GMC Yukon Denali 2009 — Reported problems

Transmission problems

The dashboard cracked

MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL ISSUED -NHTSA #21V050 - TRANSPORT CANADA #20591 - RECALL # N212328760 FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TAKATA INFLATOR-PRIORITY GROUP 6

My 2009 GMC Yukon Denali has a major safety issue. The hard plastic dash has multiple cracks, which is a huge safety concern in the case of an accident. The dash could explode inside the vehicle causing injury to me and/or other passengers. The dashboard could also interfere with the operation of the airbag due to multiple cracks being around the passenger air bag. I have reached out to GM customer service twice and both time they advised me that a manager will reach out to me but they never did. I’m hoping this report will make GM accountable for the vehicle defect they made and pay to fix/repair the dash.

Cracks in dashboard including crack up to passenger airbag. Truck has been garage kept since new,

I was driving around 55 miles per hour and applied the brakes. I had little to no brakes and had to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. Luckily there was no car in front of me or a collision would have occurred. I had multiple ABS light, service stabiltrak, service brake lights engage. It happened once more going to the next light. I pulled over and removed the negative battery cable and waited 2 minutes and re attached it. The brakes feel spongy. I have researched the forums for the electric hybrid models and there were multiple other vehicles with the same symptoms as mine. Dealership says there are no recalls for the vehicle, even though multiple other hybrids are having the same issues and wanted to charge me $135 diagnostic fee to check the brake system. This is a safety hazard and should be investigated by GMC

Since I've owned the hybrid yukon, I've had nothing but issues. GMC only made a limited amount of the hybrid models but due to the issues discontinued manufacturing them. why weren't the vehicles taken off the market? started with the jolting from a stop, to not wanting to go into reverse, check engine light, to hybrid battery not shifting into gear, last power steering locked while driving then not starting at all. had sat at the dealership for 4 weeks now sitting at another hybrid shop awaiting for the inverter converter control to be delivered and put in. have spent thousands in the last 2 months repairing trying to figure out issues.

THE NHTSA RECALL #16V381 WAS ISSUED MAY 27, 2016 CREATING A GM RECALL #2049151. GM'S STATUS IS "INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". ITS NOW 4 1/2 YEARS LATER. TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC, A DECISION MUST BE MADE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE/RISK RELATING TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS.

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST, AFTER CROSSING OVER A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS. SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON DASH. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WORKED FINE. HAPPENED A 2ND TIME AFTER HITTING A POT HOLE. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON BUSY STREET, AND COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST MAKES THIS VERY UNSAFE

WELL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON I CHANGE THE OIL IS STILL ON THE BATTERY KEEPS DYING I'VE ALREADY BOUGHT THREE NEW BATTERIES NOTHING IS WORKING I'LL STILL COME OUT THE CAR IS DEAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS POPPING ON AND OFF THE WHEEL THE WHEEL THING KEEPS POPPING IN AND OFF I BOUGHT NEW TIRES IT'S STILL POPPING ON AND OFF I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG

WE JUST TOOK IN TO HAVE VEHICLE LOOKED AND AND SAID IT WAS FIRST THE ELECTRICAL AND NOW IS THE MEMBRANE OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE REMOTE START AND ENGINE LIGHT TO NOT WORK. ALSO CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CUT OUT DUE TO A PROBLEM IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. LOOKING UP THE VIN I SEE SOME OF THESE VEHICLE HAS THIS ISSUE BUT DOESN'T SHOW UNDER MY VIN. ALSO HAVE BEEN TOLD USING TONS OF OIL AND THIS HAS BEEN SEEN WITH THE GMC YUKONS. WE JUST HAD A VERY EXPENSIVE VISIT TO THE SHOP AND WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS PARTICULAR ISSUES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLES VIN. YOUR RESPONSE WILL BE APPRECIATED.

I WORK IN A DEALERSHIP AND PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED IN APRIL 2016. AT THE TIME IT HAD SMALL CRACKS THAT EXTENDED FROM THE DASH AIRBAGS ABOUT 1" OR SO TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACKS ARE NOW QUITE LARGE. IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY, THE PLASTIC FROM THE DASH WOULD ALSO BECOME AIRBORNE. THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN TO MYSELF WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS ANYONE WHO MAY SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT, INCLUDING MY GRANDCHILDREN. THESE CRACKS ARE NOW ABOUT 1/4" IN WIDTH AND ABOUT 3" LONG AND EXTEND FROM THE EDGE OF THE AIRBAG AND END AT THE DEFOGGER VENTS UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT AS WELL. IT WOULD BE TO GM'S ADVANTAGE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS NOW, RATHER THAN WAIT UNTIL THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS. I WILL FORWARD PICTURES IF YOU REQUEST. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

GAS PEDAL STICKS WIDE OPEN AND HAVE TO TRY TO PULL IT BACK UP AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE IT GET IT UNSTUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES IN ONE MONTH. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND LUCKILY NOT TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF US AND WE WERE GOING STRAIGHT.

WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION THE CAR BECAME LIMP/SLOW AS THE ENGINE WOULD SLOW DOWN. WE HAVE HAD 2 INSTANCES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL REDUCE SPEED TO A HAUNT. THE CAR BOTH TIMES WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED. FIRST ONE THE MODULES MELTED DUE TO THE HYBRID BATTERY AND OTHER WAS A FAILED THROTTLE. WE ARE NOW DEALING WITH MELTED SPARK PLUGS WHICH WERE ALL COMPLETELY REPLACED AND FAILED AGAIN ONE MONTH LATER AND WHILE THE CAR WAS DRIVING IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AGAIN!

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.

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING A CRACK AT THE EDGE OF THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY QUOTED A REPAIR PRICE OF 1800. THEY ADMITTED THAT A CRACKED DASH HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN GMC YUKONS. THE CRACKS BEGAN IN 2013 AND I HAD JUST OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS. I TAKE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD CARE OF IT AND THE REST OF THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE CRACK IS CONCERNING AROUND THE AIR BAG BECAUSE IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED DURING AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY OF SHARP DEBRIS CAUSING INJURY.

CRACK DASH BY THE AIRBAG. THE DASH HAS A LOT OF CRACKS AND SOME ARE BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG

TAKATA RECALL - CALLED DEALERS IN PHX AREA AND CALLED GM. THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. NOTICE HAS BEEN RECEIVED SINCE 2016

I HAVE CALLED TO GET APPOINTMENT FOR NEW AIR BAGS 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY KEEP PUTTING ME OFF , MY LOCAL GMC DEALER WILL NOT FIX MY AIR BAGS.

TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK TUBE BROKEN. NOT SURE WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT WAS NOTICED BY MY FATHER ABOUT A WEEK AGO WHEN HE WAS LOOKING THINGS OVER. I JUST GOT THE TRUCK USED FROM A DEALER IN SEPT.

TAKATA RECALL IS MY ONLY COMPLAINT. TO DATE, GM HAS NOT REMEDIED THIS PROBLEM GM SAYS MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT I GUARANTEE THE CEO OF GM IS NOT RIDING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.

'TAMARA RECALL' RECALL ON PASSENGER AIR BAG IN 2016. NEVER GOT IT FIXED BECAUSE THEY NEVER HAD A REPLACEMENT. EVEN ON 8/29/2018 CHECKED TO SEE IF THEY HAD A REPLACEMENT FOR THE 2009 YUKON WHICH NO. AS OF TODAY, JANUARY 08, 2019 NO REPLACEMENT FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SO FAR.

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.
