Transmission seized up

The heated seats in my 2007 GMC Yukon Denali caught fire to my car .The fur department came and the fire marshal came out and wrote a report stating it was from the heated seats what caused the fire when I need to I will abtain the report for the fire marshal I'm so glad my son and I were not in the car

I was driving a dirt road in snow went to make a right turn onto road at a downhill angle and the airbags deployed on the side curtains all the way from front to rear

Dash cluster lights that show how many miles are on the vehicle and PRND do not light up.

See attached document for complaint

My dashboard is cracked severely, which can ultimately make my airbag release at any time. It shakes while driving pretty bad

The contact owned a 2007 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that after his son parked the vehicle outside near the sidewalk, and turning the off the vehicle, the contact's son exited the vehicle. Approximately 5-10 minutes later, his son’s mother informed him that there was smoke coming from the front of the vehicle. The contact’s son was then informed by his mother that the vehicle was on fire. The vehicle then became engulfed in flames. The Fire Department was called to the scene and extinguished the fire. During the fire, the vehicle was destroyed and later towed away from the scene. A Fire report was filed, and the contact was informed that the fire was probably an electrical fire. The contact stated that the fire had started on the driver’s side front of the vehicle however, the cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.

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

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 contact owns a 2007 GMC Yukon. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact pulled over, restarted the vehicle, and continued driving to her destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

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.

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.
