- Air bags
THERE TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR OVER 3 YEARS ON THE CAR I WENT TO GET IT REPAIRED DUE TO MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT A REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN FOUND FOR THE TAKATA RECALL.
- Air bags
LIKE THE OTHER 9000 PEOPLE IDENTIFIED ON FACEBOOK AMONG OTHER FORUMS, THE DASH ON MY YUKON IS CRACKED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PUTTING MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT. I WOULDN'T MIND SPENDING THE MONEY TO PUT A NEW ONE IN, BUT I DONT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE THE NEW DASH WILL LAST ANY LONGER. CRACKING HAPPENS RIGHT NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS INSTRUMENT PANEL.
- Structure › Body
MULTIPLE CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
- Service brakes
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC YUKON HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED DAILY SINCE 2016. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (THOMAS CHEVROLET, 1263 W BALTIMORE PIKE, MEDIA, PA 19063), BUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 8-4516506076 WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,300.
- Electrical system
ALL THREE OF MY DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER LOCK ELECTRONICALLY. THEY MUST BE LOCKED MANUALLY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED TO GM INDICATING THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ERROR. MY CAR HAS 85000 MILES AND MANY THAT HAVE COMPLAINED HAVE FAR LESS. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I REACHED OUT TO GM WITH NO SOLUTION OFFERED OTHER THAN THEM BASICALLY SAYING I AM ON MY OWN. THEY DID OFFER TO HELP ME FIND A LOCAL DEALER I COULD SHELL OUT MY MONEY TO. PLEASE HELP. THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS AT REST AND IN MOTION.

- Air bags
I BOUGHT A 2009 GMC YUKON HYBRID IN JULY 2016. THE DASH IS CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAGS. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE AIRBAGS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY GMC.
- Unknown or other
THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES WITHOUT ANY KNOWN CAUSE.
