POWER TRAIN
ABOUT 500 MILES PAST THE ORIGINAL POWERTRAIN WARRANTY OF 60,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILED. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DISPLAYING P0700 AND P0711 AND THE GAUGE ON THE DASH IS ERRATIC. I DID RESEARCH, AND THE TRANSMISSION FOR THESE VEHICLES MODEL GEAR 2015 AND 2016 HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES INCLUDING THIS ONE AS OUTLINED IN SPECIAL COVERAGE N192291660 WHICH EXTENDS THE COVERAGE FOR THIS ISSUE TO 120,000 MILES. IF GMC HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE PREVIOUS YEAR TRANSMISSIONS AND KNOWS ABOUT IT ENOUGH TO ISSUE A SPECIAL COVERAGE, THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR THE 2017 MODELS.

MY STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGES IN DRY WEATHER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ADDITIONALLY, THE SYSTEM ENGAGES AT MODERATE SPEEDS WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SLOW SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC. ALSO, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE IN DRY WEATHER AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN BRAKING. THESE SITUATIONS HAVE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS

AIR BAGS
WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE SAYING THE PROPELLANT IN THIS INFLATOR MAY DEGRADE AFTER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CYCLING, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO EXPLODE DURING A DEPLOYMENT. AN INFLATOR RUPTURE MAY CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG AND INTO THE VEHICLE INTERIOR AT HIGH SPEED, WHCIH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS. WHEN WE CALLED THE GMC DEALER TO GET THIS FIXED, THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE FOR MY HUSBAND, MYSELF AND OUR 6 CHILDREN THAT WE RIDE IN TOGETHER EACH DAY. I'M ALSO PREGNANT AND EXPECTING A BABY IN AUGUST - WE SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, GMC SHOULD BE OFFERING AN ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE FOR USE UNTIL THEY HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE OR SOME OPTION TO KEEP OUR FAMILY SAFE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED IN TWO LOCATIONS AFTER SITTING IN OUR GARAGE. A 6" CRACK HAS NO FORMED OVER THE CURVED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY ON DRIVER SIDE AND A 1" CRACK HAS OCCURRED NEAR THE AIR BAG COVER CORNER ON PASSENGER SIDE. THESE CRACKS ARE SIMILAR IN LOCATION AND SIZE TO OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON GMC YUKONS. STARTED NOTICING THE CRACK IN AUGUST OF 2020. I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

SUSPENSION
VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER WITH GM INVOLVEMENT STARTING JANUARY 6TH AND IT HAS BEEN OUT OF THE REPAIR FACILITY FOR LESS THAN 2 WEEKS UP TO TODAY, 4/1/2021. THE VEHICLE HAS AN ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM THAT HAS NOT ONLY FAILED, BUT HAS CONTINUED TO FAIL AFTER MULTIPLE REPAIR ATTEMPTS. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS NEW ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION, SPECIFICALLY WHEN THE 'VEHICLE ACCESS' OPTION IS TOGGLED IN THE SETTINGS. THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE SAFETY WARNINGS; 'VEHICLE TOO HIGH, DRIVE SLOWLY VEHICLE UNSAFE' AND 'VEHICLE TOO LOW, DRIVE SLOWLY, VEHICLE UNSAFE'. DEALER AND GM HAVE REPLACES MILLIE PARTS, SOFTWARE AND SENSORS, TO NO AVAIL. THE MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT MOST OWNERS DON'T REALIZE THE RISK AND THIS IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN WHICH COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED IN AT THE LAST RESURGENCE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT IN AS STATE TO BE DRIVEN. THE SUSPENSION COLLAPSED AFTER HAVING 35 DAYS IN THE SHOP. IT SEEMS THAT THE SOFTWARE AND THE SYSTEM AREN'T PROPERLY FUNCTIONING/DESIGNED. THIS COULD BE ENDEMIC IN EVERY DENALI, OR OTHER GM VEHICLE WITH THIS SYSTEM, THAT ENABLES THE AUTOMOTIVE ACCESS (VEHICLE LOWERS WHEN IN PARK). THIS ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING, BOTH LOCALLY AND HIGHWAY. THE SCARIEST WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALER AND THE SUSPENSION STARTED BOUNCING CAUSING ME TO GO NO MORE THAN 40MPH ON THE INTERSTATE TO THE DEALER.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE SITTING AT A STOP ON A 9DEGREE INCLINE BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE I STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE UP TO THE STOP SIGN. AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE RPM'S INCREASED BUT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T MOVE AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGING, THEN WITHOUT WARNING IT JERKED FORWARD. I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SUCH AS TRANSMISSION FLUTTER, HARSH SHIFTS IN LOWER GEARS, ETC ETC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON, "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". IT PUTS ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION SOMETIMES BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY GO INTO THIS "LIMP MODE" I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND FIXES BY QUALIFIED MECHANICS AND YET THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT GO AWAY. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I FIND THAT I AMONG MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES YESTERDAY!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF ONE BRAKE LIGHT WHILE MOVING. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 38000 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT (JUDGING BY CAR FORUMS). I UNDERSTAND GMC MAKES AN IMPROVED VERSION OF THIS ASSEMBLY. GIVEN THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
WHEN I LET GO OF THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. IT'S A SCARY FEELING, I FEEL LIKE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT I HAVE IS THAT I CAN NOT PUT MY VEHICLE IN GEAR RIGHT AWAY WHEN I TURN ON THE ENGINE. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT I HAVE IS RATTLING SOUND AND VIBRATION ON THE GAS PEDAL WHEN I ACCELERATE.
