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.
I went to the mall yesterday and my car stared shaking the mall is 4 miles away from my house. I was driving through this intersedtion on the way home and I heard a horrible pop and saw something fly in the air and fall off of my car. It was the driver shaft and that part was laying in the road about 4 feet long and if someonewould have ran over it I believe it could have caused injurty to someone. This car hashadso many issues. From tail lights going out at one time, the door knob falling off, the arm of the seat broke and now the head light just went out. Brake issues and I called GMC to tell them that this partfelloff and they were not sure if it is under warranty. Nothing ever is but it is sad to spend this kind of money on a vehicle and have so many issues with it. We bought it brand new. I was shaking from this incident and had the car towed away.
There is a crack in my dash on the left corner of the passenger airbag and another one on the left side of the steering wheel hump. These cracks cause the dash to rattle and vibrate a lot while the vehicle is being driven, which is very distracting and they also leave exposed, sharp edges. I am concerned that the crack could compromise the airbags functions. We have only owned this vehicle for 6 months. There were no cracks when we purchased it. The vehicle was in very good condition. After we noticed the cracks on Sunday, I started researching how to fix the problem. Our local gm dealership was not very helpful. I contacted gm directly and they are not willing to replace the dash. I looked online and found numerous people who have the exact same problem in their 07 Yukons and tahoes. It seems to be a trend! I found a site where others have posted their problems and the results they got from gm. Several people have been fortunate enough to get the dash replaced for free of charge. I was not that lucky. I feel that this issue needs to be looked into further. I do not feel that I should have to pay to replace a defect that so many vehicles have. Please help me! thank you!.
The interior, driver side door handle on my 2007 GMC Yukon is defective. The chrome laminate that covers the plastic handle is peeling on the top seam of the handle causing sharp edges to be exposed to my hand every time I open the door. I have contacted the dealership and they are saying that the "special coverage recall" is only good for 100,000 miles. I have 118,000 miles on my Yukon and the problem is just now surfacing. I have contacted GMC directly for a resolution, which has been escalated to the district specialist in the area. This poses a continual hazard to me, since I have already cut my hand once from the problem. The cut was minor, similar to a paper cut, but a cut nonetheless. I do not feel that the recall should be limited to vehicle owners with less than 100,000 miles that are experiencing this problem.
I first noticed a crack on the dash up by the passenger air bag area. Now it has cracked all on top where the speedometer and gas and tempreature panel is. I'm a person that takes great care of my vehicle and am worried that this can create a much bigger problem like failure in the readings on the instument panel or even in an event of an accident that if I have a passenger the air bag will not deploy. I hope that I may get some help with this. I would understand if I had been in an accident ,these things happen. But thank god I have not and so this is of some concern.
I own a 2007 GMC Yukon and the dashboard cracked in two separate places and now fell in on one side. I contacted the dealer and they told me that this wasn't a recall item, however when I research this on the internet I found a number of other complaints about the same problem with the same type of vehicle. 1gkfk13057r251502.
The interior chrome handles are peeling, I have cut my fingers while exiting the vehicle. I am a little concerned that this will happen to my young children and require a trip to the doctors.
Summary: 2007 GMC Yukon. Interior door handles. Chrome plating has separated from the top where handle is grabbed. Handles are razor sharp and care is needed when opening door otherwise injury can and has occurred. I kind of disregarded this, later we received a letter in the mail stating we should take it to a dealer for repair!! any how what I am extremely worried is with my new problem . . . In early February we arrrived from out of town, I was driving another car. . . I jumped in my Yukon ready to take my kids to baseball practice I had just driven about 5 miles when my truck read reducing engine time and it would not let me accelarate above 20 or 30 miles dont remember was tooo scared. . . I managed to pull over and turned the car off and on again after a few of those I managed the courage to drive slowly back home. . . I waited for my husband to come home asked him to take my car for a drive and magically it started just fine, after a few days, the same thing happen but now this time it shut off and while I was dropping my kids off at school right in front , where there are kids crossing and cars going!! could have cause a serious injury. Had a mechanic look at it, said he needed to clean sum things said there are many people having these problems his buddy worked at coachella valley pontiac GMC and that dealers really dont know what the problems are. . . Worked fine for bout a month and this morning the samething happened only this time it didnt turn off it : reduced speed and I was not able to pull over as there was no room to so I managed to get to a stop sign when I got there and stopped my car started shaking I was so scared, I had no idea what to do turned the car of on of on. . . Nothing I managed to drive to a side of the road meanwhile my car is shaking like crazy. . . This needs to be fixed !! I think GMC needs to act now I m scared to drive my car, im even thinking of having it towed to GMC for repair!!.
The plastic dash cap which covers the electrical, instrument cluster and holds the airbag is cracked. Currently there is only one crack approximately 4 inches long which is located over the instrument cluster hump. My concern is that the dash cap will continue to produce new cracks around the passenger air bag as other Yukon owners have experienced. If the vehicle is involved in an accident the cracked brittle dash pad could shatter and impact and injure someone in the vehicle.
Last fall, 2010, I noticed that the interior chrome door handles were chipping. They chips were very sharp. I took it to the dealer they said that there was nothing they could except replace them at my expense. I was cut yesterday, 10/1/2011 on my handle. This is the NHTSA pe09044.
Sharp cracks appearing in dash next to passenger air bag and left rear top of the instrument panel.
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.
Chrome on interior door handles is peeling off causing razor sharp edges.
I have a 2007 GMC Yukon that I purchased new from a dealership that is no longer in business. I noticed in October of 2009 that the dashboard was cracked. Over the next few months the cracks got worse and now are in three areas. I contacted GMC and was told to take it into a dealership for them to access the damage. A week after I took it in I contacted GMC again and they told me that they would offer me a 10% discount to have it fixed. I tried to speak to their supervisor and was given the run around and I gave up. Since then the dashboard has gotten worse and pieces of the dash board are breaking off into the dash. When I put my hand on the dash it is not stable as there is a lot of movement. The cracks are also around my airbag on the passenger side in two spots. I'm afraid to let anyone sit in the front seat due to the possibility of the airbag malfunctioning due to a collapse of the dash. There are pieces of the dash that are already breaking off above the drivers side steering wheel. I'm afaid if this side collapes that it could cause a fire, entrapment, accident, injury and or death. I would hope that you understand my concern of me and my families safety. I would be happy to supply you with pictures or bring my vehicle in for inspection. Gm told me that they haven't heard of this problem, but when I brought it into the dealership the service guy said he had seen a few like this. I have also found a lot of people on the internet that are having this same this happen to their 2007 Yukon or 2007 tahoe.
There is a problem with the steering wheel mounted radio controls on some 2007 GMC Yukon denali trucks with the six disc cd changer. One of these controls is suppose to allow you to change the disc that is playing to another one of the six that you have loaded into the changer. On some of these trucks the wrong wiring harness was installed when the truck was built along with the wrong software being loaded into the electronic module. This prevents this control from functioning correctly. Instead of changing the disc that is playing, it simple goes to the next song on that same cd. There is already a control on the steering column to do this. When I brought this to the attention of the service manager at the dealership he said at first that the steering wheel control module was bad and then that the radio was defective. Both items were replaced and the problem remains. He then checked some of the other Yukon denalis that he had in stock and told me that on some of these cars the controls worked properly and on some they did not. He then told me about the wiring harness and software problem. Gm's position is that these cars are built properly and they refuse to do anything about it. Page 336 of the owners manual clearly says that this button should change the disc that is playing. I consider this to be a safety problem because now when you want to change the disc you have to take your eyes off the road and look down to the middle of the dashboard and locate a small 1/4" by 1/2" button and push it. This can cause you to drift out of your lane of travel, especially at highway speeds. This, after all, is a primary purpose of steering wheel controls for radios-you can keep your eyes on the road. I hope you will look into this matter and force gm to correct this safety problem.
