What 399 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 GMC Yukon Denali Xl 1500

THE DASHBOARD HAS LARGE CRACKS OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IN THE AREA OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE DASH FLOPS UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING. CONCERN IS CRACK COULD PREVENT PASSENGER AIR BAG FROM DEPLORING DURING A ACCIDENT OR RIPPING THE AIR BAG AT DEPLOYMENT. ALSO LIQUID COULD ACCIDENTALLY GO THRU CRACK OVER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAUSING ELECTRICAL SHORT OR FIRE. THE CRACK CONTINUES TO GET LARGER AND LARGER.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS RECALL REMEDIED BY TO NO AVAIL. I AM CONSTANTLY BEING TOLD REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.

A CRACK APPEARED ON THE FRONT DASH NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND CRACKED OVERNIGHT. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG WORKING PROPERLY.

NHTSA ODI 11255201

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.

AS YOU'RE ALREADY AWARE OF FROM SEVERAL PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS, THE DASH BOARD IN OUR VEHICLE IS CRACKED OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND IS ALSO CRACKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. IT IS SPREADING OVER THE ENTIRE DASH AND COMPROMISED THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, WHICH IS TRULY A HAZARD. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. AND, THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF HEAT CRACKING THE DASHBOARD B/C WE KEEP OUR CAR IN THE GARAGE AND HARDLY DRIVE IT DURING THE WEEK! THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT WITH GMC AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WON'T RECALL IT!! EVEN TOYOTA HAS THE SAME ISSUE, EXCEPT THEY OFFERED A RECALL AND ALLOWED OWNERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY HAZARD AND I'M SO DISAPPOINTED IN GMC. CHEAP AND WON'T FIX THEIR MANUFACTURE MISTAKE!!!

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. MAINLY AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.

NHTSA ODI 11241610

MY YUKON'S DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, SOME EXTENDING 14 INCHES INTERFERING WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. THE SECOND LARGE CRACK IS LOCATED ABOVE AND BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE DASHBOARD AS WELL. NOTHING WAS DROPPED OR ANYWAY I OR MY FAMILY CRACKED IT. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD OWN THIS DEFECT AND PROTECT ITS LOYAL DRIVERS AND CONSUMERS, RATHER THAN WAIT AND SEE IF AN AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY PROPERLY, GOD FORBID, RISKING THE LIVES OF INNOCENTS. I SERVED MY COUNTRY IN IRAQ BECAUSE I CHOSE TO, GM CAN CHOOSE TO DEFEND ITS CONSUMERS AS WELL. EVEN A DISCOUNT ON REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WOULD BE APPRECIATED AS I KNOW PEOPLE JUST EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE GIVEN TO THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

DASH BOARD PANEL HAS CRACKED OPEN FOR UNKNOWN REASONS CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN WITH SHARP EDGES AND OPENINGS THAT ALLOW OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOREIGN OBJECTS/ITEMS TO ENTER VEHICLE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTATION PANELS. PASSENGER AIR BAG AT DASH BOARD SEEMS DEFECTIVE DUE TO CRACKED DASH BOARD PANELS AND ASSOCIATED TRIM PIECES. IT APPEARS THAN UPON AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT THERE WOULD BE POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL OCCUPANT/PASSENGER INJURIES DUE TO THE BROKEN/LOOSE FITTING/SUB-STANDARD DASH BOARD PLASTIC PIECES.

TAKATA RECALL GM RECALL 49151 TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR. THIS HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED, NO FURTHER NOTICE HAS BEEN MADE OF ANY ACTIONS, AND RESEARCH OF THE MATTER INDICATES THAT 'INCOMPLETE REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE'. AFTER ALL THIS TIME, AND THAT NOTICE WAS MADE JULY 2016, THE CONDITION HAD BEEN INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA AND FOUND NO SOLUTION. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! MY WIFE, MY KIDS, MY FRIENDS TRAVEL IN THAT SEAT. WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM IF THIS UNIT IGNITES WITH OR WITHOUT A COLLISION TYPE SITUATION, AND THEY GET SEVERELY BURNT, OR MAIMED BY THIS DEVICE WHICH IS APPARENTLY DEGRADING EACH YEAR THEY DELAY. WHAT ALTERNATIVES DO I HAVE NOW, JUST WAIT FOR IT TO EXPLODE? I REALLY THINK THIS HAS GONE FAR TO LONG ALREADY, AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. THANK YOU.
