2010 GMC Yukon Denali Body & structure Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY INTERIOR DASH ON MY 2010 GMC YUKON DENALI THAT STARTED A CRACK AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES. IT HAS SINCE CRACKED IN OTHER PARTS OF THE DASH NOT CONNECTED TO THE FIRST CRACK. THAT INITIAL CRACK HAS SIGNIFICANTLY GROWN SINCE IT ORIGINATED. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS CRACK, NOW ALMOST A HOLE, FROM TWO CRACK BEING NEXT TO EACH OTHER WILL IMPEDE OR CAUSE A "MISSILE" HAZARD SHOULD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG EVER BE DEPLOYED. IF PICTURES ARE NEEDED I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE THEM. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH GMC CARS, OR SPECIFIACLLY THIS TYPE OF CAR.

I BOUGHT A 2010 YUKON DENALI AND THE DASH STARTED CRACKING ALL THE WAY TO THE AIRBAG. IT STARTED AS ONE SMALL CRACK AND IS NOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE DASH AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. UPON INVESTIGATING IT I FOUND THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND OTHERS ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME DANGEROUS DEFECT IN YUKON AND TAHOE VEHICLES DATED 2007-2014 MODELS. GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS OR RECALL THIS. THIS COULD BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED AND THE DASH COMES OFF IN SEVERAL SHARP PIECES. ALSO, MY DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL COMING OFF AND THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES CHROME IS PEELING OFF AND CUTTING MY HAND. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BUT GM WILL NOT HELP ALL OF US WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE. A LAWYER IS WORKING TO MAKE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM BUT MOST ARE AFRAID THAT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN GOING UP AGAINST GM WHO HAS THE TIME AND MONEY TO JUST IGNORE THIS UNTIL SOMEONE IS SEVERELY HURT. A NEWLY DESIGNED DASH NEEDS TO BE MADE. OTHERS WHO HAVE GOT NEW DASHES HAVE HAD THEIR NEW DASHES CRACK AS WELL BECAUSE THE SAME DEFECTIVE DASH AS THE FIRST WAS RE-INSTALLED AND HAD THE SAME OUTCOME AS THE FIRST. *TR

NOTICED 2 HAIRLINE CRACKS/FRACTURE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL ON THE DASHBOARD. DASH NOW RATTLES. STEERING WHEEL ISSUE WAS RESOLVED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOT THESE DASHBOARD CRACKS. GOOGLE SEARCH SEEMS TO HAVE IDENTIFIED SAFTEY RECALLS WITH OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE THESE TYPES OF CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD, BUT NOT WITH THIS VIN. UNSURE WHETHER OR NOT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUES OR NOT AND DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS TO CLEARLY BE A DEFECTIVE ISSUE. AS OF TODAY, I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE OR NOT. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
