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.

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.

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE SAYING THE PROPELLANT IN THIS INFLATOR MAY DEGRADE AFTER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CYCLING, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO EXPLODE DURING A DEPLOYMENT. AN INFLATOR RUPTURE MAY CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG AND INTO THE VEHICLE INTERIOR AT HIGH SPEED, WHCIH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS. WHEN WE CALLED THE GMC DEALER TO GET THIS FIXED, THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE FOR MY HUSBAND, MYSELF AND OUR 6 CHILDREN THAT WE RIDE IN TOGETHER EACH DAY. I'M ALSO PREGNANT AND EXPECTING A BABY IN AUGUST - WE SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, GMC SHOULD BE OFFERING AN ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE FOR USE UNTIL THEY HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE OR SOME OPTION TO KEEP OUR FAMILY SAFE.

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.

FROM WHAT I CAN SEE THE DEALERSHIP WOULD LOVE TO FIX THIS AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE $2,000.

TAKATA RECALL: I FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN 2017. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING PERIODICALLY FOR AN UPDATE FOR THE FIX FOR THIS RECALL. I CHECKED AGAIN TODAY AND IT THE WEBSITE STATES THAT THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. SO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY ARE RIDING DAILY IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND NO ONE SEEMS CONCERNED ABOUT REMEDYING THE SITUATION. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS SITUATION.

MY YUKON HAS APPROXIMATELY 45000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN GARAGED AT ALL TIMES WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN. THE DASH HAS CRACKS THAT HAVE FORMED IN THE SKIN PART OF THE SURFACE PLASTIC IN THE AREA NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE HUMP PART ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY A HIGH END BODY SHOP I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY BECAUSE IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS ON GMC MODELS. I DID FURTHER CHECKING WITH A NUMBER OF REPAIR SHOPS AND SERVICES THAT DO VINYL REPAIRS AS WELL. THE PREMIER COMPANY I SPOKE WITH TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIRS MAY NOT LAST A DAY AND THAT EVEN IF I REPLACE THE DASH SKIN COMPLETELY IT WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN THE REPLACEMENT. IN READING ONLINE I DISCOVERED THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND THAT GM REFUSES TO DO A RECALL AND IN ONLY SOME INSTANCES WILL COVER HALF THE COST WHICH CAN EXCEED $1200.00. THERE IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE AIRBAG INVOLVEMENT ESPECIALLY WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVING A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND STILL NO REPLACEMENT FOR IT. PHOTS OF EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE ARE POSTED ON LINE BY NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS AND THE MASSIVE PROBLEM CAN BE EASILY VERIFIED IF YOU DO A SIMPLE RESEARCH ROUTINE. THE PUBLIC NEEDS YOUR HELP TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURER CORRECT THE ISSUE OF CHEAP AND FAULTY MANUFACTURING PROCESSES AND MAKE ITS CUSTOMERS WHOLE.

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.

Investigations

1 NHTSA investigation on record

Investigations are agency reviews, not findings that a vehicle is defective.

Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture

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.
