IllustrationAFTER 3 YEARS I HAD MY DASHBOARD REPLACE DUE TO A CRACK & RATTLE WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT STILL COST ME $500. 2 YEARS LATER THE REPLACEMENT DASH HAS CRACKED AND I HAVE YET TO REPLACE IT DUE TO COST.

TAKATA RECALL: IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED AND STILL GM HAS NO REMEDY.
DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED & IS NOW STARTING TO BREAK INTO PIECES, CAUSES RATTLING
AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON AS STAYED ON.
GOT IN MY VEHICLE TODAY AND CRANKED IT AND HEARD A NOISE, DIDN'T HEAR IT AGAIN, SO I BACKED UP AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND STARTED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, AND HEARD THIS RATTLING NOISE AND LOOKED UP AND MY DASHBOARD HAD CRACKED AND THE ENTIRE MIDDLE SECTION WAS MOVING UP AND DOWN AS THE VEHICLE MOVED.

GOT IN MY VEHICLE TODAY AND CRANKED IT AND HEARD A NOISE, DIDN'T HEAR IT AGAIN, SO I BACKED UP AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND STARTED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, AND HEARD THIS RATTLING NOISE AND LOOKED UP AND MY DASHBOARD HAD CRACKED AND THE ENTIRE MIDDLE SECTION WAS MOVING UP AND DOWN AS THE VEHICLE MOVED. I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO CHECK, AND YES HE SAID IT HAD CRACKED AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, COST APPROXIMATELY $800. I HAVE NOT HEARD OF A DASHBOARD ON A CAR CRACKING IN MANY YEARS. I THOUGHT TECHNOLOGY WAS TO A POINT THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ANY MORE. THEN I SEE ON LINE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE YUKON DENALI'S AND OTHER GM PRODUCTS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE A MATERIAL DEFECT TO ME. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS IT IS DISTRACTING, YOU ARE TRYING TO DRIVE AND YOU HEAR THIS SQUEAKING NOISE AND THE DASH IS MOVING UP AND DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES. ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
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.
DASH HAS 2 CRACKS. TOOK IT TO AN UPHOLSTERER LAST YEAR TO TRY TO STOP THE CRACK AND IT WORKED UNTIL NOW. THE CRACK IS AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SECOND CRACK IS AT THE AIR BAG INSET.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY INTERIOR DASH ON MY 2010 GMC YUKON DENALI THAT STARTED A CRACK AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES. IT HAS SINCE CRACKED IN OTHER PARTS OF THE DASH NOT CONNECTED TO THE FIRST CRACK.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY INTERIOR DASH ON MY 2010 GMC YUKON DENALI THAT STARTED A CRACK AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES. IT HAS SINCE CRACKED IN OTHER PARTS OF THE DASH NOT CONNECTED TO THE FIRST CRACK. THAT INITIAL CRACK HAS SIGNIFICANTLY GROWN SINCE IT ORIGINATED. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS CRACK, NOW ALMOST A HOLE, FROM TWO CRACK BEING NEXT TO EACH OTHER WILL IMPEDE OR CAUSE A "MISSILE" HAZARD SHOULD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG EVER BE DEPLOYED. IF PICTURES ARE NEEDED I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE THEM. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH GMC CARS, OR SPECIFIACLLY THIS TYPE OF CAR.
