What 180 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 GMC Yukon Denali Xl 1500

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2013 GMC YUKON XL IS CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I NOTICED ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE

NHTSA ODI 10940436

MY DASHBOARD FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE INCLUDING THE AREA OVER THE GAUGES IS CRACKED AND SOME SECTIONS FELL IN UNDER THE DASH, LEAVING A HOLE. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THE DASHBOARD WILL TURN INTO SHRAPNEL AND SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL THE OCCUPANTS. *TR

THE HYDRAULIC LIFTERS 'AFM' COLLAPSED, LIFTER WAS IN LOCKED POSITION CAUSING LIFTER TO TAP ON CAMSHAFT, BY TAPING ON CAMSHAFT CAUSED DE-LAMENTATION OF HARDENING ON CAMSHAFT, WHICH DAMAGED CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS. THE ACCELERATION AND DE-ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE BECAME A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WENT FROM V-8 MODE TO V-4 MODE, THIS ABRUPT REDUCTION IN SPEED WOULD HAPPEN AND DID HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADS IN THE CITY. BECAUSE THE V-8 LIFTERS WOULD SHUT THE CYLINDERS OFF, V-8 MODE WOULD STAY IN LOCKED DOWN POSITION CAUSING VEHICLE TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO MY 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN DEC 2014 IT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 3 TIMES FOR SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING AROUND 70 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. THANK GOD NO ONE REAR ENDED ME AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME 28 MAY 14, THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL PUMP MODULE, BUT A MONTH LATER IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. TODAY 28 DEC 16 THE FUEL PUMP IS BEING REPLACED AGAIN. SO WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND FUEL PUMP TWICE. TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED AND YOUR VEHICLE SHUT OFF IS DANGEROUS. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

2013 YUKON XL WAS FOUND TO HAVE EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE FRAME AND OTHER PARTS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION. THE WAX COATING IF FLAKING OFF THE FRAME LEAVING BARE METAL THAT QUICKLY RUSTS. GM CLAIMS THAT THE DAMAGE IS ENVIRONMENTAL AND THE ISSUES IS THE SALT USED ON PA ROADS. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THEN GM SHOULD WARN ALL CUSTOMERS THAT THEIR VEHICLES ARE NOT BUILT TO LAST IN THE STATE OF PA AND THAT THEY WILL NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. NONE OF OUR OTHER VEHICLES ARE RUSTING. THEIR ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTED TO START DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE WINTER. THEY HAVE NOT PROPERLY COATED THE FRAME TO WITHSTAND RUST. I HAD TO PAY FOR UNDERCOATING NOW TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE UNDERCOATING INSTALLER MENTIONED THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS AND THE COMPANY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *TR

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG LOCATION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

I AM ALSO BEING TOLD THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE WILL NOT COVER THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP.

I PURCHASED NEW, TWO, GMC YUKON DENALIS IN 2007, 2013. BOTH DASH BOARDS ARE CRACKING AND POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. I USE THESE VEHICLES FOR PLEASURE "ON ROAD" ONLY USE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THE 2007 TO COLLEGE NOW AND HER DASH BOARD IS CRACKED FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND FLAPS AROUND WHILE DRIVING/OPERATING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD, THIS IS A HUGH DISTRACTION. THE DEALER, THAT I PURCHASED THE TWO NEW VEHICLES FROM CLAIMS THAT IT IS NOT THERE PROBLEM AND BLAME GMC, WHO WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE ON EITHER VEHICLE. I STILL OWN AND DRIVE BOTH VEHICLES TODAY AND AM BUILDING A CASE FOR WHEN SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THE LARGE DASH CRACKS FLAPPING AROUND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WELCOME ANY ASSISTANCE FROM GMC OR MY GMC DEALER TO ADRESS THIS KNOWN DASH CRACKING ISSUE ANYTIME? I ALSO WELCOME NHTSA TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND RESPOND BACK TO A SOLUTION OTHER THAN THE $1,000.00 DEALER SOLUTION FOR ME TO FIX THIS ON MY OWN. THANK YOU

CRACKED DASHBOARD MY DASHBOARD SUDDENLY SUSTAINED A CRACKED DASHBOARD IN JUNE 2016. CRACK RUNS VERTICALLY ABOVE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE IS NO REASONABLE CAUSE FOR THIS CRACK. I DID NOT PLACE ANYTHING ON MY DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD NOW RADDLED WHEN I DRIVE, AND I WORRY ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE DASHBOARD IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. I WORRY THAT THE CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD BECOME A VERY SHARP OBJECT THAT COULD CAUSE MAJOR INJURY.

MY 2013 YUKON DENALI HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD. ONE IS LOCATED TO THE RIGHT OF THE HUMP OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACK STARTED AS A HALF INCH HAIR LINE CRACK AND HAS NOW TURNED INTO A EIGHT INCH LONG CRACK. SEEMS TO KEEP GROWING. THERE IS ANOTHER CRACK BY THE AIRBAG. I HAVE ABOUT 77,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE. IT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND CARED FOR, 99% OF TIME IS GARAGED. NO ABUSE OR OFF ROAD DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND GMC AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TOO MUCH TO HAVE IT REPLACED. IN MY WORLD THIS IS STILL A NEW VEHICLE AND AT A COST OF $60K THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FLYING DEBRIS FROM THE DASH COULD FATALLY INJURE SOMEONE IF IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
