Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

CRACKED DASH, I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT I FEEL IT WOULD CAUSE SHRAPNEL TO BE FLY EVERYWHERE. VERY SHARP PLASTIC WOULD FLY AS ANY PASSENGER ESPECIALLY IF THE FAULTY AIR BAGS WENT OFF.

I BOUGHT MY 2010 YUKON DENALI USED FROM A LOCAL USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM, AL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE DASH LOOKED TO BE FINE. EARLY IN THE SUMMER I BEGAN TO HAVE CRACKING RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND QUICKLY SOON AFTER NOTICED A LOT OF CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAGS. THIS MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT; WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE DASH PIECES? THEY WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THIS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL OF THE GMC FAMILY OF SUVS FOR ABOUT A 5 YEAR PERIOD. GM HAS EVEN CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE REPLACEMENTS DUE TO THE CHEAP WORKMANSHIP OF THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS A SAFETY HAZARD.

DRIVING BACK FROM A LOCAL SKI AREA TO HOME, THE DASH CRACKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES. THE TEMPERATURE WAS A LOW OF 30 DEGREES THAT DAY AND WE TURNED THE DEFROSTER ON TO ABOUT 69, NOT LIKING THE CAR HOT. IT GOES RIGHT INTO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG STORAGE WHICH MAKES ME WONDER IF THE DASH WILL EXPLODE IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS OR IT COULD POP THE AIRBAG BEFORE OR DURING IT'S USE.
