2013 GMC YUKON DENALI Air Bags Problems

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND AIRBAG POTENTIALLY COULD CAUSE PROJECTILES BEING TOSSED IN A ACCIDENT , CRACKING ALL OVER DASH

Mileage: 86,000

HAVE HAD 2 CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD, PASSENGER SIDE FROM REAR/LEFT SIDE TOWARD WINDSHIELD FROM AIRBAG AND ANOTHER OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL. THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR OVER A YEAR, I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW COMMON THIS PROBLEM WAS OR I WOULD HAVE REPORTED SOONER. CONCERN RELATES TO DASHBOARD PIECES CAUSING INJURY IF AIRBAG DEPLOYED. VEHICLE IS PARKED INSIDE DAY AND NIGHT

Mileage: 38,000

A LITTLE OF A MONTH AGO WE NOTICED THERE WAS A CRACK FROM THE CORNER OF THE AIR BAG DOWN THE DASH. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF MY SERVICE CONTRACT WAS GOING TO COVER THIS SINCE I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THE INFORMED ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY HUSBAND AS WE HAVE TWO SMALL KIDS AND ALWAYS HAVE KIDS IN THE CAR. SO I TRIED TO OPEN A CASE WITH GM CUSTOMER CARE HOPING THEY WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING AS THIS WAS A GM CERTIFIED VEHICLE AND THAT WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED 2 MONTHS AGO. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF IT. THEY GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY AND TOLD ME IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL ISSUED ON IT AND THEY AREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THEY ADVISED ME TO TALK TO THE DEALERSHIP CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE MANAGER AND SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT GM PRODUCTS BUT THIS HAS CHANGED MY MINE. PEOPLES LIVES COULD BE AT STAKE HERE WITH DASHBOARDS CRACKING ALL AROUND THESE AIRBAGS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH. I ADVISED THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND THEY ALL ACT SURPRISED!! I DRIVE A BIG SUV FOR MORE PROTECTION AND RELIABILITY FOR MY CHILDREN AND NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY 69K MILES ON IT THAT WAS WORTH A TON OF MONEY THAT NOW IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK FOR ME WHEN I DRIVE WITH MY KIDS AND OTHER KIDS. BUCK UP GM THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM...BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

DASH ISSUES HAVE PLAGUED THE 2007-2014 GMC TRUCKS. MINE IS INCLUDED IN THIS. THERE IS CRACKING ALL AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS. I'M WORRIED THAT IN A DEPLOYMENT, PIECES OF DASH WOULD BE PROJECTED AT PASSENGERS. THE DASH MATERIAL IS CLEARLY VERY BRITTLE AND FLIMSY.

Mileage: 30,000

THE DASH IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIR BAG AND IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER INSTRUMENTATION AREA. HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. TRIED TO GET GM TO REPAIR BUT THEY REFUSED.

Mileage: 40,000

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK VEHICLE INTO GMC SERVICE CENTER AFTER AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. TECHNICIANS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. IT HAS NEVER DEPLOYED AND PRESENTS A POTENTIAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ISSUE.

Mileage: 80,000

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG ON ITS OWN. FEEL THIS MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD.

Mileage: 76,000

DASH BOARD CRACKING OVER PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE

Mileage: 58,000

MY 4 YEAR OLD DENALI HAS A CRACKED DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON BUT GMC WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REPAIR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DASHBOARD WILL CUT PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAG GOES OFF. THE CAR ONLY HAS 54000 MILES

THE DASH IN OUR 2013 YUKON IS CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG AND POSES A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR SAFETY IN THE EVENT THAT AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. THIS PROBLEM IS UNDERSTOOD BY GENERAL MOTORS AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT CURRENTLY HAS POSSESSION OF OUR YUKON NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS DASHBOARD UNDER WARRANTY RATHER THAN PUTTING A DASH COVER OVER IT. MCELVEIN GMC IN SUMMERVILLE SC HAS THE YUKON CURRENTLY. 844-241-1281

WE HAVE ONLY PERSONALLY OWNED OUR 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI SINCE OCTOBER 2016 AND LOOKED AT IT AS A LUXURY VEHICLE WHICH IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH. THIS VEHICLE ALWAYS HAS A UV PROTECTION VISOR UP WHEN NOT GARAGED AND THERE IS A HUGE CRACK ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH IS VERY CONCERNING. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND WITH FLIMSY INTERIOR LIKE THIS, GMC HAS NO BUSINESS CHARGING THE PRICES THAT THEY DO FOR THEIR CARS. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND WE EVEN BOUGHT INTO AN EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING WILL NOT COVER IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT GM'S INTERIOR IS CHEAPLY MADE AND THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO HONOR THEIR VEHICLES WHEN THEY FALL APART. I TRADED IN A DODGE RAM THAT HAD IMMACULATE INTERIOR THAT NEVER CRACKED AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS FALLING APART.

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!

CRACK IN DASHBOARD CONNECTED TO AIR BAG AREA

Mileage: 58,000

THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS CRACKED AND THE PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD IS FALLING DOWN AWAY FROM THE AIRBAG. I FEEL THAT THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THIS AND WORRY ABOUT PIECES OF THE BROKEN DASHBOARD FLYING INTO MINE OR MY CHILDREN'S FACES IF THE AIRBAG EVER HAS TO INFLATE.

Mileage: 53,000
