Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2011 record →
DASHBOARD ON DRIVERS SIDE AND DASHBOARD ABOVE THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE ARE BOTH CRACKED IN TWO SEPARATE PLACES WITHOUT ANY APPLIED PRESSURE OR EXPOSURE TO HARSH CONDITIONS. CRACKS CONTINUE TO INCREASE/LENGTHEN WHEN DRIVEN I.E. ACROSS TRACKS, BUMPS OR ON SMOOTH SURFACE ROADS.
MY YUKON'S DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, SOME EXTENDING 14 INCHES INTERFERING WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. THE SECOND LARGE CRACK IS LOCATED ABOVE AND BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE DASHBOARD AS WELL. NOTHING WAS DROPPED OR ANYWAY I OR MY FAMILY CRACKED IT. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD OWN THIS DEFECT AND PROTECT ITS LOYAL DRIVERS AND CONSUMERS, RATHER THAN WAIT AND SEE IF AN AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY PROPERLY, GOD FORBID, RISKING THE LIVES OF INNOCENTS. I SERVED MY COUNTRY IN IRAQ BECAUSE I CHOSE TO, GM CAN CHOOSE TO DEFEND ITS CONSUMERS AS WELL. EVEN A DISCOUNT ON REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WOULD BE APPRECIATED AS I KNOW PEOPLE JUST EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE GIVEN TO THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS NO LONGER WORK. BUT IT'S NOT THE BULBS OR THE FUSES. THOSE ARE GOOD.

ABS BRAKE PROBLEM. REOCCURRING ENGINE PROBLEMS SUCH AS MISFIRE, LOW CYLINDER COMPRESSION, AFM LIFTERS, CAMSHAFT, FUEL MIX AND BRAKE SWITCH CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS CAUSES STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL TO BE TURNED OFF. DISCUSSIONS WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS INDICATED A NEW ENGINE WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. EVEN WITH A NEW ENGINE, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO BE "ON" AND STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL CONTINUE TO GO ON AND OFF, AND LIVING IN MI IT IS CONCERNING ME THAT I MAY LOSE THESE BRAKING FUNCTIONS WHEN I NEED THEM. GMC HAS OFFERED NO SOLUTIONS. MANY, MANY FORUM DISCUSSIONS ON THE WEB INDICATE OWNERS SUCH AS ME SHOULD CREATE A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT, AS THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL GOES ON AND OFF AS I AM DRIVING, TYPICALLY ON A HIGHWAY.
TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK TUBE BREAKS EASILY. VECHILE WAS STATIONARY
TAKATA RECALL : I'VE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY'RE WAITING ON PARTS, ITS BEEN MONTHS (ORIGINAL RECALL ALMOST 2 YRS) AND I CAN'T GET MY RECALLED VEHICLE FIXED.

AIR BAG
'TAKATA RECALL" GM SAYS IT HAS NO RESOLUTION FOR AIRBAG RECALL AS OF 2/6/18. ALSO DASH BOARD HAS 2 CRACKS AT PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED DASH BOARD MAY INJURE PASSENGER IF AIRBAG INFLATES. GM CASE# 8-3791360606
VERY LARGE CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD EXTENDING FROM PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS DEFECT IN DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION AND WILL AFFECT PASSENGER AIR BAG EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY OF OCCUPANTS IF PIECES OF THE DASH ARE PROJECTED OUTWARDS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. GMC NEEDS TO INITIATE A VOLUNTARY RECALL IMMEDIATELY.
TRAVELLING AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY (60 MPH) , THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND A STABILITRAK MESSAGE IS SHOWN. POWER TO THE ENGINE IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED. CAR SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. A SECONDAY MESSAGE APPEARS TO CHECK THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. VERY CLOSE TO GETTING REAR ENDED. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON A 2014 GMC YUKON XL THAT WE OWN.
TAKATA RECALL - PURCHASED FROM A DEALER AND CALLED TWO OTHER DEALERS AND NONE HAVE PARTS FOR THE RECALL
TAKATA RECALL AFTER RECEIVING A NOTICE REGARDING THE RECALL I CONTACTED A LOCAL GMC DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT TAKATA HAS FILED CHAPTER 11 IN THE U.S. SO THE PARTS FOR THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY AIRBAG RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE WHILE "THINGS GET SORTED OUT". THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE AS THIS IS A VEHICLE DRIVEN BY ME OR MY WIFE WITH OUR 3 CHILDREN INSIDE.

DASHBOARD HAS TWO CREAKS AT PASSAGE AIR BAG. VEHICLE ALSO HAS TAKATA RECALL WITH NO RESOLUTION. I AM CONCERNED DASH MAY INJURE PASSAGE IF AIR BAG INFLATES. YUKON ALWAYS GARAGED, MILEAGE 38,000.
CRACKED DASHBOARD THAT MAY IMPACT AIRBAGS. THIS POSES A COMMUNITY HAZARD TO THOSE DRIVING.
THE PLASTIC DASH IS CRACKED NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET THERE ARE MANY AND GM WILL NOT RECALL THEM. DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE PASSENGER IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITH THE PLASTIC DASH CRACKED AROUND IT.

I HOPE THAT GM DOES NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE HAS A DEATH DUE TO FAULTY AIRBAGS, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT IT WILL BE FAR MORE EXPENSE.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
