As you're already aware of from several previous complaints, the dash board in our vehicle is cracked over the instrument panel, and is also cracked in the middle of the dash. It is spreading over the entire dash and compromised the airbag system, which is truly a hazard. I'm afraid to drive it. And, this is not a result of heat cracking the dashboard B/C we keep our car in the garage and hardly drive it during the week! this is definitely a defect with GMC and I don't know why they won't recall it!! even Toyota has the same issue, except they offered a recall and allowed owners the opportunity to get the issue fixed. This is truly a safety hazard and I'm so disappointed in GMC. Cheap and won't fix their manufacture mistake!!!
Dashboard on drivers side and dashboard above the airbag on passenger side are both cracked in two separate places without any applied pressure or exposure to harsh conditions. Cracks continue to increase/lengthen when driven I.e. across tracks, bumps or on smooth surface roads.
On 12/27/18, I heard an excessive rattling noise coming from the dash. When I parked the car, and the vehicle was stationary, I leaned forward to see if there was something on the dash, and noticed the dash had cracked over the driver's side instrument panel / airbag. The dash also cracked over the left side above the glove box/airbag area. The crack was the source of the rattling. This vehicle is parked in a garage and has not been exposed to excessive sunlight. Nor has the vehicle ever been in an accident.

Vehicle dashboard cracked all across. Vehicle always parked in garage. Never in accident. Noticed summer of 2018. Reported to dealership. In process of trying to get covered under my extended warranty. This problem should be a recall after reading all of the complaints.
The dashboard has cracked in several places that appear to be in danger of projecting shards of hard plastic when the airbags deploy. These cracks began on their own and not as a result of abuse or accident.
Very large crack in the dashboard extending from passenger side air bag to the instrument panel. This is defect in design/construction and will affect passenger air bag effectiveness and safety of occupants if pieces of the dash are projected outwards at a high rate of speed. This is unacceptable. GMC needs to initiate a voluntary recall immediately.
Multiple cracks in the dash, including one by the passenger airbag; truck has been garage kept for entire life, so it is not from sun damage. There are many complaints of the same issue online, and every time I ride in a lyft or uber Yukon or Tahoe that is a 2007-2014 model, I see the same cracks - this issue is prolific.
My dashboard is cracked on the driver side. This happened recently, although there is evidence of a repair of another crack by the passenger airbag before I bought it.
Dash cracking over instrument panel and over passenger side airbag; concerned of the safety for passenger given the defect of the dash housing the passenger airbag
Dash severely cracking. Has not been involved in any accidents it just started on it's own and is gradually getting worse. I notice it more and more every time I get in my truck. I noticed it probably sometime last year. There is also a facebook group with so many other people this is happening too. I think GMC is using cheap defective materials! https://M.facebook.com/groups/251892298253/
The dash above the instrument panel is severely cracked and without any reason. There is also another crack in the center area. If air bag deployed not sure what could happen. Car has always been kept out of extreme weather in a garage. I have owned other GMC Yukon and have never had this problem before.
Dashboard cracked 2 years after purchased. Replaced by local dealership then cracked again 2 years later out of warranty. Apparently the in stock replacements were of the same defective design as originals.
1) dashboard is cracking on the drivers side. The crack has progressed directly over the arched area of the dashboard over the instrument panel. The crack has progressed to the point that the dashboard is flapping where the crack is located. 2) two of my tires are losing air pressure due to corrosion problems with the chrome rims/wheels. One of the rims has a 2 inch crack in the chrome finish.
