| Defective dashboard: the dashboard has cracked above the instrument cluster on the driver side of the vehicle. it has also cracked behind the airbag on the passenger side of the vehicle. i was working with roger young service advisor at freeway chevrolet in chandler, az.. he admitted that this is a defective part and many of these dashboards come in cracked regularly. they refuse to give any replacement assistance. my main concern is if the airbag deploys and gets caught on the cracked dashboard. below is a link to a facebook page with consumers that have the same issue with their gm product. http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/251892298253/permalink/10151437659298254/?comment_id=10151439619973254 | |||

| Defective dashboards installed by gm create a safety hazard. cracks occured on drivers side (hump above steering wheel) and cracks in dash on both sides of airbag. if airbag deploys cracked pieces of dash could cause harm to driver and passengers in vehicle. gm is aware of this well known problem/defect and it is very widespread with thousands or more gm customers having the same issue yet gm refuses to replace defective dash for customers which is ultimately putting gm customers and their passengers in danger. | |||

| When vehicle was inspected i was told that there was an exhaust leak in exhaust manifold. dealership found a broken bolt on left side and replaced it. i have just been informed that i now as of 01/30/2012 with 62,760 miles i have another bolt broken on the right side. after researching on internet it is obvious that gm has a design fault in using lower grade bolt which are breaking in large numbers. i implore the ntsa to require gm to replace these defective bolts either by recall or as incident occurs at no cost to car owners. i am told that the exhaust leak can cause failure of the catalytic converter and other engine failure problems which can result in safety issues. | |||

| I have consulted with many others who have experienced this issue as well. general motors fails to acknowledge that there's a quality concern or that there's a potential safety concern with these vehicles. this not only affects gmc yukons, but chevrolet tahoes and suburbans as well. the dash board is made of hard but brittle plastic. the dash boards tend to crack over time, especially near the passenger air bag opening, leaving sharp dagger like pieces of dash board material loose. in the event of an airbag deployment, there's a risk of these pieces being propelled by the air bag and injuring occupants of the vehicle. i've heard of this affecting vehicles from as little as 1 year old. general motors has refused to acknowledge the issue and has blatantly stated that if it were a safety problem, the government would do something about it. any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. | |||

| Drivers side door handle chrome is peeling off and my wife sliced her finger on the interior door handle. this is a known issue as i had also cut my hand on my 2007 avalanche. another issue on my yukon is that the dash has cracked for unknown reason around my airbag which could propose a serious issue since it surrounds the passenger airbag also similar to a 07 avalanche i have owned. if you google there are hundreds of owners with the same issues and nothing had been done about it. | |||

| There is a crack in my dash on the left corner of the passenger airbag and another one on the left side of the steering wheel hump. these cracks cause the dash to rattle and vibrate a lot while the vehicle is being driven, which is very distracting and they also leave exposed, sharp edges. i am concerned that the crack could compromise the airbags functions. we have only owned this vehicle for 6 months. there were no cracks when we purchased it. the vehicle was in very good condition. after we noticed the cracks on sunday, i started researching how to fix the problem. our local gm dealership was not very helpful. i contacted gm directly and they are not willing to replace the dash. i looked online and found numerous people who have the exact same problem in their 07 yukons and tahoes. it seems to be a trend! i found a site where others have posted their problems and the results they got from gm. several people have been fortunate enough to get the dash replaced for free of charge. i was not that lucky. i feel that this issue needs to be looked into further. i do not feel that i should have to pay to replace a defect that so many vehicles have. please help me! thank you! | |||

| The interior, driver side door handle on my 2007 gmc yukon is defective. the chrome laminate that covers the plastic handle is peeling on the top seam of the handle causing sharp edges to be exposed to my hand every time i open the door. i have contacted the dealership and they are saying that the special coverage recall is only good for 100,000 miles. i have 118,000 miles on my yukon and the problem is just now surfacing. i have contacted gmc directly for a resolution, which has been escalated to the district specialist in the area. this poses a continual hazard to me, since i have already cut my hand once from the problem. the cut was minor, similar to a paper cut, but a cut nonetheless. i do not feel that the recall should be limited to vehicle owners with less than 100,000 miles that are experiencing this problem. | |||

| The plastic dash cap which covers the electrical, instrument cluster and holds the airbag is cracked. currently there is only one crack approximately 4 inches long which is located over the instrument cluster hump. my concern is that the dash cap will continue to produce new cracks around the passenger air bag as other yukon owners have experienced. if the vehicle is involved in an accident the cracked brittle dash pad could shatter and impact and injure someone in the vehicle. | |||

| I own a 2007 gmc yukon and the dashboard cracked in two separate places and now fell in on one side. i contacted the dealer and they told me that this wasn't a recall item, however when i research this on the internet i found a number of other complaints about the same problem with the same type of vehicle. 1gkfk13057r251502 | |||

| I have a 2007 gmc yukon that i purchased new from a dealership that is no longer in business. i noticed in october of 2009 that the dashboard was cracked. over the next few months the cracks got worse and now are in three areas. i contacted gmc and was told to take it into a dealership for them to access the damage. a week after i took it in i contacted gmc again and they told me that they would offer me a 10% discount to have it fixed. i tried to speak to their supervisor and was given the run around and i gave up. since then the dashboard has gotten worse and pieces of the dash board are breaking off into the dash. when i put my hand on the dash it is not stable as there is a lot of movement. the cracks are also around my airbag on the passenger side in two spots. i'm afraid to let anyone sit in the front seat due to the possibility of the airbag malfunctioning due to a collapse of the dash. there are pieces of the dash that are already breaking off above the drivers side steering wheel. i'm afaid if this side collapes that it could cause a fire, entrapment, accident, injury and or death. i would hope that you understand my concern of me and my families safety. i would be happy to supply you with pictures or bring my vehicle in for inspection. gm told me that they haven't heard of this problem, but when i brought it into the dealership the service guy said he had seen a few like this. i have also found a lot of people on the internet that are having this same this happen to their 2007 yukon or 2007 tahoe. | |||
