My dash has cracked and is causing my passage air bag to be lifted up. Very concerned that my passage will be injured in case of an accident. Another crack on drivers side.
Dashboard is cracked in two different locations which is not due to the age of the vehicle. I am among 6,172 members of a group with the exact same problem with the exact same crack in the exact same locations on our dashes. Many people have addressed this with GMC only to be turned away. Here is the link to this group. This will include all photos and correspondence with GMC. Please investigate. Https://www.facebook.com/groups/gmdashcrack/?fref=nf
Cracked dash by the passenger airbag, I also received a notification of a recall for airbags and a promise to notify when parts are available, I complained to GM and they responded that they will not replace cracked dash, I am a deployed military servicemember and do not have time for corporate greed, let GM know I will never buy any of their products again unless they can prove to me that their cars are safe!
Takata recall and dashboard cracked in many places and still developing new cracks. Can not find a dashboard replacement at all in the color needed. We received a notice dated July 2016 for airbag recall but not to bring it in until further notice. Still waiting. Also the dash is just getting more and more cracks even with a dashboard velour cover. Please help us.
The dash right above the passenger side airbag has cracked and now the dash right above the instrument panel on the driver side is cracking and is quite large there has not been a wreck or any kind of damage it is cracking completely on its own
Takata recall, cracks in the dash that run to the air bags on the dash. The center speaker is mounted to the plastic dash and move with the road vibration which breaks the dash along with the uv radiation that weakens the plastic.. the dash could splinter in a crash and wound or kill a passenger.
The dash board has a large crack that stretchs from the passenger air bag to the drivers side. I'm concerned that this can impact the function of the air bag system or cause harm to the passenger in the event of an accident.
The dash has completely cracked for a second time along the drivers side and around the airbag. This is a original GM $380 dash that was put in and has cracked again. It is unsafe if the airbag deploys it will push the broken plastic into the passenger causing bodily injury.
I am writing to inform a safety hazard issue with my 2007 GMC, Yukon. Over the past couple of years a crack has formed over the meter combo. Since that crack has formed, it has caused a piece of the dash to break out. The cracks in dash have also caused vibration of the dash and has caused two other cracks in the dash to appear around the passenger airbag. I am concerned in the event that an accident does occur that the dash will crumble/break in the driver/passenger face. This could cause very life threatening injuries. Please consider reporting this to GMC dealers for further investigation of these dashes and consider a recall.
There is cracks appearing on the dash all along the airbags housing compartment and part of the air bag is exposed. I'm very afraid that the airbag will go off while I'm driving because the dash is so cracked it's barely holding the bag in. I'm also worried it will affect the safety components and not work in an accident because of it being exposed to some elements due to the cracks. My vehicle has been garaged kept and always professionally maintained so it's not something we did or did not do I believe it's cheap material on the dash causing this to occur. Another big issue is the gas and brake pedal are adjustable and have completely come undone and fallen off the adjustable mechanism while I was driving. I called the company and she said someone would contact me soon and it's been a month I've yet to hear from them. It was a terrifying ordeal to be driving and all of a sudden you can't accelerate or brake. I was so scared for my children's safety as we were all in the car driving down the road when this happened.
Dashboard is cracked at both corners of the passenger air bag as well as over the steering wheel dash (plastic used to make these dashes is the cause of the cracking in 2007-2013 GM and Chevrolet trucks). I am extremely concerned that in the event of an accident; either the cracked plastic will cause the air bag to puncture (serious life safety concern) or the pieces of cracked plastic will be projectiles and possible be harmful to all passengers of the vehicle. Apparently GM has stated that the plastic used to make these dashboards is the cause of all of these cracks however they will not issue a recall. There are class action suits being looked into but the 2007 - 2009 vehicles are out of this group because of the bankruptcy that GM filed. I do not feel that the government bail out and bankruptcy should relieve them of the life safety issue these cracked dashes are causing. There is an entire face book page with 3,323 members that have been unable to get GM to replace their dashes. This is completely unacceptable. Someone must have to be killed in an accident before they will issue a recall.
Dash around airbag cracked and presents safety hazard from plastic shrapnel if airbag deploys also dash cracks around instrument panel can cause shrapnel to be launched into occupants causing bodily harm. Cracks happen while vehicle stationary
