DASH BOARD CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT ON THE AIRBAG'S LEFT HAND CORNER. CRACK IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY. DEALER WONT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY UNLESS GMC WILL APPROVE TO DO SO. VEHICLE IS AT ALL TIMES ON GARAGE OR UNDER SHADE SO SUN HAS NO EFFECT TO THE DIFFECT. BOUGHT THE 2012 YUKON DENALI 1 YEAR AGO AS CERTIFIED PREOWNED VEHICLE WITH A 1 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.

THERE ARE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. ONE SMALL HAIRLINE BY THE SPEAKER AND ONE BIG ONE BY THE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT HAPPENED.

DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER (SNOW AND RAIN) WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NECESSARY FOR VISIBILITY, THE WIPERS WOULD EITHER MOVE VERY SLOWLY OR INTERMITTENTLY AND STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD DESPITE THE WIPER CONTROL SET TO HIGH AND NOT ON THE INTERMITTENT SETTING. THIS WOULD OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT IDLE AND IN MOTION, ANY SPEED. THIS OCCURRED BETWEEN MARCH 2016 UNTIL A NEW WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY WAS PURCHASED AND INSTALLED WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY 2016. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE OF RECALL FROM GMC HOWEVER I DID DISCOVER A RECALL THROUGH WWW.AUTOZONE.COM (# 15789: SERVICE PARTS SAFETY - WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILURE - (OCT 26, 2015)) . ON 10/27/2016, I CALLED GMC TO SEE IF REIMBURSEMENT WAS POSSIBLE AND THEY COULD NOT ASSIST ME DUE TO THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY BEING EXPIRED. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED CERTIFIED USED THROUGH AUCTIONDIRECTUSA ON 10/8/2015 WITH AN AMERIPLUS WARRANTY (36 MONTH/ 36000MILE).

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE CRACK. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND PLASTIC DASH PIECES TURN INTO PROJECTILES. MY VEHICLE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE PROBLEM.

DASHBOARD CRACKED SPONTANEOUSLY FROM TOP EDGE TO WINDOW EDGE OVER ODOMETER AND A SMALL CRACK AT PASSENGER AIRBAG.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, STATIONARY, ON A SUBURBAN STREET IN A SMALL TOWN OVERNIGHT BEGINNING AT ABOUT 8PM ON FRIDAY AUGUST 12,2016. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, AUGUST 13, 2016 AT AT ABOUT 7:30 AM I ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO GO TO THE STORE AND OBSERVED A LARGE CRACK RUNNING PERPENDICULAR WITH THE DASH FROM NEAR THE WINDOW TO A OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH SIMILAR GM MODELS BETWEEN 2007-2013(14). THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE POORLY CRAFTED PLASTIC DASHBOARD CRACKS EASILY WITH NO PRESSURE APPLIED TO IT. THIS MEANS THAT THAT IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, WITH GREAT PRESSURE APPLIED, THE DASH WOULD DISINTEGRATE AT AN ALARMING RATE AND WOULD LEAD TO SHARDS OF PLASTIC IMPAILING THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE WITH VARYING AMOUNTS OF HARM. THIS DEFECT IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY SEVERAL OTHER GM SUV/TRUCK OWNERS FOR THIS YEAR SPAN OF PRODUCTION.

POWER LIFT GATE MALFUNCTION. THE POWER LIFT GATE STRUTS FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE LIFT GATE TO OPEN ONLY 1/3 OF THE WAY BEFORE CLOSING UNEXPECTEDLY. SOMETIME IT WOULD OPEN ALL THE AWAY, THE POWER ARM WOULD THEN DISENGAGE CAUSING IT TO UNEXPECTEDLY CLOSE. SOMETIME IT WOULD CLOSE AS "DEAD WEIGHT" WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO SERIOUSLY INJURE AN ADULT AND POSSIBLE KILL A CHILD OR PET. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS. I PURCHASED IT AS CERTIFIED USED. I WAS CHARGED $415 FOR THE REPAIR. UNFAIR AS THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD! FURTHER, I AUTHORIZED THE WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 4:45PM, MY VEHICLE WAS COMPLETE BY 5:30PM THE SAME DAY. I WAS CHARGED TWO HOURS LABOR AT $125 PER HOUR. HOW IS THAT FAIR? MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, REPEATEDLY. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE. OTHER THAN THIS, I LOVE MY GMC!!!!!

DASH HAS CRACKED ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL. CRACK IS APPROXIMATELY 6-8-INCHES IN LENGTH. DASH IS ALSO CRACKED IN TWO LOCATIONS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I FEEL THESE CRACKS COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED. THESE CRACKS OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE NOT THE RESULT OF A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT OR BEING STRUCK BY AN OBJECT.
