"dashboard crack" in 2016 I purchased my gmc yukon denali xl for about $46,000.00 at ingersoll auto of danbury, connecticut.

My denali has a bad crack on the dash board and I hit a bump a piece of the plastic flew and cut my face , the dash is getting worse and this is becoming a liability. I will be contacting my attorney and the bbb, about this dangerous issue. I'm glad it was me and not my children that got injured.

Small crack appeared suddenly in top center of dashboard that was barely noticeable from driver's seat but could be seen in the passenger's seat.

Contacted GM since my standard warranty has expired and this is not covered under my extended warranty due to safety concerns with airbag in case of accident. I took to get estimate of cost to repair and owner had same issue with both his gmc yukon's and his was replaced free.…
