ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT UP UNTIL JULY OF LAST YEAR (2014). I EXPERIENCED MY CAR JERKING ERRATICALLY AND HAD TO PULL OVER. THE CAR LOST SPEED AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC WHO THEN SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE JERKING STARTED AGAIN ON AND OFF, NO LOSS OF SPEED AND IT WOULD ONLY JERK GOING FORM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND. I HAVE NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD ONLY JERK EVERY SO OFTEN. NOW MY TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILIZER SERVICE WARNING MESSAGE POPS UP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL PLACES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY, ABS MODULE AND BOTH ARE NOT CHEAP TO FIX THEY ALL WANT TO CHARGE ME $500- $1200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I BEGAN RESEARCHING AND SEE THAT THE ISSUE I AM HAVING MAY BE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC BEFORE I START PAYING FOR MORE COSTLY REPAIRS. IF FOR SOME REASON THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS.

AIR BAGS
OUR 2010 GMC YUKON RECENTLY DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. WE ARE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE PASSENGERS RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY, HARD PLASTIC DASH MATERIAL COULD INJURY PASSENGERS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT GM DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO ADDRESS. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, WHICH HAS BEEN GARAGED ITS ENTIRE SERVICE LIFE.

THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED. THIS STARTED OFF AS A SMALL CRACK ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE AIR BAG ON THE DASH, IT HAS SPREAD ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE DASH TO THE AREA OVER MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND HAS NOW SUNK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH AS IF THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORTS UNDER THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH TO HOLD IT UP. I SEE THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED THAT PIECES OF THE DASH WOULD GO EVERYWHERE AND CUT US UP EVEN WORSE THAN AN ACCIDENT. I ALSO SEE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS MATTER WITH NO AVAIL. I WISH THAT SOMEONE COULD SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR A NEW DASH JUST TO HAVE IT DO THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN. ALSO, THE CHROME COVERING ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE STICKING UP AND FLAKING OFF AND HAVE CUT MY HUSBANDS, CHILDREN AND MY HANDS SEVERAL TIMES. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEBSITE DUE TO LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A POSSIBLE RECALL OR I SURE WOULD'VE REPORTED THIS SOONER. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP THE MASSES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT?

I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH JUST ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GROWN INTO THE ENTIRE DASH BEING CRACKED WITH DIFFERENT CRACKS GOING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT AFFECT THE AIRBAGS CAUSING THEM TO ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOY. I'VE CALLED GMC AND THEY HAVE NO COMPLAINT BULLETINS ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE CALLED A GMC SERVICE DEALER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT FOR THIS WOULD COST ME IN EXCESS OF $900.

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH WHEN WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT IN THE VEHICLE. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE SUNROOF LITERALLY EXPLODED ON THE CAR. ALL OF THE GLASS THAT WAS LEFT WAS BOWED UPWARD WHICH WOULD INDICATE THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODE OUTWARD AND NOTHING HIT THE ROOF OF THE CAR. WHEN WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO GMC THEY CLAIMED THAT SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT THE SUNROOF TO MAKE IT EXPLODE WHICH I KNOW DID NOT HAPPEN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, GMC IS UNWILLING TO COVER THE DAMAGES TO THE CAR UNDER THE WARRANTY.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. TRAVELING 35 MPH, I HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND THE PEDAL SUNK TO THE FLOOR. HAD MINOR RESISTANCE, THEN JUST COMPLETELY GAVE WAY. NO BRAKES! WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN INCIDENT BY VEERING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE THAT WAS LUCKILY VACANT. TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET TO SAFELY ROLL TO A STOP. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT THE REMAINING 1.5 MILES HOME, I HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. ADVISED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC THAT HE HAS SEEN A DOZEN TIMES. THE BRAKE LINES CORRODE, AND EVENTUALLY BURST. ABSURD! TO THINK THIS COULD OF HAPPENED ON A FAMILY ROAD TRIP AT 65MPH... I WILL BUYING A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF GMC AND THEIR UMBRELLA OF POORLY MADE VEHICLES- ASAP!

I HAVE A CRACK IN MY DASH CONNECTING TO THE PASSEGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. GM IS NOT WILLING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OR ISSUE A RECALL WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THEY APPARENTLY DONT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS AND STILL IGNORE THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL HAVE TO BE HURT FOR GM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BUT IF ITS MY CAR THAT SOMEONE GETS HURT IN, THEY WILL HAVE A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS!! UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ UPDATED 12/06/2017*CN
