I have two cracks in my dash. One on the driver side and one that goes directly to the airbag.

Cracked dashboard
- Lakeland, TN, USA
A few weeks ago the dashboard began to crack on my 2009 GMC Yukon. I purchased the vehicle brand new on 10/10/09 and had also purchased an extended warranty which expire 10/2015. Warranty expired anout 3 months ago and this happened. I went online to find that many folks are having the same problem and it's a safety issue with an active lawsuit. GMC should issue a recall to repari this faulty dashboard to avoid further injury of plastic flying in passengers faces if an airbag ever does deploy.

Top left hand corner of dashboard above the passenger air bag cover is cracking. My GMC has 26000 miles and has always been parked in a garage. I've contacted GM customer service and the dealership.

The dashboard is cracked in several places. The worst cracks are over the instrument panel but there are cracks touching the air bag cover. It seems I find a new crack about every few months. Besides being a faulty piece of equipment I feel this could be a safety issue if pieces of the plastic dash should start falling into the electronic components under the dash.

The vehicles dash has cracked in multiple locations. The first crack has occurred in the corner of the passenger side airbag introducing a potential structural and debris concern upon an airbag deflation. The second crack has occurred directly above the steering wheel from the defrost air vents all the way to the top of the dash panel. A third has arose just to the left of the second, again traveling from the vent to the top of the Contour above the instrument panel. This is not only a matter of concern for safety, but not the level of quality one would expect from a vehicle with a sticker price North of $50K. There is no longer structure integrity within the dash and it now bounces embarrassingly with every bump in the road. Very unhappy with the quality of this defective dash.
