Valve spring snapped clear in half inside the engine while driving on the highway. This caused me to be stranded on the side of the road in the middle of the Arizona desert with my two dogs in the heat. Thankfully I did not lose control of the vehicle. No warning signs whatsoever until out of nowhere- vehicle check engine light started flashing as well as 'service stabiltrak' and 'traction control disabled'. I immediately pulled over. Thankfully I shut off the engine in time to prevent further damage to the pistons. Vehicle was towed and inspected by Holden's Auto Service in Kingman, AZ. Valve spring broke clean in half and was given to me after valve spring was replaced. Compression tests were performed after valve spring replacement. engine was run until warm and normal compression resumed. No other mechanical issues found. Checked for recalls on this vehicle. nothing found related to this.
I experienced hybrid battery module catching fire till was water thrown on it unknown raison after i planned to buy used battery from other junkyard truck and before replacing wanted to check everything okay i notice that there black mark caused by short circuit on the same place but everything was looking good from out till i unplugged the module wire for clean up i saw the burn so my conclusion was that there is issue with hybrid module that can cause fire and much more, i have pictures to show.
Engine front hood pops up into the safety latch position while driving down the road at highway speed and in cold weather or in a strong headwind.
The contact owns a 2010 GMC Yukon. The contact stated the front driver’s side dashboard was fractured. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V050000 (Air Bags) and took the vehicle to a local dealer to be repaired. The dealer declined to service the vehicle under recall due to the dashboard being fractured. The dealer and manufacturer informed the contact that the recall repair would be performed once the dashboard was replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
The top of the dashboard instrument panel keeps cracking in several places despite trying to prevent any or further cracks. It is very visible and it is now cracking towards the steering wheel and the cover to the passenger air bag area. concerned that because it is in close range to passenger airbag component area as well as the steering column area that eventually there will some malfunction in either components.
The dashboard on our 2010 GMC yukon was cracking. While driving to pick up my daughter from school, the dashboard center section calapsed inside the dashboard. It was very alarming and is leaving the airbag case exposed.
Dash is cracked scared that sharp objects may fly into my family face if air bags are deployed the truck lost all power and left me and my daughter stranded right in the middle of traffic about got hit thank God we didn't GM needs to take care of these matters and take it seriously people could be seriously hurt or killed And if I hit a bump my cruise control will shut off automatically as if i pushed the button but i never touched anything
The contact owns a 2010 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while his girlfriend was driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle was bouncing and swaying left to right. The air ride system was inoperable. The steering wheel was unstable and hard to control. The suspension warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
The open recall on this vehicle cannot be complete without the customer being fully responsible for damage that might be caused during the recall repair. GM is advising all dealerships to force customers to sign a waiver if they have the recall work performed releasing GM and the dealer from all responsibility of any damage done to the dashboard. If the dashboard is damaged and has to be replaced then the customer is faced with a more than $1000 repair job therefore the customer must choose between feeding and caring for their family or risking the passenger being seriously injured or killed due to the faulty airbag issue. GM should stand behind the decision they made to use cheap plastic for their dashboards on this vehicle instead of punishing their customers and costing them more money or risking injury or death to passengers.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 GMC Yukon. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 21V054000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall was unavailable. The contact called the local dealer who stated the parts were not available. The contact stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. The VIN was invalid.
Yo hiba manejando como a 25 millas en la ciudad y cuando y cuando fui hacer un u turn el steering wheel dejo de trabajar. SE puso duro y solo SE mueve si lo manejo pero no puedo parquiarme porque esta muy duro el steering wheel . lo lleve a un electronico y me dijeron que la computadora no LE da el code. Y el mechanico solo me dice que ES mejor cambiar el rock pinion electric pero no encuentro la piesa en ningun lado...
Friday night. On march 26 while driving on a city highway, after crossing a railroad track- my airbags deployed while approaching a red light occupied with several vehicles. Managed to avoid hitting anything and immediately pulled over in a local grocery store parking lot. That was scary
Since 2016 this vehicle has had the dash cracking, recently this issue has gotten much worse. The dash IS literally about to fall in. This has happened mostly during times it was sitting although driving has definitely made it much worse. I'm concerned that if the airbag does happen to go off it's going to throw sharp pieces of plastic flying throughout the passenger compartment. Another issue I have found IS if I set any papers on the dash they fall into the dash. I can now see the wiring inside the dash because of the missing pieces. On top of this you have to be careful touching the dash as I have been cut on several occasions from the sharp edges created by this issue. The center of the dash appears to be on borrowed time it has sunken nearly a half an inch within the last month. The dealership claims this IS just normal wear and tear for the vehicle and refuses to fix it without me footing the bill. This just seems outrageous on a car priced north of 60K
My dashboard has cracked and IS now in many pieces. I know it IS expensive to replace so I've glued and taped it together to the best of my ability. The dash rattles and shakes throughout any trip I take. I love my car! I want it to be 'healed'. It's very distracting to drive with your dash making all that noise. If I'm ever in an accident, even ever so small, I'm sure parts of that dash will go flying and hurt the driver and/or passenger. I also don't know how safely contained my dash-airbag IS. My speaker and gps are also on that dash and are no longer installed where they should be causing more problems in their new locations which could result in something else not functioning like it was designed to be. I take care of my vehicles with regular tuneups and replacements where needed. This IS beyond my control and IS a serious flaw in this vehicle.

The dash IS cracked in several areas and could come apart in an accident
Dashbord cracking. *tr
When I was driving I make a u turn and my steering wheel stop working... *tr
TL* the contact owns a 2010 GMC yukon. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags) however, the parts to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was taken to gregg young chevrolet omaha (17750 burt st, omaha, ne 68118) and huber chevrolet (11102 w dodge rd, omaha, ne 68154) twice and was informed each time that the parts were not available for the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Dic IS stating service air bags. local dealership states GMC will not honor recall yet as of 2016
My airbags are potentially deady, but the nhtsa IS allowing GMC to skirt the recall. Guess money and influence IS more important than mine and my family's lives.
My wife was in an accident where the at-fault driver ran a red light and t-boned her drivers side front door and pillar area while crossing an intersection. our car was hit hard enough to where the floor board and fire wall are wrinkled. not one air bag deployed. the toyota truck that struck my wifes car had it's air bags deployed. the auto body shop IS telling me, because of the hard impact the vehicle IS a total loss.

NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
