DASHBOARD CRACKING ALONG TOP OVER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. CAR IS GARAGED WHEN NOT IN USE.

Mileage: 47,500

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. *BF

THE DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG BY GAUGE HOUSING ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THESE CRACKS ARE LARGE ENOUGH THAT THE ENTIRE DASH RATTLES FROM VIBRATIONS AND COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT THE PROPER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL POSSIBILITY FOR AIRBAG RECALL. DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF CRACK POPS WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE.

CRACKS ALL ALONG THE DASHBOARD. ONE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ONE DOWN THE CENTER. SEVERAL AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I'M AFRAID THE AIRBAG WON'T WORK PROPERLY BECAUSE OF THE INSTABILITY OF THE DASHBOARD FRAME AROUND IT, OR THAT PLASTIC PIECES FROM THE DASH COULD COME FLYING OFF IN A WRECK...

THREE CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD.

CRACKS IN THE DASH HAVE APPEARED. ONE CRACK IS ABOVE LEFT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE OTHER IS FORWARD OF AND NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS STAYED UNDER COVERED PARKING. NOTICED THE CRACKS AS I WAS DRIVING AND DASH NOW RATTLES.

Mileage: 135,000

DASH CRACKED IN 2 PLACES: ABOVE DRIVING WHEEL AND AROUND AIR BAG. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I WILL HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART IN 2 YEARS. AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT, I HAD BEEN FAIRLY DILIGENT ABOUT USING A WINDSHIELD/DASH REFLECTIVE COVER WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE, BUT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE HELPED PREVENT SAME SITUATION FROM OCCURRING AGAIN WITH CRACKS IN EXACTLY THE SAME PLACES. CRACKS ON REPLACED DASH ARE GETTING WORSE AND ENTIRE DASH VIBRATES AND RATTLES WHEN DRIVING AS OTHER ATTACHMENT PIECES SEEM TO BE CRACKING UNDERNEATH. SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SUGGEST CONTINUED CRACKING AND PROGRESSION COULD EXPOSE PARTS UNDER DASH, POSSIBLY EVEN EFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE QUOTE FOR PARTS AND LABOR I RECEIVED FROM MY LOCAL GMC SERVICE WAS $1,000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF GM CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME THING, THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY COMPONENT TO AN OTHERWISE GOOD VEHICLE, AND SHOULD BE ISSUED A RECALL AND REPLACED WITH A DASH THAT LASTS SUBSTANTIALLY LONGER THAN 1.5-2 YEARS.

DASH HAS CRACKED SEVERELY. I AM CONCERNED THAT IS THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THAT THE SHARP HARD PLASTIC THAT IS CRACKED WILL CAUSE INJURY.

DASHBOARD CRACKED NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG, ALSO FRACTURES AROUND DRIVER SIDE VENT AND CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER.

I WENT TO OPEN MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR TO GET INTO MY CAR AND THE DOOR HANDLE JUST RIPPED OFF. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I'M NOT A STRONG WOMAN AND I DID NOTHING DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER DAY. NOW I HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND OPEN MY DOOR TILL I CAN GET IT FIXED. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I HAD MY BACK DOOR HANDLE COME LOOSE. IT DID NOT RIP OFF, BUT IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. I HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. ONE LITTLE THING AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR. MA 10/2 UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN
