HAVE A 2008 GMC YUKON XL 1500 THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW FORM DEALERSHIP. OVER THE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP HAVE HEARD A POPPING OR SNAPPING NOISE ON OCCASIONS IN THE FRONT DASH PANEL. THEN TWO WEEKS AGO HEARD IT AGAIN THEN WITNESSED THE DASH CRACK OPEN ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE WHICH HAS CAUSED THE DASH PANEL TO WIGGLE FREE AND ALSO CRACKED AT THE MOUNTING POINT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR CITY STREET. THOUGHT THE DASH WAS GOING TO SHATTER FROM THE NOISE IT MADE. HAD TO PULL OVER THANK GOD IT DID NOT COME OUT WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK. HAVE SEEN THIS REPORTED OVER AND OVER WITH THESE DASH PANELS. ALSO IT REPORTED ON THE NEWS OVER THE INTERNET FROM WMCACTIONNEWS5.COM. THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. THE SAD PART OF IT ALL IS THE DEALERSHIPS WANT OVER $1000.00 JUST TO REPLACE A PART THAT THEY KNOW FAILS AND THAT THEY HAVE STRUCTURAL ISSUES WITH AND OVER 100 PLUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT ACROSS AMERICA ALONE.

I HAVE 4 MICHELIN TIRES PURCHASED FROM COSTCO LATE 2013, TYPE: LT265/75R16, DOT M34N 00CX. LESS THAN 30K MILES ON ALL 4. ALL 4 TIRES ARE HEAVILY CRACKED ALL AROUND THE SIDEWALLS. I CALLED MICHELIN AND THEY STATED THERE IS NO RECALL BUT I'VE NEVER HAD OR SEEN ANY TIRES DO THIS BEFORE AND I'M CONCERNED THEY COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, EXPLODE, OR SHRED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

TAKATA RECALL AND DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. 2007 GMC YUKON WAS PURCHASED USED WITH OVER 100K. SHORTLY AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2015 THE DASHBOARD LITERALLY CAVED IN WHILE DRIVING ON A PAVED STREET. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND SPEAKING WITH FELLOW YUKON AND TAHOE OWNERS, I DETERMINED THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND CONSISTENT IN TERMS OF CRACKING AREAS AND MAGNITUDE. I CALLED GMC AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONSIDER SUBSIDIZING A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COST BUT I HAD TO GET AN ESTIMATE FROM A LOCAL GMC SERVICE CENTER. AFTER CONTACTING THE GMC SERVICE CENTER I WAS TOLD A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WOULD APPLY FOR A REPAIR QUOTE, TO WHICH I DISAGREED GIVEN THE NEED FOR AN ESTIMATE ONLY. I SPOKE ONCE MORE WITH GMC STATING I WOULD NOT PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE REQUEST AND UNKNOWN REMEDY. AT THE PRESENT MOMENT THE AIR BAGS ARE ALSO UNDER RECALL BUT UNAVAILABLE. THE CRACKING DASHBOARD AND DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS CREATE A VOLATILE SAFETY SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY AND I. ALL THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN SHARED WITH GMC VIA A CERTIFIED LETTER, TO WHICH THEY SENT A LETTER STATING I SHOULD CALL IF MY REQUEST HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE CALL RESULTED IN A NOTICE THAT I ALONE AM FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE AND HAZARDOUS DASHBOARD AND NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE PROVIDED. I COMPLETELY ACKNOWLEDGE THE STATE OF THE WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THE SHEER NUMBERS OF THIS OCCURRENCE CLEARLY INDICATE THE DASHBOARDS ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS FLICKER THIS INCLUDES EVERY LIGHT OUTSIDE BEAMS INSIDE DASH EVERYWHERE. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S IN MOTION OR NOT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE FLICKERING IS A DISTRACTION TO OTHER DRIVERS INCLUDING YOURSELF. WHEN FOCUSING ON ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY START FLICKERING AND IT DISTRACTS EVERYONE DRAMATICALLY. I ALMOST WRECKED TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS AND HAVE TOLD MY DEALER SHIP "TRINITY AUTOMOTIVE" AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN BRAKING, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES KICK IN NO MATTER IF NEEDED OR NOT. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS ON BOTH CITY STREETS & HIGHWAYS. THE CAR WAS ALREADY RECALLED AND FIXED FOR FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CORROSION, 05V379000, AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE SENSOR WAS NOT REPLACED, JUST CLEANED AND PUT BACK IN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CORROSION CAN COME BACK AND DID. IT WAS JUST 30,000 MILES LATER. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER AND HAVE CALLED GM. WE WERE TOLD THE RECALL IS FIXED AND IT WILL COST US $423.00 PER SIDE TO FIX PLUS TAX. PLEASE HELP AND LET US KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS VEHICLE CAME WITH FACTORY TOW PACKAGE. BRAKE LINES, REAR, WERE REPAIRED A YEAR AGO. TOWING A HORSE TRAILER WITH HORSE ( APPROX 6500 LBS TOTAL ), THE FRONT BREAK LINE FROM THE ABS MODULE BROKE AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WHILE EXITING 90W ONTO 84W. TRAILER BRAKES FINALLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE A FEW INCHES FROM THE AUTO IN FRONT OF US . THIS WAS ON NEW YEARS EVE THIS YEAR, AND 2:00PM IN THE AFTERNOON. FOUND A GARAGE/MECHANIC TO REPAIR THE FRONT LINE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT INVOLVING A NUMBER OF CARS AND TRUCKS. I HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT EVERY OIL CHANGE, AND HAVE IT REPAIRED WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE READ OF MANY ISSUES WITH THE (CHEAP ) BRAKE LINES GM HAS USED IN THESE VEHICLES( 1999 TO 2003 ), AND AS THEY GET OLDER, THEY ARE JUST AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. GM SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES, AND FIX THE PROBLEM WITH CORRODING BREAK LINES. ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR " PROFESSIONAL GRADE" ADVERTISEMENTS. VERY MISLEADING. *TR

WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS. THERE IS A CRACK BEGINNING OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE (THE BEGINNINGS ARE THERE AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO SEE THE CRACK UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD) AND ON THE DASHBOARD INTO THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING WHEN WE NOTICED THE CRACKS. WE WENT TO CRANK THE VEHICLE ONE MORNING AND NOTICED THEM. *TR

MY DASHBOARD FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE INCLUDING THE AREA OVER THE GAUGES IS CRACKED AND SOME SECTIONS FELL IN UNDER THE DASH, LEAVING A HOLE. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THE DASHBOARD WILL TURN INTO SHRAPNEL AND SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL THE OCCUPANTS. *TR
