ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING, NOTICED CRACK IN DASH IN UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING IN MY GARAGE. VERY CONCERNED IF THIS WILL AFFECT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AIRBAG OR POSSIBLY CAUSE AN INJURY IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT.

AT 50K MILES A CRACK IN THE DASH HAD BEGUN. NOW AT 80K THERE IS A CRACK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VENT IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH. ON ONE SIDE, IT HAD 2 CRACKS AND NOW THERE IS A LARGE TRIANGLE SHAPE PIECE MISSING. NO WAY TO KNOW WHERE THAT PIECE WENT AND IF IT WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS DOWN IN THE DASH. VERY DISAPPOINTING GIVEN THE PRICE OF THIS VEHICLE MANY AND GMC ISN'T WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

IN APRIL 2016 WHILE IN MOTION MY SIGHT WAS DRAWN AWAY FROM THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC BY A RESONANTING "FLAPPING" OF THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD ASSEMBLY. WHEN I LATER STOPPED I FOUND A SEVERE FRACTURE IN THE COMPOSITE MATERIAL TO THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE AIR BAG RESERVOIR (?). I HAVE THE VEHICLE AT A GM DEALER NOW AS DRIVING THE UNIT WITH A PULSATING DASHBOARD WAS A VERY ADVERSE DISTRACTION. WHILE GM APPEARS TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PRODUCT FAULT EXISTS, I STILL HAVE TO PAY OVER $300 TOWARD REPLACING THE DASHBOARD UNIT.

MY 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED DIRECTLY OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF TAHOE'S, YUKONS, AND ESCALADE'S ARE HAVING. D ' LITERALLY CRACKED DOWN THE MIDDLE OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BY NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I DID NOT MISS USE NOR BANG THE DASHBOARD IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE. I JUST HAD TO PAY ALMOST $400 TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THIS IS A $60,000 VEHICLE I PURCHASED JUST A FEW SHORT YEARS AGO. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND SHOULD BE A RECALL IF IT'S WIDELY AFFECTED THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS. *TR
