This dashboard is literally falling apart on a daily basis. I keep windshield coverings on the windhsield when in the sun. the design is terrible, and the plastic (if you want to call it that) is very brittle almost if it's made of some sort of plant based material. this IS a safety hazard as the pieces that are coming off are sharp, and large. There is also an airbag recall to be completed in which they will absolutely add to the damage of my dash. GM as a company is cowardly in hiding from this issue. you know this should be a recall, and is costing YOUR customers a lot of unnecessary funding to fix an issue that you absolutely are responsible for. do the right thing. WE pay your salaries.

The dash is cracked which could be very dangerous if the airbags ever deployed as chards of plastic could injure the driver and front passenger.

TAKATA RECALL AND DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. 2007 GMC YUKON WAS PURCHASED USED WITH OVER 100K. SHORTLY AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2015 THE DASHBOARD LITERALLY CAVED IN WHILE DRIVING ON A PAVED STREET. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND SPEAKING WITH FELLOW YUKON AND TAHOE OWNERS, I DETERMINED THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND CONSISTENT IN TERMS OF CRACKING AREAS AND MAGNITUDE. I CALLED GMC AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONSIDER SUBSIDIZING A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COST BUT I HAD TO GET AN ESTIMATE FROM A LOCAL GMC SERVICE CENTER. AFTER CONTACTING THE GMC SERVICE CENTER I WAS TOLD A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WOULD APPLY FOR A REPAIR QUOTE, TO WHICH I DISAGREED GIVEN THE NEED FOR AN ESTIMATE ONLY. I SPOKE ONCE MORE WITH GMC STATING I WOULD NOT PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE REQUEST AND UNKNOWN REMEDY. AT THE PRESENT MOMENT THE AIR BAGS ARE ALSO UNDER RECALL BUT UNAVAILABLE. THE CRACKING DASHBOARD AND DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS CREATE A VOLATILE SAFETY SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY AND I. ALL THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN SHARED WITH GMC VIA A CERTIFIED LETTER, TO WHICH THEY SENT A LETTER STATING I SHOULD CALL IF MY REQUEST HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE CALL RESULTED IN A NOTICE THAT I ALONE AM FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE AND HAZARDOUS DASHBOARD AND NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE PROVIDED. I COMPLETELY ACKNOWLEDGE THE STATE OF THE WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THE SHEER NUMBERS OF THIS OCCURRENCE CLEARLY INDICATE THE DASHBOARDS ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

PERSISTENT "TICKING" LIFTER UPON START OF A COLD ENGINE. SLIGHT LOSS OF POWER UNTIL THE ENGINE FINALLY WARMS AND THE TICKING SUBSIDES. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IN BOTH WARM AND COLD WEATHER BUT IS WORSE DURING COLD WEATHER. WHEN I ASKED THE LOCAL GM DEALER ABOUT A SOLUTION, THEY DESCRIBED A POTENTIAL REPAIR; A BAFFLE MAY BE INSTALLED IN THE OIL PAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF OIL DRAINING OUT OF THE TOP SIDE OF THE MOTOR. THIS INDICATES TO ME THAT GM HAS RECOGNIZED A DESIGN FLAW IN THIS MOTOR (THE 5.3L WITH ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT AND "FLEXFUEL" OPTION) THOUGH THE DID NOT OFFER TO PERFORM THE REPAIR FOR NO COST.

In June 2021 at approximately 168,000 miles the engine suffered catastrophic engine failure while driving. I was forced to replace the engine at my cost as it was out of the original warranty. I was told the cause of the engine failure was due to low oil pressure over an extended prior of time from worn engine bearings which resulted in a dropped value in cylinder #7 and #8.

WHILE DRIVING THE STABILITRAK OFF LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. THIS HAS SHUT DOWN MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY 4 TIMES. ODDLY, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WOULD RESET ITSELF AND THE CODES WOULD GO AWAY TEMPORARILY. THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND CABLES, WHICH I DID ON 7/17/20 AND 7/31/20. HOWEVER, ON MY LAST TRIP I HAD TO GET TOWED BACK TO MY HOME ON 09/01/20 FOR THE SAME REASON AS I WAS STRANDED ON A HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO A FUNERAL FOR A FAMILY FRIEND. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. I CAN'T LET MY WIFE OR KIDS USE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS SO RANDOMLY. THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THAT IT IS A MYSTERY TO THEM AS THEY HAVE CALLED THEIR GMC SPECIALTY TECHNICIANS FOR ADVICE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS AS THEY TRY TO FIND A SOLUTION. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 MONTHS AGO AND THIS IS UPSETTING. I FINALLY WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF I COULD POSSIBLE FIND A FIX TO RECOMMEND AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE I FOUND SIMILAR STORIES ON THIS WEBSITE "CAR FORUMS/ GMC/ GMC ENVOY XL" . I AM SURPRISED THIS NOT A RECALL. I HAVE PAID OVER $1,500 IN REPAIRS. CHANGED SENSORS ON TIRES THAT SUSPECT WEREN'T THE ISSUE SINCE THE INDICATOR LIGHT STILL COMES ON. I WORK FOR STATE FARM INSURANCE AND I AM AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF HAVING HAZARDOUS CARS ON THE ROAD. I ALSO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE INSTITUTES OF HIGHWAY SAFTEY AND THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I LOG THIS COMPLAINT. HERE IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER. [XXX]. HOW CAN I GET THIS LOGGED AS A RECALL AND GET MY MONEY BACK FOR REPAIRS OR THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE, IF GMC CAN'T GUARANTEE A REPAIR? I HAVE ATTACHED THE CABLE AND ENGINE CONTROL MODULE REPAIR INVOICES THAT VERIFY THE COMPLAINT. I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FLASHING AND THE CAR SHUTTING OFF.

2007- GMC YUKON XL DENALI PURCHASED ON 11/09/2007. 1 WEEK AFTER PICKING UP THIS NEW VEHICLE WE NOTICED DISTORTED IMAGES WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT NIGHT TIME. THE WINDSHIELD HAS NUMEROUS WAVES THROUGHOUT, CAUSING THE IMAGES TO BE DISTORTED. AFTER DRIVING FOR AWHILE YOU GET A FEELING YOU ARE ON A BOAT, MAKES YOU DIZZY AND GIVES YOU A HEADACHE. THE DEALERSHIP REFERRED ME TO GMC. GMC'S DONNA MOWET (866-790-5600 XT 12023 SERVICE REQUEST #71-622065992) REPORTED TO ME VIA PHONE YESTERDAY (05/20/08) AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS, "...THE TECHNICIANS HAVE DETERMINED THAT THIS IS A NORMAL NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THAT NO FURTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN BY GMC OR THE DEALERSHIP, HENCE IT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY.....". I REQUESTED I BE ALLOWED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO WHICH SHE STATED "IT WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR A BUY BACK". PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT NO TECHNICIAN EVER LOOKED AT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE, THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME OF THAT AND HANDED ME A SERVICE BULLETIN, EXPLAINING THAT I WILL HAVE TO CONTACT GMC. IN ADDITION, I WILL LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUES ON FEB. 2008 AFTER THE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN BUILT AND SOLD, NOT BEFORE THEY WERE RELEASED. THERE WERE NO SERVICE BULLETINS AVAILABLE WHEN I MADE MY PURCHASE AND THERE WAS NO WARNING ADVISING ME AS A CONSUMER THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC FLAWS THAT MAY CAUSE DISTORTION WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA PLEASE LOOK AT THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY SO NO DEATHS OR INJURIES OCCUR AND HAVE GMC COMPLY WITH THE NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY OR HAVE THEN BUY THE VEHICLE BACK. I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO STATE THAT OUR PREVIOUS VEHICLE WAS A 2002 GMC YUKON XL DENALI AND THAT WE WERE HAPPY AND HAD NO MAJOR ISSUES NOR WAS THE WIND SHIELD WARPED FOR OVER 1000,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE A VEHICLE WITH A RIDE PACKAGE CALLED PREMIUM SMOOTH RIDE WITH A GM FACTORY CODE "ZW7". BOTH GM AND GM DEALERSHIPS HAVE A CATALOG ISSUE THAT RESULTED IN ME BUYING AN INCORRECT AND DANGEROUS REAR SHOCK. I HAVE WORKED FOR 6 MONTHS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND HAVE A VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS THE REPLACEMENT PART REFERRED BY GM IS INCORRECT. THE OEM MANUFACTURER (SACHS) IN FRANCE HAS CONCURRED THAT GM IS AT FAULT. GM IS HAVING CONSUMERS PUT ON A FACTORY REPLACEMENT PART INCORRECT FOR VEHICLE AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE WITHIN GM TO RESOLVE THE MATTER. I HAVE IT WELL DOCUMENTED AND IT HAS ALSO BEEN AN ISSUED FOR YUKON OWNERS WITH THE "PREMIUM SMOOTH RIDE" OPTION. SACHS IN FRANCE PROVIDED GM WITH A FACTORY SHOCK WITH "NIVOMAT" TECHNOLOGY THAT SHARED THE RIDE LOAD WITH THE REAR SPRINGS. SACHS HAS SINCE DISCONTINUED THE PRODUCT AND AS SUCH NO REPLACEMENT PART CAN BE BOUGHT. A CHANGE OF BOTH THE SPRINGS AND SHOCKS MUST BE DONE AND GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE REQUIREMENT OR OFFER A SOLUTION. INSTEAD THEY SEND DRIVERS DOWN THE ROAD WITH A DANGEROUS RIDE SET UP. WHEN WE DROVE OUR VEHICLE AFTER USING THE GM RECOMMENDED SHOCKS, IT RODE VERY ROUGH AND WHEN WE GOT UP TO SPEED IT ACTUALLY BOUNCED AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS DIFFICULT TO KEEP ON THE ROAD.

THE SALESMAN, WITHOUT LOOKING WHERE I WAS, PUSHED THE TOP CONSOLE BUTTON ABOVE THE FRONT SEATS WHICH CAUSED THE SEAT TO QUICKLY AND VERY HARD TO RETRACT, STRIKING THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK, TEMPORALLY STUNNING ME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS OPTION THAT COULD SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE NOT KNOWING HOW FAST AND HARD THIS OCCURS.

WHILE DRIVING TODAY AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH IN SOMEWHAT HEAVY TRAFFIC MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRACK INDICATOR CAME ON AS WELL AS A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAYING THE SAME. AT WHICH TIME MY VEHICLE CAME TO SLOW DOWN AND I LOST POWER. I PULLED OVER AND AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND UPON RESTART NOTICED THAT NOT ONLY DID WHITE SMOKE COME FROM MY EXHAUST BUT THE CAR HAD A ROUGH IDLE THE SAME INDICATORS WERE STILL ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD NOW COME ON AS WELL AND WAS FLASHING. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WITH A ROUGH LIMP HOWEVER WHEN I CAME TO A STOP FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS HESITANT TO KEEP RUNNING OR TAKE OFF.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY, MY TRUCK WAS DRIVING FINE. THEN THE STABILITRAK CAME ON. WHEN IT CAME ON THE ENGINE SLOW DOWN, AND ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START AND CALL THE GMC DEALER, TOLD THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND THEY ASKED COULD I BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. AFTER THEY SERVICE THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THAT THE STABILITRAK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HADN'T EVEN HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A FULL YEAR. BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALER I ASKED COULD I STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THAT I COULD. SO I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ONE DAY WHILE DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT MOVED FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO IMMEDIATELY START IT CAUSE I WAS BEHIND ANOTHER CAR AT A LIGHT. I WAS GLAD THAT IT DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER CAR. IT WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY. MAYBE TWO MINUTES IT STARTED AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND PRESS THE GAS IT TOOK OFF FAST. WHILE DRIVING, THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE POWER IS GONE. IF I AM NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER, THE SPEED WILL DROP BELOW 20 MPH. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL TAKE OFF, WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF GAS. HELP AM SCARED THAT IT MIGHT TAKE OFF AND HIT SOMEONE OR SHUTOFF AND HIT SOMEONE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM, THAT I FEEL GMC SHOULD LOOK INTO BEFORE SOME DIES OR REALLY GET HURT. *TR

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 OWN A 2007 GM YUKON XL. IN OR ABOUT MAY-JUNE OF 2009 THE CAR BEGAN RUNNING BADLY AND SMELLED OF GAS. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER (SUN PONTIAC GMC OF WANTAGH, NY) AND THEY SAID THEY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND TIME AGAIN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARING AND ONSTAR CALLS TO SEE IF I WAS OKAY. MANY REPORTS FROM ONSTAR ALSO CONFIRM THIS. AFTER MANY TRIPS TO SUN PONTIAC THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD REFUSED TO ISSUE ME A REPAIR ORDER BECAUSE YUKONS WERE HAVING EXPLOSIVE CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY MINE. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HAD ANY SUCH PROBLEM AND REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I WAS ORDERED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE IT TOWED FROM MY HOME BECAUSE OF THE SAME EXPLOSIVE CONDITION. SINCE JUNE 2009 I HAVE HAD OVER 300 PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH GM. I PERSONALLY WITNESSED THE ENTIRE REAR END UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE IN PIECES. I HAVE READ AND BEEN TOLD THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT EVEN AFTER THEY REPLACED HARNESSES, GAS TANKS, TUBES, GAS LINES ETC. IT COULD NOT BE FIXED. THE LAST WORDS OUT OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT SUN WAS THAT " I WOULDN'T DRIVE THAT CAR IF I WERE YOU BECAUSE IT MIGHT BLOW UP". I KNEW THAT GM WOULD NEVER ADMIT TO ANY OF THIS SO I TAPED MOST OF MY CONVERSATIONS WITH ALL OF THEIR HEAD OFFICIALS AND STORED NUMEROUS COPIES WITH TWO SEPARATE ATTORNEY'S, MY FAMILY AND ONE COUSIN WHO WORKS FOR THE MEDIA IN CASE ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN. IT WAS ADMITTED TO ME A GM THAT THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME AND IT WOULDN'T BE THE LAST. I HAVE TAKEN MY YUKON OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED IT AWAY FROM ANYTHING FLAMMABLE WITH VERY LITTLE GAS IN THE TANK (WELL, THAT WAS HOW GM LEFT IT.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT ROTOR OUTER SURFACE HAS FULL METAL TO METAL CONTACT WITH ZERO BRAKE PAD MATERIAL AND HAD TO BE PRIED OUT. DRIVER SIDE FRONT ROTOR INNER HAS UNEVEN PARTIAL SURFACE CONTACT WITH ROTOR AND IS JAMMED IN THE CARRIER (UNABLE TO REMOVE BY HAND, HAD TO BE HAMMERED OUT OF THE CARRIER). PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE ROTOR OUTER HAS PERFECT SURFACE BUT BRAKE PAD LOOKED BRAND NEW... NO WEAR ON IT AND IS JAMMED IN THE CARRIER. PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE ROTOR INNER SURFACE HAS PARTIAL CONTACT WITH BRAKE PAD... HEAVY THICK RUSTY RIDGE FORMED AND BRAKE PAD SHOWED RIDGE IMPRESSION ON IT. CUSTOMER SAID THE BRAKE WAS DONE BY DEALER TWO YEARS AGO. THE MAIN CULPRIT IS THE BRAKE PADS ARE JAMMED IN THE CARRIER BECAUSE THE BRAKE PAD BACKING PLATE IS TOO LONG TO INSERT OR TO MOVE FREELY. THERE IS SOME KIND OF DESIGN FLAW/SPECIFICATION PROBLEM. THE DRIVER SIDE REQUIRED MUCH MORE SHORTENING OF THE NEW BRAKE PAD BACKING PLATE THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. BRAKE PAD TAB WIDTH WAS PERFECT AND MOVES EASILY WITH NO PLAY. IT IS ONLY THE LENGTH OF THE BRAKE PAD TABS ARE THE ISSUES. I AM NOT SURE IF THE BRAKE PAD/CALIPER CARRIER IS AT FAULT... POSSIBILITY OF BENDING OR TWISTING THAT MAY CAUSE THE ISSUE OF BRAKE PAD BEING JAMMED, OR TOO LONG TO INSERT. IT IS SUCH A STRONG METAL THAT THERE IS NO WAY ANY HUMAN CAN PHYSICALLY BEND IT NOR SIMPLY DROPPING IT. IT WOULD TAKE A SEVERE FORCE TO ACTUALLY BEND THE CARRIER SUCH AS THE VEHICLE ITSELF UNDER REPEATED BRAKING. I THINK THIS IS THE MOST PLAUSIBLE REASON FOR THIS SITUATION. NEW BRAKE PADS HAS SAME PROBLEM... THE LENGTH OF THE BACKING PLATE TABS ARE TOO LONG TO INSERT INTO CARRIER ON DRIVER SIDE AND THEY DO FIT TOO TIGHT IN PASSENGER SIDE CARRIER. WE HAD TO SHORTEN THE BRAKE PAD TABS TO ALLOW THE PADS TO MOVE SMOOTHLY IN THE CARRIER.

MY WIFE AND I HAD JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 GMC YUKON. LITTLE DID WE KNOW ABOUT THE MAJOR ISSUE THE TRUCK HAS WITH THE REDUCED POWER READING THAT COMES UP. I REALLY THINK THAT GMC NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THESE ISSUES. MY WIFE WAS ON HER WAY HOME FROM A WORK MEETING AND DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH HER SISTER AND MY WIFE'S AND MY DAUGHTER IN THE GMC YUKON AND SHE WAS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. SHE CALLED ME AND SHE WAS IN A PANIC. SHE HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN SHE DID THE VEHICLE HAD DIED IT TURNED OFF AND SHE HAD OUR 2 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WITH OUT A/C AND IN 100 DEGREE WEATHER. THIS ISSUE PUTS THE PEOPLE'S FAMILIES AT RISK THAT OWN THESE VEHICLES AND ALSO OTHER DRIVERS FAMILIES AT RISK YOU CAN NOT REPLACE A PERSONS LIFE IF ITS TAKEN AWAY AND THE HARDSHIP IT CAUSES BUT YOU CAN REPLACE A VEHICLE SO WHY NOT COME UP WITH SOLUTION SO THE ROAD MAY BECOME A LITTLE BIT OF A SAFER PLACE. WHEN MY WIFE HAD THIS HAPPEN OTHER DRIVERS WERE NOT COURTEOUS OR UNDERSTANDING WHEN SOMEONE PUTS THEIR HAZARD LIGHTS ON THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG, THEY JUST KEPT FLYING PAST HER. NOW WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME GM MAKE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RESOLVED. I HAVE LOOKED UP AND SAW CHEVY DOESN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE AND CHEVY IS THE SAME COMPANY. IF THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ASSOCIATION COULD CREATE THIS RECALL AND THEY COULD USE THE SAME PART FROM CHEVY THEN SURELY THIS ISSUE WOULD BE FIXED AND IT WOULD BE A SAFER VEHICLE. IF YOU WERE A COMPANY OWNER WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO STAND BY YOUR COMPANIES PRODUCTION AND CREATE SOLUTIONS IF THERE WERE THESE COMMON ISSUES? WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO HELP MAKE THE ROAD A SAFER PLACE BY ONE LITTLE FIX? IT WOULDN'T

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED. I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE ENGINE BEGINS TO RUN VERY HARD AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY AND CANNOT REACH FULL CAPACITY. THIS IS SOMEWHAT SCARY AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES, AS WELL AS JUST DRIVING AROUND MY RESIDENTIAL AREA, ALWAYS WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. USUALLY ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LEAVE IT FOR A LITTLE BIT, THEN RESTART IT, THE LIGHTS ARE OFF EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND THAT GMC SHOULD BE TAKING THIS SAFETY CONCERN VERY SERIOUSLY AS NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY IS DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2 complaints
Travelling on an FM road, going 55 when Yukon began accelerating on its own, even when I took foot off the accelerator. tapped brakes, thinking cruise control had engaged. Vehicle swerved violently. Speed kept increasing. Saw I was traveling 75mph! Braked hard! Felt as if acceleration was fighting against the brakes. Then spun out in the middle of the highway, spinning around 1 1/2 times while fully braking. Finally I slowed enough to throw it into park, regardless of what it might do to my transmission, I had to stop the vehicle. I came to rest straddling the lane I had been in and the oncoming lane, facing the direction from which I came. Traffic behind me had seen my struggles in time to stop back far enough that they weren’t endangered and there was no oncoming traffic at that moment. The fuel propulsion system (throttle?) seems to be at fault. There was no warning on the dash about any issue prior to this. The issue was real, a danger to myself and others. A mechanic examined the vehicle and discovered accumulation of debris on top of connector under the hood. He believed just enough water caused the conductivity needed to trigger the acceleration. State that these vehicles allow more intrusion from wheel well area than most. He thoroughly cleaned all connectors and no further issues have happened (yet!) Further research uncovered a report on ‘Sudden Unintended Acceleration’. The link follows: https://www.gmfullsize.com/threads/sudden-unintended-acceleration-gm-full-size-trucks.327479/ I also have a report quoting all the GM document #'s if need be.

ON 10/08/2020 I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 5 PM WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE DASH STARTED FLASHING FIRST IT WAS TURNING OFF THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE NEXT MESSAGE WAS GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE. AT THAT POINT, THE VEHICLE DROPPED TO ABOUT 30 MPH WITH FULL THROTTLE AND I HAD TO MANEUVER THRU TRAFFIC TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY. NOT EASY TO DO WITH A CAR THAT WILL ONLY DO 30 MPH OR SO. WITH CAUTION LIGHTS BLINKING AND WAVING AT CARS I NEARLY GOT REAR-ENDED TWICE BEFORE I COULD GET OFF THE FREEWAY.

2 complaints
The side air bags on the passenger and driver side front and back deployed while driving down the road. The driver side airbag hit my 19 year old son in the side of the face hard enough to cause his ears to ring. There was not a reason for the air bags to go off spontaneously. He had to pull to the side of the road blindly because he didn’t know if he had been hit by another vehicle. We have filed a complaint with GMC. This could have caused a serious wreck injuring my son or someone else on the road due to the shock and force of the air bags hitting him and the inability to see after they deployed. Yes it is available for inspection.

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT UP UNTIL JULY OF LAST YEAR (2014). I EXPERIENCED MY CAR JERKING ERRATICALLY AND HAD TO PULL OVER. THE CAR LOST SPEED AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC WHO THEN SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE JERKING STARTED AGAIN ON AND OFF, NO LOSS OF SPEED AND IT WOULD ONLY JERK GOING FORM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND. I HAVE NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD ONLY JERK EVERY SO OFTEN. NOW MY TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILIZER SERVICE WARNING MESSAGE POPS UP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL PLACES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY, ABS MODULE AND BOTH ARE NOT CHEAP TO FIX THEY ALL WANT TO CHARGE ME $500- $1200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I BEGAN RESEARCHING AND SEE THAT THE ISSUE I AM HAVING MAY BE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC BEFORE I START PAYING FOR MORE COSTLY REPAIRS. IF FOR SOME REASON THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED RADIO CONTROLS ON SOME 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI TRUCKS WITH THE SIX DISC CD CHANGER. ONE OF THESE CONTROLS IS SUPPOSE TO ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE THE DISC THAT IS PLAYING TO ANOTHER ONE OF THE SIX THAT YOU HAVE LOADED INTO THE CHANGER. ON SOME OF THESE TRUCKS THE WRONG WIRING HARNESS WAS INSTALLED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BUILT ALONG WITH THE WRONG SOFTWARE BEING LOADED INTO THE ELECTRONIC MODULE. THIS PREVENTS THIS CONTROL FROM FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. INSTEAD OF CHANGING THE DISC THAT IS PLAYING, IT SIMPLE GOES TO THE NEXT SONG ON THAT SAME CD. THERE IS ALREADY A CONTROL ON THE STEERING COLUMN TO DO THIS. WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP HE SAID AT FIRST THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROL MODULE WAS BAD AND THEN THAT THE RADIO WAS DEFECTIVE. BOTH ITEMS WERE REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. HE THEN CHECKED SOME OF THE OTHER YUKON DENALIS THAT HE HAD IN STOCK AND TOLD ME THAT ON SOME OF THESE CARS THE CONTROLS WORKED PROPERLY AND ON SOME THEY DID NOT. HE THEN TOLD ME ABOUT THE WIRING HARNESS AND SOFTWARE PROBLEM. GM'S POSITION IS THAT THESE CARS ARE BUILT PROPERLY AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PAGE 336 OF THE OWNERS MANUAL CLEARLY SAYS THAT THIS BUTTON SHOULD CHANGE THE DISC THAT IS PLAYING. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE NOW WHEN YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE DISC YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD AND LOOK DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD AND LOCATE A SMALL 1/4" BY 1/2" BUTTON AND PUSH IT. THIS CAN CAUSE YOU TO DRIFT OUT OF YOUR LANE OF TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS, AFTER ALL, IS A PRIMARY PURPOSE OF STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS FOR RADIOS-YOU CAN KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND FORCE GM TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *JB

THE SUV WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 15MPH REQUIRING MY TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I STARED THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE SUV STARTED RIGHT UP BUT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT REMAINED ON.

THE 2007 GMC YUKON (& CHEVROLET TAHOE) HAVE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE / PROBLEM. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO READ IN DAYTIME (SUNNY) CONDITIONS. MOST OF THE TIME DURING DAYTIME/SUNNY CONDITIONS YOU CAN NOT JUST GLANCE AT THE INSTRUMENTS TO READ THEM. YOU HAVE TO DIVERT YOUR ATTENTION FOR 2 OR MORE SECONDS TO READ EVEN THE SPEEDOMETER (WHICH IS THE EASIEST TO READ). ALL INSTRUMENTS HAVE BLACK FACES WITH WHITE MARKINGS WHICH ARE LEGIBLE DAY AND NIGHT. THE DAYTIME VISUAL RECOGNITION PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY TWO CONDITIONS. 1) RED POINTERS THAT DO NOT CONTRAST SUFFICIENTLY WITH THE BLACK FACE, AND 2) DASH COWLING SHADING/GLARE PROBLEMS. THE TOP LEFT (OIL PRESSURE) AND TOP RIGHT (VOLTMETER) GAUGES ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO READ. THE BOTTOM RIGHT (COOLANT TEMP) IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. THE BOTTOM LEFT (FUEL) IS DIFFICULT TO VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. THE TWO LARGE CENTER GAUGES (TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER) ARE DIFFICULT TO READ. THE TIME / ATTENTION REQUIRED TO READ THESE GAUGES PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE YOU ARE FORCED TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR FAR TO LONG (OR TO KEEP REPEATING LOOKS TO CHECK YOUR SPEED / FUEL STATUS. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 GMC YUKON AND MADE A ROAD TRIP OF 3000 MILES. TWO DRIVERS HAD SIMILAR VISUAL RECOGNITION PROBLEMS DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. I GAVE UP EVEN TRYING TO READ THE OTHER GAUGES. IF YOU WEAR SUNGLASSES YOU HAVE TO LIFT THEM TO TRY TO READ THE GAUGES. THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO (HAVE TO DO) TO LESSEN THE VISUAL RECOGNITION PROBLEM. 1) TURN ON THE LIGHTS (PROVIDES MINIMAL DASH ILLUMINATION), 2) CLOSE THE SUNROOF SHADE (REDUCES GLARE), AND 3) PLACE YOU HAND ABOVE YOUR EYES AS A SHIELD (REDUCES GLARE). I HAVE TALKED TO THE GM DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD INCREASE ILLUMINATION ON THE DASH LIGHTING. (THAT WOULD STILL MEAN I WOULD HAVE TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS DURING THE DAY.) BOTTOM LINE - THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING - THEY CAN'T RE-ENGINEER GM'S PRODUCT. *JB

In these vehicles between two thousand and five and two thousand and seven are constantly, such as my vehicle, low oil pressure and lower rod bearing failure constant is which what I have and due to wiring cruise control becomes no good because of computer failure. I cannot afford to fix the lower rod bearings and notice that you have already a recall for trucks, twenty twenty one and up.But this problem has been ongoing from gm since twenty twenty five or more. I also took my vehicle in for an airbag recall.And after that, I still have an airbag light on after they fix the airbag recall.0

Thr lifters shut down the engine and caused it to completely turn off the vehicle while in motion. It is available for inspection. Has not been confirmed by dealer. The code read cylinder 1 misfire but the lifters were not functional. The seizure of the engine and full stop of the vehicle while in motion nearly caused a 3 car pile up and a close collision into a fire hydrant as the steering locked and emergency brakes were not functional. There was no other warning lamps or messages offered prior to the shut down.

WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WOULD RESET ITSELF AND THE CODES WOULD GO AWAY TEMPORARILY. THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND CABLES. I HAD TO GET TOWED OFF THE HIGHWAY AS THIS HAPPENS SO RANDOMLY. THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THAT IT IS A MYSTERY TO THEM AS THEY HAVE CALLED THEIR GMC SPECIALTY TECHNICIANS FOR ADVICE. FINALLY, I WENT ONLINE AND STARTED A FORUM TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THESE ISSUES THAT NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SEVERAL SIMILAR STORIES 'CAR FORUMS/ GMC/ GMC ENVOY XL". I AM SURPRISED THIS IS NOT A RECALL AND SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY. CHANGED SENSORS ON TIRES THAT WEREN'T THE ISSUE SINCE THE INDICATOR LIGHT STILL COMES ON. I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FLASHING AND THE CAR SHUTTING OFF.

THE PLASTIC DASH BOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING OVER THE YEARS. IT IS NOW BREAKING INTO JAGGED PIECES THAT ARE FREE TO FLY AROUND THE PASSENGER CABIN. CRACKED PIECES AROUND THE AIR BAG POSE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM TO THE EYES AND FACE OF PASSENGERS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. ELECTRICAL WIRES ARE ALSO EXPOSED TO UV LIGHT CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY CARED FOR WITH NO OTHER MAJOR FAILURES TO SPEAK OF. I BELIEVE THAT THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DASH SITUATION HAS BEEN CAUSED BY SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS USED IN MANUFACTURING.

HAPPENED TWO TIMES YESTERDAY. 2007 YUKON DENALI ODOMETER: 191,707 ENGINE HOURS: 1443.9 FIRST, STABILITRAK CONTROL TURNED OFF AND ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED ILLUMINATED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER OF THE DASH BOARD. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 20 MPH. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO PUSH THE GAS PETAL THERE WOULD BE A SHUTTER IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND TRIED RESTARTING. SAME ISSUES CONTINUED. I LIMPED TO MY WORK A LESS THAN A MILE AWAY TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING AS I HAD MYSELF AND 4 KIDS IN THE CAR AFTER TRICK OR TREATING. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND WAITED FOR A BIT WHILE I READ ONLINE WHAT WAS CAUSING THIS. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN AS NORMAL. SAFETY RISK WHEN YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH ON A 45 MILE PER HOUR ROAD. SECOND OCCURANCE WAS A FEW HOURS LATER. I TURNED THE CAR ON TO LEAVE AND THE SAME THINGS HAPPENED, THIS TIME IT WAS DRIVING LIKE I HAD LOST MY POWER STEERING AND NO ENGINE POWER. LUCKILY, AGAIN, I WAS IN A SPOT TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE, TURN THE CAR OFF AND MADE IT HOME OKAY. THIS CAR HAS A BRAND NEW ENGINE. UPON READING HERE AND SOME OTHER THINGS ONLINE IT SEEMS THE STABILITRAK HAS NUMBEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME THING. LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN IN A SPOT WHERE IT DIDN'T BECOME DANGEROUS AND I KNEW WHAT TO DO BASED ON READING HERE. I USE MY YUKON FOR WORK SO CAN'T HAVE THIS HAPPENING AND IT'S DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF, MY KIDS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD IF THEY HAPPEN TO BE BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAPPENS. HOPEFULLY WITH ENOUGH COMPLAINTS SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE INCLUDED A PIC OF THE SYMBOL THAT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

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 HAVE JUST READ A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT AN ISSUE I AM HAVING NOW, AND HAVE HAD 3 TIMES IN THE PAST. WHILE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, I HAVE HAD MY SUV BECOME VERY SLUGGISH AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. LIGHTS COME ON SAY LOSS OF POWER, STABILITRAC PROBLEM ETC. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS VISITING ORLANDO FLORIDA. I TOOK THE SUV TO A DEALER, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ECM AND REPROGRAMMED IT. I LEFT BACK THE NEXT DAY FOR ATLANTA. NEARLY 80 MILES AWAY IN OCALA FLORIDA, IT STARTED DOING THIS AGAIN. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK, AND HAD IT TAKEN TO AN OCALA DEALERSHIP. THEY IN TURN TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD ECM, AND AFTER SPENDING AN ENTIRE DAY IN OCALA, I WAS BACK ON MY WAY TO ATLANTA. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, I HAD THIS OCCUR AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN I HAD IT TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP IN ATLANTA. THEY RAN A COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS ON IT, AND SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN ECM PROBLEM, AS THE CODE COMING UP WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR IN THE FLOOR BOARD THAT READS THE DISTANCEOF THE GAS PEDAL FROM THE FLOOR BOARD. AS IT IS A DRIVE BY SENSOR VS DRIVE BY WIRE. THEY REPAIRED THIS, AND ALTHOUGH I FELT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THE TIME, THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS THAT WERE SUPPOSEDLY DIAGNOSED WRONG WERE DONE SO WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY ENDED UP CUTTING THE COSTS IN HALF. I HAD NO CHOICE, AS I NEEDED MY VEHICLE BACK. NOW IT HAS OCCURRED THE FORTH TIME. I HAVE RESORTED TO THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHER ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT I'M FINDING THROUGH THIS RESEARCH, IT SOUNDS AS IF MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. WHILE RESEARCHING, I WAS ALERTED TO THIS SITE, THUS THE REASON I'M POSTING HERE. MAYBE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS IT SEEMS THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN, AND GMC IS KEEPING IT UNDER WRAPS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH COMING FROM A SUPERVISION TRAINING CLASS ALONG WITH A CO-WORKER AND THE FOLLOWING SENSOR LIGHTS STARTED APPEARING ON MY DASHBOARD: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITRAK OFF. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE GM SERVICE AT LEAST TWICE AND PRIVATE REPAIR FACILITIES NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE SITUATION CONTINUES. IT IS NOW 01-28-2014 AND THE SITUATION CONTINUES AND IS GETTING WORSE. ALONE WITH THE ABOVE ISSUES NOW THE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND NO REPAIR FACILITY, GM OR OTHERWISE, KNOWS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO DRIVE SO THIS VEHICLE IS WHAT I DRIVE BUT, IT IS DANGEROUS AND GM NEEDS TO FIX IT OR RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I NEED ANSWERS QUICKLY I FEAR THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS FOR ALL CONCERNED ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON A FREEWAY!! *TR

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN ITHACA, (MAQUIRE CHEVY-CADILLAC) NEAR ITHACA MALL. THE VEHICLE ENGINE SOUND LIKE IF SOMEONE WAS HITTING THE ENGINE WITH A HARD OBJECT, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM,LATER THAT NIGHT I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND DROVE LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SAME NOISE CAME BACK ON. DROVE BACK AND COMPLAIN OF THE PROBLEM THAT BEING FIX AND WAS GIVEN A RENTAL CAR. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE REP. THAT A LIFTER HAD WENT ON THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD COST APPROX. 1,600.00 TO FIX THAT PROBLEM BUT WHEN NOT GUARANTEE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A OUTSIDE MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME THAT IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED UP HIS SCREEN AND ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS ON IT. I PAID $4,774.84 FOR A NEW ENGINE, BUT GMC DID NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. ALL I WANT FOR LABOR IS $600.00 AND 203.00 FOR THE RENTAL CAR. I HAVE RECEIPTS TO SHOW WHAT WAS PAID AND THE BREAK OF WHAT NEEDED TO DONE TO ENGINE. I CONTACTED GMC 1-800 NUMBER WHICH WAS A JOKE, THEY LISTEN BUT REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I NEEDED THE VEHICLE TO BE FIX, WHICH WAS AN EMERGENCY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

MY WIFE'S 2007 YUKON XL HAD A MESSAGE THAT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS OFF AND A REDUCTION IN POWER MESSAGE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR DURING RUSH HOUR. WHEN THIS MESSAGE CAME ON THE YUKON CAME TO A VERY DANGEROUS REDUCTION IN SPEED AND WAS VERY CLOSE TO GETTING REARENDED BY THE VEHICLES BEHIND HER. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE MESSAGE RESET BUT CAME BACK ON SOON AFTER SHE GOT BACK UP TO SPEED AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND CHECKED ALL GROUND STRAPS REPLACED THE BATTERY AND HAVE CHECKED THE HARNESS. THE ISSUE HAS CONTINUED AND SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY IT IS GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE TO START REPLACING PARTS ON THE VEHICLE JUST TO HAVE IT DO THE SAME THING. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE ARE NO RECALLS BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS ON LINE WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE GM PRODUCTS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR KILLED. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR PRODUCTS THAT ARE INVOLVED AND REPAIR THEM.- *TR

ON JULY 26, 2013 I WAS IN MY 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI WHEN I HAD AN ISSUE. I WAS IN MY CAR, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT IT WAS IN PARK. I WAS IDLING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN I RECEIVED A "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF AND GAVE IT ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON WITH THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE STABILITRAC", "STABILITRAC OFF", SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", AND "POWER ASSIST OFF". I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO TRY TO BRING THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. AFTER I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE PART FOR ROUGHLY ABOUT $300 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY WITH ALL OF THE MESSAGES. SINCE THE REPAIR I DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 60 MILES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AGAIN, AND THE CAR SEEMS TO BE FIXED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER SINCE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OF US WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

STABILITRACK LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR GOES TO IDLE AND HAS NO POWER TO ACCELERATE, ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. ONCE PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, SHUT ENGINE DOWN AND WAITED 15 MINS TO RESTART. STABILITY TRACK LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND CAR ACCELERATES NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS AN EXTREME HAZARD! I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND DEALER HAS NO RESOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY JUST CHARGE CONSUMERS FOR PARTS THAT ARE NOT REALLY RESOLVING THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND CRASHED INTO FENCE.

MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED FROM THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND AT THIS POINT IT IS UNABLE TO BE SOLVED PERMANENTLY TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER. IT DOES IT WHENEVER AND WHEREVER WITHOUT KNOWING. GOES FROM HIGH RATE OF SPEED TO ZERO. ALMOST HAD A SEMI SLAM INTO MYSELF ON THE INTERSTATE. I COULD NOT PULL OVER.

LAST NOVEMBER THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAD TO PICK IT UP OFF OF THE INTERSTATE WHICH SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT. BRAKE ISSUES. WHEN YOU SPEND 48,000 DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE IT MAKES YOU SAD THAT GM DOES NOTHING TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS. MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT HELP THEM ANYMORE.

I NOTICED AN APPROXIMATE 4'' CRACK ON MY DASH BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND STEERING WHEEL HUMP. I THEN NOTICED A SIMILAR CRACK EMERGING NEAR THE TOP LEFT PORTION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE EMPLOYEES WHERE I GET MY CAR WASH WERE APPLYING TOO MUCH PRESSURE. HOWEVER, AFTER LOOKING ONLINE TO BUY A NEW DASH, I FOUND THAT I WAS AMONG MANY GMC OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I DONT THINK IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT WE ALL HAVE THE SAME CRACKS, IN THE SAME LOCATION ON THE DASH. ALSO, THE CHROME PLATING ON BOTH MY DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER INNER DOOR HANDLES IS PEELING OFF. I HEARD THAT EXPOSURE TO THE SUN MAY BE A CAUSE, HOWEVER, MY TWO FRONT WINDOWS HAVE HAD 5% TINT ON THEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT. ALSO, I JUST GOT MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUES. THE PROBLEM IS FIXED FOR NOW, HOWEVER, AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF GMC YUKON OWNERS EXPERIENCE VERY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLE'S ENGINE.

ALL OF WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IS NORMAL FOR THE TRUCK. THEY REMOVED THE DRIVESHAFT BECAUSE OF CLUNKING AT 25K MI. REACTION CARRIER REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION RECONDITIONED AT 36,663 MI AFTER CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED IN. AT 62K MILES ENGINE LIGHT ON AND IDLES ROUGH. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY. AT 67K WON'T ENGAGE IN REVERSE AND MAKES CLUNKING SOUND FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. REPLACED REVERSE HOUSING, REACTION SHELL, ETC. AT 75K HAD A REACTION CARRIER FAILURE, LOST POWER BRAKES AND LOST POWER TO THE CAR. ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED. HAD TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF PARKING LOT DURING CHRISTMAS RUSH. WAITED 5 MIN AND RESTARTED. ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE CLEANED EVERY 15K MILES UNDER SERVICE MAINTENANCE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS! NOT REALLY SURE WHY IT HAD TO BE CLEANED, THOUGH, JUST HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED 13K MILES AGO. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MAJOR FLAWS IN THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE. OBVIOUSLY, THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN PUTTING BAND AIDS ON MY PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX. I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY THAT MY FAMILY AND CHILDREN HAVE NOT BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE MAJOR FLAWS IN THE ENGINE DESIGNS. EVERY TIME I GET MY CAR FIXED, THE TECH ASSURES ME THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH SO MANY CLOSE CALLS. THE CAR IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE! *TR

FROM TAIL LIGHTS GOING OUT AT ONE TIME, THE DOOR KNOB FALLING OFF, THE ARM OF THE SEAT BROKE AND NOW THE HEAD LIGHT JUST WENT OUT. BRAKE ISSUES AND I CALLED GMC TO TELL THEM THAT THIS PART FELL OFF AND THEY WERE NOT SURE IF IT IS UNDER WARRANTY.

FIRST, THE BATTERY DIES IF THE RADIO IS TURNED ON FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES WITH THE ENGINE OFF. THE CAR NEEDED A JUMP-START. THIS HAPPENED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. SECOND, THERE IS A DELAY WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY STATING "THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE." LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, SAME THING STARTS AGAIN. SO I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION AGAIN. IRONICALLY, THIS TIME THE BATTERY ACTUALLY DIED AT THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER A FEW HOURS, THE DEALER STATES THAT THE BATTERY IS "DEFECTIVE" AGAIN!! AND NOW THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THE OLD DEFECTIVE BATTERY THAT THEY REPLACED. MY 2007 YUKON DENALI XL WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND WENT THROUGH THREE NEW BATTERIES. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MY WIFE AND THREE KIDS ARE STRANDED AGAIN??? THIS IS NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM.

THE DIFFERENTIAL GEARS BROKE..I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE LAST DEALER THAT REPAIRED VEHICLE AND THEY MENTIONED IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY ( WHICH IS WHY THEY COULDN'T INSPECT IT UNLESS I PAID). I THEN TOOK IT TO MY HOME DEALER WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND THEY DISCOVERED AN INTACT SCREW WHEN THEY REMOVED THE COVER FROM DIFFERENTIAL. MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE PREVIOUS DEALER THAT WORKED ON VEHICLE MIGHT HAVE NOT TIGHTENED BOLT CORRECTLY SINCE BOLT HAD NO DAMAGE OF THREADS AND WAS INTACT. I THEN CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. SERVICE DIRECTOR DID MENTION THAT AXLES COULD HAVE SHOT OUT AND CAUSED FATAL CRASH KEEP IN MIND MY DAUGHTER OF AGE 6 WAS IN THE CAR.DEALER (HOME DEALER) STILL HAS VEHICLE AND DEALER THAT LAST REPAIRED REFUSES TO CORRECT PROBLEM.
