NHTSA ODI 10990802

" DASHBOARD CRACKED" ON APRIL 6TH I GOT INTO MY CAR AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A HUGE CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD RIGHT ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS UNDER GM CERTIFIED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I AM AFRAID THAT IF THERE IS A CAR ACCIDENT THEN PARTS OF THIS DASHBOARD THAT IS CRACKED WILL COME OFF AND INJURY WHOEVER IS IN THE CAR.

NHTSA ODI 10986399

SEVERELY CRACKED DASHBOARD IN MULTIPLE PLACES. EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY SHOULD THE AIRBAG INFLATE, OR DUE TO THE CRACKING IF IT WOULD EVEN OPERATE PROPERLY. THE CRACK GETS WORSE EVERY DAY DUE TO THE CONTINUOUS VIBRATING OF THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE REMEDY THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE, MOSTLY DRIVEN BY FAMILIES WITH 3 OR MORE CHILDREN, PLEASE CONSIDER THIS STRONGLY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY.

MY DASH STARTED CRACKING I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM ON GMC VEHICLES

NHTSA ODI 10984726

WE CURRENTLY OWN A 2011 GMC DENALI. NEAR THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD FROM THE MIDDLE SPLIT TO THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. THIS WEEK, THERE IS A NEW SPLIT OVER THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING ITS WAY UP TO MOST LIKELY MEET THE EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD AT ITS STEERING WHEEL CURVE. IN DUE TIME, THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD IS GOING TO CAVE IN AND CAUSE A DRIVING DANGER. THE VIBRATION OF THE TRUCK IN MOTION SEEMS TO INITIAL THE SPREAD OF THE CRACKS. THIS ENGINEERING DEFECT, ALONG WITH THE INADEQUATE DASHBOARD MATERIAL IS A GROWING PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE INCREASING EVERY DAY. PIECES OF DASHBOARD FALLING INTO YOUR DRIVING CONSOLE AS YOU DRIVE AND SHARP EDGES NEAR THE AIR BAG ARE OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS IN MY VEHICLE.

THE DASHBOARD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE CRACK. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE DASHBOARD MAKES VARIOUS VIBRATION, CHATTERING, AND RATTLING NOISES.

NHTSA ODI 10970954

THE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS SEVERELY CRACKED AND WITHOUT ANY REASON. THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER CRACK IN THE CENTER AREA. IF AIR BAG DEPLOYED NOT SURE WHAT COULD HAPPEN. CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT OUT OF EXTREME WEATHER IN A GARAGE. I HAVE OWNED OTHER GMC YUKONS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ANTENNA IN MY TRUCK. THE RADIO IS CONSTANTLY GOING IN AND OUT. MY ONSTAR HAS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. MY BLUETOOTH DROPS CALLS WITHIN A FEW MIN OF TAKING THE CALL IF I CAN EVEN GET IT TO ANSWER THE CALL. COSMETICALLY THE ISSUES I AM HAVING IS THE DASH HAS A HUGE CRACK RIGHT BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL IT GOES ALL THE WAY ACROSS TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IF I WAS TO HAVE A FRONT END CRASH SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD GO FLYING THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO 3/11/17 AND HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES SINCE PURCHASED. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ARE WELCOMED. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAGS HAVEN'T BEEN REPLACED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS A CERTIFIED PREOWNED VEHICLE 6/2014 AND PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. SHORTLY AFTER, I NOTICED MY DASH WAS CRACKED. I TOOK VEHICLE IN AND WAS TOLD ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. WAS ALSO TOLD THE SIZE OF THE AIRBAG CAUSES DASHES TO CRACK. THEY REPLACED IT 8/14. APPROX 6 MONTHS LATER IT CRACKED AGAIN, THIS TIME ITS MUCH WORSE. THEY WON'T REPAIR IT FOR FREE OR UNDER WARRANTY. THEY ONLY OFFER A 1 TIME COURTESY REPAIR. THEY ALSO SAID IT WILL CONTINUE TO CRACK BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG. SO NOW WHAT? I'M SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THIS WAY. THE ENTIRE DASH RATTLES WHILE DRIVING. IF I DRIVE OVER SPEED BUMPS YOU CAN SEE IT BOUNCE. IF THE DASH IS CRACKED AND THE AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE, HOW DO I PROTECTED FOR POSSIBLE INJURY? AM, I SUPPOSED TO KEEP SHELLING OUT $250 FOR DASH REPLACEMENTS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO CRACK? PLEASE HELP! I LIKE MY VEHICLE OTHERWISE, BUT THIS IS NOT SAFE. AND, IT'S A TOP DOLLAR DENALI. UNACCEPTABLE. I'M NOT SURE WHEN IT CRACKED. I WOULD SAY IT WAS STATIONARY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS CRACKED UNTIL I WAS ON THE ROAD AND HEARD IT RATTLE.
