2007 GMC Yukon Denali electrical problems

Filed Aug 15, 2018 · Airbags, Body · 77,000 miles · OR

When we purchased the vehicle approx. 3.5 years ago, it had a small crack in the dashboard. Last december, it was noticed that the crack had gotten much bigger, and now a second crack has been noted. This is becoming a major safety concern, as the dash may shatter in a front-end collision with airbag deployment. Upon doing research on;ine, I found that I am not alone. There are thousands of reports of similar issues among similar years and models. Please help me keep my family safe by requiring gm to provide a fix or replacement. Thank you!

Instrument panel is going out, one instrument at a time. First showing low oil pressure, stabilitrak warning, check engine, now it is the RPM gauge that isn't showing anything. Also have a huge crack in the top of the dashboard that's been there for about 5-6 years. I've seen online complaints off this issue.

My driver's side electric control panel stopped working abruptly. One morning, I got into my car and immediately noticed a burning smell. I turned the car on and tried to open the window. I was unable to open either the driver's side window or the passenger's side window. Additionally, I was unable to lower the back passenger window and the power door opener was not working on the driver's side. I called my local gmc dealer and they examined the car. They told me that water got into the casing in the electrical switch control panel causing an electrical short. They also stated that this was a problem with nissan suvs and isuzu suvs and was the subject of a re-call. However, since my SUV is a yukon denali, it is not eligible to be fixed under the re-call. They took the control panel apart and showed me a small white plug inside the control panel that was burned, brown and melted on the end. They disconnected this plug and told me that it was too dangerous to operate the car with it plugged in. I told them that I do not understand why they would not repair this obvious safety hazard simply because it did not occur on an isuzu or a nissan. They told me that, in fact, the yukon denali is similar to the recalled nissan models but they cannot fix the electrical short unless it is a specific subject of a re-call.

This has now happened several times since, at no particular speed. I will be driving and all of a sudden the stabilitrak lights and traction control lights come on, and the engine begins to run very hard and will not accelerate very quickly and cannot reach full capacity. This is somewhat scary as it has happened on the highway several times, as well as just driving around my residential area, always with my kids in the car. Usually once I turn the car off and leave it for a little bit, then restart it, the lights are off except the engine light will stay on. It seems to me that many people are having the same issue with this model and that gmc should be taking this safety concern very seriously as not being able to accelerate on the freeway is definitely a huge safety issue.
