THE TOP OF THE DASH HAS THREE CRACKS, TWO BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL & GAUGE CLUSTER AND ONE BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOOR. IN RESEARCHING I SEE THAT THIS IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE COMMON ON THE TAHOE, YUKON, ESCALADE AND ASSORTED GM TRUCKS IN THE 2007-2011 RANGE. IN SOME CASES, MINE IN PARTICULAR, THE CRACKS HAVE GOTTEN QUITE LARGE AND JAGGED TO THE POINT THAT PIECES OF THE DASH ARE LOOSE AND COULD BECOME PROJECTILES OR AFFECT THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IT IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING AND GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. THIS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD FOR GM AND IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE I WILL NOT INVEST IN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT.

MY VEHICLE HAS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD BECOMING CRACKED. IT PROBABLY STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, BUT IT HAS BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AND HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS AND HOLES NOW. I HAD INQUIRED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR NOTICES. APPARENTLY THOUGH IT IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM AS EVIDENCED BY GOOGLING "CRACKED DASHBOARDS IN 2007 GMC YUKON". THIS IS REALLY NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT A SIGNIFICANT COSMETIC ISSUE. THE COST TO REPLACE IT HAS BEEN QUOTED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO BE AROUND $1100. I HAVE ASKED A THIRD PARTY VENDOR WHO DOES A COVER REPLACEMENT FOR ABOUT 1/3 OF THE COST (BUT HE DOES NOT REPLACE IT). HE SAID THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH GMC DASHBOARDS IN THEIR TRUCKS AND YUKONS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I THINK HE SAID IT WAS A QUALITY ISSUE IN THE PLASTIC USED IN THE DASHBOARDS. MY CAR HAS REALLY HAD MINIMAL SUN EXPOSURE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED THE PROBLEM. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IN OCTOBER 2013, THE TRAILER HITCH COVER FAILED DUE TO A BROKEN PRONG. BODY SHOP INSTALLED A REPLACEMENT PART; HOWEVER, FROM THE BEGINNING IT DID NOT FIT CORRECTLY. WHEN COMPARED TO OLD COVER, THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN THE PRONG DESIGN. IN JUNE 2014 THE COVER DID NOT BREAK OR COME OFF THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT WAS FLAPPING BELOW THE BUMPER. TOOK VEHICLE INTO SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ANOTHER ISSUE, BUT, ASKED SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE BODY SHOP TO INSURE RIGHT PART INSTALLED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAME BACK AND SAID "DUE TO POOR BUMPER DESIGN, THE ENTIRE BUMPER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO INSURE CORRECT FIT." I DECLINED. BOTH MY POWER MIRRORS WERE THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. SERVICE DEPARTMENT WANTED $1070.00 TO REPLACE BOTH MIRRORS. DECLINED AND USED ANOTHER GMC DEALER WHO REPLACED BOTH FOR $602.69. *TR

The investigated concern involved chrome plating on interior door handles that could peel or separate from the plastic base material.This de-lamination could result in a sharp edge and pose a risk of laceration.In some cases, consumers reported minor hand/skin lacerations.Of these reported injuries, the vast majority of injuries were to adults.Ninety percent of claims associated with interior door handle de-lamination were related to the front doors.In addition to the above Tahoe/Yukon vehicles, other GMT 900 series C/K vehicles (Avalanche, Escalade, Sierra, Silverado, and Suburban) have a trim level that utilizes the chrome plated interior door handles and were included in the analysis.The resultant population group had a total of 746 complaint reports with 309 injury incidents and 43,619 unique VIN regular warranty claims over a combined 451,745 vehicle population.The door handle supplier was changed in September 2006 with new tooling and process in place by October 2006.The base population prior to the September 2006 vendor change accounted for the bulk (or 89%) of all complaints and comparable injury reports and warranty claims.Due to the nature of the failure (thin chrome plating peeling off the door handle), only minor hand/skin laceration injuries similar to a paper cut were recorded.All but a few did not require professional medical treatment such as surgical or liquid sutures (i.e. stitches).Less than 10% of injury reports had specifically involved a 3-10 year old child.This was due to the fact that 90% of the claims were associated with door handles located in the front seating area (where the window glass panels usually have less solar tinting than rear window glass panels) where children are not normally seated. In July 2010, GM issued a Special Coverage Policy (SCP 09239) on the base vehicles to extend the warranty coverage to 10 years/100k miles.Recent data indicate that the base population complaint and injury reporting have subsided since the implementation of the SCP campaign.In June 2011, GM added the remaining interim population (Sep-Oct 2006) to the SCP.A safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will monitor this issue and reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
