WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME. UNINOW IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE BRAKE POTENTIAL RECALL BUT I HAVE NOTICED POTENTIAL STOPING DISTANCE CHANGES WHEN USING THE VEHICLE FOR LONG PERIODS I ASSUME IT IS JUST FROM USE. FIGURED THIS INFORMATION WOULD BE USEFUL WITH THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION

THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME IN THE LAST 4 YEARS I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY YUKON XL 2004 MODEL COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN WHILE ALL 3 TIMES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED AVERAGE OF 65 MPH. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. ALL 3 TIMES HAVE BEEN WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE OVER A 4 HOUR PERIOD FOR FAMILY VACATION. MOST RECENTLY WAS THIS PAST LABOR DAY WEEKEND. WE HAVE REPLACED SENSORS, FUEL PUMP, AND MOST RECENTLY HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED WHICH IS WHY I KNOW FOR CERTAIN IT CANNOT BE RELATED TO ANY OF THE ABOVE. THANKFULLY I WAS NEAR A EXIT RAMP EACH TIME AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. ALL 3 TIMES I HAVE WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THE CAR WILL START BACK UP -AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

PURCHASED VEHICLE 2016 FROM DEALERSHIP. JUST RECENTLY WORKING THE PAST 6 MONTHS STARTED NOTICING CRACKS ON THE DASH. CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AT STEERING WHEEL. I READ ONLINE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2009-2014 GMC VEHICLES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF AIRBAGS DEPLOY THERE COULD BE SHRAPNEL THROWN IN THE FACE OF DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. THE DASH SHOULD IT BE DOING THIS IN A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ GMC IS NOT WANTING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAKING A CHEAP PART. A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE TO MAKE THEM OWN UP TO THEIR PRODUCT. 2015 MODELS HAS A BETTER DASH INSTALLED BECAUSE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS.

DASHBOARD CRACKING BY PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ON TOP DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD.

NHTSA ODI 11079988

MY COMPLAINT IS THE DASH ON THE THE 2014 YUKON IS CRACKING AT THE AIRBAG AND CAUSING THE DASH TO FLAP AROUND IN THE MIDDLE NEAR THE SPEAKER. FOR A 60K DOLLAR VEHICLE, THIS SEEMS LIKE THE MFG SHOULD REPLACE DUE TO QUALITY. THE DASH COULD CAUSE AIRBAG PUNCTURE AND POSSIBLE FRAGMENTS IN AN ACCIDENT. I'M NOT FEELING VERY SAFE WITH THIS PRODUCT.

DASHBOARD CRACKED NEXT TO AIRBAG MY VEHICLE HAS 39,000 MILES GARAGE KEPT. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP COURTESY VERMILION GM OF ABBEVILLE, LOUISIANA. WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX I THEN CONTACTED GM SENIOR ADVISOR THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY SAID I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY. I CONTACTED EXTENDED WARRANTY EASY CARE PURCHASED THRU GM AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT ALSO. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES THAT THE DASH HAS CRACKED MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE A GM SIERRA CRACKED IN THE SAME PLACE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE OR BULLETIN TO ALARM CUSTOMERS. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BY GM AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE CAN BE REPAIRED WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY ANYTHING AND HELP THE THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS FACING THIS PROBLEM.

THERE ARE 2 CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD, 1 ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ONE AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THEY APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE AND WITHOUT ANY ACCOMPANYING MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH OR OTHER PHYSICAL CAUSE. I FOUND THE CRACKS AS I WAS WIPING THE DASHBOARD OFF WITH A MICROFIBER TOWEL. THE CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GREW APPROXIMATELY 3 INCHES WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED (EXPIRED ON 12/06/2016) AND I WAS OVER THE WARRANTY MILEAGE (MY MILEAGE WAS 36180, WARRANTY ONLY GOOD FOR 36000) THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1800 + TAX TO REPLACE. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND SIMILAR GM VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND WITH CRACKS IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE. THIS IS A VEHICLE DEFECT AND GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THE WHOLE DASHBOARD COULD BE DISLODGED AND BECOME A FLYING HAZARD SHOULD THE AIRBAG INFLATE DURING A CRASH.

I HAVE REPLACED TWO DOOR HANDLES ON THIS VEHICLE. ONE UNDER WARRANTY AND ONE I HAD TO PAY TO $180.00 TO HAVE REPLACED AND IN BOTH CASE MY 6 YEAR OLD HAD THEM COME UNATTACHED FROM THE FRAME WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO GET IN. I HAVE OWNED THREE OF THESE VEHICLES AND IN THE FIRST MODEL YEAR 2010 THE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF, IN THE 2012 MODEL YEAR THE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF AS WELL. YOU WOULD THINK GM WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED IT IN THE SECOND MODEL YEAR BUT THEY DID NOT THE DEALERS, WHERE IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED SAY IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT, THE FASTENERS ARE UNDERSIZED TO HOLD THE HANDLE ONTO THE FRAME. ONE WOULD THINK THAT GM WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THAT ONCE IT APPEARED TO BE FREQUENT EVENT. THE DEALERS NOW STOCK IT AS A REPLACEMENT PART. UPON CONTACTING GM THEY TOLD ME IF NHTSA DOES NOT THINK IT IS A PROBLEM WE ARE NOT GOING TO ADDRESS IT. THEY FINALLY CHANGED THE FASTENERS IN THE 2017 MODEL YEAR. YOU WOULD THINK THAT A DOOR HANDLE COMING OFF MIGHT BE DANGEROUS BUT MY CONTACT WITH A GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE EMPLOYEE DID NOT SEEM TO THINK IT WAS SERIOUS ENOUGH FOR GM TO ADDRESS AS A RECALL OR A POLICY EXCEPTION.. I THINK ANY CHILD WHO PULLS ON A DOOR HANDLE AND IT COMES OFF IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM APPALLED THAT GM HAS SUCH A CAVALIER ATTITUDE TOWARD SAFETY. THEY DO NOT WISH TO CALL IT A DESIGN FLAW WHILE ALL THE DEALERS THAT HAVE REPAIRED THE HANDLE FOR ME SAY IT IS.. I AM HOPING YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE SOME CHILD PULLS ON THE HANDLE AND FALLS INTO THE ROAD INJURING THEMSELVES. DOOR HANDLES ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO FALL OFF A CAR AT ANY AGE. I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH RECEIPTS AND NAMES OF DEALERSHIPS.- IN FACT I CAN GIVE YOU THE VIN NUMBERS OF THE VEHICLES AN YOU WILL SEE THE REPAIR TO DOOR HANDLES .

THIS IS NOT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IT'S WHAT COULD HAPPEN. I HAVE A 2014 YUKON WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES THAT HAS A CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE AIRBAGS POTENTIALLY BEING TORN IF DEPLOYED, OR PLASTIC BEING PROJECTED IF THE AIRBAG EVER HAS TO BE DEPLOYED. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GMC ONLY TO BE TOLD IT'S COSMETIC AND WON'T BE COVERED, REGARDLESS OF WHAT I THINK OR THE CONCERNS I HAVE THE CASE IS CLOSED. THERE IS A FACEBOOK GROUP WITH OVER 6,500 FOLLOWERS THAT HAVE SIMILAR CONCERNS WITH ALL CONCERNS FALLING UPON DEAF EARS. I'M HOPING A RECALL CAN BE PUT INTO PLACE TO POTENTIALLY SAVE LIVES. I'M PRAYING PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS TO BE CONSIDERED A VALID ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE, POOR MANUFACTURING, AIR BAG NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, OR WHAT. I WOULD LOVE FOR SOME RESEARCH TO BE DONE AS WELL.

THE CHROME WHEELS ON THE INSIDE ARE HEAVILY CORRODED AND CAUSING AIR TO RELEASE FROM THE TIRES. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS CONFIRMED REPLACEMENTS TO THESE VEHICLES. OUR VEHICLE WAS STRANDED DUE TO SO MUCH LOSS OF AIR, AS WELL AS THE SAFETY ISSUE OF A TIRE BLOW OUT. GMC REFUSES TO SEE THIS AS A DEFECTIVE ISSUE.

NHTSA ODI 10945371

THE DASH CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. I HAVE 1 LONG CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND 3 CRACKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. THIS IS MORE THAN A COSMETIC ISSUE. I AM PARTICULARLY CONCERNED THAT THE CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG POSE GREAT DANGER IF THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED IN THAT IT COULD SEND SHARP PLASTIC PIECES FLYING IMPALING A PASSENGER OR THE SHARP PIECES COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG LEAVING THE PASSENGER WITHOUT PROTECTION. I AM UNSURE OF WHEN IT HAPPENED; I JUST HAPPENED TO NOTICE THE CRACKS WHILE DRIVING LAST WEEK. *TR

2014 GMC YUKON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE EXITED OUT OF A PARKING LOT, HE MAE A RIGHT TURN AND WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LOW GEAR AND TOOK OFF DOWN THE FREEWAY. HE RELEASED THE RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR SOME, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. THE CONSUMER STOMPED ON THE BRAKE, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONSUMER THEN NOTICED THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED, BUT IT WASN'T ACTIVATED BY HIM. SO HE DEACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL THE VEHICLE FINALLY SETTLED DOWN AND STOPPED ACCELERATING AND HE WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. *JB

FOR THE FOURTH TIME THE REAR LIFT GATE HATCH WINDOW HAS SEPARATED FROM THE HINGE (S). IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AND ON JUST A STRAIGHT ROAD! I GUESS I WILL START TAKING PICS OF THE HINGES, NEVER THOUGH OF THAT SINCE IT IS ON WARRANTY. I AM AFRAID IT WILL SOMETIME FALL COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING.
