What 393 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 GMC Yukon Xl 1500

THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES, ONE NEAR THE STEARING COLUMN AND ONE ON THE PERIMETER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I'M CONCERNED IT WILL EFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS MOSTLY STORED IN A GARAGE AND WAS NOT EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT FOR A LARGE AMOUNT OF TIME.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE CRACK IN THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES RIGHT TO WHERE THE AIRBAG IS.

NHTSA ODI 10825324

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING. MY BELIEF IS IF THE VEHICLE ACTIVATES THE AIRBAG IN AN ACCIDENT, THE DASHBOARD MAY SPLIT INTO PIECES AND SEND THE PIECES INTO THE PASSENGERS.

CRACKING OF THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND THE COMMON OCCURRENCE OF CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN THE GM FULL-SIZE TRUCKS AND SUVS CAUSES CONCERN OF POTENTIAL SHRAPNEL WITHIN THE PASSENGER CABIN IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

NHTSA ODI 10818133

WHILE PARKED, A FULL-WIDTH CRACK FORMED IN THE AN APPROXIMATELY 1-INCH-WIDE SECTION OF THE DASHBOARD, IMMEDIATELY FORWARD OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT, IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THIS COMPROMISE IN DASHBOARD INTEGRITY WILL CREATE PROJECTILES WITHIN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

I HAVE A CRACK IN MY DASH CONNECTING TO THE PASSEGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. GM IS NOT WILLING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OR ISSUE A RECALL WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THEY APPARENTLY DONT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS AND STILL IGNORE THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL HAVE TO BE HURT FOR GM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BUT IF ITS MY CAR THAT SOMEONE GETS HURT IN, THEY WILL HAVE A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS!! UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ UPDATED 12/06/2017*CN

MY DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND CLUSTER, WHICH A MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE AIR-BAG. I HAVE DONE NUMEROUS SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND I AM SEEING THIS SAME COMPLAINT OVER AND OVER. I AM VERY CURIOUS WITH IT HAPPENING SO MUCH WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AND GMC TAKEN CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY AND THE HIGH COST OF REPAIRING THIS MYSELF, BUT I KNOW IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I'VE OWNED GMC VEHICLES FOREVER AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY, UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I THINK THE COMPANY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, AND QUICKLY. *TR

A 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM HENDRICK DURHAM AUTO MALL IN DURHAM, NC. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT IN GREAT CONDITION AND IS SERVICED REGULARLY. THE DASH HAS A LARGE CRACK AND SPLINTERING ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE MANY OTHER GMC AND CHEVROLET PRODUCTS WITHIN THIS LINE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAD A STICKER COST OVER $60,000 AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND ONLY OFFER A DISCOUNT. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE MANY OF THE DASHES ARE ALSO CRACKING IN THE AREA OF THE AIRBAGS. THIS CAN POSSIBLY CREATE SHRAPNEL UPON DEPLOYMENT CONSIDERING HOW BRITTLE THE DASHES ARE. *TR
