Dashboard has been cracked since I bought it used (was only 2-3 years old at the time); ditto regarding door handles--the silverish cover has been peeled back since I bought it, occasionally causing cuts to hands on driver and passenger side when opening the door.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc yukon. While parked and/or driving at any speed, the chrome finish on all four of the interior door handles flaked and the factory edging was extremely rough. The contact's hand had been cut on the door handle due to the rough edging. In addition, the dashboard cracked and the plastic near the defroster had crumbled completely. The vehicle was driven to the dealer, but was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.

While driving on surface streets, the yellow ABS warning came on, "stabilitrack" light came on. The warning lights started dinging, the transmission slammed between gears, the lights came and went and the door locks were going up and down continuously. Lost power also, pulled off and shot off engine. Truck would not restart as electrical system was dead. Same thing happened 10k miles earlier. This has happened 2times and the car only has 53,000 miles. Repairs took over 10 days as the engine was not communicating with the car. Replaced engine control module

In april of 2013 I took my gmc into dealership because of the crack that started above my instrument panel and was traveling toward my airbag. The dealer said they were aware of the issue and that gm had repaired some but was no longer doing so. He also said that if they replaced the dash with a new one, it would do the same thing. The crack has continued to travel and now my airbag panel is raised on the dash. I contacted gm and they offered to split the cost of the repair at $400-$500 with no warranty on the repair. They agreed that it is a safety issue. My interior door latches also began peeling which left sharp edges of plastic (?)-my daughter sliced her finger opening the passenger side door from the inside. Gm at first refused to replace them in april of 2013 but as of today, offered to replace them at no cost to me.

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.

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.

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.

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.
