Unknown or Other · at 41,250 miles · reported Feb 12, 2017
Cracked dashboard above instrument cluster and at passenger airbag location. I do not know if the vehicle was in motion or stationary when it happened. I noticed it while vehicle was stationary.
Visibility/Wiper · reported Oct 27, 2016
During inclement weather (Snow and rain) when windshield wipers were necessary for visibility, the wipers would either move very slowly or intermittently and stop in the middle of the windshield despite the wiper control set to high and not on the intermittent setting. This would occur when the vehicle was at idle and in motion, any speed. This occurred between march 2016 until a new wiper motor assembly was purchased and installed within the first week of july 2016. I did not receive any notice of recall from gmc however I did discover a recall through www.autozone.com (# 15789: service parts…
Air Bags · reported Oct 1, 2015
Cracked dash board. Appeared suddenly. Car was not in motion and parked when crack was discovered. It's a 2012 yukon xl so not an older model.
Tires · at 7,700 miles · reported Feb 5, 2015
5 tire failures in 24 months and 26833 miles. 2 were "broken tread" failures and 3 were flats. Of the flats 2 were in the same tire within 1 week with no obvious nail or other foreign material in the tire. As a result I replaced all 4 tires with another brand and have had no further problems. The first "broken tire occurred at around 7700 miles, the second broken tire at 10700 miles. Flats occurred at around 7800 miles and 26800 miles.
