2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL Complaints

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CHROME IS PEELING OFF, AND IT CUT MY WIFE'S HAND TODAY. THERE ARE 3 OF THE 4 DOORS THAT HAVE IT PEELING, AND I AM WORRIED ONE OF MY CHILDREN WILL CUT THERE FINGERS ALSO.

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

MY DASH HAS CRACKED ABOUT 5 INCHES ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. A SEARCH REVEALS THIS IS SEEMINGLY A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY YEAR VEHICLE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD WAS SPLIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS SPLITTING DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BAG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,043. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

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.

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 SEVERELY CRACKED ON THE DASHBOARD SURROUNDING THE AIRBAG AND I FEAR IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THIS WOULD TURN INTO SHRAPNEL.

OUR 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL HAS DEVELOPED 3 SEPARATE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. ONE IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, ONE IS A VERY LARGE CRACK NEAR THE WINDSHIELD AND RUNNING UP OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ONE IS ON DRIVER SIDE NEAR LARGE CRACK AT INSTRUMENT PANEL. WE HAVE CONCERNS IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG EVER DEPLOYS, SHARP PIECES OF THE BROKEN DASH MAY BREAK LOOSE AND INJURE PASSENGERS IN OUR VEHICLE.
