2009 GMC Yukon Denali

MY DASH IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. IT IS CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG. THE OTHER ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE ARIBAG. THE WHOLE DASH RATTLES NOW WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY SINCE THEY ARE RIGHT ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND OVER THE STEERING COLUMN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY WIFE AND I HEARD A POP AND SHORTY AFTER THAT SOME RATTLING. WE LOOKED AND FOUND THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE DASH HAS SINCE CRACKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH AND RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT IT WOULD SERIOUSLY HURT A PASSENGER IF TH AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND I WOULD APPRECIATE IF GM WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IF IT WAS HIS HE WOULD JUST PIT A DASH COVER ON IT. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND I DONT DRIVE MY VEHICLES LIKE THAT. I HAVE BOUGHT ABOUT 25 GM'S IN MY LIFE SO I HAVE BEEN LOYAL EVEN THRU THE BAD TIMES. GM SHOULD PAY TO FIX THIS.

WHILE DRIVING, I STARTED HEARING STRANGE RATTLING NOISES FROM THE DASHBOARD. WE I INSPECTED THE DASH BOARD, I NOTICED IT WAS CRACKED BY THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON BOTH SIDES. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD WILL MOST LIKELY EXPLODE, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE INJURY THAN THE AIRBAG WAS DESIGNED TO AVOID. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT FROM GM CUSTOMERS. WHILE I RECENTLY PAID TO HAVE MY DASH REPLACED, I'M HOPING GM WILL ISSUE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND I WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR REPAIRING THIS DEFECT.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, I WAS HEARING STRANGE CRACKING.NOISES FROM THE DASHBOARD FOR 2 DAYS. THEN I LOOKED AT THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD, AND IT WAS CRACKED BY THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. SHOULD THE AIRBAG BE DEPLOYED, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD WILL EXPLODE, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE INJURY THAN THE AIRBAG WAS DESIGNED TO AVOID. HOPEFULLY, GMC WILL ADDRESS THIS IN A RECALL.

THE UPPER DASH HAS TWO CRACKS NEXT TO THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG OPENING. I CANNOT GET THESE CRACKS REPAIRED BECAUSE THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I CANNOT FIND OUT IF THE BROKEN, CRACKED UPPER DASH COULD ALSO INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY OPEN CASE # 8-1633101708 BUT HAVE NOT OFFERED TO FIX OR REPLACE THE UPPER DASH.

THE PROBLEM ON MY 2009 YUKON, IN LESS THEN 2 WEEKS MY DASHBOARD CRACKED IN 3 PLACES. 2 BY THE AIR BAGS AND 1 BY THE STEERING COLUMN. I'M THINKING THE ONES BY THE AIR BAGS ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM. IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAPPEN TO GO OFF , WITH THE CRACKED DASHBOARD. WILL THE DASH EXPLODE IN TO PIECES, LIKE SHRAPNEL. CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO HUMAN LIFE? THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT STAYS UNDER A BREEZEWAY WHEN NOT IN USE. WE WHERE DRIVING AN HERD A POP IN THE DASH. THEN THE NEXT THING WE KNOW WE HAVE 3 CRACKS. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.. *TR
