Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Came out to my garaged yukon to find a small crack in the dash at the passenger side airbag. I now have another very large crack in front of the steering wheel. There is also a second crack near the airbag which has created a triangle piece of plastic that is nearly loose and looks like it could fall in the dash or become a projectile if the airbag was to deploy.”
NHTSA complaint #11118834, filed 2018-08, 82,500 miles“The dashboard in our 2011 Gmc Yukon Denali cracked directly above the audio/navigation console. It now vibrates and moves during normal driving, particularly on the highway. We have never placed or mounted anything on the dashboard, and the truck was not in use during the approximate time of cracking, strongly suggesting this is a manufacturing defect.”
NHTSA complaint #11024235, filed 2017-09, 40,000 miles“My dashboard cracked within 8 months of me purchasing the vehicle. After replacing the dashboard with a new one, this one is cracking in the exact same spots as the previous one. Gmc is telling me it will cost $1000 to replace. I feel this is factory issue and a safety concern as well as it is near where the air bags are. It should be recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #10859781, filed 2016-04, 58,000 miles“My 2011 Gmc Yukon Denali has 50k miles and is garaged daily. Like many others my dash is cracking over the speedometer. I fear the deployment of airbags will send shrapnel throughout the vehicle wich will cause my family and I great harm. I this is a well documented manufacturers defect and demand a recall. I hope GM will stand behind their product and do the right thing.”
NHTSA complaint #10851159, filed 2016-03, 45,000 miles“Dash board unexpectedly cracked at the exact same spots on the driver side and passenger side. The location is over the airbags which could possibly turn the dash board into shrapnel if my family and I were to get into an accident. Gmc said there is no recall and that they will not replace it.”
