DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD: THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS ALSO CRACKED BEHIND THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS WORKING WITH [XXX] SERVICE ADVISOR AT FREEWAY CHEVROLET IN CHANDLER, AZ.. HE ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND MANY OF THESE DASHBOARDS COME IN CRACKED REGULARLY. THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ANY REPLACEMENT ASSISTANCE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND GETS CAUGHT ON THE CRACKED DASHBOARD. BELOW IS A LINK TO A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH CONSUMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR GM PRODUCT.

DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS INSTALLED BY GM CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD. CRACKS OCCURRED ON DRIVERS SIDE (HUMP ABOVE STEERING WHEEL) AND CRACKS IN DASH ON BOTH SIDES OF AIRBAG. IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS CRACKED PIECES OF DASH COULD CAUSE HARM TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE. GM IS AWARE OF THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM/DEFECT AND IT IS VERY WIDESPREAD WITH THOUSANDS OR MORE GM CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE YET GM REFUSES TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DASH FOR CUSTOMERS WHICH IS ULTIMATELY PUTTING GM CUSTOMERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS IN DANGER. *TR

WHEN VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN EXHAUST LEAK IN EXHAUST MANIFOLD. DEALERSHIP FOUND A BROKEN BOLT ON LEFT SIDE AND REPLACED IT. I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT I NOW AS OF 01/30/2012 WITH 62,760 MILES I HAVE ANOTHER BOLT BROKEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET IT IS OBVIOUS THAT GM HAS A DESIGN FAULT IN USING LOWER GRADE BOLT WHICH ARE BREAKING IN LARGE NUMBERS. I IMPLORE THE NTSA TO REQUIRE GM TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE BOLTS EITHER BY RECALL OR AS INCIDENT OCCURS AT NO COST TO CAR OWNERS. I AM TOLD THAT THE EXHAUST LEAK CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND OTHER ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEMS WHICH CAN RESULT IN SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE CONSULTED WITH MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AS WELL. GENERAL MOTORS FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE'S A QUALITY CONCERN OR THAT THERE'S A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN WITH THESE VEHICLES. THIS NOT ONLY AFFECTS GMC YUKONS, BUT CHEVROLET TAHOES AND SUBURBANS AS WELL. THE DASH BOARD IS MADE OF HARD BUT BRITTLE PLASTIC. THE DASH BOARDS TEND TO CRACK OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OPENING, LEAVING SHARP "DAGGER LIKE" PIECES OF DASH BOARD MATERIAL LOOSE. IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THERE'S A RISK OF THESE PIECES BEING PROPELLED BY THE AIR BAG AND INJURING OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. I'VE HEARD OF THIS AFFECTING VEHICLES FROM AS LITTLE AS 1 YEAR OLD. GENERAL MOTORS HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND HAS BLATANTLY STATED THAT IF IT WERE A SAFETY PROBLEM, "THE GOVERNMENT WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT". ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

STEERING, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
VEHICLE WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND CRASHED INTO FENCE. VEHICLE GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AFTER 22 REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES PER HOUR WITH CHILDREN IN CAR THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED FROM THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND AT THIS POINT IT IS UNABLE TO BE SOLVED PERMANENTLY TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER. IT DOES IT WHENEVER AND WHEREVER WITHOUT KNOWING. GOES FROM HIGH RATE OF SPEED TO ZERO. ALMOST HAD A SEMI SLAM INTO MYSELF ON THE INTERSTATE. I COULD NOT PULL OVER. HAVE HAD EVERY PART REPLACED AND DEALERSHIP IS AT A LOSS. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DUE TO INABILITY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN JULY 2010 FROM A DEALERSHIP. THE INSIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLES HAD STARTED TO PEEL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS GOING TO REPLACE IT WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK, BUT AFTER LEAVING THEY HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH. THE HANDLES ARE PEELING MORE AND CUTTING OUR HANDS. THE BACK OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE COMING OFF AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE FRONT DASH IS CRACKED AND PIECES ARE COMING OFF. THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER FELL OFF. THE ARM REST ON THE BACK SEATS ARE COMING OFF. WE TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR VEHICLES. THIS IS A POORLY MADE VEHICLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE CHROME IS PEELING OFF AND MY WIFE SLICED HER FINGER ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS I HAD ALSO CUT MY HAND ON MY 2007 AVALANCHE. ANOTHER ISSUE ON MY YUKON IS THAT THE DASH HAS CRACKED FOR UNKNOWN REASON AROUND MY AIRBAG WHICH COULD PROPOSE A SERIOUS ISSUE SINCE IT SURROUNDS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ALSO SIMILAR TO A 07 AVALANCHE I HAVE OWNED. IF YOU GOOGLE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. *TR

DIAGNOSTIC CODE P0121 - THROTTLE BODY IT IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG ALL DENALI OWNERS AND IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. BUT IF THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN BY THE MANUFACTURER THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY (WHICH ARE CURRENTLY ON BACK ORDER) DEALERS WILL CHARGE BETWEEN $95 & $110 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND DETERMINE IF IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. OWNERS SHOULD BE WEARY OF DEALERS TRYING TO CHARGE FOR THIS FIX. ESPECIALLY OF THE DENALI IS UNDER 100K MILES. *TR
