I PURCHASED A 2010 YUKON DENALI AND THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING. IT STARTED AS A SMALL CRACK THAT WAS BARELY NOTICED AND IS NOW A LARGE CRACK ACROSS THE DASH BETWEEN THE AIR VENTS. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME DEFECT IN YUKON MODELS MANUFACTURED SINCE 2010. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AND THE DASH COMES OFF IN SEVERAL SHARP PIECES AS SHOWN IN THE TAKATA RECALL ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CHROME ACCENT ON MY DOOR HANDLES ARE PEELING OFF AND EVEN CUT THE HAND OF ONE OF MY PASSENGERS.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING TO THE LOCAL SUPERMARKET AND APPLIED MY BRAKES. SUDDENLY THEY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I COULD NOT STOP AND HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY OF A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TO AVOID A COLLISION. I EVENTUALLY STOPPED BY APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WILL BE DRIVING AND MY TRUCK WILL JUST LOSE POWER. I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT GOES NO WHERE. I HAVE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY AND THEN I CAN STOP AND TURN IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN START IT BACK UP WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE CHANGED THE TPS 2 TIMES, THE ENTIRE THROTTLE BODY, AND THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AND IT'S STILL DOING IT.

THE INSIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE CROME HAS PEELED AWAY CAUSING A SHAPE EDGE. THERE HAS BEEN A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT ISSUED BY GMC IN BULLETIN NO: 09239A BUT WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY WILL NOT COVER IT DUE TO MY VIND NOT BEING INCLUDED IN THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT. I FEEL MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE OUTSIDE OF THE SAME DOOR HANDLE HAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND BOLT HAS PULLED OUT OF THE FRAME. I THINK GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES ON ALL THERE VEHICLES NOT JUST WHO EVER THEY CHOOSE!! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GMC VEHICLE AGAIN! AFTER MANY HOURS OF RESEARCH I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM! WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE APPT TO HAVE IT FIXED EVEN THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES! IF THE DEALERS KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE IM SURE GM IS AWARE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED THEIR JUST WATING TO SEE HOW LONG THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT!!

UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I HAVE RUSTED BRAKE LINES, AND THE FRONT CROSSOVER LINE LEAKING PROFUSELY DUE TO CORROSION OF METAL.

I HAVE 2 SEPARATE CRACKS ON MY DASH, ONE IS LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE AIRBAG, THE OTHER ONE IS LOCATED ON THE HUMP ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACKS KEEP GETTING LONGER, MY DASH RATTLES, IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE AND GM HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T CAUSE TO HAPPEN. I'M BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI IN JANUARY OF 2008 .THIS CAR HAS 60000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT .I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES ON THE TRUCK DUE TO A CONSTANT LOSE OF AIR IN THE TIRES TO FIND OUT AFTER REPLACING THE TIRES THAT THE LOSE OF AIR IS DUE TO THE AIR LEAKING THRU THE RIMS .I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE BUT IN ALL OF MY 30 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE RIMS GOING BAD ON A CAR. AS I SEE IT THE RIMS ARE LIKE THE FOUNDATION OF A HOUSE AND SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK . YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE SUCH AN ITEM ,ALSO AFTER LOOKING ON LINE AND CONTACTING THE DEALER IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL GM TRUCKS MADE BETWEEN 2006-2010.ALSO AS A RESULT OF THE AIR LEAKING OUT AS THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY WIFE SHE MADE A TURN AND AS SHE WAS TURNING THE TIRE GAVE OUT DUE TO A LOSE IN PRESSURE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP HERE IN LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY IN 2007 AND NOT TO LONG AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE SOME OF THE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO ONE OF THEIR SERVICE CENTER WHICH THEY LOOKED AT IT AND STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. MY HUSBAND EXPLAINED THE GAUGES WOULD SOMETIMES STICK/QUITE WORKING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND HE WOULD SOMETIMES HAVE TO TAP ON IT TO TRY TO GET IT TO WORK AGAIN. TIME WENT ON AND IT GOT WORSE AND MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE TOLD HIM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE PAID FOR A REPLACEMENT AND SHORTLY AFTER THE REPLACEMENT IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING THE OTHER PANEL DID. ALL THE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING AND WE HAVE TO TAP ON IT TO GET IT TO WORK AND NOW IT HAS GOTTEN EVEN WORSE AND I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE BECAUSE WHY SHOULD WE CONTINUE TO SPEND OUR MONEY ON GETTING REPLACEMENTS AND THEY DO THE SAME THING. THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN THESE PANELS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A SERVICE WARRANTY ON THE PANEL BUT IT EXPIRED IN 2011. I THEN STATED THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SERVICE WARRANTY BECAUSE WE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL AND THEY STATED THE SERVICE WARRANTY WAS MAILED OUT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE AND WE MUST NOT HAVE REGISTERED OUR VEHICLE CORRECTLY WITH THE DMV (DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE) WHICH I DON'T SEE HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN WE RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL EVERY YEAR TO RENEW THE REGISTRATION ON THE VEHICLE WE ARE CURRENT EVERY YEAR SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE DIDN'T RECEIVE THE NOTICE REGARDING THE SERVICE WARRANTY IN THE MAIL. *TR

MY 2013 YUKON XL DENALI HAS DEVELOPED CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD. IT IS LOCATED TO THE RIGHT OF THE HUMP OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACK STARTED AS A HALF INCH HAIR LINE CRACK ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND HAS NOW TURNED INTO A EIGHT INCH LONG CRACK. SEEMS TO KEEP GROWING. I HAVE ABOUT 44,398 MILES AND THE VEHICLE. IT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND CARED FOR. NO ABUSE OR OFF ROAD DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAITING TO HEAR BACK. IN MY WORLD THIS IS STILL A NEW VEHICLE AND AT A COST OF $60K THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DOORS LOCKED WITH REMOTE. 2ND ROW PASSENGER DOOR BEHIND DRIVERS DOOR FAILED TO ACTUATE WITH REMOTE OR WITH DOOR LOCKS. WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH THE MANUAL LOCK ON THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE TO FREE THE DOOR. ONCE FREED, THE DOOR FAILED TO RETURN TO THE CLOSED POSITION AND REMAINED STUCK UNTIL THE KEY FOB WAS PUSHED. REPEATED THE LOCK WITH THE KEY FOB, DOOR STILL WILL NOT ACTUATE TO THE OPEN POSITION. CHILD CAN UNLOCK AS THIS BYPASSES THE CHILD LOCKS ON THAT DOOR. CHILD COULD ALSO GET TRAPPED IN THE CAR-COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED WITHOUT MANUAL AGITATION OF THE INTERNAL LOCKS. INTERNET IS FULL OF HIS SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING 75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN SHE HEARD A "DING" AND THE INFORMATION CENTER SAID "SERVICE STABILITY" "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" IT THEN TOOK ALL ENGINE POWER FROM THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY CAUSING IT TO SLOW TO A VERY UNSAFE 20 MPH ALMOST INSTANTLY AND CAUSED HER TO NARROWLY AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND WERE TOLD WE NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY CABLE WHICH WE BOUGHT AND HAD THEM INSTALL, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER GONE AWAY. I HAVE READ MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET BUT AFTER YEARS OF COMPLAINING NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE IT. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE GOVERNMENT SEVERAL YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I AM SURE MANY OTHERS HAVE AS WELL. NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE. TO CAP IT OFF, AND THE REASON I AM ON THIS AGAIN, IS BECAUSE THIS PAST WEEKEND I RENTED A BUICK ENCLAVE FROM BUDGET RENTAL CARS IN LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS. THIS WAS A NEW VEHICLE THAT HAD ONLY 5 MILES ON IT WHEN I LEFT THE LOT. AT AROUND 65 MILES LATER THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME EXACT THING, AND REDUCED MY SPEED TO 25 WITH AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME THAT HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS ME AS I SWERVED TO THE SHOULDER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!! *TR
