In owners' own words
Dashboard had 1 crack known prior to takata recall, when picked up several new cracks now exist. Dealer denied any wrongdoing and suggested I purchase a cover to remedy the problem. GMC should be ashamed of quality control for dashboard as well as poor design/faulty door handles that break easily but entire panel purchase is the only remedy. No more general motor vehicles for me. Air bags · reported at 120,000 miles
The dash board is cracked from the driver side all the way to the passenger side airbag. Upon doing research, this is a common occurrence with these models. I've contacted gm customer care and advised them of the issue as well as my concern that the cracked dash board may puncture the airbag and become inoperable during an accident.

Deep cracks in dashboard, including passenger airbag area, could pose serious risk by affecting the deployment of airbag. This is apparently caused by the poor quality plastic material used to manufacture the dashboard. This material cannot withstand the summer/hot climate. Air bags · reported at 60,000 miles
