The dashboard on our 2010 GMC yukon was cracking. While driving to pick up my daughter from school, the dashboard center section calapsed inside the dashboard. It was very alarming and is leaving the airbag case exposed.
Yo hiba manejando como a 25 millas en la ciudad Y cuando Y cuando fui hacer un U turn el steering wheel dejo de trabajar. SE puso duro Y solo SE mueve si lo manejo pero no puedo parquiarme porque esta muy duro el steering wheel. Lo lleve a un electronico Y me dijeron que la computadora no le da el code. Y el mechanico solo me dice que ES mejor cambiar el rock pinion electric pero no encuentro la piesa en ningun lado...
My dashboard has cracked and is now in many pieces. I know it is expensive to replace so I've glued and taped it together to the best of my ability. The dash rattles and shakes throughout any trip I take. I love my car! I want it to be 'healed'. it's very distracting to drive with your dash making all that noise. If I'm ever in an accident, even ever so small, I'm sure parts of that dash will go flying and hurt the driver and/or passenger. I also don't know how safely contained my dash-airbag is. My speaker and gps are also on that dash and are no longer installed where they should be causing more problems in their new locations which could result in something else not functioning like it was designed to be. I take care of my vehicles with regular tuneups and replacements where needed. This is beyond my control and is a serious flaw in this vehicle.

Upper dash around passenger airbag is cracked, apparently from online information a common and wide spread problem. Crack in dash is a safety concern if airbag deploys. Possible fragments from dash will injure passengers or others in vehicle should airbag deploy
Cracking has begun on the dash of my Yukon. This seems to be a common problem with these vehicles. Although not as bad as I have seen it on other people's vehicles, the problem will eventually morph into a major safety issue.
Dashboard has two large cracks in it, affecting the area around the airbag. Additionally, it rattles, causing the cracks to grow. It has been repaired by the dealer twice without success.
The dash board began cracking after one year and is now cracked, in multiple places, from side to side. The crack on the passenger side has surrounded the air bag and continues down to the bottom of the glove compartment. The integrity of the front passenger airbag has been completely comprimised.
Dash is cracking in two places and near the air bag compartment. No trauma caused the cracking and no armor all or like products have ever been used on the vehicle in any area
Takata recall - not only am I under the recall for my airbags that the dealer tells me that there is not a fix for yet on my car, but now I walk in to the garage today and my dash board has cracked around the airbag and up over the drivers side controls. How dangerous is this now that the dash has cracked, I have a crap air bag and now I'm seriously thinking my family is at risk on this should we get into an accident. That dash will break into several pieces should something happen and cause more injury.... GM needs to fix both these issues asap..... a recall is a must!!
I have already written a complaint last year with no response. Since my complaint of the crack I have on the driver side it is now a hole. It is exposing all dash wires and is very, very sharp. This is very hazardous as the temps outside can melt the wires and the dash can cut your hand!!! this is ridiculous that GMC made plastic dash's to hold up in all temp's when we all know that's not possible. The hole is very visible and is more than 4 inches wide!!!
