GMC Yukon Denali door locks problems

I wish to add complaint for the dashboard crack issue near the passenger airbag, and suspect the airbag support/function may be compromised. I also have received many 'paper cuts' from inside door handles chrome over the years but was never contacted by gm or offered warranty replacement as your website states they did - I am the original owner of the vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 gmc yukon denali. While attempting to open the front driver's door, the handle fractured. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (jim murphy, 3000 walden ave, depew, ny 17043, (716)-684-8900) and the handle was replaced. The contact stated that the failure occurred on eight separate occasions, and all four door handles failed and were replaced at some point since 2013. The cause of the failures was not determined. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 30,000.

Our 2013 denali which we purchased new in 2014 has had a cracked dashboard above the passenger side airbag for more than a year (~2 years old). The integrity of the dash and airbag are problematic. There is no tangible support under the dash -- dealership says it's plastic!!! The vehicle was not in motion, just happened one day when it was parked in the driveway. Yesterday the outside passenger door handle broke off --- again, plastic parts instead of metal. If there was an accident, that passenger might not have an airbag properly deployed and nobody could open that door from the outside to rescue them!

Cpsc:I have a 2008 gmc yukon denali with 80k miles. All 4 exterior door handles are broken because of a manufacturers defect which has been recalled in previous years. The doors will close and lock the passengers in the car on occasion and could cause a serious safety hazard in an emergency. Also the interior of each door handle is coated with a "chrome" surface covering that peels back and has incredibly sharp edges which have cut all 5 of my family members, this is also a known issue with denali's and has been recalled in the past.

Cracked dashboard, deeply concerned about airbag safety if deployed due to proximity to crack and sharp edges adjacent to the passenger airbag. Door handles falling off, even after replacement. Fear of unlawful entry into car. Gm unwilling to correct substandard parts.

The chrome linings on the interior door handles of the front driver side and front passenger side are peeling. The peeled edge of the material is very sharp, and my wife and I both have sustained cuts to our left hands due to this.

I own an 07 yukon denali and the dashboard has three seperate cracks in them. Two of them are on the driver side and the other one is on the passenger side near the airbag. I've seen multiple complaints online as well as on this site and it's a shame we spend all this money on these luxury vehiicles but gmc refuse to issue a recall for an obvious problem. I was given a quote of over $1000 to replace it. I had to place a small piece of paper between the cracks just to avoid the obnoxious and annoying sound that it makes while driving, not to mention so my hand wouldn't accidentally push it in resulting in my hand possibly getting stuck in the cracks. Ouch!! It sounds like constant rattling. The driver and passenger chrome door handles are peeling which can cause some serious cuts to your hands if not careful. Gmc the least you can do is offer recalls for your customers. I've owned a gmc yukon from 2002-current. I would hate for this to be my last.

The chrome is also peeling on my door handles. Summer of 2015, I replaced the inside drivers door handle due to a broken bolt. Lastly my airbag light has been on with no diagnoses (~3 months).

The dash board is cracked. This started off as a small crack on the top left corner of the air bag on the dash, it has spread all the way across the dash to the area over my instrument panel and has now sunk in the middle of the dash as if there is absolutely no supports under the middle of the dash to hold it up. I see that there are no recalls on this, but I am worried that if something were to happen and the air bags deployed that pieces of the dash would go everywhere and cut us up even worse than an accident. I also see that there are several complaints on this matter with no avail. I wish that someone could something about this. I do not want to pay for a new dash just to have it do the exact same thing again. Also, the chrome covering on the interior door handles are sticking up and flaking off and have cut my husbands, children and my hands several times. I just found out about this website due to looking to see if there was a possible recall or I sure would've reported this sooner. Is there anything that can be done to help the masses having the same issue with these problems before someone gets seriously hurt?
