2011 GMC Yukon Denali Xl

ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I BROKE DOWN DUE TO AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT I BROKE DOWN (STALLED OUT IN THE ROAD) DUE TO 2 LIFTERS COLLAPSING AND THE CAMSHAFT BEING DAMAGED. AFTER REPLACING ALL LIFTERS, THE CAMSHAFT, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES, AS WELL AS ANOTHER OIL PRESSURE SENSOR JUST IN CASE THE OTHER ONE WAS BAD I STILL HAVE LOW OIL PRESSURE. THIS COST $3,000.00! I LEFT THE SHOP AND BROKE DOWN ON MY WAY HOME WITH A FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT AND MESSAGE FLASHING. IT SHOOK SO HARD I THOUGHT IT WOULD EXPLODE IN THE ROAD AND THEN STALLED OUT! IT WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP WHERE IT CONTINUES TO SIT. ITS BEEN THERE 3 WEEKS. ITS BEEN AT THE SHOP LONGER THAN I'VE GOTTEN TO DRIVE IT. AFTER GOOGLING WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON AND GMC/CHEVROLET IS WELL AWARE OF THE FAULTY ENGINE. THOUSANDS OF POSTS ARE ON DIFFERENT SITES COMPLAINING HOW EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE PUT THEIR VEHICLE IN THE SHOP AND HAD THE REPAIRS DONE, THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE THAT CAUSING THE ISSUES AGAIN! THE MANUFACTURER IS WELL AWARE THEY ARE PUTTING LIVES AT RISK REPEATEDLY AND CAUSING FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS FOR THE CONSUMER BUT IT IS OBVIOUS THEY ARE CONCERNED ONLY ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE AND NOT LIVES.

TAKATA RECALL: THE DASHBOARD ON OUR VEHICLE IS CRACKED AT THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND AT THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THERE IS ALSO A TAKATA RECALL WHICH GMC DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY. THESE 2 ITEMS HAVE POTENTIAL TO BE DISASTROUS WHEN COMBINED TOGETHER. THE INFLATOR EXPLODING AND THE DASH BOARD BREAKING INTO PIECES AND SENT THROUGHOUT THE CABIN. WE ARE ASKING FOR GMC TO REPLACE THE INFLATOR AND REPLACE THE DASHBOARD.

MY 2011 GMC YUKON XL DENALI HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE IT WAS NEW. CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD, AND ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE SOURCES, IS THE RESULT OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CRACKS MAY BE MORE THAN JUST AN UNSIGHTLY COSMETIC ISSUE AND MAY PROVE PROBLEMATIC IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CRACKS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, INSIDE THE GARAGE. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND AVENUES. EACH TIME, I AM EITHER IGNORED OR TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT FROM UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER AND WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $1,000 TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. BETWEEN THE DASH BOARD CRACKS AND THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL, FOR WHICH A SOLUTION HAS YET TO BE ISSUED, I AM GRAVELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND INTEGRITY OF THIS VEHICLE.
