OUR 2008 GMC YUKON WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR MANY YEARS NOW, AND STILL HAS NOT BE RESOLVED. IT SEEMS THAT TAKATA AND GMC HAVE IGNORED THE IMPORTANCE OF REPLACING THE AIRBAGS. IT IS SHOCKING THAT OUR GOVERNMENT HAS NOT FORCED THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FOR ALL THESE YEARS. WE PURCHASED OUR 2008 GMC YUKON NEW IN AUGUST, 2008. I DO NOT HAVE A PROPER DATE FOR THE DATE LISTED AS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN LISTED BELOW, SO JUST PUT AUGUST 1, 2008 SO THAT I COULD GET ON TO THE NEXT PAGE, IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO LEAVE THAT FIELD BLANK.

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 3 YEARS FOR THIS MATTER TO BE PUT IN TO AN ACTION PLAN. WE DRIVE THE NOTED 2008 YUKON DENALI DAILY TO AND FROM WORK AS WELL AS TAKE OUR PASSENGERS TO SCHOOL. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE AND WISH TO REQUEST THAT THE AIR BAG NOTED BE SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT. WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE NOTED ISSUES THAT IT MAY CAUSE AND FEEL THAT WE HAVE BEEN P PUT IN HARMS WAY VIA THE KNOWLEDGE AND DECISON TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. PLEASE ADVISE WHEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THE NEW PRODUCT SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION. TK HOLDINGS INC. ('TAKATA') HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATORS INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT IN CERTAIN 2007 TO 2014 MODEL YEAR CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE ESV, AND ESCALADE EXT VEHICLES; CERTAIN CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SILVERADO 1500, SILVERADO 2500/3500, SUBURBAN, AND TAHOE VEHICLES; AND CERTAIN GMC SIERRA 1500, SIERRA 2500/3500, YUKON, AND YUKON XL VEHICLES. THE DETERMINATION WAS MADE THAT THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CYCLING, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE DURING A DEPLOYMENT. SAFETY RISK AN INflATOR RUPTURE MAY CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG AND INTO THE VEHICLE INTERIOR AT HIGH SPEED, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

Large dashboard cracks near airbags. Apparently widespread problem among GM products. I do not know if this will affect airbag safety or not. No incident involved yet.
Jul 19, 2021
THE HATCH DOOR WILL NOT STAY OPEN IN COLD WEATHER. EVEN AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE 60'S, IT OPENS AND THEN CLOSES AND IS VERY FORCEFULLY, EVEN KNOCKED ME IN THE HEAD AND KEPT SHUTTING. IT IS ALWAYS STATIONARY AND ONLY IN COOLER WEATHER, ALL OTHER TIMES IT WORKS CORRECTLY.

I HAVE AN 2008 YUKON WITH A CRACKED DASH BOARD IN MANY DEFERENTS PARTS. THE CRACKS ARE SO BAD THAT WHILE DRIVING EVERYTHING SHAKES AND MAKE ALL RADDLING NOISES. THE SECTION AROUND THE AIR BAG MAKES LOTS OF NOISE. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. JUST BOUGH THE CAR ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IT WAS CRACKED THEN.
Jun 21, 2020
THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, SHUT DOWN WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD. DASHBOARD WAS OFF AND IT COASTED TO A STOP. FORTUNATELY IT WAS ON A CITY ROAD WITH VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC (BUT THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY FREQUENTLY). ONCE IT WAS PUT IN PARK, THE KEY WAS TURNED, IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED AGAIN AND RAN PERFECTLY.
Nov 20, 2019
THERE ARE 3 MAJOR CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD, TWO OF WHICH EMINATE FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING. I SEE WHERE THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THE DASH BOARD NOW MOVES UP AND DOWN AND RATTLES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHICH MUST BE ADDRESSED BY MANUFACTURER THROUGH A RECALL. THE CRACKS JUST APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. I TAKE EXCEEDINGLY GOOD CARE OF CAR BUT REPLACING AN ENTIRE DASHBOARD BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN SHOULD BE COVERED BY MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU.

Dashboard is severely cracked & rattles so badly that it interferes with hearing outside & inside noises & communication. Has gotten worse over past year. Dealer confirmed that the problem was prevalent among several GM models, including my model. I was also told that a class action suit was filed against GMC for this problem, but was dismissed by judicial system.

VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY CAUGHT FIRE IN THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE.

THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH PAST REPORTS OF FIRES STARTING DUE TO THE HEATED WASHER FLUID SYSTEM WHICH THIS VEHICLE HAD. THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALLS ON THIS CAR.

DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. THREE OF FOUR DOOR ACTUATORS ARE BROKEN AND LOCKS MUST BE CONTROLLED MANUALLY. GMC WANTED 655.00 TO FIX THE TWO I KNEW WERE BROKEN. GMC IS WELL AWARE OF THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I WAS NOT AWARE THE THIRD LOCK HAD FAILED UNTIL MY SON OPENED A BACK DOOR AND STEPPED INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION HIS DOOR WAS LOCKED. ALL I COULD DO WAS SCREAM AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP HIM FROM GETTING HIT BY TRAFFIC.

DOORS LOCKED WITH REMOTE. 2ND ROW PASSENGER DOOR BEHIND DRIVERS DOOR FAILED TO ACTUATE WITH REMOTE OR WITH DOOR LOCKS.

2008 GMC YUKON XL - 5 DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES. ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED AND NOW THE REAR PASSENGER LOCK ACTUATOR HAS FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME.

MANY CASES OF THIS SAME FAILURE CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AND IN MY CASE, 5 FAILURES OF THE SAME PART. I WOULD SAY THIS INDICATES A PROBLEM. WHY WON'T GM ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AND OFFER TO FIX IT?

I IMMEDIATELY SAW THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TAKATA AIR BAG INFLATORS ARE UNDER RECALL WITH A STATUS OF REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE ACCORDING TO THE CARFAX I RAN AND AT SAFERCAR.GOV MAKING THE DASH A TICKING TIME BOMB WITH SHRAPNEL AS A BONUS TO POSSIBLY INJURE OR KILL MYSELF OR MY WIFE IN THE EVENT THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED A RIDICULOUS REPAIR PRICE AND ADMITTED THAT A CRACKED DASHES ARE AN ISSUE WITH THE YUKON. A DASH COVER IS NOTHING BUT A BAND AID ON A BROKEN LEG. I WANT GM TO ISSUE A RECALL.

THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT BY GM. MY UNCLE HAS A 2008 GMC YUKON XL 4WD. WHEN IT IS PUT IN PARK IT WILL ROLL AWAY ON ITS OWN. WE FIRST NOTICED IT ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, BUT THOUGHT IT HAD TO BEEN THAT IT WAS ON ICE OR SOMETHING AND IT ROLLED ABOUT 40-50 FEET BACK. WELL LAST SATURDAY I WAS HELPING TO UNLOAD GROCERIES OUT OF IT WITH MY MOM AND UNCLE. JUST AS I PULLED THE LAST BAG OUT IT ROLLED BACK. I SEEN THE TIRES ROLLING. IT ALMOST RAN ME OVER, BUT I MOVED JUST IN TIME TO HAVE IT KNOCK ME ON TO MY KNEES. WELL THE DRIVER DOOR WAS OPEN AND IT CAUGHT ME AND DRAGGED ME ABOUT 40-50 FEET. WELL THE TAIL GATE HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD THEN THE DOOR GOT MY ARM PRETTY GOOD. I AM NOW GOING TO THE DOCTOR FOR THIS. TODAY, WE MOVED IT TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD DO AND SURE ENOUGH IT DID IT RIGHT AWAY AS TO WHERE BEFORE IT WOULD TAKE 15-20 MIN. IT WAS JUST PARKED, WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND LOW AND BEHOLD IT ROLLED AWAY AGAIN. WHEN IT DRUG ME BEFORE, I GOT IN IT AFTERWARDS AND IT WAS IN PARK. NOT A DRIVER ERROR AT ALL. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE 2 OTHER STORIES SIMILAR TO THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY THIS ISSUE IF IT IS NOT DEALT WITH. IF IT WOULD OF RUN OVER ME, I WOULD OF DIED AND IT CAME [XXX] CLOSE. WE ARE GOING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT MONDAY TO TAKE IT IN. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW, LIKE WHERE WHEN AND SO ON?

VEHICLE HAS TRANSMISSION DEFECT. MERGING INTO TRAFFIC IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE TRANSMISSION OFTEN SELECTS TOO HIGH OF A GEAR AND THERE IS NO POWER FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE.

AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES DOWNSHIFT INTO TOO LOW OF A GEAR, CAUSING IT TO LUNGE FORWARD AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH RATE OF SPEED THAT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. DEALER AND GMC HAVE LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM SAYING IT IS NORMAL OPERATION. *TR

POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN OVER TIRES LOSING AIR PRESSURE DUE TO LEAKS CAUSED AT TIRE/WHEEL INTERFACE. ROOT CAUSE IS THAT CHROME PLATING ON ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE PEELING, RESULTING IN CORROSION OF THE ALUMINUM SUBSTRATE CAUSING INABILITY TO ACHIEVE PROPER SEALING BETWEEN THE TIRE AND THE RIM. IT IS KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY THAT CHROME PLATING ON ALUMINUM HAS A LIMITED LIFE EXPECTANCY (APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS) BEFORE PEELING OF THE CHROME OCCURS...MORE ROBUST COATING METHODS ARE AVAILABLE, SUCH AS PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (PVD). ..

TIRES
3 complaints
The contact owns a 2008 GMC Yukon Denali equipped with Vogue Tires, Tire Line: Custom Built Radial, Tire Size: 305/35/R24, DOT number: 53B3C055020. The contact stated that the front driver's side tire exhibited a crack on the side wall. The contact stated that on various occasions, the tire pressure was low and required adding air frequently to the tire. Additionally, the contact then stated that all four tires exhibited cracks on the sidewall, causing him to inflate the tires daily. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who confirmed there were no nails in the tires. The tires were not replaced. The tires were replacement tires. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available. The vehicle and tire failure mileages were unknown.

Driving north on I-94, leaving the city of Chicago, the rear driver side tire (Bridestone Dueler P285/45R22) blew and the outer side wall seem to have a defect (weak side wall). This should never happen in a passenger car and the manufacturer should have better QUALITY CONTROL and prevent these defects from leaving the plants. I have a MS in Mechanical Engineering and have knowledge of the tire designs, as we did research for Firestone in the 1980's at my university, and this is definitely a defect within a weak part of the fabric in the sidewall. If you would like the tire for your investigation, please let me know ASAP. Other industries like the Medical and Pharma areas would not allow this kind of thing to happen and passenger vehicles with defective parts or components should never jeopardize any passenger to be in this kind of situation. Luckily, it was very early in the morning, with very light traffic, and no one in my car or any of the cars around me got hurt, as I was able to maneuver to the right side of the highway.

HE BELIEVED THAT THE PASSENGER TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE INSUFFICIENT FOR TOWING A TRAILER. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE STANDARD FOR THAT MODEL. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED THAT THE TRAILER WAS OVERLOADED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE TOWS UP TO 8,100 LBS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500. UPDATED 05/19/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HE EXPERIENCED SEVERE SWAYING PROBLEMS WHILE TOWING HIS TRAILER. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE FACTORY INSTALLED TIRES WERE DESIGNED WITH SOFT SIDEWALLS FOR A SMOOTH RIDE IN A PASSENGER CAR AND NOT FOR THE TRAILER TOWING WHICH REQUIRED TIRES WITH STIFF SIDEWALLS TO DISCOURAGE SWAYING. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE LIGHT TRUCK TIRES. UPDATE 05/20/08. *JB

MY 2008 YUKON HAS HAD AN ELECTRICAL MYSTERY FOR AWHILE NOW. WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOORS THE "CHIME" WILL BE VERY FAINT AND THEN THE NEXT TIME IT'S VERY LOUD. THE CLOCK RESETS LIKE THE BATTERY HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF. THE DOOR LOCKS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES WILL I'M DRIVING. I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AFTER DRIVING IT AND IT WILL BE COMPLETELY DEAD. IT WONT DO ANYTHING. YOU CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS, TURN ON THE RADIO, START THE CAR OR ANYTHING. ALMOST LIKE IT DOESNT HAVE A BATTERY AT ALL. WAIT 10 MINUTES OR SO AND SLAM A FEW DOORS AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP. WE'VE REPLACED BATTERIES, ALTERNATORS, FUSES AND TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS WITH NO LUCK. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY IT WILL WORK FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEN IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. THERE HAS TO BE A SHORT SOMEWHERE AND AFTER GOOGLING IT THERE ARE 1000 OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. WE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2017 AND I'M POSITIVE THE OWNER BEFORE ME HAD THE SAME ISSUES.

MY TRUCK ACCELERATES AND ABRUPTLY STOPS WHILE SLOWING DOWN UNDER 20 MPH. UNDER 20 MPH THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSE TO SWITCH OVER TO CONNECT TO HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPS WHILE TURNING OR SOMETIMES THE CAR CUTS ALL THE WAY OFF. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010 AND I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2013. OVERTIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY WOULD TELL ME THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I RECENTLY HAD MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE LIFTERS ACCORDING TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. THE COST WAS 6000 TO REPAIR. AFTER REPAIRING THE LIFTERS THE CAR STILL HAS THE SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATING AND STOPPING ISSUES.WE WERE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CHEVROLET THAT WE SHOULD "JUST DUMP THE VEHICLE AND THEY HAD A HYBRID IN THE BACK THEY HAD OVER A MONTH AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG WITH IT". I PAID OVER 38,000 FOR THIS TRUCK AT THEIR DEALER SHIP. IVE INVESTED THOUSANDS IN REPAIR COSTS. I WON'T SELL IT BECAUSE I KNOW IT HAS SAFETY HAZARDS. I DRIVE WITH CAUTION BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT THE CAR TO ACCELERATE.

MY CODE SCANNER DISPLAYS CODE 641 WHICH IS OPEN 5VOLT REFERENCE ON BANK 1. IT DOES THIS MORE WHEN THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS WARMER OR THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING STILL WHILE RUNNING.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES OF DOOR LOCKING MECHANISMS. MOST RECENT FAILURE HAS AFFECTED THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS WHICH ARE NOT KEYED FROM THE OUTSIDE, SO ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK IS TO CRAWL OVER SEATS TO UNLOCK. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN SINCE WE HAVE HAD SMALL CHILDREN IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE THAT CAN NOT EXIT THEIR SEATS ON THEIR OWN. THIS COULD INCREASE THE CHANGE OF BODILY INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT AND RESULT IN EXTRA TIME NEEDED TO EXTRICATE PEOPLE FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME BODY STYLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS FIXED ONE OF THE ACTUATORS AND INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE FAILURES, WHICH MEANS GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THESE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISMS. *TR

I purchased a MagnaFlow aftermarket catalytic converter system for my 2008 GMC Yukon SLT 5.3L through Walmart’s online marketplace, sold by a third-party vendor called OurDealsRock. The product was advertised as “50-state legal” and compatible with vehicles registered in New York State. However, shortly after installation, my check engine light turned on, and diagnostic codes P0420 and P0430 (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold) appeared. Initially, I thought this was a minor sensor issue, but over time, the vehicle’s performance gradually deteriorated. I noticed reduced acceleration, poor fuel economy, and eventually significant loss of power. The vehicle began shaking under load, misfiring, and overheating. These symptoms worsened steadily—not immediately—but progressively after continued driving with the aftermarket converter installed. I had the vehicle inspected by a certified mechanic, who confirmed that the MagnaFlow converter was not CARB-compliant, was not approved for use in New York, and that it had been illegally marketed as such. He also informed me that prolonged use of a non-compliant, malfunctioning converter caused excessive backpressure, leading to complete engine failure over time. The diagnosis was confirmed by a second mechanic before I committed to the engine replacement. The product was later removed from Walmart’s site, becoming unavailable for sale in my zip code [XXX] ) shortly after my initial complaint. This shows clear acknowledgment that it should never have been sold to a New York consumer in the first place. But by the time it was taken down, the damage had already been done. Component/system that failed: •MagnaFlow aftermarket catalytic converter system •Ultimately caused failure of the vehicle’s engine block Safety concerns: •My family and I were unknowingly driving with a damaged and failing engine •The vehicle’s degraded performance, overheating, and power loss could have compromised our safety during highway d INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

It started shutting off at a light for autostop.but when it would turn green it would intermittently just drop out of autostop without restarting. Then may start back up or maybe not, many time after restarting at the light it would died in the middle of the inspection. A parasitic draw kept killing the accessory 12 V battery replaced the 12 V battery but the problem continued. When the truck was running it would run flawlessly,before stalling. The code said to replace the auxiliary fluid pump. I had it a new auxiliary fluid pump installed. After this the vehicle wouldnt crank. They then worked through a service bulliten fixing a list of areas were the harness was chaffed and shorted. The truck has been out of commission the past 10 months and intermittently started twice during this time, it ran rough for 5 mins and died out at the first stop sign and wont crank again. Some times it will crank but not start.

When beginning to drive forward after coming to a stop at an intersection. The vehicle will often stall in the middle of the intersection. Requiring me to switch it transmission into natural and restart it as it’s rolling. I almost gotten rear ended many times I always get honked at. It just a matter of time before it causes an accident. It sometime happens after turning as well. I looked at forums on this gmc Yukon hybrid. And it looks like many other owners are asking the same question and nobody is coming up with any answers. Other customers say the dealer told them the hesitation is Normal. I took my truck into a local repair shop and he called me after three weeks saying it was done, but it still had the check engine light on and still is stalling out in intersections. Charge me $2000. This has been happening daily since I got the vehicle

THE CAR WILL STOP MOMENTARILY AND THEN IT WILL RUN AGAIN AFTER WE START THE CAR. THE CAR HAS NO POWER AT ALL ONCE IT STOPPED. IT HAPPENS A LOT SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE NOT USING IT DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE. A BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WE USE THIS TO TRAVEL WITH FAMILY. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE MECHANIC BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO FIND WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT THEY DID NOT GET AN ERROR MESSAGE AT ALL. ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT EVEN ON.

I HAVE A 2008 GMC YUKON SLT THAT I BOUGHT IN FEB OF 2015 WITH 94,000 MILES. I HAVE SERVICED IT REGULARLY FROM DAY 1 AND EVEN PAID IT OFF IN 2.5 YEARS. AS SOON AS I PAID IT OFF, THE VERY NEXT MONTH, MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE ONCE IN A WHILE W/ NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO NO ONE COULD TELL WHAT WAS WRONG. AT THAT SAME TIME MY "SERVICE STABILITRAK/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" WOULD DING ABOUT 40 TIMES IN A ROW. I SERVICED THE 2 AND IT DID NOT HELP FOR MORE THAN 2 DAYS AND IT STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CODES WERE FOR NEW PLUGS AND FUEL FILTER. STILL DIDN'T HELP. THEN MY ENGINE BLEW! GOT THAT REPLACED AND IT STILL TO THIS DAY IS DOING SAME THING! SO, LIKE THE 330 OTHERS, WE HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NO ONE CARES TO ADDRESS, AND I'M DONE TRYING! IF THIS MAN ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IT'S A GM ISSUE! I'M COPYING THE NHTSA AND MY ATTY GENERAL FOR HELP. PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK AND READ 330 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT THING AND YOUTUBE HAS PEOPLE ACTUALLY STUCK BC THEIR CAR DIED. MINE DID NOT EVER DIE BUT IT SURE FEELS LIKE IT IS AND . IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE MY YUKON! PLEASE HELP US! I'M ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND CANNOT AFFORD ANYMORE REPAIRS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS MANY THINGS TO BE FIXED AND STILL NOT TOUCH THE PROBLEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE AND THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER (ALLEN GWYNN CHEVROLET, GLENDALE, CA, 844-636-8480) SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED FOR THE APPOINTMENT, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE.

I ALREADY HAVE COMPLAINT NUMBER #11025458. I WANTED TO CONTINUE ADDING. SINCE I FILED THE COMPLAINT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST AND MORE FREQUENT AND DANGEROUS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMES ON THEN WITHIN A DAY OR TWO TURNS OFF. STAYS OFF FOR A FEW DAYS THEN AGAIN ON AND OFF. IT'S NOT THE OIL CHANGE THAT HAS BEEN DONE ALREADY. THAT'S THE ONLY MESSAGE WE GET WHEN WE TAKE IT TO GMC TO HAVE THE LIGHT CHECKED. THE EXCELLARATING STILL CONTINUES WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR HAS TURNED OFF ON ME 2 TIMES NOW WHILE WANTING TO DRIVE (EXCELLARATTING TO DRIVE) THE CAR HAS NOT WANTED TO TURN ON FOR 1HR. IT'S NOT THE BATTERY WE HAD IT CHECKED. MY TIME ON THE TRUCK KEEPS RESETTING. AFTER I SET IT THEN GO BACK IN THE TRUCK TO DRIVE IT'S RESET AGAIN, SO IT'S TURNING OFF THE BATTERY THEN TURNING IT BACK ON. I STILL GET ALOT OF THE HESSITATION TO DRIVE IT MAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKE I'M FORCING IT TO DRIVE. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO SOMEONE HITTING ME DUE TO THE HESSITATION OF IT NOT MOVING EVEN THOUGH I'M PUSHING THE GAS. I HAVE NOT HEARD NOTHING FROM YOU GUYS. THE DEALER CAN'T FIND NOTHING BUT SAID IT MIGHT BE THE BREAK SENSER THAT I PAID $180.00 TO HAVE CHANGED WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS STILL HAPPENING. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER OF A PART FOR MY TRUCK TOOK IT TO GMC THEY SAID I SHOULD BE GETTING ANOTHER LETTER FROM THE SAME COMPANY WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR STILL NOTHING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. DO I NEED A LAWYER? THE PROBLEMS ACCURE WEATHER IT'S IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, ON THE CITY ST OR HIGHWAY TURNING OR NOT IT DOES NOT MATTER IT HAPPENS WITH EVERYTHING. THANK YOU

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 YRS AGO I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DODGE AND GMC ABOUT THE ISSUES INVOLVING THE CAR. IT HAS HESSITATED WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS AFTER BEING IN A STOP. IT HAS ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN ON A STOP LIGHT GONE ALL THE WAY TO 4. I HAD TO PUT IT ON PARK FOR IT TO STOP.THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON ME SEVERAL TIMES THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND THEN AFTER 2-3 DAYS TURNS OFF ALONG WITH THE ROAD HAZZARD LIGHT. WHEN I TAKE IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED THEY FIND NOTHING. I FINALLY GOT TIRED OF IT TOOK IT TO DODGE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSE PAID $150.1. THEY DID NOT OFFER A LOANER CAR 2. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR ALMOST 2 DAYS JUST FOR A DIAGNOSSIC TEST 3. THEY DID NOT HAVE A HYBRID SPECIALIST THERE NOR DID THEY SENT IT TO ONE. THEY DIDNT FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT JUST SUGGESTED TO DO TRANSMISSION CHANGE, CHANGE THE WIRES TO THE SPARK PLUGS AND CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS AFTER DOING ALL THAT. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I THEN TOOK IT TO GMC PAID ANOTHER $150 FOR THEM TO DO A DIAGNOSIS TEST. THEY ALSO DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT SEEN THAT IT HAD A EXTENDED WARRANTY OF THE THROTTLES AND SAID THAT COULD BE IT. AFTER CHANGING THAT THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. THE ONLY THING THAT THE GUY TOLD ME FROM ME EXPLAINING THE PROBLEMS IS IT COULD BE THE BRAKE SENSER. PAID &170.00. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED NOTHING HAS CHANGED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, THE CAR TURNING COMPLETELY OFF ON ME HESSITATING TO DRIVE AND ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN WHEN ON PARK IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE DONE MORE THAN MY PARK IN TAKING THE CAR TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT YET NO ONE CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT THE MACHINE SAYS NOTHING WHEN I WANT THE PROBLEM TO ACURE TO SHOW THEM WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IT DOES NOT DO IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. I PAID ALOT WITH NO RESULTS TO SHOW FOR IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND HAVE IT CHECKED.

JUST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THE RECALL ON THE GMC SILVERADOS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ON MY YUKON DENALI. I PURCHASED A CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2016. AND I'VE HAD AT LEAST EIGHT OR MORE INCIDENTS. OF THE CAR EITHER NOT STARTING OR SHUTTING OFF FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS AT ABOUT A 15 MILE AN HOUR TURN. I FEEL AS THOUGH MY VEHICLE COULD BE AFFECTED THE SAME WAY AS THESE ARE. I WOULD LIKE A REMEDY TO WHY MY CAR SHUTS OFF DURING A LOW-RPM TURN. WHEN THE CAR COMES BACK ON ALL GAUGE LIGHTS COME ON FOR A BRIEF SECOND. AND THE THERMOSTAT GOES UP A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THE FAN HAD SHUT OFF FOR A MINOR SECOND.

I BOUGHT THIS SUV FROM LEGENDS AUTO SALE. AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I NOTICE THE ENGINE BAY WAS REAL RUSTY LIKE ITS BEEN IN WATER OR DRIVEN OVER LOTS OF WATER. I DIDNT GET A CAR FAX AT TIME OF PURCHASES BUT DID CAR FAX MYSELF , AND IT APPEARED THAT VEHICLE IS FROM NEW ORLEANS. WITH ALL THE DIRT AND GRIM COMING OUT OF VEHICLE ITS DIFFENTLY FROM NEW ORLEANS. SO FAR I REPLACED NEW PADS AND ROTORS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE SWITCH, NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. THE PROBLEM OCCURRING NOW IS THAT MY TRAC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER HALF HOUR OF DRIVING AND CAR SEIZES UP AND I'M UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT OFF ENGINE AND LET REST FOR HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR BEFORE LIGHTS GOES AWAY AND I'M ABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE BUT IT MIGHT BE DUE TO IT BEING IN THE FLOOD THUS CAUSING CORROSION AND RUSTING IN ALL PARTS OF VEHICLE. I DON'T HAVE DOCUMENTS ON ME AT THIS TIME AS I MISPLACED IT BUT CAN GET IT AGAIN AND UPLOAD IMAGE.

SOMETIMES WHEN I COME TO A STOP MY VEHICLE GOES INTO THE AUTOSTOP MODE, BUT WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE IT JUST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH THE GAS ENGINE NOT ENGAGING AND THE ELECTRIC MODE NOT MOVING THE VEHICLE THEN IT JERKS REALLY HARD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR ABOUT A DAY AND THEN GOES OFF ON IT'S OWN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MULITPLE GMC DEALERSHIPS NUMEROUS TIMES AND PAIDED OUT FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ANY CODES EVEN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO BEING HIT FROM THE BACK ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE INITIALLY MOVES SLOWLY BEFORE JERKING AND STALLING AND ALMOST BROAD SIDED ON MORE THAN 3 OCCASIONS WHEN PULLING OUT OF A STOP SIGN INTO TRAFFIC. I AM AWARE OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS CAN WE GET HELP BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE DEALERSHIP ISN'T CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI IN JANUARY OF 2008 .THIS CAR HAS 60000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT .I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES ON THE TRUCK DUE TO A CONSTANT LOSE OF AIR IN THE TIRES TO FIND OUT AFTER REPLACING THE TIRES THAT THE LOSE OF AIR IS DUE TO THE AIR LEAKING THRU THE RIMS .I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE BUT IN ALL OF MY 30 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE RIMS GOING BAD ON A CAR. AS I SEE IT THE RIMS ARE LIKE THE FOUNDATION OF A HOUSE AND SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK . YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE SUCH AN ITEM ,ALSO AFTER LOOKING ON LINE AND CONTACTING THE DEALER IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL GM TRUCKS MADE BETWEEN 2006-2010.ALSO AS A RESULT OF THE AIR LEAKING OUT AS THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY WIFE SHE MADE A TURN AND AS SHE WAS TURNING THE TIRE GAVE OUT DUE TO A LOSE IN PRESSURE. *TR

NOVEMBER 13, I WENT OUT TO START MY 2008 YUKON AND THE LIGHTS, DOOR LOCKS, AND CD PLAYER BEGAN TO FLICKER AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE GAUGES ALSO BEGAN TO FLICKER ERRATICALLY, THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START. LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, MY HUSBAND AND I PUSHED THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE AND WHEN THE YUKON WENT OVER THE LIP OF THE GARAGE INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE BUMP CAUSED ALL THE LIGHTS, RADIO, AND BACK DLOOR LATCH TO COME ON OR BEGIN WORKING. THIS OCCURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES OVER SEVERAL WEEKS AND INCLUDED THE REAR DOOR NOT WORKING OR THE POWERLOCKS NOT WORKING WITH THE REMOTE. WE TOOK IT TO DRIVER'S AUTOMOTIVE IN THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS, AND HAD THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE VEHICLE. THE AUTO REPAIRMAN CHECKED THE BATTERY AND CABLES AND SAID NOTHING SHOWS UP IN THE DIAGNOSTIC BUT EVENTUALLY THEY DID REPLACE THE CBM. WE PAID $ 718.00 TO REPLACE THE CBM, TRUSTING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE STARTED UP FINE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THAT BUT SINCE DECEMBER 21, THE YUKON HAS DUPLICATED THE ERRATIC LIGHT FLICKERING, RADIO AND IGNITION NOT WORKING, THE REAR DOOR NOT OPENING (USING THE CAR REMOTE AS WELL AS THE POWER BUTTON ON FRONT CONSOLE INSIDE VEHICLE). IN ADDITION, THE DOORS WON'T LOCK AND THE GAUGES FLICKER UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE VEHICLE WON'T START. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED. A DIAGNOSTIC SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG BUT WITH THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, I AM FEARFUL OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN. *TR

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO GMC BULLETIN #PIP4112J : SAG OR HESITATION ON ACCELERATION (NORMAL OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS) - (JUL 21, 2011). I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE AND TOOK THE SUV TO MANY DEALERS BUT DEALERS COULD NOT VERIFY THE CONCERN UNTIL NOW. THE 2008 GMC YUKON XL DENALI WOULD STOP ACCELERATING FOR 2-3 SECONDS WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS WHEN I AM TRYING TO PASS A LANE, TRYING TO ENTER HIGHWAY, TRYING TO CLIMB A MILD HILL OR TRYING TO AVOID A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. AFTER THE DELAY, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT AND I THINK IT DOWN SHIFTS TO EITHER 1ST OR 2ND GEAR CAUSING THE SUV TO ROAR LIKE CRAZY AND SHOOTS OUT LIKE A CANNON. I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE THE COPS GAVE ME A WARNING WITH THE LIGHTS AND SIREN PROBABLY THINKING THAT I WAS DRIVING RECKLESSLY. THERE WERE ALSO INCIDENTS WHERE I'VE HAD THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED DOWN ABOUT 80%-90% TRYING TO CLIMB A MILD ELEVATION AND EITHER THE ENGINE AND OR TRANSMISSION STARTED TO CHOKE. IT WAS SO BAD THAT THE DENALI ALMOST CAME TO A FULL STOP. YOU REALLY HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ON YOUR OWN TO UNDERSTAND HOW SCARY AND NERVE WRECKING IT IS WHEN YOU HAVE VEHICLES ABOUT TO RAM YOU FROM BEHIND BECAUSE THE SUV SIMPLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. MANY TIMES, I HAD TO SWERVE BACK IN TO ORIGINAL LANE IN FEAR OF CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. BECAUSE OF THIS, I DON'T EVEN LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SERVICE MANAGER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND FOUND BULLETIN #PIP4112J AND HE CAN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING. I'VE BEEN EXPLAINED THAT DUE TO LARGE POWER FROM THE ENGINE, HE HAS SEEN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLES BREAK APART. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE SERVICE MANGER'S POSITION ON THIS BUT I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMEONE CAN SERIOUSLY GET HURT BY THIS. *KB

A FEW MONTHS LATER COMING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE WENT TO ENTER MY VEHICLE AND NO START, WENT UNDER THE HOOD AND MOVED THE BATTERY CABLE AND IT STARTED. LATER THAT NIGHT I TRIED TO TIGHTEN THE BATTERY CABLE, BUT IT WASN'T LOOSE.

GOT TO DESTINATION EXITED VEHICLE AND UPON RETURN VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNTIL I ONCE AGAIN MOVED BATTERY CABLE AROUND. THE LAST INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED ON AUGUST 30, 2010 WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 15 MPH THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, ENGINE JUST CUT OFF. WRESTLED CAR TO SIDE, PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED.

VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM RESPONDS ERRATICALLY ABOUT ONCE EVERY 100 MILES. IT HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BUT I'LL DESCRIBE THE MOST RECENT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR. TRAFFIC WAS BACKING UP AND CAME TO A STOP. I HIT THE BRAKES (NO DANGER/EMERGENCY, JUST A NORMAL STOP). THE VEHICLE SLOWED NORMALLY TO ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR AND THEN THE BRAKES "LET GO" AND THE DECELERATION STOPPED EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAD TO RELEASE THE PEDAL AND SLAM ON THE BRAKES ANEW TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP BEFORE SLAMMING IN TO THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND IT SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SWITCHING FROM HYBRID TO NON-HYBRID MODE AND/OR WHEN THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING IS CYCLING ON OR OFF. MY VEHICLE IS A 2008 GMC YUKON HYBRID IT'S BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED. I CAN'T RECREATED THE PROBLEM ON DEMAND, BUT IT HAPPENS ON AVERAGE ONCE A WEEK AND SCARES ME SO MUCH THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANYMORE.
