2007 GMC Yukon complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED SIGNIFICANTLY IN TWO LOCATIONS ONE OF WHICH IS BY THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. ALSO, THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE PEELED AND CRACKED. SPECIFICALLY, THE INTERIOR HANDLES HAVE PEELED TO THE POINT OF CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER/PASSENGER HANDS UPON USAGE. *JS

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. I KEEP READING ABOUT THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WARNINGS. *TR

VEHICLE GETS EXTREMELY LOW GAS, 13 MPG ON AVERAGE. BURNS OIL . NEED TO ADD 2-3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. ENGINE COOLING FAN STAYS ON FOR EXTENDED PERIODS WHILE DRIVING. 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 PLACED THE SHIFT IN PARK, STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR (IT WAS DARK ABOUT 10PM) AND WAS IMEDIATELY KNOCKED DOWN. THE CAR BACKED OVER BOTH LEGS AND INTO A DITCH. I HIT MY HEAD AND WAS UNCONCIOUS FOR 15-20 MINUTES. I AM RECOVERING SLOWLY. I AM SURE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK-AT LEAST I THOUGHT I DID. *TR

THERE IS A CRACK IN MY DASH ON THE LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ANOTHER ONE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL HUMP. THESE CRACKS CAUSE THE DASH TO RATTLE AND VIBRATE A LOT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING AND THEY ALSO LEAVE EXPOSED, SHARP EDGES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CRACK COULD COMPROMISE THE AIRBAGS FUNCTIONS. WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 MONTHS. THERE WERE NO CRACKS WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. AFTER WE NOTICED THE CRACKS ON SUNDAY, I STARTED RESEARCHING HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. OUR LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL. I CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE THE DASH. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN THEIR 07 YUKONS AND TAHOES. IT SEEMS TO BE A TREND! I FOUND A SITE WHERE OTHERS HAVE POSTED THEIR PROBLEMS AND THE RESULTS THEY GOT FROM GM. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET THE DASH REPLACED FOR FREE OF CHARGE. I WAS NOT THAT LUCKY. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE A DEFECT THAT SO MANY VEHICLES HAVE. PLEASE HELP ME! THANK YOU! *TR

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT CRACK IN THE DASH CONNECTING THE AIR BAG COMPONENT TO THE BODY. THE FIRST CRACK WAS FOUND BACK IN FEBRUARY AND NOW THERE ARE 2 MORE CRACKS - ONE MORE ON THE AIR BAG CONNECTION AND ONE ABOVE THE CLUSTER DOME. MY FEAR IS THAT IF THE AIRBAG IS TO DEPLOY, THE SHARP EDGES RESULTING FROM THE DEFECTIVE DASH WOULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT INJURY EVEN IF IT IS A MINOR CRASH. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TT

THE INTERIOR, DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE ON MY 2007 GMC YUKON IS DEFECTIVE. THE CHROME LAMINATE THAT COVERS THE PLASTIC HANDLE IS PEELING ON THE TOP SEAM OF THE HANDLE CAUSING SHARP EDGES TO BE EXPOSED TO MY HAND EVERY TIME I OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE "SPECIAL COVERAGE RECALL" IS ONLY GOOD FOR 100,000 MILES. I HAVE 118,000 MILES ON MY YUKON AND THE PROBLEM IS JUST NOW SURFACING. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC DIRECTLY FOR A RESOLUTION, WHICH HAS BEEN ESCALATED TO THE DISTRICT SPECIALIST IN THE AREA. THIS POSES A CONTINUAL HAZARD TO ME, SINCE I HAVE ALREADY CUT MY HAND ONCE FROM THE PROBLEM. THE CUT WAS MINOR, SIMILAR TO A PAPER CUT, BUT A CUT NONETHELESS. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE LIMITED TO VEHICLE OWNERS WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE SHOP. THE MECHANIC STATED THE ELECTROLYSIS INSIDE OF THE WHEEL CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TIRE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE ALSO BLEW OUT AND WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THIS WAS KNOWN PROBLEM BUT DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT HAD THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL RECONDITIONED. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR AGAIN BECAUSE THE WHEEL WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE PLASTIC DASH CAP WHICH COVERS THE ELECTRICAL, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HOLDS THE AIRBAG IS CRACKED. CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE CRACK APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES LONG WHICH IS LOCATED OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HUMP. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE DASH CAP WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE NEW CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AS OTHER YUKON OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE CRACKED BRITTLE DASH PAD COULD SHATTER AND IMPACT AND INJURE SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

LAST FALL, 2010, I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR CHROME DOOR HANDLES WERE CHIPPING. THEY CHIPS WERE VERY SHARP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD EXCEPT REPLACE THEM AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS CUT YESTERDAY, 10/1/2011 ON MY HANDLE. THIS IS THE NHTSA PE09044. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD DOING 65 MPH. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGE APPEARED THAT STATED "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" "SERVICE STABLITRAK" "TRACTION CONTROL OFF". THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO GO OVER 20 MPH THE REST OF MY TRIP HOME. I WENT FROM 65 MPH TO 20 MPH IN SECONDS, ON THE INTERSTATE FULL OF TRAFFIC. WHEN I GOT HOME I THEN NOTICED A "HOT" SMELL. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC. *TR

SHARP CRACKS APPEARING IN DASH NEXT TO PASSENGER AIR BAG AND LEFT REAR TOP OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR

I OWN A 2007 GMC YUKON AND THE DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO SEPARATE PLACES AND NOW FELL IN ON ONE SIDE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WASN'T A RECALL ITEM, HOWEVER WHEN I RESEARCH THIS ON THE INTERNET I FOUND A NUMBER OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2007 YUKON GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER ON A REGULAR BASIS. AS A RESULT, THERE WAS A CRASH ON ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT. ON A DAILY BASIS, IT CONTINUES TO AND THE ENGINE CUTS OUT AS A RESULT AS WELL, NO RHYME OR REASON. ON THE INTERSTATE, GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR THE VEHICLE CUT OFF, WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND MYSELF AND MY FAMILY WERE JUST SECONDS SHORT FROM LOSING OUR LIVES. THIS HAS ALL BEEN REPORTED TO GM AND WE'VE GOTTEN NO RESOLUTION. MOTHERBOARDS, GAS PEDALS, GAS CAPS, WIRES, EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF HAS BEEN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE AND IT STILL GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER PUTTING MY FAMILIES LIVES AT RISK. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *KB

"REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH. MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY DROPPED DOWN TO 35 MPH AND NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK. *TR

THE INTERIOR CHROME HANDLES ARE PEELING, I HAVE CUT MY FINGERS WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE. I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN TO MY YOUNG CHILDREN AND REQUIRE A TRIP TO THE DOCTORS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 YUKON ABOUT A YEAR AGO, IN THAT TIME THE STABILITRAK LIGHT/CHECK ENGINE/TRACTION CONTROL HAS COME ON 2 TIMES NOW. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON IT TELLS ME IT IS TURNING THE STABILITRAK OFF AND BEEPS AT ME. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT IS FINE TO DRIVE TO BRING IT IN LATER AND HE WILL HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. THE LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL I ARRIVE AT MY DESTINATION, I TURN THE CAR OFF LET IT SIT AND COME BACK LATER AND IT IS OFF WHEN I RESTART IT. I HAVE HAD THE MECHANIC HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER TWO TIMES NOW AND NOTHING SHOWS IN THE HISTORY. HE HAS CALLED AROUND TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED BEFORE OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. ONE MONTH LATER WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WITH THE RADIO ACTIVATED, THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING, THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING OFF AND ON. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE LATER STALLED AND WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND THERE WERE NO REPAIRS. SHE HAD NOT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,030.

SUMMARY: 2007 GMC YUKON. INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. CHROME PLATING HAS SEPARATED FROM THE TOP WHERE HANDLE IS GRABBED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL CAP WOULD NOT SEAL PROPERLY, CAUSING THE SERVICE INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER MADE THREE ATTEMPTS TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING FURTHER REPAIRS. THE VIN WAS AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE AND HE WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE HE WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND POSSIBLE REPAIRS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,000.

THE CHROME METAL COVERING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES OF MY YUKON HAS CRACKED AND IS SEPARATING FROM THE HANDLES. THE SHARP CHROME METAL INJURED MY WIFE BY SLICING HER FINGER AS SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE. MY DAUGHTER PREVIOUSLY RAN HER FOOT ON THE BACK SEAT HANDLE AND CUT HER FOOT. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MATERIAL DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

2007 GMC YUKON SLT...STABILITRAK FAILURE. THIS ERROR HAS POPPED UP AS WE ARE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AROUND 7 TIMES. IT SHUTS DOWN AND REDUCES THE POWER TO THE ENGINE SO THAT THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE OUT OF TRAFFIC. IMAGINE DRIVING AT 70MPH AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND YOU HAVE A MASSIVE BIG RIG CLOSING DOWN ON YOUR TAIL WITH NO POWER TO GET OUT IF THE WAY! IMAGINE CLIMBING A HILL WITH THE VEHICLE POWER SUDDENLY REDUCED WITH A BIG RIG TRYING TO CLIMB BEHIND YOU AND YOU HAVE NO WHERE TO TURN OFF FOR SAFETY. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ONLY 127614 HIGHWAY MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM WITH ONLY 65,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

WE GOT OUR BRAKES FIXED AT THE DEALER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO AND WE CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN OF NOISES AND SQUEAKING, BUT THE DEALER SAID IT WAS JUST DUST BECAUSE THEY WERE NEW. AFTER MONTHS OF COMPLAINING, WE BEGIN TO RECEIVE OIL CHANGES FREE OF CHARGE WITH NO EXPLANATIONS. 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 BELIEVE THESE PROBLEMS ARE MANUFACTURER RELATED AND SHOULD DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALER KEPT MY CAR AND STATED IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS NOT OFFERED A LOANER AFTER EXPLAINING THAT I ONLY HAVE ONE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I WAS NOT GIVEN AND ESTIMATED TIME OF WHEN THE CAR WOULD BE COMPLETED FOR REPAIRS. IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THIS CLAIM IS WARRANTED BEFORE I SPEND ANY OUT OF POCKET MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM OR AN ERROR BY ONE OF THE MECHANICS SOONER BEFORE THE PROBLEM ESCALATED INTO FURTHER DAMAGES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 55 MPH WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE REDUCING POWER WARNING MESSAGE ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES IN REGARDS TO THE FAILURE BUT NEVER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE AUTO BODY ASSEMBLY BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,187 AND THE CURRENT 77,600.

I OWN A 2007 GMC YUKON XL AND THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOOR CHROME HANDLE IS PEELING OFF AND I GOT MY FINGER CUT AS I TRIED TO EXIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR A COUPLE OF TIMES . I JUST PUT TAPE AROUND IT BUT I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED IT'S A HAZARD AND DANGER TO HAVE THAT HAPPENED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING NOISE NEAR THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT A BROKEN WHEEL BEARING AND HUB CAP CAUSED THE NOISE. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE WHEEL BEARING AND THE HUB CAP. THE MECHANIC DIDN'T SEE ANY DAMAGE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE WHEEL BEARING TO MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. UPDATED 01/12/11*LJ

2007 GMC YUKON. INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. CHROME PLATING HAS SEPARATED FROM THE TOP WHERE HANDLE IS GRABBED. HANDLES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND CARE IS NEEDED WHEN OPENING DOOR OTHERWISE INJURY CAN AND HAS OCCURRED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS BROKEN AND WHENEVER THE DOOR WAS OPENED THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED CUTS AND BRUISES ALL OVER THEIR HANDS. THE DOOR HANDLE ALSO CUT THE PASSENGERS HAND WHEN THEY ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THEY WOULD REPLACE THE DOOR HANDLE AT HER EXPENSE FOR THE LABOR COST OF $139. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND SHE WAS NOT GETTING A FAVORABLE ANSWER FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT SHE SPOKE WITH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,473.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, HEARD A CLICKING/CRACKING/POPPING NOISE, SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX AREA. AT THE SAME TIME THE WIDOWS, MIRROR, AND ELECTRIC LOCKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT OPERATE. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF. I STARTED LOOKING DOWN UNDER THE GLOVE BOX AREA AND COULD STILL SMELL A VERY STRONG BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THAT AREA. ALSO THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC OBSERVED THE SAME BURNING SMELL CONDITIONS AND REMOVED THE WIRE BOX UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX PASSENGER DOOR AREA. HE OBSERVED THAT ALL THE WIRES WERE BURNT, TO INCLUDE THE METAL PLATE THAT WAS BURNT AND CHARRED FROM AN APPARENT ELECTRICAL FIRE. (PICTURES WERE TAKEN OF THE AREA TO INCLUDE THE BURNT WIRES AND CHARRED METAL) THE MECHANIC STATED THAT WE WERE VERY LUCKY THE WHOLE CAR DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE AND BURN UP. HE SHOWED ME THE DAMAGE AND STATED THAT WHERE THE WIRES RUN THROUGH A SMALL HOLE IN A METAL PLATE APPEARED TO RUB THROUGH THE WIRES CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT AND ACTUALLY BURN THE WIRES AND METAL PLATE. HE FURTHER STATED THAT A RUBBER WASHER OR USING RUBBER INSTEAD OF METAL MIGHT HAVE PREVENTED THE BURNING/FIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. WHILE TRAVELING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A LOUD EXPLOSION FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. HE FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR HAD FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE MIRROR WAS REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN SIX MONTHS WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 5 MPH. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MIRROR A SECOND TIME. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY FOR A SECOND OPINION WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED INTERNALLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

SAME EXACT ISSUE AS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DESCRIBED OCCURS WITH MY 2007 GMC YUKON SLT. RPMS INCREASE AND VEHICLE LUNGES AS I AM PULLING INTO THE GARAGE AND ALSO SLOWING DOWN AT STOP SIGNS GOING NO MORE THAN A FEW MPHS TO TRY TO COME TO A STOP. I NEED TO QUICKLY APPLY THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP/SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2007 GMC YUKON'S CHROME INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE PEELING. A CO-WORKER OF MINE AND GIRLFRIEND WERE CUT BY THE PEELING PLASTIC. BOTH CUTS WERE DEEPER THAN YOUR AVERAGE PAPER CUT AND WAS VERY PAINFUL. THIS WAS ON THE PASSENGER DOOR, THEN I WAS CUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WEEKS LATER. GMC WOULD NOT REPLACE AS MY MILEAGE IS OUT OF WARRANT AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE $340 TO REPLACE!! EXTREMELY COSTLY AND FRUSTRATING FOR A DANGEROUS NON-REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 GMC YUKON AND BOTH INSIDE DOOR HANDLES (FRONT AND PASSENGER) HAVE SPLIT AT THE UPPER SEAM OF HANDLE. THIS CAUSED ME TO CUT MY HAND ON ONE OCCASION DUE TO THE DRIVER SIDE HANDLE. I HAVE SINCE PLACED DUCT TAPE OVER BOTH HANDLES WHERE THE SEAMS HAVE SPLIT, SO THAT NOBODY WILL GET CUT LEAVING THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO A DEALER. *TR

2007 GMC YUKON BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE I.E. AIR TO THE FLOOR ACCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH 09. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR A/C. STARTED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. DRIVER SIDE A/C BLOWS HOT AIR, BUT PASSENGER SIDE AND REAR WORK FINE. HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE BRAKES SLIPPING OFF AND ON. PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE PEDAL WILL DROP DOWN A LITTLE LOWER WHILE PRESSURE BEING APPLIED AND VEHICLE WILL SLIDE TO A HALT. HAPPENED ABOUT 6 TIMES SINCE OWNERSHIP. CHROME PLATING ON INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES IS PEELING, CAUSING CUTS/LACERATIONS TO HANDS. RECENT PROBLEM OF ENGINE RUNNING LOW OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. NOW LOW ABOUT 2 QUARTS. RUNNING OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS NOW. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 GMC YUKON THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP THAT IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. I NOTICED IN OCTOBER OF 2009 THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THE CRACKS GOT WORSE AND NOW ARE IN THREE AREAS. I CONTACTED GMC AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO ACCESS THE DAMAGE. A WEEK AFTER I TOOK IT IN I CONTACTED GMC AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD OFFER ME A 10% DISCOUNT TO HAVE IT FIXED. I TRIED TO SPEAK TO THEIR SUPERVISOR AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AND I GAVE UP. SINCE THEN THE DASHBOARD HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND PIECES OF THE DASH BOARD ARE BREAKING OFF INTO THE DASH. WHEN I PUT MY HAND ON THE DASH IT IS NOT STABLE AS THERE IS A LOT OF MOVEMENT. THE CRACKS ARE ALSO AROUND MY AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN TWO SPOTS. I'M AFRAID TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONING DUE TO A COLLAPSE OF THE DASH. THERE ARE PIECES OF THE DASH THAT ARE ALREADY BREAKING OFF ABOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL. I'M AFAID IF THIS SIDE COLLAPES THAT IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE, ENTRAPMENT, ACCIDENT, INJURY AND OR DEATH. I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND MY CONCERN OF ME AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SUPPLY YOU WITH PICTURES OR BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. GM TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE GUY SAID HE HAD SEEN A FEW LIKE THIS. I HAVE ALSO FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME THIS HAPPEN TO

WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKES JERK OR A SLIPPING MOTION AFTER YOU ARE AT COMPLETE STOP. WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE HAVE JUST LUBED THE PROBLEM, ACCORDING THEIR MEMO THAT IS THE PROCEDURE, INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A ALMOST DAILY BASIS, IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT GMC DOESN'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 YUKON AND SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD THE REAR AXLE BEARING REPLACED 2 TIMES AT 43K MILES AND AGAIN AT 93K DUE TO A HUMMING NOISE EXTREMELY LOUD. AGAIN THE NOISE RECURRED AT 123K MILES I RETURNED TO DEALER THEY REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AT 100K. I MENTIONED THAT THE NOISE RETURNED FOR THE 3RD TIME. II CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY W MY DAUGHTER THE CAR LOCKED ( DIFFERENTIAL). 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. IT HAS BEEN 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH SINCE LAST REPAIRED AND MENTIONED IF NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY CAUSED PROBLEM BY NOW. PLEASE ADVISE IF I HAVE ANY ALTERNATIVE COURSE OF ACTION THE REPAIRS EXCEED 5000.00 DOLLARS N

SILVER COVERING WHERE IT WAS MOLDED IS PEELING AND HAS CUT ME & MY WIFE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO ALL INSIDE DOORS. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE/SERVICE STABILITRAK/ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY YET THE GMC DEALER CANNOT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. POTENTIALLY A CONNECTION TO RECALL OF CARS EQUIPPED WITH HEATED WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID FEATURE. DID DETECT A SLIGHT ODOR SHORTLY AFTER USING THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID AND THE INDICATOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN CONSIDERABLY ON THE HIGHWAY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THUS FAR NOTHING HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM; WE ARE HOPING TO GET THE CAR BACK TO OUR HOME STATE SO THE DEALER CAN WORK ON RESOLVING THIS HAZARD. *TR

THE SILVER COVERING ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES OF MY 2007 YUKON'S HANDLES ARE PEELING AND ARE VERY SHARP AT THE SEAMS. MY ENTIRE FAMILY HAS CUT OURSELVES SEVERAL TIMES SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. *TR

TRAVELING AT NIGHT, AT 65 MILES AN HOUR IN A 2007 YUKON SLE2 4 DR WAGON, I HIT A STEER (APPROXIMATELY 880LBS). UPON IMPACT, THE BOTTOM OF MY POWER DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED FORWARD AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT TILTED FORWARD, CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE DEALER, AND MY INSURANCE AGENT BOTH VERBALLY AND IN WRITING. THE VEHICLE HAD OVER $11,000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE, BUT THE REPAIR CENTER STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY DAMAGE TO THE SEAT. I TRADED THE VEHICLE IN, AS I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT WITH THE SEAT NOT BEING REPLACED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE IS NOW FOR SALE AGAIN, AND I AM FEARFUL THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE IN A WRECK AND THE SEAT WILL MALFUNCTION AGAIN. *TR

MY 2007 GMC YUKON SEATBELTS IN 3RD ROW OF SEATS LOCKS UP WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. IF MY CHILD IS IN THEIR CARSEAT IT LOCKS THEM WHERE THEY CANT MOVE AND BREATH. THEY CRY AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON HIGHWAYS, ETC. TO UNLOCK SEATBELT ALL THE WAY BACK. EVEN UNHOOKING FROM THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. GMC REFERRED ME TO YOU ALL INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. SEEMS TO BE A SEATBELT DEFECT THAT NEEDS A RECALL FOR YUKONS. *TR

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 YUKON SLT, ON A DAILY BASIS MY FAMILY AND I EXPERIENCE SMALL CUTS ON OUR HANDS AND FINGERS, BY OPENING THE INTERIOR CAR DOORS. THE LATCHES BECOME EXTREMELY SHARP AT THE TOP SEEMS. I HAVE HAD TO TEACH MY CHILDREN HOW TO AVOID GETTING CUTS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR FIVE DAYS AND WE HAVE SUSTAINED CUTS FOR FIVE DAYS. HOW LONG SHOULD THIS GO ON?? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2009, THE CHROME PLATED INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BEEN PEELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP IN MARCH OF 2009 AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.
