2008 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

I WAS REAR ENDED AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 AM THIS MORNING. BOTH MY VEHICLE AND THE TRUCK THAT HIT ME LIKELY SUFFERED DAMAGE THAT WILL RESULT IN THEM BEING TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. I HAVE A MAJOR CONCERN ABOUT MY AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. I HAVE NOT YET READ THE POLICE REPORT, BUT THE DODGE RAM TRUCK THAT HIT ME WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT HIT MY YUKON WITH GREAT FORCE. THIS WAS ON A HIGHWAY (204TH STREET) IN ELKHORN, NE

I BOUGHT THIS SUV FROM LEGENDS AUTO SALE. AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I NOTICE THE ENGINE BAY WAS REAL RUSTY LIKE ITS BEEN IN WATER OR DRIVEN OVER LOTS OF WATER. I DIDNT GET A CAR FAX AT TIME OF PURCHASES BUT DID CAR FAX MYSELF , AND IT APPEARED THAT VEHICLE IS FROM NEW ORLEANS. WITH ALL THE DIRT AND GRIM COMING OUT OF VEHICLE ITS DIFFENTLY FROM NEW ORLEANS. SO FAR I REPLACED NEW PADS AND ROTORS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE SWITCH, NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. THE PROBLEM OCCURRING NOW IS THAT MY TRAC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER HALF HOUR OF DRIVING AND CAR SEIZES UP AND I'M UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT OFF ENGINE AND LET REST FOR HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR BEFORE LIGHTS GOES AWAY AND I'M ABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE BUT IT MIGHT BE DUE TO IT BEING IN THE FLOOD THUS CAUSING CORROSION AND RUSTING IN ALL PARTS OF VEHICLE. I DON'T HAVE DOCUMENTS ON ME AT THIS TIME AS I MISPLACED IT BUT CAN GET IT AGAIN AND UPLOAD IMAGE.

CPSC:I HAVE A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI WITH 80K MILES. ALL 4 EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED IN PREVIOUS YEARS. THE DOORS WILL CLOSE AND LOCK THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR ON OCCASION AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN AN EMERGENCY. ALSO THE INTERIOR OF EACH DOOR HANDLE IS COATED WITH A "CHROME" SURFACE COVERING THAT PEELS BACK AND HAS INCREDIBLY SHARP EDGES WHICH HAVE CUT ALL 5 OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS, THIS IS ALSO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH DENALI'S AND HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST. *BF

COMPLETE PERFORATION OF FRAME BY RUST, IMPACTING ABILITY TO SECURELY MOUNT FRONT ANTI-ROLL BAR. DISCOVERED IN MARCH OF 2016. GM HAS OFFERED NO RESOLUTION.

MY BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/L ALENZA TIRES ARE EXTREMELY DRY ROTTED. SO BAD THAT THE SIDEWALL CRACKED BAD ENOUGH TO LEAK AIR. TIRES STILL HAVE LOTS OF TREAD LEFT.

JUST LIKE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS, MY DASH HAS STARTED CRACKING RIGHT AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG. SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING FLAW SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY THAT HAVE DONE THIS IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE! MY VEHICLE IS GARAGED AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BESIDES THE DASH BEING CRACKED!

THE DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG BY GAUGE HOUSING ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THESE CRACKS ARE LARGE ENOUGH THAT THE ENTIRE DASH RATTLES FROM VIBRATIONS AND COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT THE PROPER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
