The amount of rust that has been exposed is absolutely insane. My adjuster found the initial section of rust when we had the Yukon in for repairs from a storm. In the past 2 months, the rust has caused a massive hole underneath the rear passenger's side door and we have had no choice but to get it repaired. The initial estimate for this single repair is going to be over $3400. This rust easily could've broken down further and gotten into the brakes and other components right behind it as it sits very close to the wheel well. This is an absolutely dangerous issue and should be addressed.

The vehicle one week after purchasing has had a tapping noise coming from engine and a rattling noise as well that you hear from the inside of vehicle. I have taken vehicle to two separate gm dealers. The first being where vehicle was purchased and they did not log in visit and basically said nothing could be done until engine breaks. The second dealer was only able to duplicate the rattling noise but had no loaner for me and advise would contact gm for next steps since a complaint has been filed. As of today nothing has been done. The second dealership also confirmed orange peel on paint and nothing either.

Engine front hood pops up into the safety latch position while driving down the road at highway speed and in cold weather or in a strong headwind.

While driving the car, the glass sunroof spontaneously exploded. It was not associated with a rock strike, no other cars were nearby, and the vehicle was not under an overpass. The noise was extremely loud, similar to a gunshot. The sun shade was closed, otherwise broken glass would have showered down on the passengers.

Faulty sunroof flooded interior while driving. Dealers and mechanics say it is a known problem. Dangerous to drive while water is running down the driver and passengers. No warnings prior.

The roof of the car has a metal defect that is causing the paint to bubble off. The manufacturer initially misdiagnosed the problem as a paint issue. The car was repainted but the paint is coming off again within a year. I am afraid that the integrity of the roof is compromised by corrosion. The manufacturer claims that the car is no longer in warranty and does not have to repair it.

Front grill is the vader chrome and it is peeling off, gm told me there is nothing that can be done and this is a well know issue and is all over the forms. This is due to poor manufacturing quality. A car this expensive should not be having these issues.

Was told by my local dealer that they did not have to complete to recall unless I signed a document holding them blameless if they cracked my dashboard or cracked it worst than it already is. I declined to sign until I could investigate why I absolutely had to sign a document absolving gm of their bad design. I believe it to be unjust and insulting that we are required to choose between the safety of our vehicles vs the possible destruction of the interior due to gm's poor design. I did not get a picture of the document before I left the dealer but was told I could bring it back later if I wanted it fixed but I would have to sign the document.

Purchased new 2014 Yukon denali in February 2015. Currently have 66,000 miles. September 2022: professional repair of the dashboard performed. Separation began June 2022. Separation of dash became larger, 2" to be exact, then the cracks appeared. Then it became noisy with rattling. According to the repair shop this is a common occurrence in some gm vehicles. GMC does not acknowledge this as a recall. February 5, 2021, our passenger side airbag was replaced by a certified gm/Chevrolet dealership due to recall. Apparently, removal and replacement of airbag can weaken the dashboard. This is an issue I will advise gm of, whether or not it will make any difference.

The paint delaminated from the clear coat in certain locations (mainly hood and roof) although the vehicle body has been well maintained. This has caused a foggy scratched appearance to the affected areas where the rest of the car looks great. This problem is well known across many gm vehicles in the 2015-2019 range and has led to significantly decreased value of the vehicle itself.

After sitting outside over night, the back door latch failed. No lights came on ahead of time and there was no other warnings on the dash. There were 22 boxes of flooring in the trunk. I made it 1. 3 miles down the road at a low speed. After sitting at a stop light I turned left and accelerated to 45mph. The hatch opened and the boxes of flooring began falling out and onto the road. Each box weighed approximately 35 lbs. Luckily there was no one directly behind me and they mostly hit a trailer I was pulling. Other than the flooring there doesn't appear to be any further damage. I suspect there was ice in the latch, but that's just a guess.

Vehicle is kept inside in a garage in pennsylvania with 53000 original miles. While driving the vehicle a heard a sound that sounded like plastic cracking, low and behold I watched a crack form beginning at the split between the upper dash panel and the larger dash and it continued over the instrument cluster. I also noticed another smaller crack in the panel surrounding the air bag, of which as also been recalled but no solution as of today. Upon researching further I find I am not alone, this is an obvious defect in either part material or assembly and should be covered by a recall. Dealer replacement for this will run around 1,000 dollars. I am worried that if I am involved in an accident not only do I have to worry about pieces of metal being propelled into a passenger now I also have to worry about plastic from a defective dash. Thank you for you attention to this matter.

My driver side back glass (quarter panel long glass) spontaneously exploded this morning with my young child in her car seat. No one was nearby, the car was in park. Nothing caused the glass to break it just randomly occurred.

The problem started a couple of years ago as a small crack in the dashboard at the upper left corner of the airbag. The crack widened and lengthened after replacement of the air bag last year. Then the dash cracked earlier this year at the crown above the instrument cluster. It has completely separated and is nearly 12” in length. Not only does it rattle to the point of driver distraction, but I would think there is a high risk of shattering during a collision potentially causing facial lacerations, blindness and the like. I really don’t want to wait to find out. According to carparts. Com, this is a well known issue with gm trucks, suburbans and Yukons from 2007 to 2014 and gm has failed to make good on the problem.

When driving between 40-70 miles an hour. I feel a vibration somewhere in the vehicle. The vibration feels like u are rolling over rumble strips. This happens time and time again on the highway, while in motion only.

I was driving my vehicle and exiting the hw. The rear wheel of the driver side broke off and separated from the car which caused my car to hit the cement beerier on front and the side of the driver side of the vehicle. Then the car turned 180 degrees and hit the beerier on the passenger side and the rear of the car. The air bags never deployed and we discovered that the wheel brook off of the rear axe. No damage to the wheel. Several industry exports stated that this should never happen.

Shortly after purchasing the vehicle in sept 2020 my onstar module failed. Started noticing water in the driver floorboard. The shark fin antenna is leaking, causing major electrical failures and shortages. No gps, onstar won't work. These fins need to be recalled and fixed properly.

The clear coat on my hood and roof is completely gone. I noticed the hood looked a little dull about 6 months ago and it progressively got worse. Now the pain is starting to chip. This vehicle is only 5 years old, there's no way the clear coat should be completely gone.

Lift gate is having trouble opening.

5 cracks located on the interior dashboard. These cracks vary in size but are located across the length of the dash. There are cracks compromising the support structure for the speaker in the middle of the dash and also the passenger airbag. Interventions used to prevent this from occurring as recommended by gm are: car is garage kept and reflective material is used when parked outside. These recommended interventions do not work. Due to the volume of customers with this exact same issue or concern, I strongly encourage further investigation and accountability for gm to resolve.

We are making payments on this vehicle from tri-united in lubbock TX. All the engine lights are on and the air bags are missing this vehicle body appears to be wrecked the hood isn't sitting right. The dealership even asked if we could have the vehicle inspected in which it failed the first inspection.

Recieved a recall notice for my 2016 Yukon xl, due to brake vacuum pump faulty. However mcgrath auto in cedar rapids, IA resolve to this recall was to simply reprogram the electronic brake control module. This was completed 12/19. By 2/20 my brakes were requiring me to push harder and at times sounded like they were skipping and braking felt delayed. I also was hearing a squeak/clicking sound coming from what seems the front of my vehicle engine area. Due to quarantine I was not driving or going places but once our state re-opened I called this dealership to report the brake concern and scheduled appt. A day before appt, while stopped at a red light as I moved forward in a very slow crawl my brakes failed me and I could not stop. I bumped the car in front of me which resulted in damage to both vehicles. I reported this to mcgrath as I was scared immensely about the safety of my vehicle. During the service appt 6/11/20 my car was diagnosed with a faulty brake vacuum pump. The vacuum pump was replaced and I was told I was still within the warranty . However they replace all 4 tires and claimed to recalibrate. On 6/25 while in colorado brake, abs and cal lights lit up, the steering wheel power was gone, trailer brake system illuminate, (never even towed a trailer) called mcgrath from colorado as I couldnt drive my car, I explained what was happening, their resolve was to google GMC dealership in area for me. I found my own in Cadillac/GMC dealership in boulder. My children and I are without a vehicle while out of state. Dealership in boulder diagnosed my vehicle with faulty electronic brake control module. I am furious as they say it will not be covered through warranty. My 2016 Yukon is in impeccable condition, issues all happened upon recall with only 35,000 miles. My experience is exactly what is being reported by others impacted by this recall.

In the last year, both of the rear tail lights have failed in my 2017 GMC Yukon. To have the dealership replace the tail lights it cost +$750 per tail light for a car that is only 3 years old. I work with led lighting and on average, led lights should last for 5000 hours of use. There is no way that in the last 3 years we have utilized 5000 hours of drive time to warrant that these led's should be burning out. I believe that the led's that they are using are defective and a case needs to be made to see if GMC is having issues with the rear tail light led's, the parts are way too expensive to be failing after a few years of intermittent use.

The top of the dashboard instrument panel keeps cracking in several places despite trying to prevent any or further cracks. It is very visible and it is now cracking towards the steering wheel and the cover to the passenger air bag area. Concerned that because it is in close range to passenger airbag component area as well as the steering column area that eventually there will some malfunction in either components.

While driving approximately 60 mph on a deserted flat stretch of road surrounded by farmland, my sunroof suddenly exploded. The screen was open to provide light but the glass was shut. No other cars were nearby nor were any hills where a rock could fly from. It was just sudden. It sounded like a loud explosion and suddenly glass was flying all over the car. Fortunately, I didn't crash the car. Myself and my son who was in the passenger seat, we were both covered in glass.

The paint on the hood and roof have lost their luster. According to a GMC collision center (sheehan Cadillac collision center, pompano beach, FL) the issue is very common on dark color vehicles and it is even happening to the escalade. Was quoted $5,195. 30 to repair and gm indicates they will only cover 30% of the amount. My car has always been serviced at sheehan Buick/GMC. Even contacted the gm customer care center and would not budge.
