2009 GMC YUKON Complaints

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THE WORST CRACKS ARE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BUT THERE ARE CRACKS TOUCHING THE AIR BAG COVER. IT SEEMS I FIND A NEW CRACK ABOUT EVERY FEW MONTHS. BESIDES BEING A FAULTY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH SHOULD START FALLING INTO THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASH.

THE VEHICLES DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. THE FIRST CRACK HAS OCCURRED IN THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INTRODUCING A POTENTIAL STRUCTURAL AND DEBRIS CONCERN UPON AN AIRBAG DEFLATION. THE SECOND CRACK HAS OCCURRED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FROM THE DEFROST AIR VENTS ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF THE DASH PANEL. A THIRD HAS AROSE JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE SECOND, AGAIN TRAVELING FROM THE VENT TO THE TOP OF THE CONTOURS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS NOT ONLY A MATTER OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY, BUT NOT THE LEVEL OF QUALITY ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM A VEHICLE WITH A STICKER PRICE NORTH OF $50K. THERE IS NO LONGER STRUCTURE INTEGRITY WITHIN THE DASH AND IT NOW BOUNCES EMBARRASSINGLY WITH EVERY BUMP IN THE ROAD. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE QUALITY OF THIS DEFECTIVE DASH.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CRACKED PART IS VERY SHARP AND WILL LIKELY YEAR THE AIRBAG IF IT DEPLOYS DURNING A CRASH, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. ALSO, IT SEEMS VERY BRITTLE AND THE FORCE OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD SEND FLYING SHRAPNEL INTO PASSENGERS FACES.

YUKON STARTED DYING AT STOP LIGHTS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. STARTED TO PULL OUT FROM INTERSECTION ALMOST GOT T-BONED WHEN VEHICLE DIED. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SOME 2009 YUKONS FOR FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE BUT GMC SAID THIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. SOUNDS LIKE IT IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THEN THEY ARE ADMITTING. I GUESS SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE! TOWED VEHICLE TO MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. $690.00. SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET REIMBURSED FOR A DEFECTED PART! RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.

PASSENGER SEAT BELT WAS ON, WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND THE PASSENGER ATTEMPTED TO UNBUCKLE THE SEAT BELT IT WOULD NOT UNLATCH. AFTER A FEW JIGGLES IT CAME UNLOCKED AND NOW WILL NOT LATCH. WHEN TRYING TO BUCKLE UP, IT SLIDES IN BUT DOESN'T LOCK. *TR

ELECTRICAL ISSUES.. LIGHTS DIMMING, THEN ENGINE STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND ENGINE LIFTERS STARTED TICKING AND IS GETTING LOUDER... NO FAULT CODES WERE FOUND BY DEALER WHEN CHECKED... AND CANNOT REDUPLICATE ELEC. ISSUE AND STALL .. BUT HAS HAPPENED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES OVER A 2 YR PERIOD AND NOW THE LIFTERS ARE CLACKING VERY BADLY...MY VEHICLE GETS REG. OIL CHANGES ETC. AND ACCORDING TO ALL THE FORUMS THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE... A TSB BULLETIN HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED BY GMC BUT NO RECALL.. ARE THEY WAITING TIL SOMEONE DIES FOR A LAWSUIT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE A CODE FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM SHOWED UPON INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V154000 (FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE DOOR HANDLES ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE BECOME SO SHARP THAT WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR THEY CUT YOUR FINGER. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD OUR FINGERS CUT FROM SLIGHT TO VERY BLOODY. THIS APPEARS THAT IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT GM REFUSES TO DEAL WITH. *TR

DASH CRACKED ON CORNER OF WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS LOCATED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL EITHER PREVENT THE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN A CRASH, OR TEAR THE AIRBAG UPON DEPLOYMENT, OR WORSE, SHOOT PROJECTILES OF DASH TOWARD MY CHILDREN WHO ARE PASSENGERS. *TR

THE TOP COVER OF THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK ON THE HUMP ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIR BAG...GOD FORBID THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY. THAT COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. THE VEHICLE IS A 2009 GMC YUKON, WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY AND ADVANCES GM HAS MADE, I WOULD ASSUME THAT A SAFETY ISSUE OF THIS DEGREE WOULD WARRANT A RECALL OR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND RESPONSIBILITY FROM GM. *TR
