2012 GMC YUKON Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE DRIVING, THE SUN ROOF INADVERTENTLY EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT HEARD WIND BLOWING THROUGH THE SUN ROOF. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, HE NOTICED A HOLE IN THE SUN ROOF GLASS. THE CONTACT CALLED BRIAN HARRIS CHEVROLET AT (225) 910-6907 (15015 FLORIDA BLVD, BATON ROUGE, LA 70819) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALER WAS CLOSED AND HE WOULD BE CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

WILL FOLLOW UP WITH MORE INFO, I LIVE IN THE NORTH EAST AND HAVE SPOKEN WITH TECH'S AT GM DEALERS AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT ITS JUST A COLD WEATHER ISSUE SO GM WONT FIX THE ISSUE, MY VEHICLE HAS HAD 8 OR 9 DOOR HANDLES REPLACED THE FASTENERS INSIDE OF DOOR ARE PLASTIC AND WATER GETS IN THERE FREEZES AND CRACKS PLASTIC THEN DOOR HANDLE BASICALLY COMES OFF IN YOU HAND, GM REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND IT AND SOON WANTS TO CHARGE ME APPROX. 180 EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS AGAIN THEY HAVE REPLACE 8 OR 9 ALREADY AND ITS A 2012, I FEEL THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE AND A BASIC FAULTY PRODUCT, DESIGN ON GM'S PART THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX.

I HAVE A 2012 GMC YUKON DENALI. I'VE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I'M DRIVING AND THE TRUCK TURNS OFF/OR EXPERIENCES A "SHORT" FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE CHECKED ALL ELECTRICAL CABLES AND HAVE EXCHANGED BATTERIES TWICE (AS THEY "DRAINED"). A FEW MONTHS BACK MY DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING AS WELL, FIRST IT WAS A SMALL CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. LATER ANOTHER CRACK BY THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH HAD NOW FORMED A LARGE "V".

I AM THE ORGINAL OWNER OF MY GMC YUKON DENALI 2012 AND IT HAS BEEN GARAGED MOST OF ITS LIFE. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY DASH STARTED TO VIBRATE THEN I NOTICE A LARGE CRACK IN THE DASH JUST ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER. THE FACT I HAVE TAKEN SUCH GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. THE CARS VALUE IS DIMINISHED DRAMATICALLY DUE TO THIS VISIBLE DEFECT. I HAVE HEARD GM IS NO HELP ON THIS BUT IN MY OPINION GM'S DEFECT HAS CAUSED A DIMINISHED VALUE IN MY VEHICLE AND THEREFORE THEY ARE LIABLE FOR ANY REPAIR THAT IS NEEDED TO MY CAR TO BRING IT BACK TO THE CONDITION IT WAS BEFORE THE DEFECT WAS VISIBLE. THERE IS CASE LAW ALL OVER THE PLACE TO SUPPORT THIS.

WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON ACCELERATOR TO GET INTO TRAFFIC FLOW SOMETHING STICKS SO THAT THE ENGINE RUNS AT HIGH SPEED UNTIL YOU KICK THE PEDAL TWO OR THREE TIMES TO RELEASE WHAT EVER IS STICKING. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

THERE ARE TWO CRACKS ON DASH LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES JUST ABOVE PASSENGER AIRBAG . I AM WORRIED ABOUT PLASTIC PROJECTILES IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM AWARE OF SEVERAL THOUSAND OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME NATURE. I HAD SPOKE TO FAULKNER GMC TREVOSE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.THEY DID INFORM ME THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT REFUSED TO HELP DUE TO THE EXPIRATION OF MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THERE WAS NO TRAUMA TO VEHICLE. DASHBOARD IS JUST CRACKING. THE VEHICLE IS EXCEPTIONALLY TAKEN CARE OF AND GARAGE KEPT.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES. THE FIRST CRACKED HAPPENED AT ABOUT 24,000 MILES RIGHT ABOVE THE STEERING WELL. THE SECOND CRACK IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LEADING UP TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THAT HAPPENED AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. THE THIRD CRACK IS IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL IT TRAVELS UPWARD TO MEET THE FIRST CRACK MAKING IT INTO A Y SHAPED. THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. THE CAR IS PARKED IN A GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE IN THE MIDDLE ROW AND THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT BUCKLE IN THE THIRD ROW BOTH FELL APART MAKING THE BUCKLES UNUSABLE.

WHILE DRIVING CAR AT RANDOM TIMES IT WILL SHUTOFF AND YOU WILL LOOSE STEERING AND ALL ELECTRONICS MOMENTARILY AND THEN CAR WILL TURN BACK ON. IT ONLY DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING ON ROUGHER PAVEMENT. ONCE THIS HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN OFF THE CAR AND TRY TO START THE CAR THE KEY WILL NOT TURN ON ANY OF THE ELECTRONICS AND WILL NOT START THE VEHICLE. IF YOU CONTINUOUSLY TAKE THE KEY OUT AND REINSERT UNTIL AND THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START.

DASH IS CRACKED AROUND THE AIR BAG. WORRIED AIR BAG WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THIS IS A DEFECT WITH SEVERAL GM SUV'S AND TRUCKS. GM WILL NOT FIX

THE DASHBOARD OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS CRACKING AND SPREADING. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CRACK IS GETTING LARGER BY THE DAY.
