Read complaints for GMC YUKON (2012)
I was driving and slowed down upon approaching speed bumps and going over speed bump my dashboard cover cracked. There was no warning after it cracked the more i drove the more it cracked i am currently buying a dashboard cover to go over the cracked dashboard.
The dashboard is cracked on driver side with plastic pieces falling down into dash, dashboard is also cracked on passenger side on the corner of the airbag. This is a known issue and i want it fixed. I feel that the airbags ability to deploy on passenger side is compromised if an accident occurs. I bought this vehicle with thoughts of being safe for me, my wife and two small children.gm has said they are not going to fix it, this is my last plea for help. Replacing is expensive but feel like it's defect in vehicle design(evident by how many complaints i found). If there is a accident in this vehicle and airbag fails i will hold gm accountable for any harm caused to my family.
Cracked dashboard.
Two weeks ago, a crack in the dashboard near the passenger air bag suddenly appeared.in doing some research, i have found that many other people have had a similar experience. This problem seems to have affected the following models: gmc yukon, cadillac escalade, gmc sierra, chevrolet silverado, chevrolet tahoe, chevrolet suburban, and chevrolet avalanche.my concern is with the fact that this crack is very close to the passenger airbag and is a safety concern. I am also concerned that the airbags may not work properly when needed because of this defect.
There are two cracks on dash located on both sides just above passenger airbag . I am worried about plastic projectiles if involved in an accident. I am aware of several thousand other complaints of the exact same nature. I had spoke to faulkner gmc trevose about this issue.they did inform me they were aware of the problem and that they had several other complaints but refused to help due to the expiration of my bumper to bumper warranty. There was no trauma to vehicle. Dashboard is just cracking. The vehicle is exceptionally taken care of and garage kept.
Dash is cracked by airbag and could cause deployment delay.
Dashboard cracked spontaneously from top edge to window edge over odometer and a small crack at passenger airbag.
The entire front dash is beginning to separate. There is a crack in the dash where the airbag is located. It appears to be caused from the airbag.
My dash is cracking and some of those cracks are right near the passenger air bag. I'm concerned during a crash if the air bag is deployed,the dash could splitter causing fragments to fly at occupants faces and/ or puncture the air bag rendering it useless.
My vehicle is part of the takata airbag recall. David welch at nashville beaman gmc told me it was "up to me" if i drive the vehicle - i am in group 10 for it to be fixed and he does not know when that will be. Case was made with gmc - case # 9-6579504849 spoke with corrine - she quoted several times that gmc stands behind the safety of the airbags and they are doing the recall only because a judge told them to. I repeated multiple times that i am concerned about the safety of my family and that my 16 year old is often in the front seat.she again stressed gmc stands behind the safety and she does not have any idea when my vehicle will be fixed.i feel this is not a safe practice. Other dealers (for example lexus) have given loaner cars - for up to a year - and have done much more to insure the safety of their drivers.gmc leaving safety "up to the driver" is not safe practice.
While working on an airbag warning light i encountered 2 distinct problems with my airbag and vehicle system.1. The main underhood fuse panel on my vehicle has portion of oxidation on the fuses themselves. This oxidation is causing fuses to appear intact but are causing the circuit to open. This was the root cause of my airbag system to not be operating properly.2. While diagnosing the airbag system, i was cautious about unpluggin the battery during any troubleshooting that i was performing. But, at the end of the diagnosis period and all modules/system were reconnected to electrical mating connectors i reconnected the battery and started the vehicle to cool the interior. The central airbag module which is located in center console was already electrically connected but not mounted. When the module was moved into position and the mounting points of the module touched chassis ground of the vehicle the side curtain airbags and front seat belt squibs deployed. It apperas to me that the ground of the module and the vehicle common wire are not internally connected. This apparently may cause a floating circuit in the airbagmodule that when chassis ground (exterior mounting surface of the module) has a potential change, the airbags may go off inadvertently. The concern here is that corrosion on older vehicles may cause this chassis ground to be compromised and cause random airbag deployments to occur. Vehicle was stationary. Bodily injury could have occurred if occupant was positioned differently.
Large crack in dash at corner of passenger air bag cover appeared in sept 2013. Another large crack appeared over steering wheel column in august 2014. I have researched and found that this is an inherent defect in several gm models since at least 2007 and that gm may offer to pay half of the replacement fee. I am concerned that, if the passenger air bag were to deploy, the plastic would shatter at the cracked area and act as shrapnel.
The dashboard is cracked around the passenger airbag and i think this is a safety hazard.
Takata recall -i found no record of recall but passenger airbag warning light is on as well as cracks on the dashboard around where the airbags would deploy.heated seats malfunction and turn on and are unable to be turned off.fuel tank mileage to empty unreliable. Gauge can be at quarter tank and say 50 miles to empty and stall due to being out of gas. Gas gauge issue changes while driving...on road trips the gas gauge will suddenly change and say there is more gas in it than there actually is.
Noticed a crack on dash by airbag system shortly after purchase .was told by dealership that i would have to pay almost $1,000 to repair even though vehicle was purchased as gm certified. As of yesterday, the crack is much larger and appears to be separating at corner of airbag assembly area on passenger side of dash. This has to be considered a safety concern. Please advise.
I was leaving a store and vehicle stalled out and lost of all electric in vehicle and was almost hit by on coming vehicles! would go dead and start again by itself but as i tried to accelerate it would continue to stall as if it was shutting down! i lost all control of the vehicle! once i pulled of the road and stopped vehicle start to flickering so i sat for a bit and when it stop flickering i tried continuing home! cut the vehicle off in park tried to start it back with no response but as i sat i tried it again and it finally started but still flickering!! please help i have heard this is a ongoing problem for many of the vehicle owners!! this to me is a very serious dangerous problem!!
The motor that opens and closes the trunk has burned out twice already. There is something in the system that will make the motor get stuck and burn out until it stops working. We have tried replacing it twice, and the same thing happens. Our trunk won't close now and it remains open and unlocked.

When driving it sometimes begins to hesitate reduce power the traction and stability and engine light comes on. When this happens the rpm gauge as well stops working. If i pull over on side of road and turn off and restart most times the ignition will hang and keep trying crank the vehicle. It's hesitant to crank when this happens and sometimes cranks and then immediately dies. It will shift hard just before powering into a reduced power mode. If you turn off restart turn your wheel all the way left and then all the way right and crank it will sometimes make the lights go off and you think reset but as soon as you start driving it happens again. I understand this is a problem a lot and i mean a lot are having so not sure why this isn't being investigated and recalled. Most say no matter what they have repaired or replace the problem still exist so there is a root that's creating the problem that needs to be found and addressed by general motors! forgot to mention when this happens sometimes the brake pedal as well gets really hard! this a problem that's been continuous off and on since i've owned the vehicle.
Power lift gate malfunction.the power lift gate struts failed which caused the lift gate to open only 1/3 of the way before closing unexpectedly.sometime it would open all the away, the power arm would then disengage causing it to unexpectedly close.sometime it would close as "dead weight" with enough force to seriously injure an adult and possible kill a child or pet.when i took my vehicle to the dealer, i was told the struts needed to be replaced.i have had this vehicle for two years.i purchased it as certified used.i was charged $415 for the repair.unfair as this vehicle is only four years old!further, i authorized the work at approximately 4:45pm, my vehicle was complete by 5:30pm the same day.i was charged two hours labor at $125 per hour.how is that fair?my vehicle was stationary when this happened, repeatedly. I look forward to your response.other than this, i love my gmc!!!!!
Lifter failure.hoping no camshaft damage.3 weeks waiting on parts that apparently can't be found.was driving approx 35 mph when horrible ticking noise occurred.quickly assessed nothing in wheel well.noise coming from engine.limped car directly to mechanic as feared more damage or complete engine failure if driven more miles. Since become aware of issues with this engine and that changes were made in 2014.less than 90k miles on the car.
When filling the fuel tank with fuel the pump constantly shuts off due to pressure in the fuel tank not being released.took this in to the gmc dealership and had the fuel tank and various component replaced under warranty.the problem did not go away.it does not matter what gas station i fill up at either. It can take up to 20 minutes to fill up the fuel tank due to the pump constantly shutting off due to the pressure in the fuel tank not being released.gm dealership says there is nothing they can do for me at this point.this is a major issue with other owners as well and needs to be fixed and addressed through a recall.

The dashboard is cracked in three different places. The first cracked happened at about 24,000 miles right above the steering well. The second crack is on the passenger side leading up to the passenger airbag. That happened at about 50,000 miles.the third crack is in front of the steering wheelit travels upward to meet the first crack making it into a y shaped.this happened at about 55,000 miles.the car is parked in a garage most of the time. The passenger side seat belt buckle in the middle rowand the middle seat belt buckle in the third row both fell apart making the buckles unusable.

The dashboard is cracked in several places because the brackets under the dash are broken due to vibration during every day driving. As i searched for a repair kit from gmc, i found there are thousands of gmc owners who have this same issue in their truck/suv. The suggestion the gmc website offers is for the owner to disassemble the dash, fix the crack with a hot staple gun and epoxy, then reattach the dash. I am shocked this is their suggestion which would involve unplugging 3 or 4 major functions of the vehicle. I would assume this should be done by a certified gmc repair center. Considering the enormous price of these types of vehicles, i am again amazed gmc has not issued a recall to replace these faulty parts found in thousands of their trucks/suv's.

I bought this suv used and was toldthe dashboard cracked on its own around the passenger airbag and on the driver side over the instrument cluster! i tried fixing with super glue and it just looks terrible & a complete eyesore!! i do not know when it broke so i do not know what to put on your form except for my purchase date.
Cracked dashboard
We have a really bad crack in the dash and even a piece has broken off. The dash is also separating across the front. The car was stationary and was not moving or in an accident.
Cracks in dash board and they are spreading. Two cracks are above my steering wheel. One crack has spread to the airbag compartment.
The contact owns a 2012 gmc yukon. The contact stated that the dashboard was fractured on the passenger side over the air bag, and along the driver side of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Starting in aug 2012 i have had to replace all four door handles and as of today started on the second round of replacing the defective door handles, they continue to pop out when you open the door. I have been told there is no solution from gmc on this problem. When you spend that kind of money on a vehicle the door handles should not fail all of the time. When the vehicle is out of warranty i will be out big bucks every time this happens and that is wrong. I have the vehicle one year and this is the fifth set of door handles i am having replaced.

There was no trauma to vehicle. Dashboard is just cracking. The vehicle is exceptionally taken care of and garage kept.
Large cracks in the dashboard formed around passenger airbag as well as above instrument cluster. Loss of dashboard integrity in the event of airbag deployment seems highly probable.
The plastic dash on my yukon is cracking around the passenger airbag and in front of the instrument cluster on the driver's side. Seems like if the passenger airbag were to go off that it would propel pieces of this broken plastic dash.
Cracked dashboard.

Dashboard started cracking and splitting apart. There was no accident to cause this. Found out there has been a class action lawsuit filed regarding this issue and we were not aware.
The entire front dash is beginning to separate. There is a crack in the dash where the airbag is located. It appears to be caused from the airbag.
Dash board cracked above instrument panel and around the passenger side airbag, the vehicle was not moving when crack happened, parked it, when i came back out to drive it had big crack above the instrument panel and small cracks around passengers airbag.
I purchased this vehicle new in 2012 ,it has 32,000 miles on ,it one owner, one driver, always in the garage. Yesterday the drivers side door handle literally came off in my hand. It is composed of a flimsy piece of plastic which broke and renderedthe door unusable. This is an extremely dangerous situation if this were to happen and you cannot access the vehicle due to a wreck or access your children or simply get into your car in an area where you need to get in quickly. This is a well-known problem with gm ,in fact they sell replacement door handles next to the air filters like any other frequently replaced parts. I find this highly unacceptable that there has not been a recall, it is an obvious safety issue! when you cannot open the door of your car , one could be stuck in the car, or stuck out of the car, to no fault of your own. This issue also happens with the interior door opening mechanism. Now i live in fear that another handle is going to come flying off of my car and i am going to be stuck somewhere without access to my vehicle. I am an older person and crawling through to access the car is not possible and extremely unsafe. I believe if a person pays in excess of $60k for an americanvehicle, they should be assured that safety components like door handles do not routinely fail. Please help. Thank you.
Several cracks have developed on the dashboard in front of the drivers position and by the passenger airbag location. The dashboard cover vibrates when going over rough roads and i am concerned that the vibration will initiate the passenger airbag which is also on recall with no date established to bring the car in for a replacement airbag.
Dashboard is cracking. If airbag is deployed dash may present a flying objects safety hazard with pieces of dash acting as projectiles.
The dash is cracking right above the steering column and next to the passenger airbag. They're very significant cracks that have exposed what's under the dash. I have more pictures that the system wouldn't allow me to upload. Available upon request.
I was driving and slowed down upon approaching speed bumps and going over speed bump my dashboard cover cracked. There was no warning after it cracked the more i drove the more it cracked i am currently buying a dashboard cover to go over the cracked dashboard.

When pressing down on accelerator to get into traffic flow something sticks so that the engine runs at high speed until you kick the pedal two or three times to release what ever is sticking.has happened multiple times.

While driving in the rain, the wipers would slowly move across the windshield. After getting through this experience, i purchased a new wiper motor. Only to find that,due do a defect in engineering, the linkage had seized up.had i not noticed the linkage not working properly, i could have been put in a dangerous situation again.
