2013 GMC YUKON Complaints

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2013 GMC YUKON XL IS CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I NOTICED ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE

MY DASHBOARD FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE INCLUDING THE AREA OVER THE GAUGES IS CRACKED AND SOME SECTIONS FELL IN UNDER THE DASH, LEAVING A HOLE. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THE DASHBOARD WILL TURN INTO SHRAPNEL AND SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL THE OCCUPANTS. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO MY 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN DEC 2014 IT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 3 TIMES FOR SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING AROUND 70 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. THANK GOD NO ONE REAR ENDED ME AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME 28 MAY 14, THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL PUMP MODULE, BUT A MONTH LATER IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. TODAY 28 DEC 16 THE FUEL PUMP IS BEING REPLACED AGAIN. SO WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND FUEL PUMP TWICE. TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED AND YOUR VEHICLE SHUT OFF IS DANGEROUS. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

THE HYDRAULIC LIFTERS 'AFM' COLLAPSED, LIFTER WAS IN LOCKED POSITION CAUSING LIFTER TO TAP ON CAMSHAFT, BY TAPING ON CAMSHAFT CAUSED DE-LAMENTATION OF HARDENING ON CAMSHAFT, WHICH DAMAGED CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS. THE ACCELERATION AND DE-ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE BECAME A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WENT FROM V-8 MODE TO V-4 MODE, THIS ABRUPT REDUCTION IN SPEED WOULD HAPPEN AND DID HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR ROADS IN THE CITY. BECAUSE THE V-8 LIFTERS WOULD SHUT THE CYLINDERS OFF, V-8 MODE WOULD STAY IN LOCKED DOWN POSITION CAUSING VEHICLE TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. *TR

2013 YUKON XL WAS FOUND TO HAVE EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE FRAME AND OTHER PARTS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION. THE WAX COATING IF FLAKING OFF THE FRAME LEAVING BARE METAL THAT QUICKLY RUSTS. GM CLAIMS THAT THE DAMAGE IS ENVIRONMENTAL AND THE ISSUES IS THE SALT USED ON PA ROADS. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THEN GM SHOULD WARN ALL CUSTOMERS THAT THEIR VEHICLES ARE NOT BUILT TO LAST IN THE STATE OF PA AND THAT THEY WILL NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. NONE OF OUR OTHER VEHICLES ARE RUSTING. THEIR ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTED TO START DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE WINTER. THEY HAVE NOT PROPERLY COATED THE FRAME TO WITHSTAND RUST. I HAD TO PAY FOR UNDERCOATING NOW TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE UNDERCOATING INSTALLER MENTIONED THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS AND THE COMPANY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG LOCATION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. RESEARCHING THIS HAS SHOWN THAT IT'S A REOCCURRING DEFECT IN THE YUKON, SIERRA, SILVERADO, TAHOE AND SURBURBAN MODELS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION BY THE MANUFACTURER SHORT OF A REPLACEMENT "CASE BY CASE" BASIS.

TAKATA RECALL - FROM DAY TO DAY THE BACK HATCH WILL NOT OPEN. TOOK TO GMC DEALER AND COULD NOT FIND CODE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I DISCONNECTED BATTERY CABLE FOR 1 MINUTE AND RECONNECT AND WORKS FINE.

THERE IS A CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD. IT'S INCREASINGLY SPREADING AND I'VE SEEN THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE MY COMPLIANT KNOWN. THE CRACK JUST SHOWED OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN I CRANKED THE CAR UP. WE USE A SUN VISOR TO AVOID THE SUN DIRECTLY HITTING HE DASHBOARD BUT THIS STILL HAPPENED.
