We have 3 gm suburban and gmc yukons that all have cracked dashes. i find it hard to believe that all 3 of ours have cracked dashes. there has got to be a problem with the dash board and gm needs to step up and do something about this before some one gets hurts. the dash boards all cracked about 10 months ago .

I've received letters from the gmc dealership that my vehicle needs a recall with a dangerous takata airbag, but there is no part available yet. it has been over 2 years since i was first notified of this issue. i live in a hot and humid area (hawaii), which is supposedly worse for the issue with the airbag. i am concerned for the safety of my family which driving this vehicle. the vehicle is almost 11 years old, i feel the auto maker is trying to buy time until the engine goes out possibly. i plan on keeping this vehicle for another 10 years at least, replacing the engine if need be. i would like some help getting this issue resolved, and in the meantime will try to get approved for an on/off switch for the affected airbag. it also seems strange that only one side would be affected, as the explosive propellant causing the issue would no doubtedly be on both sides.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 gmc yukon. after starting the engine and shutting the driver side door, both the passenger and driver side curtain air bags inadvertently deployed. the vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 163,000.

Dash has started cracking around passenger side air bag. if in an accident and the air bag is deployed i fear that myself and my passengers may be affected or harmed by the debris due to the compromised structure or the dash board. currently in contact with gmc via twitter to seek resolution. vehicle is stored in a covered parking garage not effected by sunlight.

2008 yukon dash beginning to crack over instrument panel and in corner of passenger airbag.worried that this may have an effect on my airbag operation.have been trying to get it repaired but all dealerships say the are always backordered.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 gmc yukon. while in park, all the curtain air bags in the vehicle inadvertently deployed. the dealer diagnosed that the headliners, air bags, and pillars on the side of the vehicle needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 68,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 gmc yukon. while driving at approximately 25 mph and approaching a stop sign, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle did not stop. the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle did not accelerate. another vehicle crashed into the front passenger of the contact's vehicle. the air bags did not deploy. the contact suffered a concussion and the pregnant front passenger sustained back injuries and received medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Vehicle dashboard cracking around passenger side airbag. concerned over the possibility of the fracture splintering if the airbag were to deploy and puncturing the airbag and/or sending pieces of hard plastic into the face of passenger and/or other occupants.

Cracks in dash in multiple places. if air bags deploy, possible shards of dash could injure the passenger or driver.

Cruise control stopped working and the dashboard is cracking is two different areas

The top of the dashboard is cracked around the passenger side airbag. i am concerned about the possibility of loose dashboard pieces becoming projectiles upon airbag deployment.

My family's 2008 gmc yukon has a cracking dashboard cover. this problem started earlier around 100,000 miles but now there is one large crack and one smaller crack above the portion of the dashboard where the instrument cluster is located. i am concerned that eventually this whole portion of the dashboard cover may crack and fall into the dashboard which could possibly affect electrical components located within the dashboard. also i have noticed some signs of a crack forming next to the passenger side airbag cover. at any point while driving the vehicle i can hear the dashboard cracking and popping loudly. *tr

Cracked dashboard in 2 places. including a crack into the passenger side airbag. i'm very concerned due to having two 2 year olds in my car. the cracks began approximately 2 years ago. our yukon has regular maintenence and garage kept. i am very concerned this will cause my airbags to potentially engage!

Cracking of dash around the front left portion of passenger airbag, identical to thousands of other people who have same exact cracking. cracking now spreading. this is a garage kept vehicle, purchased new by me.

The upper dashboard keeps developing cracks in the plastic around the passenger side airbag. i see this as a safety issue. if the airbags were to deploy, i don't know how much additional damage to the passenger due to broken pieces of plastic dashboard flying at the passenger. *tr

Gm recalled vehicles for air bag problems model years 08-13. my yukon is an 08 however, not recalled as well?? i'm not sure what gm is trying to pull. i thought they were turning a leaf here by recalling all vehicles with potential major safety issues. apparently not. *tr
