THE BRAKES ON MY07 YUKON WORK INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AT SPEEDS OF 15MPH TO 20 MPH BRAKES FAIL TO ENGAGE AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS.

THERE IS CRACKS APPEARING ON THE DASH ALL ALONG THE AIRBAGS HOUSING COMPARTMENT AND PART OF THE AIR BAG IS EXPOSED . I'M VERY AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAG WILL GO OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING BECAUSE THE DASH IS SO CRACKED IT'S BARELY HOLDING THE BAG IN . I'M ALSO WORRIED IT WILL AFFECT THE SAFETY COMPONENTS AND NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT BEING EXPOSED TO SOME ELEMENTS DUE TO THE CRACKS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED KEPT AND ALWAYS PROFESSIONALLY MAINTAINED SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE DID OR DID NOT DO I BELIEVE IT'S CHEAP MATERIAL ON THE DASH CAUSING THIS TO OCCUR. ANOTHER BIG ISSUE IS THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE ADJUSTABLE AND HAVE COMPLETELY COME UNDONE AND FALLEN OFF THE ADJUSTABLE MECHANISM WHILE I WAS DRIVING . I CALLED THE COMPANY AND SHE SAID SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME SOON AND IT'S BEEN A MONTH I'VE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM. IT WAS A TERRIFYING ORDEAL TO BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE OR BRAKE . I WAS SO SCARED FOR MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY AS WE WERE ALL IN THE CAR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

WE GOT OUR BRAKES FIXED AT THE DEALER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO AND WE CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN OF NOISES AND SQUEAKING, BUT THE DEALER SAID IT WAS JUST DUST BECAUSE THEY WERE NEW. AFTER MONTHS OF COMPLAINING, WE BEGIN TO RECEIVE OIL CHANGES FREE OF CHARGE WITH NO EXPLANATIONS. JANUARY 6, 2011 I WENT IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE CALIBER WAS BROKEN AND LEAKING BRAKE FLUID;SHE ALSO SAID I NEED NEW FRONT BRAKE PADS; BOTH OF THE ROTORS ARE BROKEN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKES FOR ALMOST 4-6 MONTHS. ALSO THE DIFFERENTIAL IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AS WELL. ESTIMATION OF; THE BRAKE CALIBER AND PADS IS $550; BOTH ROTOR $1000 AND DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM $1000 WHICH I WILL HAVE TO PAY. I BELIEVE THESE PROBLEMS ARE MANUFACTURER RELATED AND SHOULD DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALER KEPT MY CAR AND STATED IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS NOT OFFERED A LOANER AFTER EXPLAINING THAT I ONLY HAVE ONE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I WAS NOT GIVEN AND ESTIMATED TIME OF WHEN THE CAR WOULD BE COMPLETED FOR REPAIRS. IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THIS CLAIM IS WARRANTED BEFORE I SPEND ANY OUT OF POCKET MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM OR AN ERROR BY ONE OF THE MECHANICS SOONER BEFORE THE PROBLEM ESCALATED INTO FURTHER DAMAGES.

WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKES JERK OR A SLIPPING MOTION AFTER YOU ARE AT COMPLETE STOP. WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE HAVE JUST LUBED THE PROBLEM, ACCORDING THEIR MEMO THAT IS THE PROCEDURE, INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A ALMOST DAILY BASIS, IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT GMC DOESN'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX ON THESE VEHICLES.
