“I was driving down the highway at about 65 MPH and I notice the dash pad starting to vibrate and then I notice a crack starting to develop and it cracked all the way threw passenger side top vent where the defrost vent is at I've seen many complaints about the same issues.”

NHTSA complaint #10566220, filed 2014-02, 92,000 miles

“My headlights just went out when driving. My high beam, and fog lights do work, however. I still have not received my passenger air bag on the recall.”

NHTSA complaint #10953937, filed 2017-02, 107,000 miles

“I'm writing this as just like loads of other people are having the same issue. I have both a 07 yukon denali and an 07 silverado 2500 both have the exact same issue. The denali is the worst. Cracked dashboard. I'm worried that if I was to have an accident and the passenger airbag was to deploy that sharp pierces of the dashboard will go flying towards the people in the vehicle. Gm really should be doing a recall on this as it is a common issue right through all the vechiles that share the same dashboard. Seems lately every week the cracks get worse. …”

“2007 Gmc denali yukon xl service air bags warning displayed intermittently after about 40k, after about 75k came on continuously. Dealer replaced a driver seat sensor, costing $ 400. He mentioned seat connector on harness to seat was broken and usually happens at a car wash or something else gets under the seat. Also mentioned while the warning message is displayed, airbags will or may not deploy and would be a danger to short people who have the seat fully forward. It sounds like a common problem that this dealer knows about. …”
