TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED BY GMC SINCE BEING NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND WERE TOLD THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE YET TO KEEP CHECKING BACK. ON 10/25/2017 SCHUMACHER GMC STATED THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE AIRBAGS AND THAT IT DECREASES THE TRADE IN VALUE BY $6000-$7000 BECAUSE THEY CANNOT CERTIFY THE VEHICLE. WE FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND HAS FINANCIALLY RESTRICTED US FROM MOVING FORWARD ON PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL. I CONTACTED WEST POINT BUICK GMC IN HOUSTON AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CAN'T GET THE AIRBAGS AND THAT THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHEN THEY WILL. THEY TOLD ME OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME I AM TRYING TO GET MY AIRBAGS DONE BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO HELP. THANK YOU

AT 80,000 MILES I DISCOVERED THAT MY DASH IS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES AND THAT IT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO PASSENGERS IF THE CRACK (THAT IS SHARP PLASTIC) IS TO CUT OR RUPTURE THE AIRBAG IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND NEVER KEPT OUTSIDE. THIS IS A HUGE GM PROBLEM AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS THAT NEED THIS FIXED. THERE ARE EVEN FACEBOOK GROUPS WITH THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ACROSS MULTIPLE VEHICLES. THIS CRACK LITERALLY HAPPENED OUT OF NO WHERE.

CRACKS IN DASHBOARD - THIS IS MY 2ND DASHBOARD WITH CRACKS AGAIN. DEFINITE FLAW WITH DESIGN/MATERIALS.

MY DASH IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. IT IS CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG. THE OTHER ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE ARIBAG. THE WHOLE DASH RATTLES NOW WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY SINCE THEY ARE RIGHT ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND OVER THE STEERING COLUMN.

CRACKS IN DASHBOARD. NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG, WHICH IS UNDER RECALL. HAPPENING TO SO MANY OF US. PLEASE HELP!!HTTPS://M.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY WIFE AND I HEARD A POP AND SHORTY AFTER THAT SOME RATTLING. WE LOOKED AND FOUND THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE DASH HAS SINCE CRACKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH AND RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT IT WOULD SERIOUSLY HURT A PASSENGER IF TH AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND I WOULD APPRECIATE IF GM WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IF IT WAS HIS HE WOULD JUST PIT A DASH COVER ON IT. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND I DONT DRIVE MY VEHICLES LIKE THAT. I HAVE BOUGHT ABOUT 25 GM'S IN MY LIFE SO I HAVE BEEN LOYAL EVEN THRU THE BAD TIMES. GM SHOULD PAY TO FIX THIS.

DASH STARTED CRACKING ON DRIVERS SIDE. I AM WORRIED WHEN THE AIRBAG IS RELEASED FRAGMENTS MIGHT FLY INTO MY EYES AND FACE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS BUT DO NO SEE A RECALL. I AM HOPING GMC CAN COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THESE.

WHILE DRIVING, I STARTED HEARING STRANGE RATTLING NOISES FROM THE DASHBOARD. WE I INSPECTED THE DASH BOARD, I NOTICED IT WAS CRACKED BY THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON BOTH SIDES. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD WILL MOST LIKELY EXPLODE, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE INJURY THAN THE AIRBAG WAS DESIGNED TO AVOID. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT FROM GM CUSTOMERS. WHILE I RECENTLY PAID TO HAVE MY DASH REPLACED, I'M HOPING GM WILL ISSUE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND I WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR REPAIRING THIS DEFECT.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AT CORNERS OF THE SAFETY BAGS. NORMAL VIBRATION HAS CAUSED THE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD TO EXTEND OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CRASH BAGS AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DUE TO THE CRACKS.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, I WAS HEARING STRANGE CRACKING.NOISES FROM THE DASHBOARD FOR 2 DAYS. THEN I LOOKED AT THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD, AND IT WAS CRACKED BY THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. SHOULD THE AIRBAG BE DEPLOYED, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD WILL EXPLODE, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE INJURY THAN THE AIRBAG WAS DESIGNED TO AVOID. HOPEFULLY, GMC WILL ADDRESS THIS IN A RECALL.

THE UPPER DASH HAS TWO CRACKS NEXT TO THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG OPENING. I CANNOT GET THESE CRACKS REPAIRED BECAUSE THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I CANNOT FIND OUT IF THE BROKEN, CRACKED UPPER DASH COULD ALSO INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY OPEN CASE # 8-1633101708 BUT HAVE NOT OFFERED TO FIX OR REPLACE THE UPPER DASH.

CRACK ON DASHBOARD CONNECTED TO WHERE AIR BAG.

Mileage: 60,000

THE PROBLEM ON MY 2009 YUKON, IN LESS THEN 2 WEEKS MY DASHBOARD CRACKED IN 3 PLACES. 2 BY THE AIR BAGS AND 1 BY THE STEERING COLUMN. I'M THINKING THE ONES BY THE AIR BAGS ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM. IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAPPEN TO GO OFF , WITH THE CRACKED DASHBOARD. WILL THE DASH EXPLODE IN TO PIECES, LIKE SHRAPNEL. CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO HUMAN LIFE? THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT STAYS UNDER A BREEZEWAY WHEN NOT IN USE. WE WHERE DRIVING AN HERD A POP IN THE DASH. THEN THE NEXT THING WE KNOW WE HAVE 3 CRACKS. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.. *TR

I PURCHASED A GM CERTIFIED VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2014. ON OCTOBER 31, 2014 I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A NOISE NEAR THE PASSENGER DASH. I LOOKED AND NOTICED A CRACK APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AT THE AIRBAG. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG AND RUNS FROM THE EDGE OF THE DASH TO THE AIRBAG. THE CRACK MEETS THE CUT OUT WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT GM CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE SAFETY CONCERNS I HAVE AS IT RELATES TO THIS CRACK LEADING TO THE AIRBAG. EACH TIME I CONTACT GM THEY DO NOT SEEMS TOO CONCERNED AND TELL ME IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH. I SEE THIS CRACK AS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY THE CRACK COULD POSSIBLY PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG DUE TO THE LOCATION OR SEND SHARP PLASTIC FLYING POTENTIALLY INTO THE PASSENGER'S EYE. THIS ISSUE IS ALARMING BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN 2007-2009 GM VEHICLES. GM IS NOT WANTING TO ISSUE A RECALL, HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IN ALMOST ALL VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE. I AM UNHAPPY ABOUT THE RESPONSE I HAVE GOTTEN FROM GM CUSTOMER CARE AND WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO BE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. I HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH THAT I WOULD BE WILLING TO PROVIDE TO YOU IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CRACK AND LOCATION. THANK YOU. *TR

I STARTED NOTICING A RATTLE WHEN DRIVING MY 2009 GMC YUKON DENALI, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT A CRACK HAD OCCURRED IN MY PASSENGER SIDE DASH ABOVE THE AIR BAG IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND THE RATTLE I WAS HEARING WAS FROM THE BROKEN PLASTIC. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS INCIDENTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, SO I KNOW THIS IS NOT UNIQUE TO MY VEHICLE AND THAT GMC IS AWARE OF IT BUT HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE IT. THIS MANUFACTURING FLAW LEAVES ONE TO QUESTION HOW SAFE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS AND WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL WORK PROPERLY. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2005 WHERE MY DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE (NOT A GM VEHICLE) WAS KNOCKED OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL BY A PIECE OF IRON COMING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD, AND IT NEVER DEPLOYED. IT WOULD STAND TO REASON THAT IF THE SUPPORT AREA AROUND THE MODULE IS WEAKENED BY SOMETHING LIKE A CRACK, THAT THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS DESIGNED, POSSIBLY SENDING THE MODULE OR FRAGMENTS OF THE MODULE INTO THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT AIR BAGS ARE DESIGNED TO PROTECT US IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT THEY CAN'T PROTECT US IF THEY NEVER DEPLOY OR IF WE ARE HIT BY FLYING MODULE METAL BECAUSE OF GENERAL MOTORS DESIGN FLAW THAT THEY HAVE REFUSED TO TAKE ACTION ON. MY FAMILY HAS OWNED 6 DIFFERENT GM VEHICLES OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS, BUT THEIR CHOICE TO IGNORE THIS POTENTIAL FATAL FLAW HAS ME LOOKING ELSEWHERE. I DO NOT WANT MYSELF OR ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS TO BE ONE OF THE STATISTICS THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

A CRACK HAD APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD GOING TO THE DIRECTION OF THE AIRBAG. I HAD ATTEMPTED TO CONSULT WITH THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP THAT STATED IT'S NO THREAT AND BASICALLY SENT ME ON MY WAY. IT'S BEEN A YEAR LATER AND NOW NOT ONLY HAS IT CRACKED IN THAT ONE AREA BUT I HAVE 2 ADDITIONAL CRACKS AND THE DASH HAS SEPARATED APPROX. 1/2" AT THE AIRBAG. IT SERIOUSLY CONCERNS ME CONSIDERING I HAVE CUSTODY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN (11 & 9) WHO ARE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE 99.5% OF THE TIME. I'M DEATHLY AFRAID THE AIRBAG IS EITHER GOING TO DEPLOY ON ITS OWN OR WORSE NOT DEPLOY IF/WHEN IT'S NEEDED. *TR
