THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI IS HAS BEGIN TO CRACK FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO JUST IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS STARTING TO SPREAD TWO WAYS. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIR BAGS DOESN'T DEPLOY PROPERLY BECAUSE OF THE BROKEN STRUCTURE OF THE DASHBOARD. IS THERE A VOLUNTARY GM RECALL OR A NHTSA RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND THE CRACK SPREADS AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN.
DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG ON ITS OWN. FEEL THIS MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD.

DASH BOARD CRACKING OVER PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE
MY 4 YEAR OLD DENALI HAS A CRACKED DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON BUT GMC WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REPAIR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DASHBOARD WILL CUT PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAG GOES OFF. THE CAR ONLY HAS 54000 MILES
WE HAVE ONLY PERSONALLY OWNED OUR 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI SINCE OCTOBER 2016 AND LOOKED AT IT AS A LUXURY VEHICLE WHICH IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH. THIS VEHICLE ALWAYS HAS A UV PROTECTION VISOR UP WHEN NOT GARAGED AND THERE IS A HUGE CRACK ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH IS VERY CONCERNING. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND WITH FLIMSY INTERI…

WE HAVE ONLY PERSONALLY OWNED OUR 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI SINCE OCTOBER 2016 AND LOOKED AT IT AS A LUXURY VEHICLE WHICH IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH. THIS VEHICLE ALWAYS HAS A UV PROTECTION VISOR UP WHEN NOT GARAGED AND THERE IS A HUGE CRACK ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH IS VERY CONCERNING. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND WITH FLIMSY INTERIOR LIKE THIS, GMC HAS NO BUSINESS CHARGING THE PRICES THAT THEY DO FOR THEIR CARS. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND WE EVEN BOUGHT INTO AN EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING WILL NOT COVER IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT GM'S INTERIOR IS CHEAPLY MADE AND THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO HONOR THEIR VEHICLES WHEN THEY FALL APART. I TRADED IN A DODGE RAM THAT HAD IMMACULATE INTERIOR THAT NEVER CRACKED AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS FALLING APART.
