gmc dealer (11500 e colonial dr, orlando, fl 32817) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
After a recent trip to atlanta, I noticed a crack in the dash on the passenger side. This crack is where the airbag is located. Now I have noticed the center of the dash is collapsing in especially on warm days. Nothing has been on the dashboard that would have created this crack. I fear that the dash may collapse all the way in or became a projectile in the event of a crash, especially if the air bag is deployed.
While driving my vehicle I heard a crack and discovered a significant crack in the dashboard in front of the instrument panel. There was also a crack in front of the passenger side airbag which is a safety hazard in the event of airbag deployment

Dash cracked from driver side all the way over to airbags on passenger side. Dash shards could spray the inside of vehicle should the airbags deploy
Takata air bags. Gmc tustin has been saying they do not have parts "yet" since may 2016. When will parts be available? Clearly gmc just don't want to spend the money to keep it's customers safe. What do we do to get new safe airbags installed??
Takata recall - received notice of takata chapter 11 filing today. Gmc investigation to have been completed by end of august 2017; to date nothing; have spoken with dealership and they have heard nothing
