OUR 2013 DENALI WHICH WE PURCHASED NEW IN 2014 HAS HAD A CRACKED DASHBOARD ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR MORE THAN A YEAR (~2 YEARS OLD). THE INTEGRITY OF THE DASH AND AIRBAG ARE PROBLEMATIC. THERE IS NO TANGIBLE SUPPORT UNDER THE DASH -- DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S PLASTIC!!! THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION, JUST HAPPENED ONE DAY WHEN IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. YESTERDAY THE OUTSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF --- AGAIN, PLASTIC PARTS INSTEAD OF METAL. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, THAT PASSENGER MIGHT NOT HAVE AN AIRBAG PROPERLY DEPLOYED AND NOBODY COULD OPEN THAT DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE TO RESCUE THEM!

CRACK IN DASHBOARD CONNECTED TO AIR BAG AREA

Structure
THE DASHBOARD HAS MANY CRACKS AND HAS SEPARATED IN TWO LOCATIONS NEXT TO THE AIRBAG! THE VEHICLE IS KEPT IN A GARAGE, WELL MAINTAINED WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. MY FEAR IS IF, THERE IS A FRONT-END COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, CHUNKS OF THE DASH WILL BECOME DISLODGED AND POSSIBLY CAUSE MORE INJURIES.

Air Bags
THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS CRACKED AND THE PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD IS FALLING DOWN AWAY FROM THE AIRBAG. I FEEL THAT THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THIS AND WORRY ABOUT PIECES OF THE BROKEN DASHBOARD FLYING INTO MINE OR MY CHILDREN'S FACES IF THE AIRBAG EVER HAS TO INFLATE.

CRACKS ON DASHBOARD. MINE HAPPENS TO BE NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SLOT. THIS IS OCCURRING TO MANY SIMILAR GM VEHICLES. DOING A WEB SEARCH SHOWS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS WAS NOTICED A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN IT WAS NOTICED. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS.

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED OVER THE STEERING COLUMN. I UNDERSTAND THIS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND GM WILL NOT HONOR THE REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DASH. I WOULD LIKE TO ISSUE A FORMAL COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THIS PRODUCT. A FORMAL INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE REQUIRED CONCERNING THIS DEFECT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND JOINED A GROUP OF APPROXIMATELY 6,000 OTHER PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK WHO HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR DASHBOARDS. M. I HAVE ALSO TALKED TO DEALERSHIPS WHICH HAVE INFORMED ME THAT GM WOULD NOT HONOR THEIR DASH AND IF I REPLACED THE DASH THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN DUE TO POOR DESIGN. AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A FORMAL INVESTIGATION INTO WHY THIS DESIGN IS DEFECTIVE. AS A CONSUMER, WE PAY A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES AND EXPECT TO HAVE A QUALITY PRODUCT.

I PURCHASED NEW, TWO, GMC YUKON DENALIS IN 2007, 2013. BOTH DASH BOARDS ARE CRACKING AND POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. I USE THESE VEHICLES FOR PLEASURE "ON ROAD" ONLY USE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THE 2007 TO COLLEGE NOW AND HER DASH BOARD IS CRACKED FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND FLAPS AROUND WHILE DRIVING/OPERATING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD, THIS IS A HUGH DISTRACTION. THE DEALER, THAT I PURCHASED THE TWO NEW VEHICLES FROM CLAIMS THAT IT IS NOT THERE PROBLEM AND BLAME GMC, WHO WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE ON EITHER VEHICLE. I STILL OWN AND DRIVE BOTH VEHICLES TODAY AND AM BUILDING A CASE FOR WHEN SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THE LARGE DASH CRACKS FLAPPING AROUND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WELCOME ANY ASSISTANCE FROM GMC OR MY GMC DEALER TO ADRESS THIS KNOWN DASH CRACKING ISSUE ANYTIME? I ALSO WELCOME NHTSA TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND RESPOND BACK TO A SOLUTION OTHER THAN THE $1,000.00 DEALER SOLUTION FOR ME TO FIX THIS ON MY OWN. THANK YOU
