AIR BAGS
WHILE DRIVING, I STARTED HEARING STRANGE RATTLING NOISES FROM THE DASHBOARD. WE I INSPECTED THE DASH BOARD, I NOTICED IT WAS CRACKED BY THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON BOTH SIDES. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD WILL MOST LIKELY EXPLODE, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE INJURY THAN THE AIRBAG WAS DESIGNED TO AVOID. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT FROM GM CUSTOMERS. WHILE I RECENTLY PAID TO HAVE MY DASH REPLACED, I'M HOPING GM WILL ISSUE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND I WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR REPAIRING THIS DEFECT.

AIR BAGS
DASHBOARD IS FAILING EXTENSIVELY DUE TO AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT. AREAS OF FAILURE INCLUDE UP TO AND AROUND THE PORTION WHICH SAYS "AIR BAG" WHICH IS CREATING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN. PLASTIC FRAGMENTS ARE LOOSE ON CRACKED AREAS OF DASH. THIS PRESENTS A POSSIBLE HIGH-SPEED PROJECTILE HAZARD IF AIR BAG(S) ARE DEPLOYED AND CATCH ON LOOSE/CRACKED AREAS DURING DEPLOYMENT. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY INCIDENTS. DASHBOARD SURROUNDING AIRBAG CRACKED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL CRACKS AS TIME GOES ON. FINALLY, DASHBOARD IS VIBRATING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING ADDITIONAL CRACKS AND FRAGMENTS OF PLASTIC TO COME LOOSE. DISCUSSIONS WITH MECHANICS INDICATE THAT ENTIRE DASH MAY COME LOOSE AND FALL IN TO DRIVERS OR PASSENGER UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL IN ADDITION TO POSSIBLE AIR-BAG PROJECTILE HAZARD. TWO LOCAL GMC DEALERS INDICATED THAT THIS IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR AND THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD REPLACE THE DASH ON THEIR OWN IF THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN BY THE CONSUMER.

WHEN I ENTERED MY VEHICLE I NOTICED A CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD LEADING TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG PANEL. THE CRACK LEADS TO THE TOP LEFT OF THE AIRBAG PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, LOCATED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. WILL THIS INTERFERE WITH DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG? IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT, WILL THE DASH COME REMOVED AND INJURE A RIDER? WILL THE PLASTIC SHARDS CAUSE BODILY HARM?

MY DASH STARTED CRACKING ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CRACK IS NOW ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG VERTICAL TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I STARTED CONTACTING UPHOLSTERY REPAIR SHOPS AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN SO DEPENDABLE BUT THIS DASH PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED IN FUTURE MODELS AS WELL AS RECALLED FOR THE 2009 YUKON DENALI.

THE DASH IS CRACKING ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THIS IS A NOTED SAFETY ISSUE SINCE AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY CREATE FLYING BROKEN PARTS FROM THE DASH. THIS IS A WELL REPORTED ISSUE THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN COVERED BY A RECALL. OVER 3700 OWNERS HAVE JOINED A FACEBOOK GROUP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/?FREF=NF. DEALERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVE FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS DEFECT AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS.

SEAT BELTS
LEFT REAR SEAT BELT FAILS TO EXTRACT. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE LOCK BAR WAS SEIZED UP AND COULD NOT BE RELEASED AND THAT THE ENTIRE SEATBELT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS ONLY A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND AT 6'4 270 I DON'T HAVE ANYONE EVER SIT BEHIND ME. THIS IS PROBABLY THE LEAST USED SEATBELT IN MY YUKON. . SAFETY DEVICES SUCH AS SEAT BELTS & AIR BAGS SHOULD NEVER FAIL EVER ! IF THEY DO THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE DUE TO POOR DESIGN. I JUST THANK GOD IT DIDN'T MALFUNCTION DURING AN ACCIDENT. GMC'S SEAT BELT DESIGN NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, I WAS HEARING STRANGE CRACKING.NOISES FROM THE DASHBOARD FOR 2 DAYS. THEN I LOOKED AT THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD, AND IT WAS CRACKED BY THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. SHOULD THE AIRBAG BE DEPLOYED, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD WILL EXPLODE, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE INJURY THAN THE AIRBAG WAS DESIGNED TO AVOID. HOPEFULLY, GMC WILL ADDRESS THIS IN A RECALL.

A FEW WEEKS AGO THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK ON MY 2009 GMC YUKON. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW ON 10/10/09 AND HAD ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRE 10/2015. WARRANTY EXPIRED ANOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THIS HAPPENED. I WENT ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY FOLKS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE WITH AN ACTIVE LAWSUIT. GMC SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPARI THIS FAULTY DASHBOARD TO AVOID FURTHER INJURY OF PLASTIC FLYING IN PASSENGERS FACES IF AN AIRBAG EVER DOES DEPLOY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PAST FEW DAYS WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND HIGHWAYS AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY RADIO POWERING OFF AND ON EVERY FEW MINUTES, THE WARNING LIGHT TO HAVE MY TIRE PRESSURE SERVICED, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS LIT UP AND A STABILITRAK WARNING MESSAGE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. WHAT IF MY VEHICLE TOTALLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING? THERE ARE NO RECALLS ACCORDING TO GMC'S WEBSITE. I ALSO WANT TO REPORT THAT MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND STARTING TO SEPARATE, WHICH WORRIES ME SINCE THE CRACK IS NEAR MY AIRBAGS, AND CRACKED OVER MY STEERING COLUMN. GMC HAS NO RECALL FOR THIS EITHER AND I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OWNER'S OF YUKONS AND TAHOES AROUND MY YEAR MODEL. I HAVE 119K MILES ON MY VEHICLE SO I AM SURE GMC WILL NOT REPAIR ANYTHING UNLESS I PAY FOR IT MYSELF, WHICH DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN I FEEL MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT RISK.
