What 180 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 GMC Yukon Denali Xl 1500

THE DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH MOUNTED AIRBAG. THIS COULD CAUSE THE FRAGILE PLASTIC TO ACT AS SHRAPNEL IF THE AIRBAG ACTIVATES. THE VEHICLE IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS 39000 MILES.

OUR 2013 DENALI WHICH WE PURCHASED NEW IN 2014 HAS HAD A CRACKED DASHBOARD ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR MORE THAN A YEAR (~2 YEARS OLD). THE INTEGRITY OF THE DASH AND AIRBAG ARE PROBLEMATIC. THERE IS NO TANGIBLE SUPPORT UNDER THE DASH -- DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S PLASTIC!!! THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION, JUST HAPPENED ONE DAY WHEN IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. YESTERDAY THE OUTSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF --- AGAIN, PLASTIC PARTS INSTEAD OF METAL. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, THAT PASSENGER MIGHT NOT HAVE AN AIRBAG PROPERLY DEPLOYED AND NOBODY COULD OPEN THAT DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE TO RESCUE THEM!

THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS CRACKED AND THE PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD IS FALLING DOWN AWAY FROM THE AIRBAG. I FEEL THAT THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THIS AND WORRY ABOUT PIECES OF THE BROKEN DASHBOARD FLYING INTO MINE OR MY CHILDREN'S FACES IF THE AIRBAG EVER HAS TO INFLATE.

I TRADED IN A GMC HYBRID JUNE 2014 & PURCHASED A 2013 GMC YUKON XL 1500 SLT. THE HYBRID I TRADED IN HAD A CRACKED DASH. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A RARE THING THAT HAPPENED FOR WHATEVER REASON. MY CURRENT YUKON ALSO NOW HAS A CRACKED DASH. AFTER MINIMAL DIGGING, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE AN ISSUE IN THEIR VEHICLES MADE BETWEEN A CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS. MY DASH CRACK IS AT MY AIRBAG. #1, & MOST IMPORTANT, IS THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGER. #2 IS THE FACT THAT I PAID A HUGE AMOUNT FOR THIS VEHICLE. ANY FLAWS OR ISSUES THAT ARE CAUSED BY THE MAKER SHOULD 100% BE COVERED AND REPAIRED. I HAVE AN APPT. WITH THE DEALER. LADY SAID DASH REPLACEMENT IS PROBABLY NOT COVERED AND COULD COST ME $500.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT. I FOUND WHERE ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? I AM UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE DATE IT HAPPENED. I WENT TO CLEAN IT AND NOTICED IT WAS CRACKED. TOOK IT INTO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP; AT THAT POINT IT WAS RECOMMENDED I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM.

HEY ANDY I HAVE A 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. I GOT IT OCTOBER 2014, AND WILL HAVE OWNED IT THREE (3) YEARS THIS OCTOBER. AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES, I DISCOVERED A CRACK ON MY DASH NEAR THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I PUT IN A COMPLAINT AND THEY (GMC) TOLD ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL DEALER SHIP AND THEY WOULD SALE ME THE DASH AT COST, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR. THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE ABOUT $800.00. I TOLD THEM THE TRUCK IS JUST A FEW THOUSAND MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. AFTER THOROUGH RESEARCH, I FOUND THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS I.
