THERE ARE TWO CRACKS ON DASH LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES JUST ABOVE PASSENGER AIRBAG . I AM WORRIED ABOUT PLASTIC PROJECTILES IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM AWARE OF SEVERAL THOUSAND OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME NATURE. I HAD SPOKE TO FAULKNER GMC TREVOSE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.THEY DID INFORM ME THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT REFUSED TO HELP DUE TO THE EXPIRATION OF MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THERE WAS NO TRAUMA TO VEHICLE. DASHBOARD IS JUST CRACKING. THE VEHICLE IS EXCEPTIONALLY TAKEN CARE OF AND GARAGE KEPT.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES. THE FIRST CRACKED HAPPENED AT ABOUT 24,000 MILES RIGHT ABOVE THE STEERING WELL. THE SECOND CRACK IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LEADING UP TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THAT HAPPENED AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. THE THIRD CRACK IS IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL IT TRAVELS UPWARD TO MEET THE FIRST CRACK MAKING IT INTO A Y SHAPED. THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. THE CAR IS PARKED IN A GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE IN THE MIDDLE ROW AND THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT BUCKLE IN THE THIRD ROW BOTH FELL APART MAKING THE BUCKLES UNUSABLE.

WHILE DRIVING CAR AT RANDOM TIMES IT WILL SHUTOFF AND YOU WILL LOOSE STEERING AND ALL ELECTRONICS MOMENTARILY AND THEN CAR WILL TURN BACK ON. IT ONLY DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING ON ROUGHER PAVEMENT. ONCE THIS HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN OFF THE CAR AND TRY TO START THE CAR THE KEY WILL NOT TURN ON ANY OF THE ELECTRONICS AND WILL NOT START THE VEHICLE. IF YOU CONTINUOUSLY TAKE THE KEY OUT AND REINSERT UNTIL AND THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START.

OVER THE PAST FOUR MONTHS MY 2012 YUKON HAS BEEN HESITATING / STOPPING. I HAVE ACCELERATE INTO IN THE INTERSECTION AND VEHICLE HESITATED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON AND OFF NUMEROUS TIMES, FLASHING STABILIZATION AND TRACTION SWITCHING ON AND OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST FIVE TIMES EACH TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE SECOND TO THE LAST TIME THEY STATED I NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP WHICH THEY REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED WITH IN TWO DAYS AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY . THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY STATED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES FROM 2013 TO 2017 CAUSING STALLING HESITATION LACK OF PERFORMANCE IN A SETTING IN HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT . I BELIEVE THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY RISK FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE IN HIGH CLIMATE AREAS .

I PURCHASED MY 2012 GMC YUKON DENALI AWD NEW. APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AGO THE DASHBOARD DEVELOPED A CRACK AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CRACK HAS SLOWLY BEEN GETTING WORSE AND IS NOW BECOMING ELEVATED AND I NOW HAVE FEARS FOR PROPER OPERATION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DUE TO THIS. I RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH 2007 - 2013 GMC YUKONS, CHEVROLET TAHOES, CHEVROLET SUBURBANS, AND CADILLAC ESCALADES. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS VIA EMAIL TODAY (5/30/17) AND AM AWAITING RESPONSE AND HOPEFUL RESOLUTION FROM THEM. I WILL ADVISE WHEN I HAVE GM'S RESPONSE/RESOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS FRACTURED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER THE AIR BAG, AND ALONG THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2012 YUKON DENALI DIDN'T NOTICE THE CRACKS IN THE DASH WHEN I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. IT HAS A CRACK ON THE DASH NEAR THE AIRBAG, AND ALSO A CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WOULD THINK IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH WITH A AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT THE DASH WOULD ALREADY BE COMPROMISED CAUSING INJURY TO THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER WITH SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC. ESPECIALLY BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE IN MODEL YEARS 07-14 IN CHEVY AND GM PRODUCTS. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THE LOCAL DEALER DIRECTLY WITH BOTH PARTIES BASICALLY SAYING ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND I AM SURPRISED THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED BY NOW..
