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.
