2007 GMC YUKON DENALI Structure Problems

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!

HAVE A YUKON AND THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AT BOTH SIDES OF AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AND ABOVE THE GAUGE CLUSTER.THE PLASTIC IS VERY BRITTLE AND MY CONCERNS IS IF THERE WAS EVER A CAR WRECK AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IT WOULD SEND PLASTIC PROJECTILES THROUGHOUT VEHICLE WHICH THE VEHICLE IS USED TO CARRY MY 1 AND 2 YEAR OLD CHILDREN DAILY.I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A DEFECT OR A RECALL CONSIDERING ALMOST ALL THESE VEHICLES ALL CRACK IN THE SAME SPOT I FEEL IT WAS A POOR DESIGN BY GMC AND AT OVER 1000 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIXED IS JUST CRAZY . THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

THE DASH IS CRACKED AND BROKEN IN MULTIPLE PLACES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DASH. MOST CONCERNING IS THE CRACK NEXT TO THE AIRBAG PANEL. IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, WILL IT STILL WORK, AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE DASH WHEN IT EXPLODES OUT. THE CRACK WAS FIRST NOTICED LAST FALL AND JUST GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN.

2 CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI - BETWEEN THE SPEAKER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT ALSO MAKES A SQUEAKY RATTLING NOISE WHILE I AM DRIVING AS THE BROKEN PIECES BOUNCE. I DID NOTHING TO BREAK IT, IT CRACKED ON ITS OWN.

DASH BOARD CRACKS. WHILE DRIVING DASH IS SHAKING UP AND DOWN.

THE CHROME IS ALSO PEELING ON MY DOOR HANDLES. SUMMER OF 2015, I REPLACED THE INSIDE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE DUE TO A BROKEN BOLT. LASTLY MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON WITH NO DIAGNOSES (~3 MONTHS).

CHROME HAS BEEN PEELING OFF DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE. CUTS MY SKIN. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY GOING APPROX 55 MPH. I ENDED UP HYDRO PLANNING MY DENALI MAKES A 180 AND I'M FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HIT THE GAS TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE BUT MY ENGINE TURNED OFF. IS THIS NORMAL? *TR

MY 2007 YUKON DENALI DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT DUE TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER YUKONS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS, BUT THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIR BAGS WERE TO DEPLOY, THERE MIGHT BE SHARP PIECES OF FLYING PLASTIC DEBRIS ORIGINATING FROM THE CRACKED AREAS. YES, THE CRACKS ARE ANNOYING, BUT I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER OR ANY PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE STRUCTURAL INSTABILITY OF THE DASH. *TR

MY SUV WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW HAS A COUPLE OF CRACKS IN THE DASH BOARD NEXT TO THE AIRBAG SECTION. MY CONCERN IS IF THERE WOULD BE A ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED COULD CAUSE THE PLASTIC PIECES OF THE DASH TO BREAK OFF AND BECOME AIRBORNE AND INJURE ME OR A PASSENGER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD PUT OUT A WARNING ABOUT THIS AND REPLACE THE DASH OF EVERY VEHICLE AFFECTED. *TR

MY DOOR HANDLE ON THE REAR DRIVER PASSENGER SIDE HAD BECOME REALLY LOOSE. MY 5 YEAR OLD SON PULLED THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE HANDLE PRACTICALLY CAME OFF. THE DOOR HANDLE IS UNUSABLE AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. HERE IN HAWAII THE COST TO REPLACE THE PART IS RIDICULOUS. I PURCHASED A 2004 YUKON BRAND NEW AND LOVED IT. WHEN MY CAR WAS TOTALED BY A TREE DURING BAD WEATHER, I PURCHASED ANOTHER YUKON IN 2008, THIS TIME A 2007 MODEL. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL WHILE DRIVING, DEALER SAYS IT'S OK, HAD THE RIMS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE PEELING, JUST NOTICED THERE IS A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIR BAG IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE BUTTON FOR THE REAR WINDOW HAS FALLEN OUT AND NOW MY DOOR HANDLE HAS FALLEN OFF!!! I PAID TOP DOLLAR FOR MY CAR AND FEEL I PAID FOR A "SOUR LEMON". AMERICAN CAR WITH PARTS MANUFACTURED IN CHINA????? I THINK GMC SHOULD OWN UP TO THESE ISSUES AND HAVE IT RECALLED AS THE TRUCK IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I SEE RUSTED OUT BEATER CARS FROM THE 70'S STILL CRUISING AROUND YET ALL THE ORIGINAL DOOR HANDLES ETC... ARE STILL IN GREAT WORKING CONDITION. WHAT THE HECK!!!! I MAY NEVER PURCHASE A GMC AGAIN............ *TR

THE BACK DOOR HANDLES ON OUR 2007 DENALI ARE EXTREMELY LOOSE TO THE POINT THAT THEY ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY FALLEN OFF. THIS AFFECTS OUR DAY TO DAY COMMUTE AND SHOULD BE FIXED, WE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR A LUXURY CAR, THE HANDLES SHOULD NOT BE FALLING OFF. I AM SURPRISED THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE CONTACT ME, THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN OPENING THE DOORS FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR HANDLES WOULD BECOME DETACHED.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES ON EACH DOORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I BELIEVE IT COULD CAUSE MOISTURE TO AFFECT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UNDERNEATH THE DASH AREA WHERE THE CRACK IS. GMC DEALERSHIPS HERE WOULD NOT ASSIST IN REPLACE A KNOWN DEFECTIVE CHEAP PART. *TR

WENT TO OPEN DOOR AND HANDLE CAME OFF. DID NOT PULL ANY HARDER THAN NORMAL. THIS IS AFTER WE HAD TO REPLACE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES DUE TO FLAKING CHROME THAT CUT HAND. POOR QUALITY BOTH INSIDE DOOR HANDLE AND OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN JULY 2010 FROM A DEALERSHIP. THE INSIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLES HAD STARTED TO PEEL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS GOING TO REPLACE IT WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK, BUT AFTER LEAVING THEY HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH. THE HANDLES ARE PEELING MORE AND CUTTING OUR HANDS. THE BACK OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE COMING OFF AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE FRONT DASH IS CRACKED AND PIECES ARE COMING OFF. THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER FELL OFF. THE ARM REST ON THE BACK SEATS ARE COMING OFF. WE TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR VEHICLES. THIS IS A POORLY MADE VEHICLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

L DID THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS EVERYONE DOES WHO ENTERS THEIR CAR .. I OPENED THE DOOR HANDLE OF MY 2007 YUKON DENALI, THEN THE LEFT DOOR HANDLE POPPED LOOSE, AT 37K MILES .. THE HANDLE IS ABOUT 60% INTACT .. I CAN OPEN THE DOOR. HOWEVER MUST BE PULLED LIGHTLY.. I CANT AFFORD 250 TO GET IT FIX .. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 2 YRS. I M TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO FIX THIS ONLINE AND SAVE MONEY, BUT NOTICED MANY OTHERS 2007 + MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE .. THANK YOU .. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASH UP BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AREA. NOW IT HAS CRACKED ALL ON TOP WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS AND TEMPERATURE PANEL IS. I'M A PERSON THAT TAKES GREAT CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND AM WORRIED THAT THIS CAN CREATE A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM LIKE FAILURE IN THE READINGS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OR EVEN IN AN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THAT IF I HAVE A PASSENGER THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. I HOPE THAT I MAY GET SOME HELP WITH THIS. I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ,THESE THINGS HAPPEN. BUT THANK GOD I HAVE NOT AND SO THIS IS OF SOME CONCERN. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED 3 OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2007 YUKON DENALI DUE TO BREAKAGE. DRIVERS SIDE AND REAR DRIVERSIDE PASSENGER WITHIN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. THE FIRST ONE BROKE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TWO OTHERS WERE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. BESIDES THE EXPENSE, $200 EACH EVENT,THE INCONVENIENCE OF TAKING TIME OUT OF MY SCHEDULE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED IS FRUSTRATING. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI AND HAVE TWO FAILURES TO REPORT, FIRST, THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHICH IS CHROME IS STARTING TO FLAKE OFF AND HAS SEVERAL SHARP EDGES CAUSING SEVERAL CUTS TO MYSELF AND MY WIVES HANDS. SECOND, THE EXTERIOR DRIVERS SIDE AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF DENYING ENTRY TO MY VEHICLE. *TR

DOOR HANDLE - PASSENGER (FRONT) DRIVER (FRONT) INSIDE DOOR. CHROME IS PEELING CAUSING AN EXTREMELY SHARP EDGE. WERE REPLACED IN 2008 UNDER WARRANTY. CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. CAUSES DEEP CUTS. *TR

2007 DENALI WITH 22,000 MILES HAD A LIFTGATE FAILURE. AFTER A $78.00 DIAGNOSIS AT LOCAL DEALER THE REPAIR ESTIMATE WAS $450.00. ACCORDING TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL THE REPAIR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND FURTHER MORE BECAUSE WE PURCHASED IT USED IT WON'T BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE FROM GM EITHER. WHILE EVALUATING PROBLEM I NOTICED THERE IS NO EGRESS POSSIBLE FROM INSIDE WHILE PROBLEM EXISTS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION BECAUSE AN EMERGENCY THAT DISABLES TYPICAL EGRESS THROUGH DOORS WOULD LEAVE THE REAR LIFTGATE AS ONLY CHOICE TO ESCAPE FROM FIRE OR WATER FOR INSTANCE. *TR

INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE PEELING ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. AS DRIVER OR PASSENGER GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE RIDGED PLASTIC BEGINS TO CUT THE SKIN IN A PAPER CUT FASHION. THIS ISSUE STARTED O/A 1.5 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE OF VEHICLE (DEPENDING ON USE). PARTS WERE REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP AT CUSTOMERS EXPENSE. OLD PARTS ARE MAINTAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WITH CHROME TREATMENT BEGINS TO PEEL AND PEELING CHROME IS VERY SHARP RESULTING IN SOME SERIOUS CUTS TO FINGERS AND HANDS. POOR CHROMING PROCESS RESULTING IN PRODUCT FAILURE. DEALERSHIPS DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH ON THE ISSUE. NO OFFICIAL GM WARRANTY SERVICE BULLETIN AS OF YET. HANDLES NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
