ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE I APPROACHED SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. UPON SLOWING DOWN MY VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES: "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "SERVICE STABILITRACK", "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". 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. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE ON A BUSY STRETCH OF HWY 88 OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO. I HOPE OTHERS DO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED THE SAME WEEK AS MY LAST COMPLAINT. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM LUNCH I SLOWED THE VEHICLE AS I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL, THIS DID NOT REQUIRE ANY USE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPON SLOWING DOWN MY VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES: "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "SERVICE STABILITRACK", "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". 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 UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. ENGINE CODES LEAD TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY POSITION SENSOR WHICH WAS REPLACED AFTER THE INCIDENT ON 7/13. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE GMC DEALER TODAY WHO INFORMED ME OF THE SAME PROBLEM YET AGAIN. THESE ARE EITHER BAD PARTS OR A SOME BIGGER GM ISSUE.

ENGINE
WHEN THE CAR IS AT IDLE IN DRIVE IT BECOMES VERY ROUGH (FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN). THIS HAPPENS ON AND OFF AND I HAVE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. SOMETIMES THE CAR EVEN FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY ADMITTED THEY FEEL IT AS WELL. THEY TRIED ADJUSTING THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND THAT DID NOT DO IT. AFTER HAVING IN THE DEALER FOR SEVERAL DAYS THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THEY WENT INTO ANOTHER 2015 GMC YUKON SLE AND STARTED FEELING THE SAME ISSUE. IT WAS STATED TO ME I MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT FOR MORE COMPLAINTS ON THE VEHICLE TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE ISSUE. IT CONTINUES TO IDLE ROUGHLY AND I WANT TO GET THIS RESOLVED.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY WIFE, WITH THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR, ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX. 35 MPH AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. AFTER GOING THROUGH ONE ADDITIONAL STOP SIGN AND RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, SHE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY BRING THE CAR TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. UPON INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND RUPTURED. WE ARE LUCKY THAT THEY ARE ALIVE. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, AND POTENTIAL SEVERITY OF THIS TYPE OF BRAKE FAILURE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF THESE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE BRAKE LINES.

DURING NORMAL USE ON OPENING THE REAR LIFT DOOR OPEN AND 1/3 OF THE WAY, IT STOPPED AND SLAMMED VERY HARD THAT THE WINDOW ABOVE LATCH RELEASED AND POPPED OPEN. I'VE CHECKED ALL THE SECURITY SETTING BUT TO DATE, THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN PASS 1/3 OF THE WAY. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO FINGERS ANYWHERE AROUND THE DOOR. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF ONE IS NOT EXPECTING THE DOOR WILL SLAM SHUT.

WE PURCHASED A 2010 GMC YUKON AND IT HAS A CRACK IN THE DASH! WE HAD BEEN TOLD BY ALL DEALERS THAT THIS IS COMMON AND WILL BE NOTICED ON ALMOST ANY THAT WE PURCHASE! WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL? ITS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE ON A VERY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. FRUSTRATING TO PAY 28K FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS A MAJOR COSMETIC DECLINE! GMC WILL ONLY REPLACE IF YOU SPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED YOURSELF OUT OF POCKET!

I WENT TO OPEN MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR TO GET INTO MY CAR AND THE DOOR HANDLE JUST RIPPED OFF. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I'M NOT A STRONG WOMAN AND I DID NOTHING DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER DAY. NOW I HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND OPEN MY DOOR TILL I CAN GET IT FIXED. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I HAD MY BACK DOOR HANDLE COME LOOSE. IT DID NOT RIP OFF, BUT IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. I HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. ONE LITTLE THING AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR. MA 10/2 UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

WHEELS
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). ..

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I HAVE A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI IN WHICH THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN APPROXIMATELY 4 PLACES. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I EVER GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY. IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS I THINK THIS DASH BOARD WILL ALSO HURT SOMEONE.
