2012 GMC YUKON Complaints

5 TIRE FAILURES IN 24 MONTHS AND 26833 MILES. 2 WERE "BROKEN TREAD" FAILURES AND 3 WERE FLATS. OF THE FLATS 2 WERE IN THE SAME TIRE WITHIN 1 WEEK WITH NO OBVIOUS NAIL OR OTHER FOREIGN MATERIAL IN THE TIRE. AS A RESULT I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND AND HAVE HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE FIRST "BROKEN TIRE OCCURRED AT AROUND 7700 MILES, THE SECOND BROKEN TIRE AT 10700 MILES. FLATS OCCURRED AT AROUND 7800 MILES AND 26800 MILES. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL THE PUMP CONSTANTLY SHUTS OFF DUE TO PRESSURE IN THE FUEL TANK NOT BEING RELEASED. TOOK THIS IN TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE FUEL TANK AND VARIOUS COMPONENT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I FILL UP AT EITHER. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 20 MINUTES TO FILL UP THE FUEL TANK DUE TO THE PUMP CONSTANTLY SHUTTING OFF DUE TO THE PRESSURE IN THE FUEL TANK NOT BEING RELEASED. GM DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME AT THIS POINT. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS AS WELL AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND ADDRESSED THROUGH A RECALL. *TR

LARGE CRACK IN DASH AT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIR BAG COVER APPEARED IN SEPT 2013. ANOTHER LARGE CRACK APPEARED OVER STEERING WHEEL COLUMN IN AUGUST 2014. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT DEFECT IN SEVERAL GM MODELS SINCE AT LEAST 2007 AND THAT GM MAY OFFER TO PAY HALF OF THE REPLACEMENT FEE. I AM CONCERNED THAT, IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THE PLASTIC WOULD SHATTER AT THE CRACKED AREA AND ACT AS SHRAPNEL. *TR

NOTICED A CRACK ON DASH BY AIRBAG SYSTEM SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE . WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $1,000 TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AS GM CERTIFIED. AS OF YESTERDAY, THE CRACK IS MUCH LARGER AND APPEARS TO BE SEPARATING AT CORNER OF AIRBAG ASSEMBLY AREA ON PASSENGER SIDE OF DASH. THIS HAS TO BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

STARTING IN AUG 2012 I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES AND AS OF TODAY STARTED ON THE SECOND ROUND OF REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLES, THEY CONTINUE TO POP OUT WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO SOLUTION FROM GMC ON THIS PROBLEM. WHEN YOU SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY ON A VEHICLE THE DOOR HANDLES SHOULD NOT FAIL ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WILL BE OUT BIG BUCKS EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS AND THAT IS WRONG. I HAVE THE VEHICLE ONE YEAR AND THIS IS THE FIFTH SET OF DOOR HANDLES I AM HAVING REPLACED. *TR
