The problem started a couple of years ago as a small crack in the dashboard at the upper left corner of the airbag. The crack widened and lengthened after replacement of the air bag last year. Then the dash cracked earlier this year at the crown above the instrument cluster. It has completely separated and is nearly 12-?? in length. Not only does it rattle to the point of driver distraction, but I would think there is a high risk of shattering during a collision potentially causing facial lacerations, blindness and the like. I really don-??t want to wait to find out. According to [XXX], this is a well known issue with GM trucks, Suburbans and Yukons from 2007 to 2014 and GM has failed to make good on the problem.

I bought this SUV used and was toldthe dashboard cracked on its own around the passenger airbag and on the driver side over the instrument cluster! I tried fixing with super glue and it just looks terrible & a complete eyesore!! I do not know when it broke so I do not know what to put on your form except for my purchase date.

The dashboard is cracked on driver side with plastic pieces falling down into dash, dashboard is also cracked on passenger side on the corner of the airbag. This is a known issue and I want it fixed. I feel that the airbags ability to deploy on passenger side is compromised if an accident occurs. I bought this vehicle with thoughts of being safe for me, my wife and two small children. GM has said they are not going to fix it, this is my last plea for help. Replacing is expensive but feel like it's defect in vehicle design(evident by how many complaints I found). If there is a accident in this vehicle and airbag fails I will hold GM accountable for any harm caused to my family.

We have a really bad crack in the dash and even a piece has broken off. The dash is also separating across the front. The car was stationary and was not moving or in an accident.

Starting in Aug 2012 I have had to replace all four door handles and as of today started on the second round of replacing the defective door handles, they continue to pop out when you open the door. I have been told there is no solution from GMC on this problem. When you spend that kind of money on a vehicle the door handles should not fail all of the time. When the vehicle is out of warranty I will be out big bucks every time this happens and that is wrong. I have the vehicle one year and this is the fifth set of door handles I am having replaced.
