2011 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

TAMARA RECALL. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE 2016 AND STILL NOT RESOLVE. I AM ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY AND PCSING OVERSEAS. I HAVE TO SHIP MY VEHICLE AND THEY WILL NOT SHIP IT WITH AN UNRESOLVED RECALL. I AM NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO...I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND GMC AND THEY OFFER NO RESOLUTION FOR MY ISSUES.

THE SEAT CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING. MY CHILD WAS SLEEPING AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDER HIS BOOSTER SEAT AND HIS LEGS. I CONTACTED GMC AND THEY SAID THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND WE SHOULD CONTACT OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, THOUGH, WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIP (FOR THE INSPECTION), THEY SAW WHERE TWO WIRES WERE ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER AND THE SEAT HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE ARE MANY STORIES OUT THERE, I AM JUST NOT SURE IF PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THEM---OR IF THEY REALIZE THAT GMC MAKES SIMILAR CARS SO CADILLAC, SIERRAS, AND OTHER CARS COME FROM THE SAME MOLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED IN THE MIDDLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNTRUP BUICK GMC (4200 I-70 NORTH OUTER RD, ST. PETERS, MO 63376, (866) 504-7492) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,314.

DASHBOARD CRACKING THROUGH OUT THE TOP OF THE WHOLE DASHBOARD INCLUDING SURROUNDING THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS IN MULTIPLE TRUCKS AT THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS SHOWN PROOF

THE CAR SEAT WARMER IN THE BACK OF THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE OUR SEVEN YEAR OLD WAS ASLEEP IN THE CAR. HE WAS IN HIS BOOSTER SEAT. THE SEAT WARMER WAS NOT ON. (THIS WAS IN AUGUST 2018.) WE SMELLED A BURNING SMELL AND THERE WAS A SMOLDERING FLAME UNDER HIS LEGS. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, NOT IN MOTION. IT WAS IDLING IN A PARKING LOT.

NUMEROUS DASHBOARD CRACKS ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER AIRBAG. COULD CAUSE SPLINTERS OF PLASTIC IN CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

CAME OUT TO MY GARAGED YUKON TO FIND A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I NOW HAVE ANOTHER VERY LARGE CRACK IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE IS ALSO A SECOND CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG WHICH HAS CREATED A TRIANGLE PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT IS NEARLY LOOSE AND LOOKS LIKE IT COULD FALL IN THE DASH OR BECOME A PROJECTILE IF THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE GMC DEALER (BOB PALMER'S CHANCELLOR MOTOR GROUP, 2820 MS-15, LAUREL, MS 39440, (601) 651-4719) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY DASH BOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES AND IT HAPPEN AROUND A YEAR AGO BUT JUST LEARNED THAT IT MIGHT BE A MANUFACTURED DEFECT. IT STARTED FROM ONE DAY TO ANOTHER

2011 GMC YUKON DENALI HAS 2 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD POSING A SAFETY CONCERN. ONE CRACK IS AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE OTHER IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA OR GMC. THE CONCERN IS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND PIECES OF THE CRACKED DASH BECOMING PROJECTILES. I NOTICED THIS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN DECEMBER OF 2017
