I love my truck. The only thing that is unsatisfying is my cracked dash from the left side to the right of the truck. The air bag light flashes due to the sides wall and dash board air bag is coming out. I would hate to hit a squirrel and it the air bag pops. I have one window that refuses to come down and last but not least, the dang cruise control only sets after 80mph. I hve to pray everyday not to get a speeding ticket in low speeding areas and the dash board with the sharp edges will not cause more injuries than the airbag if I'm ever in an accident. Please come to some type of agreement foe a recall to fix this matter. Pretty truck outside but the inside clean, crack, and broke up as is it was a fight inside.

25 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2005 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 04/07/2016

Since 2010, my airbag light has come on 5 times. 3 out of the 5 times, I have had to replace a sensor which typically costs approx $400-450. The other two times, the dealership was able to reset. I am now in the position of having to spend another $450 for another new sensor in order to turn off the airbag light or else I cannot pass inspection. I have asked for assistance from gm and the dealership. But, because the light comes on just after one year of replacing a sensor, the work is no longer under dealership warranty. I have filed a case with gm asking for assistance so that I can get the car inspected and continue driving the car. They have said that they cannot assist. They have left me with very few options. I can pay another $450 in order for my car to be inspected, or not drive the car again. The air bag is an important safety feature. Based on all of the other complaints online, this problem is recurring and appears to be a manufacturer's defect. The disturbing thing about this issue is that I am not sure if the airbag actually is in working order.

26 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 02/16/2016

While I was driving the stabilitrak off light flashed on the dashboard, including the traction control off. This has shut down my car on the highway several times since 2016. When I took it to the dealership, it would reset itself and the codes would go away temporarily. The dealership recommended to change the engine control module and cables. I had to get towed off the highway as this happens so randomly. The repair shop says that it is a mystery to them as they have called their GMC specialty technicians for advice. Finally, I went online and started a forum to see if anyone else is having these issues that no one can seem to fix. This is a known issue several similar stories �car forums/ GMC/ GMC envoy xl". I am surprised this is not a recall and should be immediately. Changed sensors on tires that weren't the issue since the indicator light still comes on. I have pictures and videos of the indicator lights flashing and the car shutting off. I am not able to drive my truck as soon as it is turned on all othe lights are flashing stability link/ engine/ airbag/ brakes. It is ridiculous can someone please contact me. This problem is not only with me but several other who has done nothing wrong.
