2010 GMC YUKON DENALI Air Bags Problems

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (GILCHRIST CHEVROLET BUICK GMC DEALERSHIP TACOMA, 6014 S TACOMA WAY, TACOMA, WA 98409, (253) 777-3085) WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR LONGER THAN 3 YEARS. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHEN THE REMEDY AND PART MAY BE PROVIDED SO THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO FURTHER DISCLOSURE FOR THE REMEDY AND PART. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I BOUGHT MY 2010 YUKON DENALI USED FROM A LOCAL USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM, AL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE DASH LOOKED TO BE FINE. EARLY IN THE SUMMER I BEGAN TO HAVE CRACKING RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND QUICKLY SOON AFTER NOTICED A LOT OF CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAGS. THIS MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT; WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE DASH PIECES? THEY WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THIS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL OF THE GMC FAMILY OF SUVS FOR ABOUT A 5 YEAR PERIOD. GM HAS EVEN CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE REPLACEMENTS DUE TO THE CHEAP WORKMANSHIP OF THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS A SAFETY HAZARD.

NOTICED CRACKS IN DASHBOARD. ONE OVER THE INST. PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE OTHER IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT UP TO WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED.

2010 YUKON DENALI HAS 87,000 WELL BELOW THE AVERAGE AND TWO CRACKS FORMED. ONE ON THE CLUSTER SIDE THE OTHER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEXT TO THE AIR BAG. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THE AIR BAG DEPLOYING AND SEND PARTS OF THE DASH OUT TOWARDS THE OCCUPANTS. MY VEHICLE STAYS IN THE GARAGE WHEN NOT IN USE AND ALSO HAVE THE SUN SHADE FOR IT.

MY PLASTIC DASH BOARD IS BADLY CRACKED IN MULTIPLE SPOTS, THIS IS A SAFELY CONCERN OF MINE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I ALWAYS HAVE PASSENGERS WITH ME, MY WIFE, CHILDREN, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I WORRY THAT IF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYS THE PLASTIC WILL FLY OFF AT A HIGH SPEED AND HARM SOMEONE WORSE THAN THE COLLISION IMPACT. PLEASE TAKE THIS COMPLAINT INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

1. CRACKED DASHBOARD - CRACKED DASHBOARD - DASHBOARD IS DETERIORATING. NUMEROUS CRACKS. VEHICLE IS PARKED IN THE SHADE 90% OF THE TIME AND AFTER 30,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT. THERE IS A DASHBOARD CRACK NEXT TO THE AIRBAG ON THE DASHBOARD. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE TAKATA INFLATORS AND POTENTIAL SHRAPNEL PRODUCED FROM THE ROTTING DASHBOARD BECOMING AIRBORNE DURING AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS A WEBSITE THAT SHOWS THE MAJORITY OF THESE GM DASHBOARDS ARE DEFECTIVE AND FALLING APART BEYOND COSMETIC APPEARANCE. WHAT KIND OF SAFETY TESTING HAS BEEN DONE IN RELATION TO CRACKED DASHBOARDS CAUSING INJURIES? 2. TAKATA RECALL - THERE SHOULD BE A SOLUTION TO THE TAKATA INFLATOR ISSUE AND A RECALL ON GM CRACKED PLASTIC DASHBOARDS. IT IS PAST AUGUST OF 2017 AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING REGARDING THE AIRBAG ISSUE SOLUTION. (WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER - OURSIMAN OF ALEXANDRIA, VA ) THAT NO SOULTION IS AVAILE FOR THE AIRBAG.I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. 3. TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES - LINES HAVE BEEN LEAKING FOR YEARS. SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT IN THE WARRANTY COVERAGE AS NOT COVERED???IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL YUKON AND OTHER VECHICLES

THE DASH PANELS ARE CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 86,000 MILES AND THE CRACKS DEVELOPED IN THE LAST MONTH. NOTHING HAS HIT THE DASH TO BREAK IT, IT JUST CRACKED AND THE CRACKS ARE SPREADING. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT FLYING PLASTIC SHRAPNEL OF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY.

I PURCHASED A 2010 YUKON DENALI AND THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING. IT STARTED AS A SMALL CRACK THAT WAS BARELY NOTICED AND IS NOW A LARGE CRACK ACROSS THE DASH BETWEEN THE AIR VENTS. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME DEFECT IN YUKON MODELS MANUFACTURED SINCE 2010. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AND THE DASH COMES OFF IN SEVERAL SHARP PIECES AS SHOWN IN THE TAKATA RECALL ISSUE.

THE PLASTIC DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED. IT STARTED OUT SMALL COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND STRETCHING TO THE EDGE OF THAT DASH PANEL. NOW A SECOND PART OF THE DASH HAS CRACKED BY THE DRIVER SIDE OVER THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER. THE PORTION OF THE DASH THAT'S CRACKED BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN AS IT COULD BREAK OFF AND CAUSE SHARP PIECES TO HIT THE PASSENGER IN THE FACE OF THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. MY GMC DEALER STATED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THIS "COSMETIC" ISSUE AND THEREFORE I WILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR A PORTION OF THE COST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HE VEHICLE IS GARAGED. THERE COULD BE NO LONG TERM DAMAGE TO THE DASH OTHER THAN WHAT IT'S INTENDED TO DO WHICH IS TO BE UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. GMC - OWN THIS ISSUE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM PLEASE. I'M NOT LIKELY TO BE A REPEAT CUSTOMER OF YOU CAN'T PRODUCE A SUPERIOR AND RELIABLE PRODUCT -OR- BE RESPONSIBLE AND CORRECT AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.
