“I bought a 2016 Yukon Denali on 8/8/2017. I was notified on august 9, 2016 that my 2007 Yukon Denali was included in the takata airbag recall. Gmc did not notify me about the recall in a timely manner. I would not have purchased the 2016 vehicle. Gmc has not fixed the 2007. I cannot sell it.”
NHTSA complaint #11013614, filed 2017-08, 126,000 miles“Takata recall started vehicle on 2-1-19 and after turning ignition on passenger air bag exploded out and the side panels followed. Vehicle was in park and had not been driven in a few days. It all happened extremely fast but I saw glovebox burst open and sparks fly out and the airbag sounded like an explosion! Scared to death! I jumped out unsure what was going on and the side panel bag grazed my face! Could have ended badly if happened while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11174990, filed 2019-02, 185,000 miles“My 2007 yukon xl denali dashboard crackd in three different places. At the airbag, left side top of dash at instrament cluster and in the middle top. The vehicle was still under warrantee but GM and the dealer refused to make the repair. On two different occasions I filed a complaint with GM and the dealer but was refused in 2010, 2012 and 2014. I am concered that f the passenger airbag deploys the dash debris with damage me and my family as it did on my sisters GM vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10762494, filed 2015-09, 32,840 miles“When we purchased the vehicle approx. 3.5 years ago, it had a small crack in the dashboard. Last december, it was noticed that the crack had gotten much bigger, and now a second crack has been noted. This is becoming a major safety concern, as the dash may shatter in a front-end collision with airbag deployment. Upon doing research on;ine, I found that I am not alone. There are thousands of reports of similar issues among similar years and models. Please help me keep my family safe by requiring GM to provide a fix or replacement. Thank you!”
NHTSA complaint #11120173, filed 2018-08, 77,000 miles“My 2007 Yukon Denali dash has cracked in 2 places. It is clearly a manufacturers defect due to thousands of other yukons experiencing the exact same problems, but the dealer refuses to fix it. I am concerned that if the air bags were to deploy, there might be sharp pieces of flying plastic debris originating from the cracked areas. Yes, the cracks are annoying, but I am concerned for the safety of the driver or any passengers in the vehicle due to the structural instability of the dash.”
