2009 GMC YUKON DENALI Structure Problems

THE PROBLEM ON MY 2009 YUKON, IN LESS THEN 2 WEEKS MY DASHBOARD CRACKED IN 3 PLACES. 2 BY THE AIR BAGS AND 1 BY THE STEERING COLUMN. I'M THINKING THE ONES BY THE AIR BAGS ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM. IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAPPEN TO GO OFF , WITH THE CRACKED DASHBOARD. WILL THE DASH EXPLODE IN TO PIECES, LIKE SHRAPNEL. CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO HUMAN LIFE? THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT STAYS UNDER A BREEZEWAY WHEN NOT IN USE. WE WHERE DRIVING AN HERD A POP IN THE DASH. THEN THE NEXT THING WE KNOW WE HAVE 3 CRACKS. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.. *TR

A CRACK HAD APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD GOING TO THE DIRECTION OF THE AIRBAG. I HAD ATTEMPTED TO CONSULT WITH THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP THAT STATED IT'S NO THREAT AND BASICALLY SENT ME ON MY WAY. IT'S BEEN A YEAR LATER AND NOW NOT ONLY HAS IT CRACKED IN THAT ONE AREA BUT I HAVE 2 ADDITIONAL CRACKS AND THE DASH HAS SEPARATED APPROX. 1/2" AT THE AIRBAG. IT SERIOUSLY CONCERNS ME CONSIDERING I HAVE CUSTODY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN (11 & 9) WHO ARE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE 99.5% OF THE TIME. I'M DEATHLY AFRAID THE AIRBAG IS EITHER GOING TO DEPLOY ON ITS OWN OR WORSE NOT DEPLOY IF/WHEN IT'S NEEDED. *TR

WHEN NOT IN USE MY AUTO IS STORED INSIDE AN ATTACHED GARAGE. ONE MORNING WHEN I ENTER THE VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK I NOTICE A CRACK ON THE DASH ABOVE THE GLOVE BOX. IT WAS NOT THERE THE DAY BEFORE. NO ONE HAD BEEN IN THE VEHICLE EXCEPT ME AND THAT WAS THE DAY BEFORE TO DRIVE TO WORK AND TO DRIVE HOME. IT SAT IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT AND THE CRACK WAS NOTICED THE NEXT MORNING. *TR

THE DASH WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CRACKED. WHEN I WAS SEARCHING TO FIND A REPAIR SHOP NEAR ME, I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL BLOGS (HTTP://REPAIRPAL.COM/THE-UPPER-DASH-MAY-CRACK-554 AND HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/GMC/YUKON/2009/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/CRACKED_DASHBOARD.SHTML) MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT CRACKS. WHEN I CALLED GMC THEY EXPLAINED ANY RECALL HAS TO BE PROCESSED THROUGH THIS ASSOCIATION, WHICH I CERTAINLY WASN'T AWARE OF, AND I DO NOT THINK THE OTHER PEOPLE WERE EITHER BECAUSE IT'S AN APPROXIMATELY $1,600 REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND PEOPLE HAVE PAID IT. I REALLY THINK THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECTIFIED THROUGH GMC, SO IF THIS ONE COMPLAINT IS NOT ENOUGH, PLEASE GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AS WELL. THANK YOU! *TR
