2012 Gmc Yukon problems
The Chevrolet Tahoe, and its badge-engineered GMC Yukon counterpart, are full-size SUVs and other trucks from General Motors, offered since 1994 and 1991, respectively. Since 1982, Chevrolet and GMC sold two different-sized SUVs under their "Blazer" and "Jimmy" nameplates, by introducing the smaller S-10 Blazer and GMC S-15 Jimmy for the 1983 model year, below the full-size Blazer and Jimmy models. This situation lasted into the early 1990s. GMC first rebadged the full-size Jimmy as the "Yukon" in 1991. Chevrolet however waited until 1994, when they rebadged the redesigned mid-size S-10 Blazer the "new Blazer," while renaming the full-size Blazer as the "Tahoe." The name Tahoe refers to the rugged and scenic area surrounding Lake Tahoe in the western United States, and was originally used as a trim level on S-10 models. The name Yukon refers to the Yukon territory of northern Canada.
For the 1995 model year, the Tahoe and Yukon gained a new, longer four-door model, slotting in size between the two-door models and the longer-wheelbase Chevrolet/GMC Suburbans.
The Tahoe is sold in North America, parts of Asia such as the Philippines, and the Middle East, plus other countries including Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Angola as a left-hand-drive vehicle. The Yukon is only sold in North America and the Middle East.
The Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon are part of General Motors' full-size SUV family and are differentiated from the similar Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL primarily by the length of the passenger and cargo area behind the C-pillar. An upscale trim GMC Denali sub-model joined the Yukon lineup as the top-of-the-line trim for the 1999 model year; the Cadillac Escalade is a closely related upscale version sharing the same platform. The Denali is available on both standard and XL versions.
The Tahoe has regularly been the best-selling full-size SUV in the United States, frequently outselling its competition by two to one.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-18
- VIN: 1GKS1MEF9CR
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Yesterday while unloading the rear of our 2021 GMC Yukon Denali the tailgate came down on me without warning and with force. I googled to see what might have caused this to happen and it stated that the struts might be worn out. (I am having that checked out today) Fortunately, I am a 6 foot 220 pound man and was not hurt but just the day before my 14 year old, 100 pound grand daughter was taking things things out of the rear of the vehicle. If the rear door would have come down on her it would have been a lot worse

AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-03-01
- VIN: 1GKW2SEG1CR
- Components: AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE
- Summary: The problem started a couple of years ago as a small crack in the dashboard at the upper left corner of the airbag. The crack widened and lengthened after replacement of the air bag last year. Then the dash cracked earlier this year at the crown above the instrument cluster. It has completely separated and is nearly 12” in length. Not only does it rattle to the point of driver distraction, but I would think there is a high risk of shattering during a collision potentially causing facial lacerations, blindness and the like. I really don’t want to wait to find out. According to [XXX] , this is a well known issue with GM trucks, Suburbans and Yukons from 2007 to 2014 and GM has failed to make good on the problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-08-15
- VIN: 1GKS2CE08CR
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS
- Summary: WHILE WORKING ON AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT I ENCOUNTERED 2 DISTINCT PROBLEMS WITH MY AIRBAG AND VEHICLE SYSTEM. 1. THE MAIN UNDERHOOD FUSE PANEL ON MY VEHICLE HAS PORTION OF OXIDATION ON THE FUSES THEMSELVES. THIS OXIDATION IS CAUSING FUSES TO APPEAR INTACT BUT ARE CAUSING THE CIRCUIT TO OPEN. THIS WAS THE ROOT CAUSE OF MY AIRBAG SYSTEM TO NOT BE OPERATING PROPERLY. 2. WHILE DIAGNOSING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, I WAS CAUTIOUS ABOUT UNPLUGGIN THE BATTERY DURING ANY TROUBLESHOOTING THAT I WAS PERFORMING. BUT, AT THE END OF THE DIAGNOSIS PERIOD AND ALL MODULES/SYSTEM WERE RECONNECTED TO ELECTRICAL MATING CONNECTORS I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY AND STARTED THE VEHICLE TO COOL THE INTERIOR. THE CENTRAL AIRBAG MODULE WHICH IS LOCATED IN CENTER CONSOLE WAS ALREADY ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED BUT NOT MOUNTED. WHEN THE MODULE WAS MOVED INTO POSITION AND THE MOUNTING POINTS OF THE MODULE TOUCHED CHASSIS GROUND OF THE VEHICLE THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS AND FRONT SEAT BELT SQUIBS DEPLOYED. IT APPERAS TO ME THAT THE GROUND OF THE MODULE AND THE VEHICLE COMMON WIRE ARE NOT INTERNALLY CONNECTED. THIS APPARENTLY MAY CAUSE A FLOATING CIRCUIT IN THE AIRBAG MODULE THAT WHEN CHASSIS GROUND (EXTERIOR MOUNTING SURFACE OF THE MODULE) HAS A POTENTIAL CHANGE, THE AIRBAGS MAY GO OFF INADVERTENTLY. THE CONCERN HERE IS THAT CORROSION ON OLDER VEHICLES MAY CAUSE THIS CHASSIS GROUND TO BE COMPROMISED AND CAUSE RANDOM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS TO OCCUR. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. BODILY INJURY COULD HAVE OCCURRED IF OCCUPANT WAS POSITIONED DIFFERENTLY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-09-27
- VIN: 1GKS2KE74CR
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2012 ,IT HAS 32,000 MILES ON ,IT ONE OWNER, ONE DRIVER, ALWAYS IN THE GARAGE. YESTERDAY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE LITERALLY CAME OFF IN MY HAND. IT IS COMPOSED OF A FLIMSY PIECE OF PLASTIC WHICH BROKE AND RENDERED THE DOOR UNUSABLE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AND YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE VEHICLE DUE TO A WRECK OR ACCESS YOUR CHILDREN OR SIMPLY GET INTO YOUR CAR IN AN AREA WHERE YOU NEED TO GET IN QUICKLY. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GM ,IN FACT THEY SELL REPLACEMENT DOOR HANDLES NEXT TO THE AIR FILTERS LIKE ANY OTHER FREQUENTLY REPLACED PARTS. I FIND THIS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL, IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! WHEN YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR CAR , ONE COULD BE STUCK IN THE CAR, OR STUCK OUT OF THE CAR, TO NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN. THIS ISSUE ALSO HAPPENS WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR OPENING MECHANISM. NOW I LIVE IN FEAR THAT ANOTHER HANDLE IS GOING TO COME FLYING OFF OF MY CAR AND I AM GOING TO BE STUCK SOMEWHERE WITHOUT ACCESS TO MY VEHICLE. I AM AN OLDER PERSON AND CRAWLING THROUGH TO ACCESS THE CAR IS NOT POSSIBLE AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I BELIEVE IF A PERSON PAYS IN EXCESS OF $60K FOR AN AMERICAN VEHICLE, THEY SHOULD BE ASSURED THAT SAFETY COMPONENTS LIKE DOOR HANDLES DO NOT ROUTINELY FAIL. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.
