Structure complaints
8 reportsCRACKED DASHBOARD, DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT AIRBAG SAFETY IF DEPLOYED DUE TO PROXIMITY TO CRACK AND SHARP EDGES ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. DOOR HANDLES FALLING OFF, EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT. FEAR OF UNLAWFUL ENTRY INTO CAR. GM UNWILLING TO CORRECT SUBSTANDARD PARTS.
I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING MY DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS ONE ON THE HUMP WHERE STEERING WHEEL IS AND THE OTHER ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CRACK ON DRIVE SIDE IS HUGE. AND IN THE MIDDLE OF DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIR VENT IS THERE IS NOW STARTING TO BE A SEPARATION.
CRACKS IN DASHBOARD , AROUND AIRBAG. AFTER RESEARCHING INTERNET SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I CALLED GMC 1-800 # THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM..LOOK IT UP ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET..
DASHBOARD CRACKED NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG, ALSO FRACTURES AROUND DRIVER SIDE VENT AND CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER.
CRACK FORMING ON DASHBOARD NEAR LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG. MY DENALI IS ALWAYS PARKED IN A GARAGE AND I STARTED NOTICING IT LAST MONTH. I'VE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE POST THEIR DASHBOARD PICS WITH THE SAME CRACK.
PLASTIC DASHBOARD IS CRACKING. GMC DEALER QUOTED A $1,000.00 REPLACEMENT COST. DEALER PROPOSED MY COST WOULD BE $600.00. SAME DEALER REPLACED CRACKED DASHBOARD ONCE BEFORE AT NO COST TO ME. THIS CERTAINLY APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT BUT DEALER DISAGREES.
WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, WAS LOADING THE VEHICLE WITH GROCERIES AND COULD NOT GET THE BACK LEFT DOOR CLOSED, WAS VERY UNSAFE COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT, NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING, VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, WAS TOLD THE RUBBER WAS DEFECTIVE AROUND BOTH DOORS AND THE LATCHES …

WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, WAS LOADING THE VEHICLE WITH GROCERIES AND COULD NOT GET THE BACK LEFT DOOR CLOSED, WAS VERY UNSAFE COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT, NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING, VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, WAS TOLD THE RUBBER WAS DEFECTIVE AROUND BOTH DOORS AND THE LATCHES WERE RUSTED WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE DOOR FLEW OFF AND HIT SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY? WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE? I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN ON A SAFETY RECALL, NOW OF COURSE, THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. *TR
