Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Tamara recall. This recall has been since 2016 and still not resolve. I am active duty military and pcsing overseas. I have to ship my vehicle and they will not ship it with an unresolved recall. I am not sure what else to do...I have contacted the dealership and gmc and they offer no resolution for my issues.
Numerous dashboard cracks above instrument panel and passenger airbag. Could cause splinters of plastic in case of airbag deployment.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 gmc yukon denali. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The gmc dealer (bob palmer's chancellor motor group, 2820 ms-15, laurel, ms 39440, (601) 651-4719) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made 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.
I continue asking for the replacement of these airbags and the dealership continues to claim that the fix is not available.
Takata recall - dealership will not repalce even after several requests
Takata recall: airbag recall as of may 2016. I have yet to be contacted about a fix. Dealer service center does not think there is a recall although I have checked all legitimate sites and indeed there is. I would like this fixed asap as this airbag issue is especially volatile in hot and humid weather which is the only weather where I live!
The plastic dashboard is cracked on top of gauge cluster. I am concerned the dash may shatter in a crash if the air bags deploy due to the crack causing the entire dash to be compromised.. This is a safety issue should a airbag deployment happen. I have noticed the dash has been cracked for about a year but didnt find out until today that it has been an ongoing issue with other gm owners.
My gmc denali 2011 dashboard suddenly cracked in two places -they are clearly stress cracks with no support underneath. One crack is on the corner of the passenger air bag, other above steering wheel. Should the pass airbag deploy, I'm not sure if it would work properly. There are hundreds of identical situations with these models in particular. Gmc offers no compensation because there are 100s of complaints out there regarding this issue, maybe more. Websites are organized for gmc cracked dashboards! This vehicle has no accident history. It cracked randomly. The dash needs to be replaced because the cracks are growing with the vibration of the car while in motion. Thank you
I have a 2011 yukon denali and the dash has cracked and I am worried about the air bags. I am not sure why or how this happened, but it has happened to over 6000 vehicles (please see facebook page - 07-13 gm cracked dash safety hazard for all trucks) and gmc is not standing behind this problem.
