2009 GMC YUKON Unknown Or Other Problems

The dashboard cracked

MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL ISSUED -NHTSA #21V050 - TRANSPORT CANADA #20591 - RECALL # N212328760 FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TAKATA INFLATOR-PRIORITY GROUP 6

My 2009 GMC Yukon Denali has a major safety issue. The hard plastic dash has multiple cracks, which is a huge safety concern in the case of an accident. The dash could explode inside the vehicle causing injury to me and/or other passengers. The dashboard could also interfere with the operation of the airbag due to multiple cracks being around the passenger air bag. I have reached out to GM customer service twice and both time they advised me that a manager will reach out to me but they never did. I’m hoping this report will make GM accountable for the vehicle defect they made and pay to fix/repair the dash.

Cracks in dashboard including crack up to passenger airbag. Truck has been garage kept since new,

ABOUT 38 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2009 YUKON MY DASH CRACKER FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE DRIVER SIDE. I CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE ISSUES AND GMC TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COST THAT I HAD TO ABSORB. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 60 MINUTES.

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING A CRACK AT THE EDGE OF THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY QUOTED A REPAIR PRICE OF 1800. THEY ADMITTED THAT A CRACKED DASH HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN GMC YUKONS. THE CRACKS BEGAN IN 2013 AND I HAD JUST OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS. I TAKE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD CARE OF IT AND THE REST OF THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE CRACK IS CONCERNING AROUND THE AIR BAG BECAUSE IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED DURING AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY OF SHARP DEBRIS CAUSING INJURY.

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES AFTER ALREADY BEING REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP ONCE. THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND NOW IT IS CRACKED AGAIN IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT. MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALSO ON.

THE DASHBOARD WHICH IS MADE OF HARD PLASTIC IS CRACKING NEAR AND TOUCHING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. IT WILL CAUSE SHARDS OF THICK HARD PLASTIC TO BE PROJECTED INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. ALSO LARGE PIECES WILL ALSO BE INTERJECTED INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT IN THE CASE OF ANY ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOSE.

A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH DASHBOARD CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES IS A SAFETY CONCERN IF AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED. GM WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE DEFECT. MANY COMPLAINTS AND NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAFETY CONCERN. DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES DIRECTLY BEHIND AIRBAG.

Mileage: 90,000

THE DASH IS CRACKING ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THIS IS A NOTED SAFETY ISSUE SINCE AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY CREATE FLYING BROKEN PARTS FROM THE DASH. THIS IS A WELL REPORTED ISSUE THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN COVERED BY A RECALL. OVER 3700 OWNERS HAVE JOINED A FACEBOOK GROUP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/?FREF=NF. DEALERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVE FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS DEFECT AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS.

THERE IS CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD FROM THE UPPER LEFT SIDE OF THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. THE DASH IS ALSO CRACKED ABOVE WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL AND INSTRUMENT PANEL IS. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

THE VEHICLES DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.

CRACKED DASHBOARD

Mileage: 96,000

A FEW WEEKS AGO THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK ON MY 2009 GMC YUKON. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW ON 10/10/09 AND HAD ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRE 10/2015. WARRANTY EXPIRED ANOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THIS HAPPENED. I WENT ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY FOLKS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE WITH AN ACTIVE LAWSUIT. GMC SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPARI THIS FAULTY DASHBOARD TO AVOID FURTHER INJURY OF PLASTIC FLYING IN PASSENGERS FACES IF AN AIRBAG EVER DOES DEPLOY.

Mileage: 77,500

TOP LEFT HAND CORNER OF DASHBOARD ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG COVER IS CRACKING. MY GMC HAS 26000 MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN PARKED IN A GARAGE. I'VE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP.

Mileage: 26,000

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THE WORST CRACKS ARE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BUT THERE ARE CRACKS TOUCHING THE AIR BAG COVER. IT SEEMS I FIND A NEW CRACK ABOUT EVERY FEW MONTHS. BESIDES BEING A FAULTY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH SHOULD START FALLING INTO THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASH.

Mileage: 54,000

THE VEHICLES DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. THE FIRST CRACK HAS OCCURRED IN THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INTRODUCING A POTENTIAL STRUCTURAL AND DEBRIS CONCERN UPON AN AIRBAG DEFLATION. THE SECOND CRACK HAS OCCURRED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FROM THE DEFROST AIR VENTS ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF THE DASH PANEL. A THIRD HAS AROSE JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE SECOND, AGAIN TRAVELING FROM THE VENT TO THE TOP OF THE CONTOURS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS NOT ONLY A MATTER OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY, BUT NOT THE LEVEL OF QUALITY ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM A VEHICLE WITH A STICKER PRICE NORTH OF $50K. THERE IS NO LONGER STRUCTURE INTEGRITY WITHIN THE DASH AND IT NOW BOUNCES EMBARRASSINGLY WITH EVERY BUMP IN THE ROAD. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE QUALITY OF THIS DEFECTIVE DASH.
