2011 GMC Yukon Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Dash is cracking badly on its own. Is cracking also where airbag is held. Pieces can fly as projectiles and cause bodily harm when airbag deploys.

When attempting to install car seats on the 3rd row, the seat belts do not remain locked after pulled all the way out. Pulling all the way out should activate the ALR, but it does not. I am unable to seat belt install on my 3rd row which is required when a child is over 40lbs.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 GMC YUKON FROM MY PARENTS. THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. THIS VEHICLE WAS KEPT UNDER THIER CARPORT AND NOT IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. THE DASHBOARD HAS MULITPLE CRACKS. MOST CONCERNING IS THE CRACKS NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. WHAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, THE DASHBOARD COULD BECOME SHRAPNEL IMPALING MYSELF OR MY PASSENGER. ALSO THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD COULD SPLINTER AND PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG MAKING THEM INEFFECTIVE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND EVEN LAWSUITS. I AM APPALLED TO KNOW YOU AND GMC ARE AWARE OF THE RISKS OF THE CRACKED DASHBOARD CAUSING GREAT BODILY HARM OR DEATH. YOU AND GMC HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2002 HONDA ACCORD THAT SITS IN THE SUN AND THE DASHBOARD IS IN PERFECT CONDITION.

THE DASHBOARD HAS SEVERELY CRACKED AND COULD CAUSE HARMFUL PLASTIC TO SHOOT TOWARDS PASSENGER IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE INTERIOR TO MAKE LOUD DASH SOUNDS WHILE DRIVING AFFECTING THE EXPERIENCE OF THE DRIVE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE CONTACT STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED YATES BUICK GMC 13845 W TEST DR, GOODYEAR, AZ 85338 (480) 795-7563 WHO STATED THE REMEDY PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED IN TWO LOCATIONS AFTER SITTING IN OUR GARAGE. A 6" CRACK HAS NO FORMED OVER THE CURVED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY ON DRIVER SIDE AND A 1" CRACK HAS OCCURRED NEAR THE AIR BAG COVER CORNER ON PASSENGER SIDE. THESE CRACKS ARE SIMILAR IN LOCATION AND SIZE TO OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON GMC YUKONS. STARTED NOTICING THE CRACK IN AUGUST OF 2020. I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

DASHBOARD CRACKED ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER AIRBAG. *TR

As per Tread Act that confirms reimbursement for recalled items, I replaced the Takata airbag on 09/18/2019 after a recall issue by NHTSA, but prior to GMC manufacture initiating the repair. General Motors refused to reimburse the cost of the replacement of the airbag. Under Tread Act the manufacturer is required to reimburse any repair prior to actual recall.

A CRACK APPEARED ON THE FRONT DASH NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND CRACKED OVERNIGHT. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG WORKING PROPERLY.

MY YUKON'S DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, SOME EXTENDING 14 INCHES INTERFERING WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. THE SECOND LARGE CRACK IS LOCATED ABOVE AND BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE DASHBOARD AS WELL. NOTHING WAS DROPPED OR ANYWAY I OR MY FAMILY CRACKED IT. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD OWN THIS DEFECT AND PROTECT ITS LOYAL DRIVERS AND CONSUMERS, RATHER THAN WAIT AND SEE IF AN AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY PROPERLY, GOD FORBID, RISKING THE LIVES OF INNOCENTS. I SERVED MY COUNTRY IN IRAQ BECAUSE I CHOSE TO, GM CAN CHOOSE TO DEFEND ITS CONSUMERS AS WELL. EVEN A DISCOUNT ON REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WOULD BE APPRECIATED AS I KNOW PEOPLE JUST EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE GIVEN TO THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT AS YET INVOLVING THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, FOR EIGHT YEARS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOCATED IN A GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPS WHICH IS A FACTOR OF INSTABILITY WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. WE HAVE TRIED, UNSUCCESSFULLY, TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED BY OUR LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP.WE ARE FILING THIS COMPLAINT IN THE HOPE OF GETTING NHTSA TO ORDER GM TO DO THE RESPONSIBLE ACT OF REPLACING AIRBAGS IN AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE ANY MORE INJURIES HAPPEN.

CRACK IN DASHBOARD ON TOP OF AIRBAG

"TAKATA RECALL" DASHBOARD IS CRACKED NEAR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND OVER THE THE STEERING WHEEL.

MY DASH HAS BEEN SLOWLY CRACKING, THE CRACK IS NOW IN TWO PLACES, BY THE AIR BAG AND STEERING WHEEL AND HAS COMPLETELY RELEASED SO IT VIBRATES THE WHOLE TIME I'M DRIVING. JUST THIS WEEK THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOW COMING ON TOO.

DASH BOARD PANEL HAS CRACKED OPEN FOR UNKNOWN REASONS CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN WITH SHARP EDGES AND OPENINGS THAT ALLOW OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOREIGN OBJECTS/ITEMS TO ENTER VEHICLE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTATION PANELS. PASSENGER AIR BAG AT DASH BOARD SEEMS DEFECTIVE DUE TO CRACKED DASH BOARD PANELS AND ASSOCIATED TRIM PIECES. IT APPEARS THAN UPON AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT THERE WOULD BE POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL OCCUPANT/PASSENGER INJURIES DUE TO THE BROKEN/LOOSE FITTING/SUB-STANDARD DASH BOARD PLASTIC PIECES.
