NHTSA complaint #10713425 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

STRUCTURE:BODY

I NOTICED CRACKS OPENING NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA AND ON THE TOP OF SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER. CONTACTED THE GM AND I WAS TOLD A SERIES OF EXCUSES SUCH AS: "YOUR WARRANTY IS OVER", "YOU BOUGHT THE CAR USED ( I BOUGHT IT FROM A GM DEALER UNDER THE PRE-OWNED WARRANTY)", OR "MAYBE YOU USED PRODUCTS THAT CRACK THE PLASTIC!" AFTER A BRIEF RESEARCH I FOUND OUT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT GM MADE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CRACK OPEN AT THE SAME EXACT SPOTS, DOWN TO THE MILLIMETER, AND IT HAPPEN IN THE BRAND NEW CARS AS WELL AS THE OLDER ONES. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE ITEM, AND RESULT OF A WRONG DESIGN. GM DOES NOT REPLACE THE PART UNLESS WE PAY FOR IT. THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED THAT PARTS COULD FLY INTO THE CABIN AS A RESULT OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENTS AND REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. OUR CARS LOOSE ALSO THEIR VALUE WITH A DEFECTIVE/BROKEN DASH BOARD. THE FUNNIEST EXCUSE BY GM WAS: "OH, THE DASH PARTS ARE MADE IN MEXICO! YOU KNOW HOW THE MEXICANS ARE!"

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE

REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN. THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN. IF THERE WAS A ACCIDENT AND YOU NEEDED TO EXIT REAR OF SUV YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT AS THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN DOOR. IT IS ELECTRONIC AND HAS STOPPED WORKING. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN ALL YUKON'S, TAHOE'S AND ESCALADES. THERE IS NOT EVEN A BUTTON FROM THE EXTERIOR THAT YOU CAN PUSH TO OPEN DOOR. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN AND GMC DOES NOT WANT TO FIX UNLESS YOU PAY THE $100.00 TO LOOK AT IT THEN ANOTHER $500.00 TO FIX, I REALLY THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS A BAD DESIGN NOT HAVING ANY MANUAL WAY TO OPEN REAR HATCH ON A SUV.
