This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Dash board cracked above instrument panel and around the passenger side airbag, the vehicle was not moving when crack happened, parked it, when I came back out to drive it had big crack above the instrument panel and small cracks around passengers airbag.
Cracked dashboard on both drivers and passengers side. Cracks may impede proper airbag deployment and/or send dashboard fragments into passenger compartment during airbag deployment.
There are two cracks on dash located on both sides just above passenger airbag. I am worried about plastic projectiles if involved in an accident. I am aware of several thousand other complaints of the exact same nature. I had spoke to faulkner GMC trevose about this issue.they did inform me they were aware of the problem and that they had several other complaints but refused to help due to the expiration of my bumper to bumper warranty. There was no trauma to vehicle. Dashboard is just cracking. The vehicle is exceptionally taken care of and garage kept.
The dashboard is cracked in three different places. The first cracked happened at about 24,000 miles right above the steering well. The second crack is on the passenger side leading up to the passenger airbag. That happened at about 50,000 miles. The third crack is in front of the steering wheel it travels upward to meet the first crack making it into a Y shaped. This happened at about 55,000 miles. The car is parked in a garage most of the time. The passenger side seat belt buckle in the middle row and the middle seat belt buckle in the third row both fell apart making the buckles unusable.
Large cracks in the dashboard formed around passenger airbag as well as above instrument cluster. Loss of dashboard integrity in the event of airbag deployment seems highly probable.
The plastic dash on my Yukon is cracking around the passenger airbag and in front of the instrument cluster on the driver's side. Seems like if the passenger airbag were to go off that it would propel pieces of this broken plastic dash.
