“My dashboard is cracking for no reason. There is a crack where the passenger side airbag is installed. I'm concerned that in the event of an accident, items like the speaker in the dash board will become projectiles. I am also concerned that if the airbag deploys then potentially shards of broken plastic will also be flying through the cabin.”
NHTSA complaint #11253272, filed 2019-09, 47,000 miles“I have two cracks on my dash one at the passenger side air bag it is about one inch long.the other cracks is much longer.if is on the drivers side near the area that is humped up at the steering wheel. When I bought this car the cracks were very small the one near the steering wheel just keeps getting bigger!”
NHTSA complaint #10991725, filed 2017-05, 119,000 miles“I'm a 2011gmc Yukon owner that has a cracked dash that in only a matter of time is going to affect the air bag. When I reached out to Gmc, they told that I would have to wait for an accident to happen before they would look into the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10885668, filed 2016-07, 40,000 miles“The dashboard has progressively being cracking for over a year. It has now become very bad in two areas. Above the airbag on the passengers side and all around the housing above the odometers there are several long cracks. I am very concerned that the spreading rate will increase with pieces possibly creaking off and should an accident occur that shard's of plastic could injury passengers or my children. I have contact Gmc and they have told me that they do not see any problem and that they would not address this situation. …”
NHTSA complaint #10818851, filed 2016-01, 58,000 miles“Our dashboard cracked on a 3 year old car - the local dealer repaired it and the repair lasted all of a day. The crack got progressively bigger and GM refused to cover any of the cost to replace, telling us our only option was to replace the entire dash at a cost of over $1200. We have had it patched by a local repair place who did a better job than the dealer, but the dash still vibrates to the point of shaking and the patch is now coming apart again. The actual crack is now over a 1/2 big. We are worried about the airbags deploying and the sharp plastic causing serious injury.”
