2010 GMC Yukon Denali

AS WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE OUR YUKON LOSES ALL POWER, ENGINE TURNS OFF, STABILITY CONTROL MESSAGE COMES UP, TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MESSAGE COMES UP. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRY REFIRING THE ENGINE. IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO JUMP OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WE TURN IT OFF AND WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES. START THE ENGINE BACK UP AFTER WAITING AND IT DRIVES OK, BUT ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US TWICE IN TWO DAYS TIME.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BADLY ON DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE. IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS THE PLASTIC WILL BE SHATTERED AND BLOWN ACROSS THE CAB. IT WILL EVENTUALLY FALL APART ALTOGETHER AND MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENT OF HE CAR A RISKY PROPOSITION WITH THE DASHBOARD FALLING INTO THE DRIVERS LAP AND DISTRACTING HIM FROM DRIVING. IT IS A SUPPORT PROBLEM THAT HAS ALLOWED NORMAL VIBRATIONS DUE TO DRIVING TO CRACK THE PLASTIC THROUGH FATIGUE STRESS.

1. CRACKED DASHBOARD - CRACKED DASHBOARD - DASHBOARD IS DETERIORATING. NUMEROUS CRACKS. VEHICLE IS PARKED IN THE SHADE 90% OF THE TIME AND AFTER 30,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT. THERE IS A DASHBOARD CRACK NEXT TO THE AIRBAG ON THE DASHBOARD. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE TAKATA INFLATORS AND POTENTIAL SHRAPNEL PRODUCED FROM THE ROTTING DASHBOARD BECOMING AIRBORNE DURING AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS A WEBSITE THAT SHOWS THE MAJORITY OF THESE GM DASHBOARDS ARE DEFECTIVE AND FALLING APART BEYOND COSMETIC APPEARANCE. WHAT KIND OF SAFETY TESTING HAS BEEN DONE IN RELATION TO CRACKED DASHBOARDS CAUSING INJURIES? 2. TAKATA RECALL - THERE SHOULD BE A SOLUTION TO THE TAKATA INFLATOR ISSUE AND A RECALL ON GM CRACKED PLASTIC DASHBOARDS. IT IS PAST AUGUST OF 2017 AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING REGARDING THE AIRBAG ISSUE SOLUTION. (WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER - OURSIMAN OF ALEXANDRIA, VA ) THAT NO SOULTION IS AVAILE FOR THE AIRBAG.I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. 3. TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES - LINES HAVE BEEN LEAKING FOR YEARS. SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT IN THE WARRANTY COVERAGE AS NOT COVERED???IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL YUKON AND OTHER VECHICLES
