Air Bags complaints

MY VEHICLES DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 2 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. I AM WORRIED ABOUT HOW THIS WILL AFFECT THE AIR BAG BECAUSE IT IS CRACKED AROUND THE LOCATION OF THE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN IN THE EVENT IF, GOD FORBID, WE ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.
TAKATA RECALL. AIRBAG(S) RECALLED IN MAY AND NO "REMEDY" 5 MONTHS LATER. MY HUSBAND DIED FROM A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG AND I AM EXTREMELY ANXIOUS OVER CONTINUING TO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR I MAY TOO DIE OR HAVE SERIOUS INJURY. I WANT THIS DEFAULT FIXED ASAP. IT IS A DAILY STRESS IN MY LIFE.
DASHBOARD CRACKED AT PASSENGER AIR BAG. IF DEPLOYED PIECES OF PLASTIC WILL FLY THRU THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND HURT OR KILL PASSENGERS OR PUNCTURE AI BAG RENDERING IT USELESS

I PURCHASED A 2010 YUKON DENALI AND THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING. IT STARTED AS A SMALL CRACK THAT WAS BARELY NOTICED AND IS NOW A LARGE CRACK ACROSS THE DASH BETWEEN THE AIR VENTS. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME DEFECT IN YUKON MODELS MANUFACTURED SINCE 2010. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VE…

I PURCHASED A 2010 YUKON DENALI AND THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING. IT STARTED AS A SMALL CRACK THAT WAS BARELY NOTICED AND IS NOW A LARGE CRACK ACROSS THE DASH BETWEEN THE AIR VENTS. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME DEFECT IN YUKON MODELS MANUFACTURED SINCE 2010. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AND THE DASH COMES OFF IN SEVERAL SHARP PIECES AS SHOWN IN THE TAKATA RECALL ISSUE.
THE PLASTIC DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED. IT STARTED OUT SMALL COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND STRETCHING TO THE EDGE OF THAT DASH PANEL. NOW A SECOND PART OF THE DASH HAS CRACKED BY THE DRIVER SIDE OVER THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER. THE PORTION OF THE DASH THAT'S CRACKED BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN AS I…

THE PLASTIC DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED. IT STARTED OUT SMALL COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND STRETCHING TO THE EDGE OF THAT DASH PANEL. NOW A SECOND PART OF THE DASH HAS CRACKED BY THE DRIVER SIDE OVER THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER. THE PORTION OF THE DASH THAT'S CRACKED BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN AS IT COULD BREAK OFF AND CAUSE SHARP PIECES TO HIT THE PASSENGER IN THE FACE OF THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. MY GMC DEALER STATED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THIS "COSMETIC" ISSUE AND THEREFORE I WILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR A PORTION OF THE COST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HE VEHICLE IS GARAGED. THERE COULD BE NO LONG TERM DAMAGE TO THE DASH OTHER THAN WHAT IT'S INTENDED TO DO WHICH IS TO BE UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. GMC - OWN THIS ISSUE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM PLEASE. I'M NOT LIKELY TO BE A REPEAT CUSTOMER OF YOU CAN'T PRODUCE A SUPERIOR AND RELIABLE PRODUCT -OR- BE RESPONSIBLE AND CORRECT AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.
CRACKED DASH. STARTED SMALL AND HAVE ENDED UP WITH A HOLE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL.
