Valve spring snapped clear in half inside the engine while driving on the highway. This caused me to be stranded on the side of the road in the middle of the Arizona desert with my two dogs in the heat. Thankfully I did not lose control of the vehicle. No warning signs whatsoever until out of nowhere- vehicle check engine light started flashing as well as 'service stabiltrak' and 'traction control disabled'. I immediately pulled over. Thankfully I shut off the engine in time to prevent further damage to the pistons. Vehicle was towed and inspected by Holden's Auto Service in Kingman, AZ. Valve spring broke clean in half and was given to me after valve spring was replaced. Compression tests were performed after valve spring replacement. engine was run until warm and normal compression resumed. No other mechanical issues found. Checked for recalls on this vehicle. nothing found related to this.

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.

The open recall on this vehicle cannot be complete without the customer being fully responsible for damage that might be caused during the recall repair. GM is advising all dealerships to force customers to sign a waiver if they have the recall work performed releasing GM and the dealer from all responsibility of any damage done to the dashboard. If the dashboard is damaged and has to be replaced then the customer is faced with a more than $1000 repair job therefore the customer must choose between feeding and caring for their family or risking the passenger being seriously injured or killed due to the faulty airbag issue. GM should stand behind the decision they made to use cheap plastic for their dashboards on this vehicle instead of punishing their customers and costing them more money or risking injury or death to passengers.

SINCE 2016 THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE DASH CRACKING, RECENTLY THIS ISSUE HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. THE DASH IS LITERALLY ABOUT TO FALL IN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY DURING TIMES IT WAS SITTING ALTHOUGH DRIVING HAS DEFINITELY MADE IT MUCH WORSE. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIRBAG DOES HAPPEN TO GO OFF IT'S GOING TO THROW SHARP PIECES OF PLASTIC FLYING THROUGHOUT THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE FOUND IS IF I SET ANY PAPERS ON THE DASH THEY FALL INTO THE DASH. I CAN NOW SEE THE WIRING INSIDE THE DASH BECAUSE OF THE MISSING PIECES. ON TOP OF THIS YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TOUCHING THE DASH AS I HAVE BEEN CUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FROM THE SHARP EDGES CREATED BY THIS ISSUE. THE CENTER OF THE DASH APPEARS TO BE ON BORROWED TIME IT HAS SUNKEN NEARLY A HALF AN INCH WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THIS IS JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR THE VEHICLE AND REFUSES TO FIX IT WITHOUT ME FOOTING THE BILL. THIS JUST SEEMS OUTRAGEOUS ON A CAR PRICED NORTH OF 60K

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND IS NOW IN MANY PIECES. I KNOW IT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE SO I'VE GLUED AND TAPED IT TOGETHER TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THE DASH RATTLES AND SHAKES THROUGHOUT ANY TRIP I TAKE. I LOVE MY CAR! I WANT IT TO BE 'HEALED'. IT'S VERY DISTRACTING TO DRIVE WITH YOUR DASH MAKING ALL THAT NOISE. IF I'M EVER IN AN ACCIDENT, EVEN EVER SO SMALL, I'M SURE PARTS OF THAT DASH WILL GO FLYING AND HURT THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER. I ALSO DON'T KNOW HOW SAFELY CONTAINED MY DASH-AIRBAG IS. MY SPEAKER AND GPS ARE ALSO ON THAT DASH AND ARE NO LONGER INSTALLED WHERE THEY SHOULD BE CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS IN THEIR NEW LOCATIONS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOMETHING ELSE NOT FUNCTIONING LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE. I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES WITH REGULAR TUNEUPS AND REPLACEMENTS WHERE NEEDED. THIS IS BEYOND MY CONTROL AND IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN THIS VEHICLE.

AT SPEED, MY VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY START JUMPING THEN ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS START TO TURN ON AND OFF AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS TRYING TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE STABILLITRACK LIGHT FLASHES AND THE DOOR LOCKS START LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AT A RAPID PACE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! THIS IS OUR FAMILY'S PRIMARY VEHICLE IN WHICH MY WIFE USES MOST OF THE TIME. SHE USUALLY IS ACCOMPANIED BY OUR 2 SMALL CHILDREN. WHEN THE ISSUE ARISES, SHE LOOSES SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS UNSAFE!

CRACKING HAS BEGUN ON THE DASH OF MY YUKON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. ALTHOUGH NOT AS BAD AS I HAVE SEEN IT ON OTHER PEOPLE'S VEHICLES, THE PROBLEM WILL EVENTUALLY MORPH INTO A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

TIME HAS HAPPENED. POOR MANUFACTURING!!! MY DASH CRACKED ON IT'S OWN AS YOU HAVE HAD MILLIONS OF COMPLAINTS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO RECALL THESE DASHES? MINE IS CRACKED BY THE AIR BAD AND IS EXPOSING WIRE!!! HOW IS THIS SAFE, WHY DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THIS? IS THIS THE QUALITY THAT GM STANDS BY! THE CRACK JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE! YOU CAN SEE THE HUGE GAPING HOLE WITH THE WIRES EXPOSED. IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS A LAW SUIT WILL BE IN ACTION! THIS DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAVE WRITTEN OVER AND OVER WILL BE KNOWN AS WELL AS YOU NOT RESPONDING! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! PLEASE NOTE MY SUV IS STORED IN A GARAGE AS WELL!!!

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.

Most recent recall on file: Feb 5, 2021. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
