2007 GMC YUKON DENALI XL Complaints

DASH BOARD CRACKED BY THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, AND THEN CRACKED OVER THE BACK SIDE OF THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WE ALWAYS USE A HEAT SHIELD IN THE SUMMER AT WORK, BUT VEHICLE STAYS IN THE GARAGE WHEN NOT DRIVEN. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH GMC SUV'S

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. POSSIBLE RISK OF PROJECTILES IF IN ACCIDENT.

A LARGE CRACK APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2016, RIGHT ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. I USED SUPER GLUE TO TRY AND KEEP THE CRACK FROM GETTING LARGER. ANOTHER, SMALLER, CRACK OPENED UP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ON NOVEMBER 7, 2016, RIGHT ABOVE THE AIRBAG.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL IN 2014 AND NOW HAS 2 OTHER CRACKS ON PASSENGER SIDE LEADING TO AIRBAG THAT OCCURRED RECENTLY. CRACKS OCCURRED WHEN IN MOTION OVER SLIGHT BUMPS.

TAKATA RECALL TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL SINCE MAY 2016 AND NO REMEDY HAS BEEN OFFERED. IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN SINCE THIS IS OUR PRIMARY VEHICLE. GM SHOULD PROVIDE US WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL THE SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE TO FIX.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES I'M CONCERNED WITH THE FUNCTION OF THE AIRBAGS CAUSING A POSSIBLE MALFUNTION.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V240000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) SOFTWARE CALIBRATIONS CREATE A LOWER BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE THAN INTENDED IN LOW POWER USAGE MODES. MULTIPLE "RE-FLASHING" OF BCM REQUIRED AT GM DEALERS (SEE ATTACHED GM TSB). THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED/REPAIRED ON MY VEHICLE IN 04/14/08, 07/17/2012, AND 06/01/2016. THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE SOFTWARE PROGRAMING AND/OR HARD WARE OF THIS RELATED BCM. ADDITIONAL 2007 MODEL YEAR GM TRUCKS AFFECTED (SEE ATTACHED GM TSB).

THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED IN 4 DIFFERENT PLACES, LEFT SIDE OF GAUGE CLUSTER, LEFT OF CENTER SPEAKER, IN FRONT OF CENTER SPEAKER AND TO THE LEFT OF PASSENGER AIR BAG. I AM NOT SURE WHEN IT HAPPENED.

THE TOP OF THE DASH HAS THREE CRACKS, TWO BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL & GAUGE CLUSTER AND ONE BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOOR. IN RESEARCHING I SEE THAT THIS IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE COMMON ON THE TAHOE, YUKON, ESCALADE AND ASSORTED GM TRUCKS IN THE 2007-2011 RANGE. IN SOME CASES, MINE IN PARTICULAR, THE CRACKS HAVE GOTTEN QUITE LARGE AND JAGGED TO THE POINT THAT PIECES OF THE DASH ARE LOOSE AND COULD BECOME PROJECTILES OR AFFECT THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IT IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING AND GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. THIS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD FOR GM AND IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE I WILL NOT INVEST IN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT.
