2011 GMC Yukon Body & Structure Problems

DASH IS CRACKED NEXT TO THE AIR BAG TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD AND IS DROPPED DOWN. AFRAID IF IT KEEPS DROPPING DOWN OR IS BUMPED HARD WILL SET THE AIR BAG OFF. IF THE AIR BAG GOES OFF THE DASH COULD SHATTER CAUSING DAMAGE TO WHOEVER IS IN THE VEHICLE. AFRAID IT BEING NEXT TO THE AIR BAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED HE NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS FRACTURED IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

DASHBOARD CRACKING THROUGH OUT THE TOP OF THE WHOLE DASHBOARD INCLUDING SURROUNDING THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS IN MULTIPLE TRUCKS AT THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS SHOWN PROOF

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACK COMPLETELY AT THE AIRBAG AND OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SUV HAS DEVELOPED THESE CRACKS OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. CRACKS KEPT EXPANDING UNTIL TOTAL SEPARATION HAS OCCURRED IF LOOSE PIECES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR HATCH CAME DOWN WITH FORCE WITHOUT WARNING. THE LATCH BUTTON WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO PREVENT THE HATCH FROM COMING DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD IN THE VEHICLE HAD SUDDENLY CRACKED. ONE CRACK WAS ON THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE OTHER WAS LOCATED ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRACKS MAY INTERFERE WITH THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE CRACKS APPEARING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000.

DASHBOARD HAS TWO CREAKS AT PASSAGE AIR BAG. VEHICLE ALSO HAS TAKATA RECALL WITH NO RESOLUTION. I AM CONCERNED DASH MAY INJURE PASSAGE IF AIR BAG INFLATES. YUKON ALWAYS GARAGED, MILEAGE 38,000.

MY 2011 GMC YUKON XL DENALI, DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED OUT OF NOWHERE I GOT IN IT ONE DAY AND IT WAS THERE I NOTICED IT, UP THE DRIVER SIDE HUMP ON THE DASHBOARD, AND BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHAT IF I GET INTO A WRECK PIECES OF DASHBOARD WOULD GO FLYING EVERYWHERE, I HAVE EVEN CONTACTED GMC ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY DON'T CARE, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GLUE THE DASH BACK TOGETHER BUT IT'S STILL SPREADING, THE MORE I DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE MORE IT SPREADS.

THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG IS CRACKED. THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE DASHBOARD COULD BECOME A PROJECTILE DUE TO THE NUMEROUS CRACKS.

MY DASH KEEPS CRACKING ONE OF WHICH IS NEXT TO AIR BAG! 80K MILES

MY DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CRACKING WAS UNPROVOKED. THE CAR IS CLEAN, AND ONLY HAS 66K MILES ON IT. IN ADDITION, ONE OF THE CLIPS RECEPTICALS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE UPPER TRIM PANEL CONNECTS TO BROKE (IN THE CENTER PART OF THE DASHBOARD). NO IN ADDITION TO THE LARGE CRACK, THE DASH BOARD NOW RATTLES. I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES HANDY DURING THE TIME OF THIS SUBMITTER BUT I CAN PROVIDE THEM. 100'S OF OTHER HAVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM, THERE ARE FACEBOOK PAGES AND VARIOUS PERTITIONS.

CRACKED DASH - IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, BROKEN PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH WILL BECOME PROJECTILES IN THE PASSENGER AREA.

ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING, NOTICED CRACK IN DASH IN UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING IN MY GARAGE. VERY CONCERNED IF THIS WILL AFFECT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AIRBAG OR POSSIBLY CAUSE AN INJURY IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC YUKON. UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CRACKS EXPANDED OVER TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. UPDATED 02/22/2017*CT

MIDDLE OF DASHBOARD CRACKED AND COMING A PART. PIECES BEGINNING TO FALL OFF. FEAR THAT IF AIR BAGS WERE TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT - THE PIECES OF PLASTIC WOULD BECOME EMBEDDED IN THE BODY OF THOSE IN THE CAR.

THE DASH STARTED TO CRACK - I CHECKED WITH GM (SERVICE) - AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM - I SPOKE TO GM AND THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE (EVEN THOUGH THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE). GM WILL NOT SUPPORT ME ON THIS PROBLEM

I HAVE TWO CRACKS ON MY DASH ONE AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IT IS ABOUT ONE INCH LONG.THE OTHER CRACKS IS MUCH LONGER.IF IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE AREA THAT IS HUMPED UP AT THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR THE CRACKS WERE VERY SMALL THE ONE NEAR THE STEERING WHEEL JUST KEEPS GETTING BIGGER!

OUR DASHBOARD CRACKED ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR - THE LOCAL DEALER "REPAIRED" IT AND THE REPAIR LASTED ALL OF A DAY. THE CRACK GOT PROGRESSIVELY BIGGER AND GM REFUSED TO COVER ANY OF THE COST TO REPLACE, TELLING US OUR ONLY OPTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH AT A COST OF OVER $1200. WE HAVE HAD IT PATCHED BY A LOCAL REPAIR PLACE WHO DID A BETTER JOB THAN THE DEALER, BUT THE DASH STILL VIBRATES TO THE POINT OF SHAKING AND THE PATCH IS NOW COMING APART AGAIN. THE ACTUAL CRACK IS NOW OVER A 1/2" BIG. WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING AND THE SHARP PLASTIC CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY.

WE HAVE OWNED BOTH A 2007 GMC YUKON SLT AND A 2011 GMC YUKON XL DENALI. IN BOTH VEHICLES, WE HAVE STARTED THE CAR ON AN EXTREME WEATHER DAY (COLD IN THE 2007, HEAT IN THE 2011) AND HEARD A LOUD CRACK. AFTER INSPECTING THE DASHBOARD, THERE IS A LARGE CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. SINCE THEN, IT HAS EXPANDED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE AIRBAG. THE DASH WOBBLES WHERE IT IS CRACKED WHEN DRIVING AND MAKES SOME NOISE. IF WE WERE IN A WRECK, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PLASTIC WOULD CRACK WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND SEND SHRAPNEL THROUGH THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC YUKON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR HANDLE DETACHED FROM THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR HANDLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.
