2011 GMC Yukon Hybrid SUV RWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2011 GMC Yukon Hybrid SUV RWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i, like thousands of other gmc owners have been frustrated to no end, having to deal with a cracked and highly unsafe vehicle dashboard. i own a 2011 gmc yukon and my dashboard has cracked so bad, that it’s not only aesthetically unappealing but it poses a grave danger to myself and all passengers inside. if i were to be involved in an accident and the airbag deploy, it would send shards of hard sharp plastic through our faces. you can imagine how much pressure would be behind those sharp pieces as they embed into someone’s face. gmc owes it to its consumers to recall these dashboards and make it right. i feel gmc is intentionally and wrecklessly placing my family in danger by blatantly refusing to recall this obvious problem. as an american consumer, can you help me with this please? thank you"
