2011 GMC YUKON DENALI XL Unknown Or Other Problems

ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I BROKE DOWN DUE TO AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT I BROKE DOWN (STALLED OUT IN THE ROAD) DUE TO 2 LIFTERS COLLAPSING AND THE CAMSHAFT BEING DAMAGED. AFTER REPLACING ALL LIFTERS, THE CAMSHAFT, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES, AS WELL AS ANOTHER OIL PRESSURE SENSOR JUST IN CASE THE OTHER ONE WAS BAD I STILL HAVE LOW OIL PRESSURE. THIS COST $3,000.00! I LEFT THE SHOP AND BROKE DOWN ON MY WAY HOME WITH A FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT AND MESSAGE FLASHING. IT SHOOK SO HARD I THOUGHT IT WOULD EXPLODE IN THE ROAD AND THEN STALLED OUT! IT WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP WHERE IT CONTINUES TO SIT. ITS BEEN THERE 3 WEEKS. ITS BEEN AT THE SHOP LONGER THAN I'VE GOTTEN TO DRIVE IT. AFTER GOOGLING WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON AND GMC/CHEVROLET IS WELL AWARE OF THE FAULTY ENGINE. THOUSANDS OF POSTS ARE ON DIFFERENT SITES COMPLAINING HOW EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE PUT THEIR VEHICLE IN THE SHOP AND HAD THE REPAIRS DONE, THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE THAT CAUSING THE ISSUES AGAIN! THE MANUFACTURER IS WELL AWARE THEY ARE PUTTING LIVES AT RISK REPEATEDLY AND CAUSING FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS FOR THE CONSUMER BUT IT IS OBVIOUS THEY ARE CONCERNED ONLY ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE AND NOT LIVES.

MY 2011 GMC YUKON XL DENALI HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE IT WAS NEW. CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD, AND ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE SOURCES, IS THE RESULT OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CRACKS MAY BE MORE THAN JUST AN UNSIGHTLY COSMETIC ISSUE AND MAY PROVE PROBLEMATIC IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CRACKS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, INSIDE THE GARAGE. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND AVENUES. EACH TIME, I AM EITHER IGNORED OR TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT FROM UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER AND WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $1,000 TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. BETWEEN THE DASH BOARD CRACKS AND THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL, FOR WHICH A SOLUTION HAS YET TO BE ISSUED, I AM GRAVELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND INTEGRITY OF THIS VEHICLE.

MY 2011 GMC YUKON XL DENALI, DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED OUT OF NOWHERE I GOT IN IT ONE DAY AND IT WAS THERE I NOTICED IT, UP THE DRIVER SIDE HUMP ON THE DASHBOARD, AND BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHAT IF I GET INTO A WRECK PIECES OF DASHBOARD WOULD GO FLYING EVERYWHERE, I HAVE EVEN CONTACTED GMC ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY DON'T CARE, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GLUE THE DASH BACK TOGETHER BUT IT'S STILL SPREADING, THE MORE I DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE MORE IT SPREADS.

OUR YUKON HAS A CRACK ON THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, AND ALSO A VERY LARGE CRACK ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HUMP OF THE DASH. THIS CRACK CONTINUES TO LENGTHEN DAILY. WE HAVE REAL FEARS OF THE PLASTIC BREAKING APART INTO SHARP SHARDS IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I WORRY ABOUT MY TEENAGERS RIDING IN THE FRONT SEAT AS I DON'T WANT THEM INJURED. ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG BREAKING THE DASH INTO PIECES IF THE AIRBAG INFLATES. WE RECEIVED THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL OVER A YEAR AGO, AND ARE STILL WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT. WE ARE MEMBERS OF A FACEBOOK GROUP WITH 6,200+ MEMBERS, ALL WITH CRACKS IN GM VEHICLES IN THE EXACT LOCATION. GM DENIES THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND TRIES TO BLAME THE ISSUE ON CAR BEING IN THE HOT SUN, USE OF ARMOR ALL, ETC... BUT IT SEEMS TO ME IF EVERYONE HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WE ALSO OWN A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL WITH AN IDENTICAL CRACK AT THE AIRBAG CORNER.

CRACK IN DASH OVER PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG

DASHBOARD CRACKING AROUND AIRBAG AND WE ALSO HAVE A RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAG BUT NO REMEDY

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE AREAS. ONE PLACE IS AROUND THE AIR BAG . I AM CONCERNED THAT IN A COLLISION THE DEPLOYING AIRBAG WOULD SEND DASHBOARD DEBRIS THROUGH THE CABIN!

THE DASHBOARD IN FROM OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK IN IT. THE CRACK STARTS AT THE SEAM AND GOES ALMOST TO THE FRONT OF THE DASHBOARD. IT IS ABOUT 9 - 10 INCHES LONG. THE DASHBOARD HAS ALSO BECOME SEPARATED WHERE THE FRONT AND BACK PART COME TOGETHER IN THE MIDDLE. I HAVE READ WHERE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND COULD BE CONSIDERED A HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING CAUSING THE DASHBOARD TO BREAK APART AND SEND SHARP PIECES OF THE DASH FLYING THROUGH THE INTERIOR. I HAVE READ WHERE THESE CRACKS ARE VERY COMMON ON 2007 - 2013 GM TRUCKS AND SUVS. IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFLECT AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. I WAS QUOTED 1,600.00 TO REPLACE THIS BY A DEALERSHIP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE THAT I PAID IN EXCESS OF 60K FOR. YOU SHOULD FORCE GM TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM. A PICTURE OF MY DASH IS ATTACHED. I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE OF WHEN IT HAPPENED AS YOU CAN'T SEE IT WHEN SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. I DID FIRST NOTICE IT LATE THIS SUMMER OF 2016. WITH THE CRACK AND THE SEPARATION IT DOES VIBRATE AND RATTLE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. HERE IS A LINK TO A PETITION WITH ALMOST 10 THOUSAND SUPPORTERS.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO SEPARATE PLACE.

THIS IS NOW THE 2ND VEHICLE I HAVE PURCHASED WHERE THIS HAS OCCURRED. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD OF THE FULL SIZE GM TRUCK/SUV PLATFORM AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

DASHBOARD CRACKING THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2011 GMC YUKON XL DENALI HAS CRACKED NEXT TO THE AIRBAG WHICH WOULD POSE A GREAT DEAL OF HARM SHOULD THE VEHICLE BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND SPLINTER OR CAUSE A FAULT WITH THE AIRBAG.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT THE CORNER WHERE THE AIRBAG WOULD BE DEPLOYED. WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THIS CAR HAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS WILL TAKE PLACE. MY CONCERN IS WHETHER THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY AND NOT GET RIPPED BY THE SHARP EDGE OF THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD. THE DEALER WANTS $1000. TO REPLACE THE DASH THAT SIMPLY CRACKED FROM THE TEXAS HEAT. ANY STUDIES ON THIS? THIS JUST CRACKED WHILE SITTING PARKED. THE DATE OF APRIL 1, 2016 IS AN ESTIMATE.

Mileage: 99,000

I GOT INTO THE CAR TO CRANK IT AND HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND SAW A CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP OUT WITH THIS. I AM CONCERNED HOW THIS WILL AFFECT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ESPECIALLY WITH THE RECALL NOTICE THAT I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL FROM GMC STATING THAT MY FRONT AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE ALREADY AT RISK OF PUNCTURING IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL DURING DEPLOYMENT DUE TO THE AIR BAGS DEGRADING OVER TIME AND BEING EXPOSED TO HEAT AND HUMIDITY. FACTOR THAT IN WITH A CRACKED DASH WITH SHARP EDGES AND THAT EQUALS A DEADLY COMBO! THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THIS DASH. I WAS ONLY OFFERED AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR OUT OF MY POCKET THAT WAS OUTRAGEOUS!! PLEASE HELP.
