STRUCTURE
MY VEHICLE HAS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD BECOMING CRACKED. IT PROBABLY STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, BUT IT HAS BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AND HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS AND HOLES NOW. I HAD INQUIRED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR NOTICES. APPARENTLY THOUGH IT IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM AS EVIDENCED BY GOOGLING "CRACKED DASHBOARDS IN 2007 GMC YUKON". THIS IS REALLY NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT A SIGNIFICANT COSMETIC ISSUE. THE COST TO REPLACE IT HAS BEEN QUOTED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO BE AROUND $1100. I HAVE ASKED A THIRD PARTY VENDOR WHO DOES A COVER REPLACEMENT FOR ABOUT 1/3 OF THE COST (BUT HE DOES NOT REPLACE IT). HE SAID THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH GMC DASHBOARDS IN THEIR TRUCKS AND YUKONS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I THINK HE SAID IT WAS A QUALITY ISSUE IN THE PLASTIC USED IN THE DASHBOARDS. MY CAR HAS REALLY HAD MINIMAL SUN EXPOSURE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED THE PROBLEM. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
2007 GMC YUKON DENALI. AS I WAS DRIVING...ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWING WITH VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL DISABLE THEN REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND IT WONT LET ME DRIVE MORE THEN 20 MPH. TOOK IT THE DEALER, REPLACED TERMINAL WIRES, REPLACED BCM MODULE ($1100). TWO DAYS LATER SAME LIGHTS COMES BACK ON DASHBOARD...TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED THROTTLE BODY REPLACED ($631). THEN EVEN MORE ISSUES CAME, AS YOU STOPPING FOR THE STOP LIGHT, BUT THE TRUCK JERKING FORWARD WHILE FOOT ON BREAK AND AS STOPPING IT MAKES A THUD NOISE WHEN SLOWING DOWN. CONTACT GM SAID THEY'LL BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT BUT THEN THEY DECLINE FOR ANY HELP AND SIMPLY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. NOW DEALER IS TELLING ME I NEED BREAKS, BALL JOINTS, UP CONTROL ARMS, SHOCKS. TRUCK HAS UNDER LESS THEN 100K MILES AND MOST OF THESE SHOULD LAST MORE THEN 100K. EVEN DEALER ADMITTED BY SAYING I'VE NEVER SEEN YUKON DENALI GOING BACK. ITS A SAFELY ISSUE. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK ANY MORE WITH 3 KIDS IN IT AND NOW IT JUST SITS IN MY GARAGE WHILE MAKING PAYMENTS TO THIS TRUCK. ITS RIDICULOUS! IM SURE THERE ARE SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP US AND OTHERS WHO ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE GM GET A LAWSUIT AND HAVE BLOOK ON THEIR HANDS. *TR

STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
MY DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND CLUSTER, WHICH A MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE AIR-BAG. I HAVE DONE NUMEROUS SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND I AM SEEING THIS SAME COMPLAINT OVER AND OVER. I AM VERY CURIOUS WITH IT HAPPENING SO MUCH WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AND GMC TAKEN CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY AND THE HIGH COST OF REPAIRING THIS MYSELF, BUT I KNOW IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I'VE OWNED GMC VEHICLES FOREVER AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY, UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I THINK THE COMPANY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, AND QUICKLY. *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
MY FAMILY'S 2008 GMC YUKON HAS A CRACKING DASHBOARD COVER. THIS PROBLEM STARTED EARLIER AROUND 100,000 MILES BUT NOW THERE IS ONE LARGE CRACK AND ONE SMALLER CRACK ABOVE THE PORTION OF THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS LOCATED. I AM CONCERNED THAT EVENTUALLY THIS WHOLE PORTION OF THE DASHBOARD COVER MAY CRACK AND FALL INTO THE DASHBOARD WHICH COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS LOCATED WITHIN THE DASHBOARD. ALSO I HAVE NOTICED SOME SIGNS OF A CRACK FORMING NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER. AT ANY POINT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE I CAN HEAR THE DASHBOARD CRACKING AND POPPING LOUDLY. *TR

DISCOVERED REAR BRAKE LINES HAD COMPLETELY CORRODED THROUGH AND VEHICLE WAS LOSING FLUID. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GM REFUSES TO FIX. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SNAP BANG UPON THE DASH BY THE WINDSHIELD. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND A LARGE CRACK ON THE RIGHTT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MOLDING BY THE WINDSHIELD. A FEW DAYS LATER THERE WERE TWO MORE CRACKS AND ALL WERE OVER 4 INCHES LONG. CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALER TO DETERMINE IF THE CRACK WAS STRUCTUAL OR MATERIAL DEFECT. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE EVEN OFFERED TO CALL THE DEALER FOR ME. ANYWAY, TOOK IT TO HARRY ROBINSON GMC IN FORT SMITH, AR AND THE SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO DO THE INSPECTION AS I DIDN'T BUY THE VEHICLE FROM THEM. ALSO THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED SO HE DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. SO I TOOK IT TO BLUE RIBBON CHEVROLET, GMC, BUICK IN SALLISAW, OK AND SEAN THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS SUPER. HE CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EVEN CONTACTED THE GMC REGIONAL REPAIR REP AND HAD HIM REVIEW THE CRACKED DASH REPORT. THE REGIONAL REP TOLD SEAN TO HANDLE THE CASE AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CLAIM AS MY WARRANTY HAD ONLY EXPIRED 3 MONTHS EARLIER AND I HAD LOW MILES ON THE CAR. ANYWAY THE GMC REP SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $100 AS MY COST. SEAN KEPT TRYING TO CALL THE GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE TO GET THE REPAIR FIX WITH NO COST TO ME BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE OVERSEAS GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL SERVICE REPS WOULD NOT GET BACK WITH HIM. SO I SETTLED ON THE REPAIR. BOTTON LINE: PAY OVER $65000 FOR A VEHICLE AND HAVE THE MOLDING CRACK IN LESS THAN 39 MONTHS AND NOT BE FIXED BY THE MAKER IS STUPID. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. I WILL BUY FOREIGN AS THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE AND WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT MOVED ON A JUMPING MODE TO THE FRONT. I GOT SO SCARED. THE CAR MOVED FORWARD WE COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED ON AN ACCIDENT ON AN INTERSECTION OR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. AS THAT HAPPENED I NOTICED IN DASHBOARD THE RMP COUNTER WAS MOVING UP AS IF IT WAS WERE ACCELERATING. IT WAS PRETTY SCARY MY KIDS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO RIDE ON THE ONLY CAR WE OWN. I HAD A MECHANIC TELL ME I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. THAT IT SEEM TO HIM AS A THROTTLE SYSTEM FAILURE AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN I TURN VEHICLE ON IT HAPPENS TOO. *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL THE PUMP CONSTANTLY SHUTS OFF DUE TO PRESSURE IN THE FUEL TANK NOT BEING RELEASED. TOOK THIS IN TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE FUEL TANK AND VARIOUS COMPONENT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I FILL UP AT EITHER. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 20 MINUTES TO FILL UP THE FUEL TANK DUE TO THE PUMP CONSTANTLY SHUTTING OFF DUE TO THE PRESSURE IN THE FUEL TANK NOT BEING RELEASED. GM DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME AT THIS POINT. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS AS WELL AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND ADDRESSED THROUGH A RECALL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS TRAVELING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT WHEN I WAS CAUSED TO SLOW DUE TO TRAFFIC. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL THE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. SCARED TO DEATH I ALMOST ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO ENSURE THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP IN TIME. MIND YOU I WAS TRAVELING WITH THREE CHILDREN AND MY SPOUSE IN THE VEHICLE ALL OF WHOSE LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN AFFECTED NOT TO MENTION MY OWN. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY BRAKE SERVICE NEEDED UNTIL THIS OCCURRED AT THE POINT MY FOOT WAS LITERALLY ON THE FLOOR THE SERVICE BRAKE SIGNAL SHOWED AND DINGING OCCURRED. I ARRIVED HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT AN HOUR LATER BUT STILL NO PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EACH TIME IN ORDER TO STOP I HAD TO APPLY TONS OF PRESSURE SO THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD TOUCH THE FLOOR. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS MUCH LOWER THAN WHEN WE STARTED OUR TRIP JUST A FEW HOURS PRIOR. I IMMEDIATELY ADDED FLUID. THE FOLLOWING DAY A LARGE SPOT IN THE DRIVEWAY WAS NOTICED AT THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. MY SPOUSE CHECKED THE LINE AND SURE ENOUGH THE LINE HAD RUSTED CAUSING A LEAK. I DO NOT RESIDE IN A HIGH SALT AREA NOR DID THE PREVIOUS OWNERS. NORTHERN VA FOR PRIOR OWNERS AND I RESIDE IN THE "CENTRAL" VA AREA. THIS IS NOT ONLY A MAJOR ISSUE BUT A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAD NOT REALIZED THAT THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS WHAT I NOW HAVE. REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY A VEHICLE LESS THAN 10YRS OF AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE CORRODED BRAKE LINES AND FAIL TO WARN THE OWNER AND OPERATOR UNTIL IT IS IN FACT TOO LATE. LUCKILY I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BUT EASILY THERE COULD HAVE BEEN ONE. YET AGAIN ANOTHER GM VEHICLE HAS SUCCEEDED IN BEING NOTHING BUT A SAFETY ISSUE, DEATH TRAP AND EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT. *TR
