Several cracks have developed on the dashboard in front of the drivers position and by the passenger airbag location.

MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. DAVID WELCH AT NASHVILLE BEAMAN GMC TOLD ME IT WAS "UP TO ME" IF I DRIVE THE VEHICLE - I AM IN GROUP 10 FOR IT TO BE FIXED AND HE DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THAT WILL BE. CASE WAS MADE WITH GMC - CASE # 9-6579504849 SPOKE WITH CORRINE - SHE QUOTED SEVERAL TIMES THAT GMC STANDS BEHIND THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS AND THEY ARE DOING THE RECALL ONLY BECAUSE A JUDGE TOLD THEM TO. I REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THAT MY 16 YEAR OLD IS OFTEN IN THE FRONT SEAT. SHE AGAIN STRESSED GMC STANDS BEHIND THE SAFETY AND SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE FIXED. I FEEL THIS IS NOT A SAFE PRACTICE. OTHER DEALERS (FOR EXAMPLE LEXUS) HAVE GIVEN LOANER CARS - FOR UP TO A YEAR - AND HAVE DONE MUCH MORE TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF THEIR DRIVERS. GMC LEAVING SAFETY "UP TO THE DRIVER" IS NOT SAFE PRACTICE.

Summary

WHEN DRIVING IT SOMETIMES BEGINS TO HESITATE REDUCE POWER THE TRACTION AND STABILITY AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE RPM GAUGE AS WELL STOPS WORKING. IF I PULL OVER ON SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN OFF AND RESTART MOST TIMES THE IGNITION WILL HANG AND KEEP TRYING CRANK THE VEHICLE. IT'S HESITANT TO CRANK WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND SOMETIMES CRANKS AND THEN IMMEDIATELY DIES. IT WILL SHIFT HARD JUST BEFORE POWERING INTO A REDUCED POWER MODE. IF YOU TURN OFF RESTART TURN YOUR WHEEL ALL THE WAY LEFT AND THEN ALL THE WAY RIGHT AND CRANK IT WILL SOMETIMES MAKE THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND YOU THINK RESET BUT AS SOON AS YOU START DRIVING IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PROBLEM A LOT AND I MEAN A LOT ARE HAVING SO NOT SURE WHY THIS ISN'T BEING INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED. MOST SAY NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED OR REPLACE THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST SO THERE IS A ROOT THAT'S CREATING THE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FOUND AND ADDRESSED BY GENERAL MOTORS! FORGOT TO MENTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL AS WELL GETS REALLY HARD! THIS A PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN CONTINUOUS OFF AND ON SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE.

Summary

WHILE WORKING ON AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT I ENCOUNTERED 2 DISTINCT PROBLEMS WITH MY AIRBAG AND VEHICLE SYSTEM. 1. THE MAIN UNDERHOOD FUSE PANEL ON MY VEHICLE HAS PORTION OF OXIDATION ON THE FUSES THEMSELVES. THIS OXIDATION IS CAUSING FUSES TO APPEAR INTACT BUT ARE CAUSING THE CIRCUIT TO OPEN. THIS WAS THE ROOT CAUSE OF MY AIRBAG SYSTEM TO NOT BE OPERATING PROPERLY. 2. WHILE DIAGNOSING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, I WAS CAUTIOUS ABOUT UNPLUGGIN THE BATTERY DURING ANY TROUBLESHOOTING THAT I WAS PERFORMING. BUT, AT THE END OF THE DIAGNOSIS PERIOD AND ALL MODULES/SYSTEM WERE RECONNECTED TO ELECTRICAL MATING CONNECTORS I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY AND STARTED THE VEHICLE TO COOL THE INTERIOR. THE CENTRAL AIRBAG MODULE WHICH IS LOCATED IN CENTER CONSOLE WAS ALREADY ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED BUT NOT MOUNTED. WHEN THE MODULE WAS MOVED INTO POSITION AND THE MOUNTING POINTS OF THE MODULE TOUCHED CHASSIS GROUND OF THE VEHICLE THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS AND FRONT SEAT BELT SQUIBS DEPLOYED. IT APPERAS TO ME THAT THE GROUND OF THE MODULE AND THE VEHICLE COMMON WIRE ARE NOT INTERNALLY CONNECTED. THIS APPARENTLY MAY CAUSE A FLOATING CIRCUIT IN THE AIRBAG MODULE THAT WHEN CHASSIS GROUND (EXTERIOR MOUNTING SURFACE OF THE MODULE) HAS A POTENTIAL CHANGE, THE AIRBAGS MAY GO OFF INADVERTENTLY. THE CONCERN HERE IS THAT CORROSION ON OLDER VEHICLES MAY CAUSE THIS CHASSIS GROUND TO BE COMPROMISED AND CAUSE RANDOM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS TO OCCUR. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. BODILY INJURY COULD HAVE OCCURRED IF OCCUPANT WAS POSITIONED DIFFERENTLY.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2012 ,IT HAS 32,000 MILES ON ,IT ONE OWNER, ONE DRIVER, ALWAYS IN THE GARAGE. YESTERDAY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE LITERALLY CAME OFF IN MY HAND. IT IS COMPOSED OF A FLIMSY PIECE OF PLASTIC WHICH BROKE AND RENDERED THE DOOR UNUSABLE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AND YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE VEHICLE DUE TO A WRECK OR ACCESS YOUR CHILDREN OR SIMPLY GET INTO YOUR CAR IN AN AREA WHERE YOU NEED TO GET IN QUICKLY. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GM ,IN FACT THEY SELL REPLACEMENT DOOR HANDLES NEXT TO THE AIR FILTERS LIKE ANY OTHER FREQUENTLY REPLACED PARTS. I FIND THIS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL, IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! WHEN YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR CAR , ONE COULD BE STUCK IN THE CAR, OR STUCK OUT OF THE CAR, TO NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN. THIS ISSUE ALSO HAPPENS WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR OPENING MECHANISM. NOW I LIVE IN FEAR THAT ANOTHER HANDLE IS GOING TO COME FLYING OFF OF MY CAR AND I AM GOING TO BE STUCK SOMEWHERE WITHOUT ACCESS TO MY VEHICLE. I AM AN OLDER PERSON AND CRAWLING THROUGH TO ACCESS THE CAR IS NOT POSSIBLE AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I BELIEVE IF A PERSON PAYS IN EXCESS OF $60K FOR AN AMERICAN VEHICLE, THEY SHOULD BE ASSURED THAT SAFETY COMPONENTS LIKE DOOR HANDLES DO NOT ROUTINELY FAIL. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

Summary

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES BECAUSE THE BRACKETS UNDER THE DASH ARE BROKEN DUE TO VIBRATION DURING EVERY DAY DRIVING. AS I SEARCHED FOR A REPAIR KIT FROM GMC, I FOUND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF GMC OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE IN THEIR TRUCK/SUV. THE SUGGESTION THE GMC WEBSITE OFFERS IS FOR THE OWNER TO DISASSEMBLE THE DASH, FIX THE CRACK WITH A HOT STAPLE GUN AND EPOXY, THEN REATTACH THE DASH. I AM SHOCKED THIS IS THEIR SUGGESTION WHICH WOULD INVOLVE UNPLUGGING 3 OR 4 MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. I WOULD ASSUME THIS SHOULD BE DONE BY A CERTIFIED GMC REPAIR CENTER. CONSIDERING THE ENORMOUS PRICE OF THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES, I AM AGAIN AMAZED GMC HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY PARTS FOUND IN THOUSANDS OF THEIR TRUCKS/SUV'S. *TR

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD COULD BE DEFECTIVE AND CRACKED AND SUDDENLY FALL OFF AS THE RESULT OF A BUMP OR POTHOLE CAUSING INJURY AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT 5THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD PLASTIC COULD HAVE CRACKS THAT WOULD CAUSE WIRING TO BE PINCHED, CUT OR SEVERED CAUSING HEAT, FIRE, AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES 6SUN SHINING THRU THE WINDSHIELD COULD CAUSE THE CRACKS TO WIDEN 7OUR FAVORITE 87 YEAR OLD MOM USUALLY RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE IS IRREPLACEABLE AND INVALUABLE. 8THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A 'KNOWN' ISSUE TO GMC. 9WE ARE BOTH DISABLED AND ON FIXED INCOMES. WE ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS OURSELVES AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO. SAFETY AND DEPENDABILITY IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ALWAYS PURCHASED GMC YUKONS. THIS IS OUR 4TH GMC YUKON/SUBURBAN. WE NEVER DOUBTED THAT GMC MADE QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT WERE CONSUMER SAFE.

THERE ARE TWO CRACKS ON DASH LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES JUST ABOVE PASSENGER AIRBAG . I AM WORRIED ABOUT PLASTIC PROJECTILES IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

I HAD SPOKE TO FAULKNER GMC TREVOSE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.THEY DID INFORM ME THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT REFUSED TO HELP DUE TO THE EXPIRATION OF MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THERE WAS NO TRAUMA TO VEHICLE. DASHBOARD IS JUST CRACKING. THE VEHICLE IS EXCEPTIONALLY TAKEN CARE OF AND GARAGE KEPT.

Summary

POWER LIFT GATE MALFUNCTION. THE POWER LIFT GATE STRUTS FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE LIFT GATE TO OPEN ONLY 1/3 OF THE WAY BEFORE CLOSING UNEXPECTEDLY. SOMETIME IT WOULD OPEN ALL THE AWAY, THE POWER ARM WOULD THEN DISENGAGE CAUSING IT TO UNEXPECTEDLY CLOSE. SOMETIME IT WOULD CLOSE AS "DEAD WEIGHT" WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO SERIOUSLY INJURE AN ADULT AND POSSIBLE KILL A CHILD OR PET. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS. I PURCHASED IT AS CERTIFIED USED. I WAS CHARGED $415 FOR THE REPAIR. UNFAIR AS THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD! FURTHER, I AUTHORIZED THE WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 4:45PM, MY VEHICLE WAS COMPLETE BY 5:30PM THE SAME DAY. I WAS CHARGED TWO HOURS LABOR AT $125 PER HOUR. HOW IS THAT FAIR? MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, REPEATEDLY. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE. OTHER THAN THIS, I LOVE MY GMC!!!!!

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2012 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. I PURCHASED THIS SUV IN SEPT 2013 USED WITH LESS THAN 2000 MILES. I NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACKED ABOVE MY AIRBAG MODULE ON THE DASH BOARD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF APRIL 2015. I FEEL THAT THIS CRACKED DASH IS A SAFETY CONCERN. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAGS WAS TO DEPLOY IT CAN CAUSE SHRAPNEL AND MAJOR DAMAGE OR HARM TO ANYONE IN THE TRUCK. I HAVE 4 KIDS IN WHICH TWO OF THEM ARE TEENAGERS THAT SIT IN THAT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

Vehicle Identification Number: 1GKS1CE05CR******
Summary

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL THE PUMP CONSTANTLY SHUTS OFF DUE TO PRESSURE IN THE FUEL TANK NOT BEING RELEASED. TOOK THIS IN TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE FUEL TANK AND VARIOUS COMPONENT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I FILL UP AT EITHER. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 20 MINUTES TO FILL UP THE FUEL TANK DUE TO THE PUMP CONSTANTLY SHUTTING OFF DUE TO THE PRESSURE IN THE FUEL TANK NOT BEING RELEASED. GM DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME AT THIS POINT. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS AS WELL AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND ADDRESSED THROUGH A RECALL. *TR

Summary

LARGE CRACK IN DASH AT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIR BAG COVER APPEARED IN SEPT 2013. ANOTHER LARGE CRACK APPEARED OVER STEERING WHEEL COLUMN IN AUGUST 2014. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT DEFECT IN SEVERAL GM MODELS SINCE AT LEAST 2007 AND THAT GM MAY OFFER TO PAY HALF OF THE REPLACEMENT FEE. I AM CONCERNED THAT, IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THE PLASTIC WOULD SHATTER AT THE CRACKED AREA AND ACT AS SHRAPNEL. *TR

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. *TR
