OUR 2010 GMC YUKON XL HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. LIKE MANY OTHER GMC TRUCK OWNERS OUR DASH CRACKED RIGHT NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT IS GETTING LARGER AND HAS STARTED TO EXPOSE THE COMPONENTS UNDERNEATH THE DASH/AIRBAG COVER. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NEWS CHANNELS AND A LAW SUIT HAS APPARENTLY BEEN FILED IN FLORIDA. HOPEFULLY THE DEALERSHIP OR GM WILL REPAIR.

I PURCHASED A 2011 GMC YUKON XL IN JANUARY 2011. IN AUGUST 2014 (57545 MILES), THE DASH BEGAN TO SPLIT ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER'S AIR BAG. A LOCAL GMC DEALER REPLACED THE DASH AT A DEDUCTIBLE CHARGE FROM ME OF $150. IN APRIL OF 2016 (87116 MILES) THE INSTALLED REPLACEMENT DASH HAS SPLIT NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER'S AIRBAG. THE SAME DEALER HAS SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE SECOND DASH AT A 30% DISCOUNT, COSTING ME $600. IT IS PLAIN TO ME THAT GM IS REPLACING FAULTY DASHES WITH DASHES MADE FROM THE SAME FAULTY MATERIAL , PLUS ENDANGERING GM OWNERS WITH POSSIBLY MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAGS.

DASH IS CRACKED BESIDE PASSENGER AIRBAG. GM STATED THAT NOBODY HAS DIED YET, SO THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THE DASH IS BRITTLE AND CRACKING MORE EVERY DAY. WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, I AM TERRIFIED THAT DASH SHRAPNEL WILL BE THROWN INTO MY CHILDREN'S FACES. THE CRACK OCCURRED OVERNIGHT, WHEN THE CAR WAS GARAGE KEPT.

TWICE MY CAR HAS LOST ENGINE POWER. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER REPAIRED SOME WIRING AND MOST RECENTLY MY CAR LOST POWER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN DALLAS (SCARY!) BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ALSO OUT DUE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM, SO THE BRAKES DID NOT FAIL BUT I HAD TO PUMP THEM TO WORK. THE DEALER NOW SAYS I NEED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY, SENSOR AND FILTER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2007 GMC YUKON XL; SELF COMBUSTED WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE DROVE IT ON AN ERRAND, RETURNED TO OUR HOME, PARKED AND LOCKED THE VEHICLE. WITHIN 20 MINUTES OR SO, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, OFF, KEY WAS OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNATTENDED. LUCKILY, THE HORN BLEW WHICH ALERTED US TO THE FIRE. OTHERWISE, ADDITIONAL PROPERTY LOSS OR INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED. WE HAVE A SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO EVIDENCE (FROM OUR NEIGHBORS SECURITY SYSTEM) OF THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. WHILE I AM UNCERTAIN AS TO THE EXACT CAUSE; STATE FARM INVESTIGATED THE VEHICLE AND IS GIVING A SETTLEMENT CHECK FOR THE ESTIMATED VALUE. THE TRUCK WAS EQUIPPED WITH A "WASHER FLUID HEATER" AND THERE WERE TWO RECALLS BY GM BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF FIRE.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
DASH HAS CRACKED ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL. CRACK IS APPROXIMATELY 6-8-INCHES IN LENGTH. DASH IS ALSO CRACKED IN TWO LOCATIONS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I FEEL THESE CRACKS COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED. THESE CRACKS OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE NOT THE RESULT OF A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT OR BEING STRUCK BY AN OBJECT.
