2010 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

FRONT DASHBOARD CRACKED FROM PASSENGER LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG TO DEFROSTING VENT - ABOUT 2.5" LONG. *JS

DISCOVERED A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD AT AIRBAG. CAR IS GARAGED AND PARKED IN COVERED PARKING AT WORK. SINCE MAY, 2 ADDITIONAL CRACKS HAVE BECOME APPARENT. *TR

NOTICED 2 HAIRLINE CRACKS/FRACTURE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL ON THE DASHBOARD. DASH NOW RATTLES. STEERING WHEEL ISSUE WAS RESOLVED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOT THESE DASHBOARD CRACKS. GOOGLE SEARCH SEEMS TO HAVE IDENTIFIED SAFTEY RECALLS WITH OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE THESE TYPES OF CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD, BUT NOT WITH THIS VIN. UNSURE WHETHER OR NOT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUES OR NOT AND DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS TO CLEARLY BE A DEFECTIVE ISSUE. AS OF TODAY, I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE OR NOT. *TR

DRIVING 40MPH IN TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF BY ITSELF, NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES AT THIS POINT, I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON WHILE I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS ACTING AS IF IT WAS STILL ON AND WOULD NOT RESTART, I STILL HAD POWER TO EVERYTHING AND THE DASHBOARD WAS DISPLAYING SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES. STABILITRACK, TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE REDUCED POWER AND ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR 2 DAYS. THIS SAME EXACT OCCURRENCE HAS OCCURRED AGAIN THIS TIME ON 4/27. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHILE PARKED ON 3/1 WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I AM HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT A GMC DEALERSHIP IN CARROLLTON TEXAS TODAY. *TR

ON A SNOW AND ICE COVERED HIGHWAY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH, I SUDDENLY GOT A "REDUCING ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY FOLLOWED BY A "SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM" MESSAGE. AS MY VEHICLE QUICKLY LOST POWER, TO INCLUDE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER GETTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN ON AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ANOTHER 2 MILES; THEN THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN A THIRD TIME BEFORE GETTING TO THE DEALER. I HAVE READ REPORTS FROM OTHER GMC YUKON DRIVERS AS FAR BACK AS 2001 WHO HAVE REPORTED THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, GMC HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DESPITE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. UNADDRESSED THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS HIGHLY LIKELY TO CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH AS A RESULT OF A VEHICLE CRASH. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE INITIATED IMMEDIATELY! *TR
