I came out to a cracked dashboard this morning. The crack is right around the airbag and I'm concerned the cracked dash can either punture the airbag if deployed or send plastic peices flying at a high rate of speed
Dashboard has cracked immediately adjacent to airbag and above left side of instrument cluster. Concern for safety upon collision and/or airbag deployment.
Dashboard above instrument cluster cracked without incident. Just noticed one day there was a large crack and not aware of how it could have happened since it was not in any accidents. Concerned that the sharp pieces could injure passengers in an accident. Also concerned the air bags could be affected.
Dashboard developed cracks along the corners of the passenger airbags, then another crack appeared over the driver's side hood of the instrument panel.

Our 2009 GMC Yukon dashboard has cracks near the airbag mechanism that could lead to injuries related to shrapnel should my family be involved in an accident. Evidently GMC is not accepting responsibility for the replacement of the dashboard and instead making the customer responsible for replacement costs.
The contact owns a 2009 GMC Yukon. The contact stated the dashboard was cracked near the passenger side air bag, by the front windshield, and over the steering column. The contact stated the cracks were extremely severe and getting worst. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 96,000.
The door handles on both the driver and passenger side have become so sharp that when trying to open the door they cut your finger. Both my wife and I have had our fingers cut from slight to very bloody. This appears that it is an ongoing problem that GM refuses to deal with.
