TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED SIGNIFICANTLY IN TWO LOCATIONS ONE OF WHICH IS BY THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. ALSO, THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE PEELED AND CRACKED. SPECIFICALLY, THE INTERIOR HANDLES HAVE PEELED TO THE POINT OF CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER/PASSENGER HANDS UPON USAGE. *JS

I NOTICED AN APPROXIMATE 4'' CRACK ON MY DASH BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND STEERING WHEEL HUMP. I THEN NOTICED A SIMILAR CRACK EMERGING NEAR THE TOP LEFT PORTION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE EMPLOYEES WHERE I GET MY CAR WASH WERE APPLYING TOO MUCH PRESSURE. HOWEVER, AFTER LOOKING ONLINE TO BUY A NEW DASH, I FOUND THAT I WAS AMONG MANY GMC OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I DONT THINK IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT WE ALL HAVE THE SAME CRACKS, IN THE SAME LOCATION ON THE DASH. ALSO, THE CHROME PLATING ON BOTH MY DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER INNER DOOR HANDLES IS PEELING OFF. I HEARD THAT EXPOSURE TO THE SUN MAY BE A CAUSE, HOWEVER, MY TWO FRONT WINDOWS HAVE HAD 5% TINT ON THEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT. ALSO, I JUST GOT MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUES. THE PROBLEM IS FIXED FOR NOW, HOWEVER, AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF GMC YUKON OWNERS EXPERIENCE VERY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLE'S ENGINE. I KEEP READING ABOUT THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WARNINGS. *TR

VEHICLE GETS EXTREMELY LOW GAS, 13 MPG ON AVERAGE. BURNS OIL . NEED TO ADD 2-3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. ENGINE COOLING FAN STAYS ON FOR EXTENDED PERIODS WHILE DRIVING. ALL OF WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IS NORMAL FOR THE TRUCK. THEY REMOVED THE DRIVESHAFT BECAUSE OF CLUNKING AT 25K MI. REACTION CARRIER REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION RECONDITIONED AT 36,663 MI AFTER CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED IN. AT 62K MILES ENGINE LIGHT ON AND IDLES ROUGH. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY. AT 67K WON'T ENGAGE IN REVERSE AND MAKES CLUNKING SOUND FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. REPLACED REVERSE HOUSING, REACTION SHELL, ETC. AT 75K HAD A REACTION CARRIER FAILURE, LOST POWER BRAKES AND LOST POWER TO THE CAR. ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED. HAD TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF PARKING LOT DURING CHRISTMAS RUSH. WAITED 5 MIN AND RESTARTED. ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE CLEANED EVERY 15K MILES UNDER SERVICE MAINTENANCE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS! NOT REALLY SURE WHY IT HAD TO BE CLEANED, THOUGH, JUST HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED 13K MILES AGO. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MAJOR FLAWS IN THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE. OBVIOUSLY, THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN PUTTING BAND AIDS ON MY PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX. I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY THAT MY FAMILY AND CHILDREN HAVE NOT BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE MAJOR FLAWS IN THE ENGINE DESIGNS. EVERY TIME I GET MY CAR FIXED, THE TECH ASSURES ME THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH SO MANY CLOSE CALLS. THE CAR IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE! *TR

THERE IS A CRACK IN MY DASH ON THE LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ANOTHER ONE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL HUMP. THESE CRACKS CAUSE THE DASH TO RATTLE AND VIBRATE A LOT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING AND THEY ALSO LEAVE EXPOSED, SHARP EDGES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CRACK COULD COMPROMISE THE AIRBAGS FUNCTIONS. WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 MONTHS. THERE WERE NO CRACKS WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. AFTER WE NOTICED THE CRACKS ON SUNDAY, I STARTED RESEARCHING HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. OUR LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL. I CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE THE DASH. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN THEIR 07 YUKONS AND TAHOES. IT SEEMS TO BE A TREND! I FOUND A SITE WHERE OTHERS HAVE POSTED THEIR PROBLEMS AND THE RESULTS THEY GOT FROM GM. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET THE DASH REPLACED FOR FREE OF CHARGE. I WAS NOT THAT LUCKY. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE A DEFECT THAT SO MANY VEHICLES HAVE. PLEASE HELP ME! THANK YOU! *TR

I PLACED THE SHIFT IN PARK, STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR (IT WAS DARK ABOUT 10PM) AND WAS IMEDIATELY KNOCKED DOWN. THE CAR BACKED OVER BOTH LEGS AND INTO A DITCH. I HIT MY HEAD AND WAS UNCONCIOUS FOR 15-20 MINUTES. I AM RECOVERING SLOWLY. I AM SURE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK-AT LEAST I THOUGHT I DID. *TR

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT CRACK IN THE DASH CONNECTING THE AIR BAG COMPONENT TO THE BODY. THE FIRST CRACK WAS FOUND BACK IN FEBRUARY AND NOW THERE ARE 2 MORE CRACKS - ONE MORE ON THE AIR BAG CONNECTION AND ONE ABOVE THE CLUSTER DOME. MY FEAR IS THAT IF THE AIRBAG IS TO DEPLOY, THE SHARP EDGES RESULTING FROM THE DEFECTIVE DASH WOULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT INJURY EVEN IF IT IS A MINOR CRASH. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TT

THE INTERIOR, DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE ON MY 2007 GMC YUKON IS DEFECTIVE. THE CHROME LAMINATE THAT COVERS THE PLASTIC HANDLE IS PEELING ON THE TOP SEAM OF THE HANDLE CAUSING SHARP EDGES TO BE EXPOSED TO MY HAND EVERY TIME I OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE "SPECIAL COVERAGE RECALL" IS ONLY GOOD FOR 100,000 MILES. I HAVE 118,000 MILES ON MY YUKON AND THE PROBLEM IS JUST NOW SURFACING. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC DIRECTLY FOR A RESOLUTION, WHICH HAS BEEN ESCALATED TO THE DISTRICT SPECIALIST IN THE AREA. THIS POSES A CONTINUAL HAZARD TO ME, SINCE I HAVE ALREADY CUT MY HAND ONCE FROM THE PROBLEM. THE CUT WAS MINOR, SIMILAR TO A PAPER CUT, BUT A CUT NONETHELESS. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE LIMITED TO VEHICLE OWNERS WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. *TT
