Cracked dash, I believe it's a safety issue. if I were involved in an accident I feel it would cause shrapnel to be fly everywhere. Very sharp plastic would fly as any passenger especially if the faulty air bags went off.

I bought my 2010 yukon denali used from a local used car dealership in birmingham, al. when I purchased the vehicle the dash looked to be fine. early in the summer I began to have cracking right above the instrument panel and quickly soon after noticed a lot of cracking around the airbags. this makes me very nervous if I were to be in an accident; what would happen with the dash pieces? they would become projectiles. after researching the internet it became apparent that this a known issue with several of the GMC family of suvs for about a 5 year period. gm has even changed the design of the replacements due to the cheap workmanship of the original product. this should be recalled as a safety hazard.

Driving back from a local ski area to home, the dash cracked right in front of my eyes. the temperature was a low of 30 degrees that day and we turned the defroster on to about 69, not liking the car hot. it goes right into the passenger airbag storage which makes me wonder if the dash will explode if the airbag deploys or it could pop the airbag before or during it's use.

2010 yukon denali has 87,000 well below the average and two cracks formed. One on the cluster side the other on the passenger side next to the air bag. This could potentially be a safety hazard in the event of a crash the air bag deploying and send parts of the dash out towards the occupants. My vehicle stays in the garage when not in use and also have the sun shade for it.

As we are driving down the interstate our yukon loses all power, engine turns off, stability control message comes up, tire pressure sensor message comes up. We pulled over to the side of the road and try refiring the engine. It feels like the engine IS about to jump out from under the hood. We turn it off and wait about 5 minutes. Start the engine back up after waiting and it drives ok, but engine light IS on. This has happened to us twice in two days time.

Dashboard IS cracked badly on drivers side and passenger side. if air bag deploys the plastic will be shattered and blown across the cab. It will eventually fall apart altogether and make any sudden movement of he car a risky proposition with the dashboard falling into the drivers lap and distracting him from driving. It IS a support problem that has allowed normal vibrations due to driving to crack the plastic through fatigue stress.

1. Cracked dashboard - cracked dashboard - dashboard IS deteriorating. Numerous cracks. Vehicle IS parked in the shade 90% of the time and after 30,000 miles on it. It has never been in any accident. There IS a dashboard crack next to the airbag on the dashboard. My concern IS with the takata inflators and potential shrapnel produced from the rotting dashboard becoming airborne during an accident. There IS a website that shows the majority of these gm dashboards are defective and falling apart beyond cosmetic appearance. What kind of safety testing has been done in relation to cracked dashboards causing injuries? 2. Takata recall - there should be a solution to the takata inflator issue and a recall on gm cracked plastic dashboards. It IS past august of 2017 and I have heard nothing regarding the airbag issue solution. (Was told by the dealer - oursiman of alexandria, va ) that no soultion IS availe for the airbag.i no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. 3. Transmission cooler lines - lines have been leaking for years. specifically called out in the warranty coverage as not covered???it's a known issue with all yukon and other vechicles
