2009 GMC Yukon Denali Xl

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED. ITS THE SAME PROBLEM SO MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING. MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ON BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE ALL THE WAY TO THE AIRBAG. WE HAVE EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIRBAG GOES OFF, THAT WHOEVER IS DRIVING OR A PASSENGER WILL GET HIT WITH PIECES OF PLASTIC FROM THE DASH CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. I COULD KEEP PASSENGERS OUT OF THE FRONT, BUT THE DRIVER I CANNOT..WE NEED TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. I WORK AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN.PAX SIDE HAD A SMALL CRACK WHEN PURCHASED BUT IT IS NOW ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG EACH..

THERE HAS YET TO BE AN OFFER TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ARE BEING SENT NOTICES TO DISCONTINUE USE BY NOT ALLOWING ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND TO GET IT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY, AND YET THERE IS NO SUCH ACTION FOR OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. WE DEMAND A REPAIR BE MADE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND WE CAN NOT FIT OUR ENTIRE FAMILY IN IT WITHOUT SOMEONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL...I LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER WHEN THE RECALL CAME OUT AND MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A YEAR SINCE AND HAVE NOW TAKEN IT TO TRADE IN ON A NEW CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT IS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL AND SINCE THE RECALL IS UNREPAIRABLE AND IS A FATAL RECALL THEY WILL SCRAP THE CAR. I AM NOW OUT MONEY DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN ANDHAVEBEEN DRIVING MY 3 CHILDREN AROUND IN A CAR THAT HAD A FATAL RECALL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN DRIVING AT 40 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CAME ACROSS THE DRIVERS PATH AND CRASH DIRECTLY HEAD ON INTO THE DRIVERS VEHICLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE STEERING WHEEL FRACTURED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED WHIP LASH AS WELL AS THE TWO CHILD PASSENGERS BUT MEDICAL TREATMENT WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A YARD AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS TO INSPECT THE DAMAGES. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN I ENTERED MY VEHICLE I NOTICED A CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD LEADING TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG PANEL. THE CRACK LEADS TO THE TOP LEFT OF THE AIRBAG PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, LOCATED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. WILL THIS INTERFERE WITH DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG? IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT, WILL THE DASH COME REMOVED AND INJURE A RIDER? WILL THE PLASTIC SHARDS CAUSE BODILY HARM?
