“The dash board is cracked from the driver side all the way to the passenger side airbag. Upon doing research, this is a common occurrence with these models. I've contacted GM customer care and advised them of the issue as well as my concern that the cracked dash board may puncture the airbag and become inoperable during an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11366948, filed 2020-10, 70,670 miles“While driving in tennessee on a family vacation, we heard a crack from the front area of the car and the passenger saw the dashboard had cracked. The crack is in the middle though I'm concerned it may interfere with airbag deployment. It was a sunny day in the summertime. The interior temperature was set to 76 degrees. We were on a smooth highway, going about 50mph. We did not hit any road obstructions or holes. …”
NHTSA complaint #11397058, filed 2021-02, 185,000 miles“I had my grandchild strapped in her car seat in the back seat of my Yukon. However, as we made a stop for me to remove her from the car, I pulled the outside door handle and the entire handle came off for no apparent reason. This was alarming to me because, what if this had been an emergency situation and I had to immediately rescue her from the vehicle. When I went to the dealership the service person informed me this happens a lot where the door handle breaks, and it appears they were 'possibly engineered inappropriately'. …”
NHTSA complaint #11045791, filed 2017-11, 51,000 miles“My 2013 Yukon xl denali has developed crack on the dashboard. It is located to the right of the hump over the instrument panel. The crack started as a half inch hair line crack about 3 weeks ago and has now turned into a eight inch long crack. Seems to keep growing. I have about 44,398 miles and the vehicle. It is well maintained and cared for. No abuse or off road driving. I have contacted the dealer and waiting to hear back. In my world this is still a new vehicle and at a cost of $60k this is unacceptable.”
NHTSA complaint #10713345, filed 2015-04, 44,300 miles“The Yukon that we own has a crack that connects to the passenger airbag. We bought a full warranty (was a pre-owned car) that was supposed to cover all, but when we took it to the Gmc dealer, they said it's not covered! I called Gmc directly telling them I feel it's a safety concern since it's connected to the airbag and they responded saying that its not a concern and they would not replace it. If there is an accident and my passenger airbag is deployed, I fear that part of the dash will come flying off as well. After researching, I see this is a very common problem with the Gmc dash. …”
