Dashboard cracked on driver's side and passenger airbag.
2011 GMC Yukon airbags complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 79, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I am the original owner of this yukon denali and about about 2 years ago, a crack developed on my dash. I'm not sure how it happened, but one day, I just noticed it. I took it to the dealership that I bought it from, and they quoted me about $2000 to repair it. It just keeps getting worse, and I'm afraid that the air bag could deploy on it's on sometime because the crack keeps getting bigger. I also now have a crack on the driver's side dash above the steering wheel.
I too have the cracked dashboard in my 2011 gmc denali. Not only is it a safety hazard, because apparently its a labor intensive job no one will take on the task of fixing it. I bought the replacement dash and I cant find anyone to install it. The rattle noise it create is unimaginable as now a locking clip has broken. I'm totally at a loss as to what to do. It has also decreased its trade in value. I went to buy another vehicle and they dropped the value by 2,000.00 because of the dash. My only hope is that I don't end up in an air bag incident as I'm confident the dash will shatter and launch projectile pieces.

Dashboard is cracking and will possibly cut airbag or driver in a crash. Plastic is brittle and could shatter. Suspension has poor dampening. Truck was repaired several times by dealer only to fail soon after repairs. Truck bounces over sharp bumps and becomes dangerous at highway speeds. Transmission shudders and shakes
Takata recall I have been trying to get this recall remedied by to no avail. I am constantly being told remedy not yet available.
A crack appeared on the front dash next to the passenger side airbag. The vehicle was stationary and cracked overnight. I'm concerned about the airbag working properly.
My dashboard is cracking for no reason. There is a crack where the passenger side airbag is installed. I'm concerned that in the event of an accident, items like the speaker in the dash board will become projectiles. I am also concerned that if the airbag deploys then potentially shards of broken plastic will also be flying through the cabin.
As you're already aware of from several previous complaints, the dash board in our vehicle is cracked over the instrument panel, and is also cracked in the middle of the dash. It is spreading over the entire dash and compromised the airbag system, which is truly a hazard. I'm afraid to drive it. And, this is not a result of heat cracking the dashboard b/c we keep our car in the garage and hardly drive it during the week! This is definitely a defect with gmc and I don't know why they won't recall it!! Even toyota has the same issue, except they offered a recall and allowed owners the opportunity to get the issue fixed. This is truly a safety hazard and I'm so disappointed in gmc. Cheap and won't fix their manufacture mistake!!!
Takata recall gm and takata have not resolved this remedy. I've checked twice a year for the past four years and get nowhere on replacing the defective recall from the gm dealer.
Dashboard has cracked in multiple places. Mainly around the passenger airbag and instrument cluster.
My yukon's dash is cracked in several places, some extending 14 inches interfering with the passenger airbag. This is a safety concern for myself and my family. The second large crack is located above and behind the steering wheel on the dashboard as well. Nothing was dropped or anyway I or my family cracked it. After researching, this is a common issue with my make model and year. I believe gm should own this defect and protect its loyal drivers and consumers, rather than wait and see if an airbag doesn't deploy properly, god forbid, risking the lives of innocents. I served my country in iraq because I chose to, gm can choose to defend its consumers as well. Even a discount on repair or replacement would be appreciated as I know people just expect everything to be given to them. Thank you for your consideration

The dashboard has cracked in several places that appear to be in danger of projecting shards of hard plastic when the airbags deploy. These cracks began on their own and not as a result of abuse or accident.
Takata recall. I am unable to get the airbag replaced due to a lack of replacement units. I called today and the dealer(days chevrolet) does not have replacement units. My original notice from gmc is dated july 2016. I discussed the issue with gmc in january 2017 and they said no parts were available. I have called three other times in the period of time up to now. No parts. Why is there not a plan to address this serious safety issue? It is now two years from the first notice.

'takata recall" gm says it has no resolution for airbag recall as of 2/6/18. Also dash board has 2 cracks at passenger airbag. I am concerned dash board may injure passenger if airbag inflates. Gm case# 8-3791360606
Air bag
Takata recall - purchased from a dealer and called two other dealers and none have parts for the recall
Takata recall after receiving a notice regarding the recall I contacted a local gmc dealer. I was told that takata has filed chapter 11 in the u.s. So the parts for this potentially deadly airbag recall are not available while "things get sorted out". That doesn't make me feel very comfortable as this is a vehicle driven by me or my wife with our 3 children inside.
Takata recall - when can I get my airbags replaced? I keep asking the dealer and they say replacement airbags not available. This is a major safety concern for me.
