I love my truck. The only thing that is unsatisfying is my cracked dash from the left side to the right of the truck. The air bag light flashes due to the sides wall and dash board air bag is coming out.I would hate to hit a squirrel and it the air bag pops. I have one window that refuses to come down and last but not least, the dang cruise control only sets after 80mph. I hve to pray everyday not to get a speeding ticket in low speeding areas and the dash board with the sharp edges will not cause more injuries than the airbag if I'm ever in an accident. Please come to some type of agreement foe a recall to fix this matter. Pretty truck outside but the inside clean, crack, and broke up as is it was a fight inside.help help help bring it back to life

We have 3 GM Suburban and GMC Yukon that all have cracked dashes. I find it hard to believe that all 3 of ours have cracked dashes. There has got to be a problem with the dash board and GM needs to step up and do something about this before some one gets hurts. The dash boards all cracked about 10 months ago.

Takata recall notice received July 2016 and it has not been remedied. I do not want to wait until myself or someone in my car is killed in an accident before someone does something about this. It is now January 2017, and a delay in repairing this issue is unacceptable. Either replace the air bag or replace the vehicle with an equivalent.

2008 Yukon 5 cracks across the entire dashboard within 30 days, 3 cracks have formed in 72 hours. One crack appeared while I was at work, in the span of 3 hours. This truck has been regularly maintained and kept in a garage for majority of its life. The cracks are forming so fast that pieces will begin shattering and falling inside. Two cracks have formed next to the passenger side airbag, that has takata inflators- exciting times! my dealership has informed me that GMC will not compensate or assist in remedying this issue- but the dealer will be happy to replace the dash for $1300.
