TAKATA RECALL AND DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. 2007 GMC YUKON WAS PURCHASED USED WITH OVER 100K. SHORTLY AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2015 THE DASHBOARD LITERALLY CAVED IN WHILE DRIVING ON A PAVED STREET. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND SPEAKING WITH FELLOW YUKON AND TAHOE OWNERS, I DETERMINED THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND CONSISTENT IN TERMS OF CRACKING AREAS AND MAGNITUDE. I CALLED GMC AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONSIDER SUBSIDIZING A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COST BUT I HAD TO GET AN ESTIMATE FROM A LOCAL GMC SERVICE CENTER. AFTER CONTACTING THE GMC SERVICE CENTER I WAS TOLD A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WOULD APPLY FOR A REPAIR QUOTE, TO WHICH I DISAGREED GIVEN THE NEED FOR AN ESTIMATE ONLY. I SPOKE ONCE MORE WITH GMC STATING I WOULD NOT PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE REQUEST AND UNKNOWN REMEDY. AT THE PRESENT MOMENT THE AIR BAGS ARE ALSO UNDER RECALL BUT UNAVAILABLE. THE CRACKING DASHBOARD AND DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS CREATE A VOLATILE SAFETY SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY AND I. ALL THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN SHARED WITH GMC VIA A CERTIFIED LETTER, TO WHICH THEY SENT A LETTER STATING I SHOULD CALL IF MY REQUEST HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE CALL RESULTED IN A NOTICE THAT I ALONE AM FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE AND HAZARDOUS DASHBOARD AND NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE PROVIDED. I COMPLETELY ACKNOWLEDGE THE STATE OF THE WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THE SHEER NUMBERS OF THIS OCCURRENCE CLEARLY INDICATE THE DASHBOARDS ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS FLICKER THIS INCLUDES EVERY LIGHT OUTSIDE BEAMS INSIDE DASH EVERYWHERE. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S IN MOTION OR NOT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE FLICKERING IS A DISTRACTION TO OTHER DRIVERS INCLUDING YOURSELF. WHEN FOCUSING ON ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY START FLICKERING AND IT DISTRACTS EVERYONE DRAMATICALLY. I ALMOST WRECKED TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS AND HAVE TOLD MY DEALER SHIP "TRINITY AUTOMOTIVE" AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX IT. *TR

DASH CRACKED BY PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ABOVE DASH BOARD ON DRIVERS SIDE-CONTINUING TO GROW IN SIZE ON DRIVERS SIDE--REPLACE ONE ALREADY IN 2011 UNDER WARRANTY(CAR WAS 5YEARS OLD)- NOW FIVE YEARS LATER SAME CRACKS-- STARTED CLAIM WITH GM ASSISTANCE, WAS TOLD TO GO TO DEALER FOR PICTURES AND TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS A DEFECT OR MY FAULT-- SERVICE MANAGER PROCEEDED TO TELL ME WHEN I WENT IN THAT HE HAD THE SAME 2007 YUKON WITH THE SAME DASH CRACKS-A WEEK LATER I WAS TOLD SORRY YOUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY WE CAN DO NOTHING FOR YOU. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT EVEN IF THEY COULD DO SOMETHING THE PART WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE-- I CALLED THE SAME DEALERSHIPS PARTS DEPARTMENT AND GUESS WHAT I COULD GET THE REPLACEMENT THE NEXT DAY!! CALLED THE 800 NUMBER TO LET THEM KNOW--THEY SAID SORRY YOU WHERE TOLD THAT BUT STILL WE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. I PROCEEDED TO ASK IF THEY THOUGHT A DASH SHOULD ONLY LAST 5 YEARS, TO WHICH SHE SAID NO BUT STILL COULD NOT HELP ME. I HAVE OWN A CHEVY TAHOE, A CHEVY SUBURBAN AND NUMEROUS CHEVY VEHICLES- I THINK WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE LIKE THERES IT IS TIME TO TAKE MY MONEY ELSE WHERE!

MY 2007 YUKON DASH CONTINUES TO CRACK. I HAVE HAD DASH FIXED IN THE PAST AND ALWAYS PUT MY AUTO UNDER CARPORT OR USE SUN SHADES. MY DASH HAS CONTINUED TO CRACK AND IS NOW CRACKED WHERE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS.

CRACKED DASH AT AIRBAG AND ACROSS BOTTOM OF HUMP AT STEERING WHEEL. CRACK AT STEERING WHEEL KEEPS GROWING. ITS EMBARRASSING AND NOW MAKES A RATTLING SOUND.

MY 2007 GMC YUKON XL; SELF COMBUSTED WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE DROVE IT ON AN ERRAND, RETURNED TO OUR HOME, PARKED AND LOCKED THE VEHICLE. WITHIN 20 MINUTES OR SO, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, OFF, KEY WAS OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNATTENDED. LUCKILY, THE HORN BLEW WHICH ALERTED US TO THE FIRE. OTHERWISE, ADDITIONAL PROPERTY LOSS OR INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED. WE HAVE A SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO EVIDENCE (FROM OUR NEIGHBORS SECURITY SYSTEM) OF THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. WHILE I AM UNCERTAIN AS TO THE EXACT CAUSE; STATE FARM INVESTIGATED THE VEHICLE AND IS GIVING A SETTLEMENT CHECK FOR THE ESTIMATED VALUE. THE TRUCK WAS EQUIPPED WITH A "WASHER FLUID HEATER" AND THERE WERE TWO RECALLS BY GM BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF FIRE.

I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WHEN MY REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. THERE WAS NOTHING AROUND TO CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. IT JUST EXPLODED INTO 1000'S OF PIECES.

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE AIRBAG. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THERE WAS AN OPENING IN THE DASHBOARD.
