2010 GMC YUKON Structure Problems

Engine front hood pops up into the safety latch position while driving down the road at highway speed and in cold weather or in a strong headwind.

The contact owns a 2010 GMC Yukon. The contact stated the front driver’s side dashboard was fractured. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V050000 (Air Bags) and took the vehicle to a local dealer to be repaired. The dealer declined to service the vehicle under recall due to the dashboard being fractured. The dealer and manufacturer informed the contact that the recall repair would be performed once the dashboard was replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

The top of the dashboard instrument panel keeps cracking in several places despite trying to prevent any or further cracks. It is very visible and it is now cracking towards the steering wheel and the cover to the passenger air bag area. concerned that because it is in close range to passenger airbag component area as well as the steering column area that eventually there will some malfunction in either components.

SINCE 2016 THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE DASH CRACKING, RECENTLY THIS ISSUE HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. THE DASH IS LITERALLY ABOUT TO FALL IN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY DURING TIMES IT WAS SITTING ALTHOUGH DRIVING HAS DEFINITELY MADE IT MUCH WORSE. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIRBAG DOES HAPPEN TO GO OFF IT'S GOING TO THROW SHARP PIECES OF PLASTIC FLYING THROUGHOUT THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE FOUND IS IF I SET ANY PAPERS ON THE DASH THEY FALL INTO THE DASH. I CAN NOW SEE THE WIRING INSIDE THE DASH BECAUSE OF THE MISSING PIECES. ON TOP OF THIS YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TOUCHING THE DASH AS I HAVE BEEN CUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FROM THE SHARP EDGES CREATED BY THIS ISSUE. THE CENTER OF THE DASH APPEARS TO BE ON BORROWED TIME IT HAS SUNKEN NEARLY A HALF AN INCH WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THIS IS JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR THE VEHICLE AND REFUSES TO FIX IT WITHOUT ME FOOTING THE BILL. THIS JUST SEEMS OUTRAGEOUS ON A CAR PRICED NORTH OF 60K

TIME HAS HAPPENED. POOR MANUFACTURING!!! MY DASH CRACKED ON IT'S OWN AS YOU HAVE HAD MILLIONS OF COMPLAINTS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO RECALL THESE DASHES? MINE IS CRACKED BY THE AIR BAD AND IS EXPOSING WIRE!!! HOW IS THIS SAFE, WHY DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THIS? IS THIS THE QUALITY THAT GM STANDS BY! THE CRACK JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE! YOU CAN SEE THE HUGE GAPING HOLE WITH THE WIRES EXPOSED. IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS A LAW SUIT WILL BE IN ACTION! THIS DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAVE WRITTEN OVER AND OVER WILL BE KNOWN AS WELL AS YOU NOT RESPONDING! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! PLEASE NOTE MY SUV IS STORED IN A GARAGE AS WELL!!!

I HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN A COMPLAINT LAST YEAR WITH NO RESPONSE. SINCE MY COMPLAINT OF THE CRACK I HAVE ON THE DRIVER SIDE IT IS NOW A HOLE. IT IS EXPOSING ALL DASH WIRES AND IS VERY, VERY SHARP. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS AS THE TEMPS OUTSIDE CAN MELT THE WIRES AND THE DASH CAN CUT YOUR HAND!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT GMC MADE PLASTIC DASH'S TO HOLD UP IN ALL TEMP'S WHEN WE ALL KNOW THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. THE HOLE IS VERY VISIBLE AND IS MORE THAN 4 INCHES WIDE!!!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. ALSO, THE DASHBOARD HAD TWO CRACKS AT THE LOCATION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

2010 GMC YUKON HAS BEEN CRACKING OVER THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THEN ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WE NOTICED THE CRACKS WHILE CLEANING SINCE IT HAS A DASH COVER. VEHICLE IS GARAGED AND ALWAYS HAS A DASH MAT AND WINDSHIELD SHADE. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO GO OFF.

DRIVER'S SIDE DASH IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED (6-8" FISSURE). FROM VENT NEAR WINDSHIELD TO ABOUT HALFWAY UP CURVED PART OF DASH. SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; I OWN A 2010 GMC YUKON. I AS WELL AS OTHERS HAVE A CRACKED DASHBOARD, ONE NEAR THE DEPLOYMENT OF MY AIRBAG AND ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE BY THE STEERING COLUMN. CONSIDERING GMC'S INTEREST IN THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF THEIR VEHICLES. IT IS A SHAME THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL BECAUSE OF SUCH REASON AS DEATH! THERE IS A HUGE CONCERN THAT THE SHARP EDGES OF THE CRACKS CAN ABSOLUTELY CAUSE HE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AND GETTING YOUR HAND CUT AND INFECTION IS A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY. NOT TO MENTION THE ATTENTION THAT THE CRACKED DASH IS. WHEN SOMEONE IS WALKING BY IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE AND LOOKS BAD FOR GMC. THIS HAS BEEN BROADCAST-ED ON THE MEMPHIS, TN NEWS LATELY AND ONE DASH OUT OF PLENTY HAS BEEN PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF. IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS I DO PLAN ON GOING TO THE NEWS AND TAKEN FURTHER ACTION. I WOULD WANT TO THINK THAT GMC WOULD WANT TO HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS AND BE COMPLIANT WITH THIS KNOWN, IGNORED AND ON GOING ISSUE! WAITING UNTIL DAMAGE IS DONE IS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO. FIXING THIS ISSUE IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND GMC SHOULD STAND WITH THAT. I WILL BE WAITING TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE VERY SOON. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! *TR

THE DASHBOARDS OF 2007-2013 CHEVY, GMC, CADILLAC SUV'S AND TRUCKS BECOME CRACKED DUE TO A FACTORY DEFECT IN THE MATERIALS USED TO MAKE THEM. THEY IN TURN RATTLE SEVERELY. THE MAIN CAUSE FOR CONCERN IN UPON AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PIECES FROM THE DASH CAN PUNCTURE THE AIR BAG RENDERING IT USELESS AND ALSO PIECES FROM THE DASH CAN BECOME PROJECTILES CAUSING SEVERE INJURY AS WELL. GM HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY IT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER IDENTICAL CASES ON THE INTERNET ON VARIOUS GM FORUMS ALL STATING THE SAME THING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!

PASSENGER SIDE (DASH SUDENTLY CRACKED RIGHT NEAR THE POCKET WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS). *TR

Mileage: 28,000

SIGNIFICANT CRACKS IN HARD PLASTIC DASHBOARD HAVE APPEARED INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. SOME CRACKS HAVE CREATED SHARDS OF HARD PLASTIC THAT FALL INTO THE DASH AREA & CAN NOT BE RECOVERED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SHARDS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO HARM THE AIRBAG AND PREVENT THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. SEEMS GM SHOULD BE WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE & SHOULD REPLACE THESE DASHES THAT ARE BREAKING DOWN DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING MATERIALS. *TR

THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS NO APPARENT REASON THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER YUKONS IN THE PAST AND THE DASH BOARDS NEVER CRACKED. A FRIEND MENTIONED THIS WEBSITE TO REPORT IT TO. I HOPE GM FIXES THIS PROBLEM. *TR
