Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I bought a 2010 Yukon Denali and the dash started cracking all the way to the airbag. It started as one small crack and is now all the way across the dash at the instrument panel. Upon investigating it I found that several thousand others are dealing with the same dangerous defect in yukon and tahoe vehicles dated 2007-2014 models. Gm refuses to acknowledge this or recall this. This could be potentially very dangerous if the airbag is deployed and the dash comes off in several sharp pieces. …”
NHTSA complaint #10701831, filed 2015-03, 52,000 miles“Discovered a crack in the dashboard at airbag. Car is garaged and parked in covered parking at work. Since may, 2 additional cracks have become apparent.”
NHTSA complaint #10626471, filed 2014-08, 64,000 miles“I am concerned about my interior dash on my 2010 Gmc Yukon Denali that started a crack at approximately 60,000 miles. It has since cracked in other parts of the dash not connected to the first crack. That initial crack has significantly grown since it originated. My concern is that this crack, now almost a hole, from two crack being next to each other will impede or cause a missile hazard should the passenger airbag ever be deployed. If pictures are needed I would be more than happy to provide them. …”
