HEY ANDY I HAVE A 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. I GOT IT OCTOBER 2014, AND WILL HAVE OWNED IT THREE (3) YEARS THIS OCTOBER. AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES, I DISCOVERED A CRACK ON MY DASH NEAR THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I PUT IN A COMPLAINT AND THEY (GMC) TOLD ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL DEALER SHIP AND THEY WOULD SALE ME THE DASH AT COST, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR. THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE ABOUT $800.00. I TOLD THEM THE TRUCK IS JUST A FEW THOUSAND MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY RESPONSI…

MY 2013 YUKON DENALI XL HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK ON THE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IT HAPPENED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE ENTIRE DASH IS NOW VERY LOOSE FROM DRIVERS SIDE TO PASSENGERS SIDE AND IT VIBRATES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING BOUNCING UP AND DOWN THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE DASH. IN ADDITION TO BEING QUITE LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS, IT IS UNNERVING TO THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I AM IN A COLLISION AS THE CRACK IS MAKING THE PLASTIC DASH BEGIN TO APPEAR LIKE A SPEAR TIP POINTED AT ME. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN A VEHICLE OF THIS CAL…

A CRACK FORMED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT EXTENDING TO THE CENTER DASH VENT WITHOUT CAUSE OR INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN MY GARAGE AT THE TIME THE CRACK OCCURRED. THE DASH NOW RATTLES AND SQUEAKS AND SAGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH.

Owner report 11035911 · 2017-10-23 (October 23, 2017)
DASH STARTED TO HAVE TWO CRACKS, ONE ON EACH SIDE OF DASH. EACH CRACK HAS CONTINUED TO RUN. THE ONE ON THE LEFT HAS NOW EXTENDED TO AREA OVER THE SPEEDOMETER DOME, THE OTHER CRACK HAS EXTENDED INTO THE SEAM OF THE AIRBAG ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH. VERY CONCERNED THAT AIRBAG COMPARTMENT IS COMPROMISED. THESE CRACKS WERE NOT CAUSED BY ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. THE CAR SITS UNDER CARPORT 90% OF THE TIME. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF GMC OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I AM WORRIED THAT MY SPOUSE, GRANDCHILDREN, OR ANY OTHER FRON…
