NHTSA Complaint #10824497 — 2007 GMC YUKON

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT BOTH CORNERS OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AS WELL AS OVER THE STEERING WHEEL DASH (PLASTIC USED TO MAKE THESE DASHES IS THE CAUSE OF THE CRACKING IN 2007-2013 GM AND CHEVROLET TRUCKS). I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT; EITHER THE CRACKED PLASTIC WILL CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO PUNCTURE (SERIOUS LIFE SAFETY CONCERN) OR THE PIECES OF CRACKED PLASTIC WILL BE PROJECTILES AND POSSIBLE BE HARMFUL TO ALL PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY GM HAS STATED THAT THE PLASTIC USED TO MAKE THESE DASHBOARDS IS THE CAUSE OF ALL OF THESE CRACKS HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THERE ARE CLASS ACTION SUITS BEING LOOKED INTO BUT THE 2007 - 2009 VEHICLES ARE OUT OF THIS GROUP BECAUSE OF THE BANKRUPTCY THAT GM FILED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE GOVERNMENT BAIL OUT AND BANKRUPTCY SHOULD RELIEVE THEM OF THE LIFE SAFETY ISSUE THESE CRACKED DASHES ARE CAUSING. THERE IS AN ENTIRE FACE BOOK PAGE WITH 3,323 MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET GM TO REPLACE THEIR DASHES. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. SOMEONE MUST HAVE TO BE KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THEY WILL ISSUE A RECALL.
