I have the inevitable cracked gmt900 dashboard by the airbag cover. There are 2 cracks in the dash where the airbag cover is held in place as well as another crack above the steering wheel hump. I've contacted gm regarding this and they have not offered to repair it. There should definitely should be a recall, I don't exactly know how unsafe the cracks are by the airbag cover but essentially every 2007-2013 tahoe, yukon, escalade, suburban, sierra, etc... Has or will have the exact same cracks.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc yukon. The contact stated that the driver's side dashboard exhibited several cracks near the speedometer gauge. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc yukon. The contact stated that the chrome coating on the front and rear driver and passenger's side door handles were peeling. As a result, the contact and four additional passengers sustained lacerations to the hands while attempting to open the doors. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technicians stated that the door handles would have to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Rear hatch/lift gate has no manual handle to open. When unlocking power locks rear hatch will not open, there is no way to open lift gate from inside or outside of vehicle. If an accident would happen there would be no way out of rear of vehicle. Rear hatch will not open at all, it is all electronic and will not open. This is a common problem for all gm SUV's. Have contacted gmc and they don't seem to about issue.
Dash board crack at airbag compartment. Dealer agreed to fix due to safety concern if airbag were to deploy. Dealer said gm has acknowledged that every 2007-10 gmc truck and SUV dash will crack due to defective inferior part. Dealer charge to me was $100. I feel that this should be a recall issue. According to the hundreds of online complaints on this gm dash crack issue I was lucky to only pay $100, many others were not so fortunate and still have these dangerous parts in their cars. The replacement dash is the same defective part as the original, the dealer told me to expect it to crack again in about two or three years.
Dashboard cracked on the passenger side at the airbag compartment, concerned that it may cause airbag to malfunction.
3 months after buying vehicle in sept of 2011. Chrome door handles on passenger side are peeling and cracking and slicing fingers open when trying to open door. About 8 months ago, dashboard beginning to crack around passenger side air bag area.
Defective dashboard: the dashboard has cracked above the instrument cluster on the driver side of the vehicle. It has also cracked behind the airbag on the passenger side of the vehicle. I was working with [xxx] service advisor at freeway chevrolet in chandler, az.. He admitted that this is a defective part and many of these dashboards come in cracked regularly. They refuse to give any replacement assistance. My main concern is if the airbag deploys and gets caught on the cracked dashboard. Below is a link to a facebook page with consumers that have the same issue with their gm product. Http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/251892298253/permalink/10151437659298254/?comment_id=10151439619973254 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Defective dashboards installed by gm create a safety hazard. Cracks occurred on drivers side (hump above steering wheel) and cracks in dash on both sides of airbag. If airbag deploys cracked pieces of dash could cause harm to driver and passengers in vehicle. Gm is aware of this well known problem/defect and it is very widespread with thousands or more gm customers having the same issue yet gm refuses to replace defective dash for customers which is ultimately putting gm customers and their passengers in danger.
Drivers side door handle chrome is peeling off and my wife sliced her finger on the interior door handle. This is a known issue as I had also cut my hand on my 2007 avalanche. Another issue on my yukon is that the dash has cracked for unknown reason around my airbag which could propose a serious issue since it surrounds the passenger airbag also similar to a 07 avalanche I have owned. If you google there are hundreds of owners with the same issues and nothing had been done about it.
I have consulted with many others who have experienced this issue as well. General motors fails to acknowledge that there's a quality concern or that there's a potential safety concern with these vehicles. This not only affects gmc yukons, but chevrolet tahoes and suburbans as well. The dash board is made of hard but brittle plastic. The dash boards tend to crack over time, especially near the passenger air bag opening, leaving sharp "dagger like" pieces of dash board material loose. In the event of an airbag deployment, there's a risk of these pieces being propelled by the air bag and injuring occupants of the vehicle. I've heard of this affecting vehicles from as little as 1 year old. General motors has refused to acknowledge the issue and has blatantly stated that if it were a safety problem, "the government would do something about it". Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc yukon. The contact stated that there was a crack in the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer confirmed that there was a crack in the dashboard. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 114,000.
Dashboard has cracked significantly in two locations one of which is by the front passenger airbag. Also, the interior and exterior door handles have peeled and cracked. Specifically, the interior handles have peeled to the point of causing damage to the driver/passenger hands upon usage.
I noticed an approximate 4'' crack on my dash between the windshield and steering wheel hump. I then noticed a similar crack emerging near the top left portion of the front passenger side air bag. I thought maybe the employees where I get my car wash were applying too much pressure. However, after looking online to buy a new dash, I found that I was among many gmc owners that have the same issue. I dont think it is a coincidence that we all have the same cracks, in the same location on the dash. Also, the chrome plating on both my driver and front passenger inner door handles is peeling off. I heard that exposure to the sun may be a cause, however, my two front windows have had 5% tint on them since I bought it. Also, I just got my vehicle back from the dealership because of check engine light issues. The problem is fixed for now, however, after researching online it seems like there are hundreds of gmc yukon owners experience very similar issues with their vehicle's engine. I keep reading about the "reduced engine power" and "service stabilitrak" warnings.
There is a crack in my dash on the left corner of the passenger airbag and another one on the left side of the steering wheel hump. These cracks cause the dash to rattle and vibrate a lot while the vehicle is being driven, which is very distracting and they also leave exposed, sharp edges. I am concerned that the crack could compromise the airbags functions. We have only owned this vehicle for 6 months. There were no cracks when we purchased it. The vehicle was in very good condition. After we noticed the cracks on sunday, I started researching how to fix the problem. Our local gm dealership was not very helpful. I contacted gm directly and they are not willing to replace the dash. I looked online and found numerous people who have the exact same problem in their 07 yukons and tahoes. It seems to be a trend! I found a site where others have posted their problems and the results they got from gm. Several people have been fortunate enough to get the dash replaced for free of charge. I was not that lucky. I feel that this issue needs to be looked into further. I do not feel that I should have to pay to replace a defect that so many vehicles have. Please help me! Thank you!
There is a significant crack in the dash connecting the air bag component to the body. The first crack was found back in february and now there are 2 more cracks - one more on the air bag connection and one above the cluster dome. My fear is that if the airbag is to deploy, the sharp edges resulting from the defective dash would result in significant injury even if it is a minor crash. I believe this is a huge safety issue.
The interior, driver side door handle on my 2007 gmc yukon is defective. The chrome laminate that covers the plastic handle is peeling on the top seam of the handle causing sharp edges to be exposed to my hand every time I open the door. I have contacted the dealership and they are saying that the "special coverage recall" is only good for 100,000 miles. I have 118,000 miles on my yukon and the problem is just now surfacing. I have contacted gmc directly for a resolution, which has been escalated to the district specialist in the area. This poses a continual hazard to me, since I have already cut my hand once from the problem. The cut was minor, similar to a paper cut, but a cut nonetheless. I do not feel that the recall should be limited to vehicle owners with less than 100,000 miles that are experiencing this problem.
The plastic dash cap which covers the electrical, instrument cluster and holds the airbag is cracked. Currently there is only one crack approximately 4 inches long which is located over the instrument cluster hump. My concern is that the dash cap will continue to produce new cracks around the passenger air bag as other yukon owners have experienced. If the vehicle is involved in an accident the cracked brittle dash pad could shatter and impact and injure someone in the vehicle.
Last fall, 2010, I noticed that the interior chrome door handles were chipping. They chips were very sharp. I took it to the dealer they said that there was nothing they could except replace them at my expense. I was cut yesterday, 10/1/2011 on my handle. This is the federal safety agency pe09044.
Sharp cracks appearing in dash next to passenger air bag and left rear top of the instrument panel.
I own a 2007 gmc yukon and the dashboard cracked in two separate places and now fell in on one side. I contacted the dealer and they told me that this wasn't a recall item, however when I research this on the internet I found a number of other complaints about the same problem with the same type of vehicle. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The interior chrome handles are peeling, I have cut my fingers while exiting the vehicle. I am a little concerned that this will happen to my young children and require a trip to the doctors.
Summary: 2007 gmc yukon. Interior door handles. Chrome plating has separated from the top where handle is grabbed. Handles are razor sharp and care is needed when opening door otherwise injury can and has occurred. I kind of disregarded this, later we received a letter in the mail stating we should take it to a dealer for repair!! Any how what I am extremely worried is with my new problem ... In early february we arrrived from out of town, I was driving another car... I jumped in my yukon ready to take my kids to baseball practice I had just driven about 5 miles when my truck read reducing engine time and it would not let me accelarate above 20 or 30 miles dont remember was tooo scared... I managed to pull over and turned the car off and on again after a few of those I managed the courage to drive slowly back home... I waited for my husband to come home asked him to take my car for a drive and magically it started just fine, after a few days, the same thing happen but now this time it shut off and while I was dropping my kids off at school right in front , where there are kids crossing and cars going!! Could have cause a serious injury. Had a mechanic look at it, said he needed to clean sum things said there are many people having these problems his buddy worked at coachella valley pontiac gmc and that dealers really dont know what the problems are... Worked fine for bout a month and this morning the samething happened only this time it didnt turn off it : reduced speed and I was not able to pull over as there was no room to so I managed to get to a stop sign when I got there and stopped my car started shaking I was so scared, I had no idea what to do turned the car of on of on... Nothing I managed to drive to a side of the road meanwhile my car is shaking like crazy... This needs to be fixed !! I think gmc needs to act now I m scared to drive my car, im even thinking of having it towed to gmc for repair!!
The chrome metal covering the inside door handles of my yukon has cracked and is separating from the handles. The sharp chrome metal injured my wife by slicing her finger as she exited the vehicle. My daughter previously ran her foot on the back seat handle and cut her foot. This is an obvious material defect and should be replaced. This is dangerous.
I own a 2007 gmc yukon xl and the passenger and driver door chrome handle is peeling off and I got my finger cut as I tried to exit on the driver side door a couple of times . I just put tape around it but I think that it should be fixed it's a hazard and danger to have that happened.
2007 gmc yukon. Interior door handles. Chrome plating has separated from the top where handle is grabbed. Handles are razor sharp and care is needed when opening door otherwise injury can and has occurred.
My 2007 gmc yukon's chrome interior door handles are peeling. A co-worker of mine and girlfriend were cut by the peeling plastic. Both cuts were deeper than your average paper cut and was very painful. This was on the passenger door, then I was cut on the driver side weeks later. Gmc would not replace as my mileage is out of warrant and they wanted to charge $340 to replace!! Extremely costly and frustrating for a dangerous non-repair.
I have a 2007 gmc yukon and both inside door handles (front and passenger) have split at the upper seam of handle. This caused me to cut my hand on one occasion due to the driver side handle. I have since placed duct tape over both handles where the seams have split, so that nobody will get cut leaving the vehicle. Vehicle is out of warranty, so I have not taken it to a dealer.
Silver covering where it was molded is peeling and has cut me & my wife. This has happened too all inside doors.
