RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2012 YUKON DENALI DIDN'T NOTICE THE CRACKS IN THE DASH WHEN I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. IT HAS A CRACK ON THE DASH NEAR THE AIRBAG, AND ALSO A CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WOULD THINK IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH WITH A AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT THE DASH WOULD ALREADY BE COMPROMISED CAUSING INJURY TO THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER WITH SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC. ESPECIALLY BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE IN MODEL YEARS 07-14 IN CHEVY AND GM PRODUCTS. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THE LOCAL DEALER DIRECTLY WITH BOTH PARTIES BASICALLY SAYING ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND I AM SURPRISED THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED BY NOW..

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE DRIVE TRAIN OPERATES ERRATICALLY IN VARIOUS OPERATING SITUATIONS AND HAS EXTENSIVE VIBRATIONS BETWEEN 25-40MPH; VIBRATIONS ARE WORSE IN CERTAIN GEARS. SIGNIFICANT LUNGEING AND JERKING ON SHIFTING GEARS ON ACCELERATION PARTICULARLY WHEN NOT ACCELERATING INTENSELY. MOST CONCERNING: WHEN DECELERATING AFTER RUNNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND DOWNSHIFTING (I.E. EXIT RAMPS, HIGHWAY SERVICE/REST AREAS), VEHICLE ACCELERATES (AFTER DOWNSHIFTING) AND REQUIRES EXTENSIVE BRAKE PRESSURE TO SLOW AND CONTROL. TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE 3X AT 3 DIFFERENT GMC DEALERS. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED 2X. 3RD DEALER PROVIDED GMC TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN "#99-04-20-002I: INFORMATION ON DRIVE TRAIN CLUNK NOISE - (NOV 18, 2014)" AND TOLD IT'S 'NORMAL OPERATION' AND IS DUE TO DRIVETRAIN 'LASH' (AKA GEAR SLOP OR PLAY). PAID $150 TO BE TOLD "CUSTOMER CONCERN NOT DUPLICATED AT THIS TIME". SIMPLY FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE AS THE OPERATIONS AS DESCRIBED ARE READILY APPARENT. IN ALL SERIOUSNESS: (1) THE SUDDEN JERKING/SLAMMING OF GEARS ON ACCELERATION HAS BEEN NOTICE BY SEVERAL PASSENGERS NOT JUST MYSELF, (2) THE ACCELERATION ON DOWNSHIFTING IS A HUGE LIABILITY AS THE INCREASED POSSIBILITY OF REAR END COLLISION IS SIGNIFICANT AND (3) NO WAY IS IT 'NORMAL' OPERATION.

SERVICE BRAKES, SEATS
THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SEVERELY CLOSER THAN THE ACCELERATOR FROM THE DRIVER. WHEN TRYING TO STOP QUICKLY, THE DRIVER HAS TO LIFT FOOT SUBSTANTIALLY TO SHIFT OVER TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND TERRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE. THE FOOT PEDALS, EVEN WITH THE ADJUSTMENTS, ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE DRIVER.

THERE HAS YET TO BE AN OFFER TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ARE BEING SENT NOTICES TO DISCONTINUE USE BY NOT ALLOWING ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND TO GET IT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY, AND YET THERE IS NO SUCH ACTION FOR OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. WE DEMAND A REPAIR BE MADE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND WE CAN NOT FIT OUR ENTIRE FAMILY IN IT WITHOUT SOMEONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

UPPER DASH BOARD CRACKING SEVERELY ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL AS THE PLASTIC "CLIPS" THAT HOLD THE DASH BOARD IN PLACE BROKEN LOOSE. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD (1ST TIME UNDER WARRANTY - BROKEN PLASTIC CLIPS). THE CRACK JUST SUDDENLY APPEARED AFTER I HEARD SOME RATTLING IN AND AROUND THE CENTER OF THE DASH BOARD. DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL THERE WAS A 6" CRACK. COULD POSSIBLY HINDER STEERING COLUMN IF PLASTIC PIECES FROM THE CRACK FALL INTO THE AREA. PLASTIC SHARDS COULD POSE DANGEROUS IF ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. OTHERS REPORT CRACKS BY PASSENGER AIRBAG.
