2010 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - HERITAGE GMC IN ROCKWALL, TX (75087) STILL DOESN'T HAVE AIRBAGS THAT THEY CAN PUT IN TO REPLACE MINE.

THE DASH PANEL IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND COULD AFFECT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DURING A CRASH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE CAUSE OF THE CRACKS ARE DUE TO A COMBINATION OF THE FLEXING OF THE AUTOMOBILE, LACK OF PROPER SUPPORT AND HEAT.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER INFLATOR; 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 MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THEY WERE CURRENTLY CONDUCTING TESTS REGARDING THE VEHICLE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THAT THE CONTACT WOULD RECEIVE A SECONDARY LETTER AROUND AUGUST OF 2017. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

2010 YUKON XL SLT 4WD WITH 5.3L V8 AT 122,000 MI. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THEN CHECK STABILITRACK, THEN ENGINE POWER REDUCED.

DUAL CRACKS ON DASH. ONE BY AIR BAG AND THE OTHER BY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. JUST STARTED THE CAR ONE DAY AND THE CRACKS APPEARED. NO CRASH NO CHEMICALS WERE USED.

OUR 2010 GMC YUKON XL HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. LIKE MANY OTHER GMC TRUCK OWNERS OUR DASH CRACKED RIGHT NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT IS GETTING LARGER AND HAS STARTED TO EXPOSE THE COMPONENTS UNDERNEATH THE DASH/AIRBAG COVER. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NEWS CHANNELS AND A LAW SUIT HAS APPARENTLY BEEN FILED IN FLORIDA. HOPEFULLY THE DEALERSHIP OR GM WILL REPAIR.

DASHBOARD CRACKED ABOVE STEERING WHEEL AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY - PARKED.

DASHBOARD CRACK AT AIR BAG. CRACK RUNS FROM AIR BAG TO AIR VENT AND HAS CAUSED DASHBOARD TO SAG AND DROP. CONCERNED DEFECT MAY AFFECT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

AT APPROX. 60,000 MILES I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASH ABOVE MY CONTROL PANEL. I KNOW HAVE 2 MORE NEAR THE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IS AIRBAG WAS EVER TO DEPLOY...

OVER A MONTH AGO I NOTICED A HUGE CRACK ABOVE STEERING COLUMN, THE RAISED PART. KNOWING IT WAS NOT A USER ERROR, I WAS PLANNING ON CONTACTING GMC. LAST WEEK I NOTICED ANOTHER CRACK ON LEFT SIDE OF AIR BAG. I DECIDED TO LOOK ONLINE AND SEE IF THIS HAPPENED TO OTHERS. AND YES IT HAS. THERE ARE SEVERAL YEARS AFFECTED, 1993, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF GMC OWNERS WHO HAVE CONTACTED GMC AS I HAVE JUST DONE, WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M VERY VERY UPSET, FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED IN GMC. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET TO GET THIS FIXED AS IT IS GMC'S RESPONSIBILITY! THE SAD THING IS IT WILL TAKE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT FOR THEM TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION.
