SERVICE BRAKES
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO STOP THE YUKON IT FAILS TO STOP AND THEN ABS KICKS IN CAUSING BRAKE PEDAL TO VIBRATE AND LOSS OF PRESSURE IN BRAKE PEDAL THEN TRUCK DOES NOT STOP IT SLIDES. I HAVE REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER DID NOT HELP, TRUCK NEEDS ALL NEW BRAKE LINES DUE TO RUST. I HAVE QUICKLY MOVE AROUND CARS TO PREVENT A ACCIDENT, DUE TO THIS BRAKE FAILURE. SINCE I AM IN SOUTH FLORIDA GM WON'T FIX THIS KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT BECAUSE SF IS NOT A "SALT BELT" STATE, BUT I LIVE ON THE BEACH AND THE SALT WATER HAS STARTED TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT JUST LIKE THE NORTHERN STATES ON THESE FAULTY BRAKE LINES. THE BREAK LINES ARE COVERED IN RUST AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND GM SHOULD FIX ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS KNOWN DEFECT NOT JUST SOME. THIS 2002 YUKON IS SLE WITH A 5.3L VIN Z. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, SEATS
I HAVE A 2015 YUKON DENALI AND I WAS DRIVING 65 ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. A WARNING MESSAGE SAID ENGINE POWER FAILURE. I HAD 4 CARS AND AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME AT THE TIME. I MANAGED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ONTO A MEDIAN. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY STARTED TRYING SAY IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BAD GAS. THEN I WAS TOLD I CRACKED VALVE AND THEY ALREADY HAD ONE OTHER JUST LIKE THIS, THEN 1 DAY LATER AFTER A TECH LEVEL 2 AND A SHOP FORUM LOOKED AT IT, AND A CONVERSATION WITH A GM PAC REP, GM APPROVED A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT! I WAS SHOCKED. I'VE HAD THE SAME 4-WHEEL DRIVE ISSUES EVERYONE ELSE HAS. I'VE ALSO HAD A/C PROBLEMS, STEER WHEEL POPPING NOISES, SUNROOF LOUD WIND NOISES. MY SEAT SHIFTS WHEN I DRIVE IT. THE A/C SEATS DON'T COOL PROPERLY, WHICH I FOUND OUT WHEN THEY PUT ME IN A LOANER YUKON THAT WORKED FINE. THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE ALSO DIDN'T WORK FOR 2 DAYS, WHICH I HAVE A PICTURE OF AND RECEIVED A WARNING TICKET FOR WHEN I WAS PULLED OVER BY AN OFFICER NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED I WAS GOING. I PASSENGER STEP GUARD DOESN'T ALWAYS RETRACT PROPERLY. MY UNIT WAS PURCHASE MAY 2014 AND WAS ONE OF THE FIRST 4 X 4 UNITS THAT WAS PRODUCED AND HAS HAD CONSTANT PROBLEMS. GM KEEPS DENYING A BUYBACK, THEN NO TRADE ASSISTANCE, THEN NOW HAS OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE I HAVE IS NOT SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO BE RIDING IN. I CAN'T TRADE IT IN OR SELL IT TO ANYONE ELSE KNOWING THE PROBLEMS IT HAS. THE DEALER WON'T EVEN TAKE IT BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY ENGINE SPEED REDUCED ABRUPTLY WHILE TRAVELING SPEED OF 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. A REDUCED ENGINE SPEED, SERVICE STABILIZATION TRACK AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SIGNS COME ON. IF I PULL OVER AND WAIT 1 MINUTE IT STARTS AND DOESN'T DO AGAIN FOR 15 MINUTES. SOMETIMES THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR A WEEK. I READ FORUMS AND IT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY, AND ONLY WITH GM VEHICLES, BUT GM FAILS TO REQUEST A RECALL. SOME HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE, AND IT STILL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEED (70) THE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE RPM'S WENT OVER 4K, THEN THE YUKON SLOWED IN TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE BEFORE BEING RUN OVER. THE ACCELERATOR WAS UNRESPONSIVE AT THAT TIME. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN RESUMED DRIVING USING '3' TO ENGAGE TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF 'D' THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, BUT I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION 2 HOURS AWAY. *TR

STRUCTURE
I BOUGHT A 2010 YUKON DENALI AND THE DASH STARTED CRACKING ALL THE WAY TO THE AIRBAG. IT STARTED AS ONE SMALL CRACK AND IS NOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE DASH AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. UPON INVESTIGATING IT I FOUND THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND OTHERS ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME DANGEROUS DEFECT IN YUKON AND TAHOE VEHICLES DATED 2007-2014 MODELS. GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS OR RECALL THIS. THIS COULD BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED AND THE DASH COMES OFF IN SEVERAL SHARP PIECES. ALSO, MY DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL COMING OFF AND THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES CHROME IS PEELING OFF AND CUTTING MY HAND. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BUT GM WILL NOT HELP ALL OF US WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE. A LAWYER IS WORKING TO MAKE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM BUT MOST ARE AFRAID THAT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN GOING UP AGAINST GM WHO HAS THE TIME AND MONEY TO JUST IGNORE THIS UNTIL SOMEONE IS SEVERELY HURT. A NEWLY DESIGNED DASH NEEDS TO BE MADE. OTHERS WHO HAVE GOT NEW DASHES HAVE HAD THEIR NEW DASHES CRACK AS WELL BECAUSE THE SAME DEFECTIVE DASH AS THE FIRST WAS RE-INSTALLED AND HAD THE SAME OUTCOME AS THE FIRST. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I HAVE A 2007 YUKON THAT CONTINUALLY HAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND ERROR SAYING SERVICE STABILITRAK - SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. SOMETIMES IT WILL CLUNK (WHEN SHIFTING AND THIS HAPPENS). I HAD THE THROTTLE SENSOR REPLACED AND ALL 8 SPARK PLUGS IN 2013 AND SAME ERROR IS NOW BACK. THEY ARE SAYING I HAVE MULTIPLE MISFIRES NOW AND I NEED TO REPLACE ALL MY SPARK PLUGS AGAIN (FOR ANOTHER $500) BUT THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX IT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM - ALL OVER THE WEB - AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE GMC HAS TAKEN ANY ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT A VERY REPUTABLE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE. I AM SERIOUSLY AT A LOSS FOR WORDS AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS NOT OPERATING. 2 OF OUR DOORS FAIL TO LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE POWER DOOR LOCK BUTTON OR KEY FOB. WE MUST MANUALLY PUSH OR PULL THE DOOR LOCKS TO GET THEM TO FULLY LOCK OR UNLOCK CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. OUR YOUNG KIDS COULD OPEN THE REAR DOORS AT ANY TIME IF WE DON'T MANUALLY LOCK THEM. ALSO DOORS WILL NOT LOCK LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND THERE'S EVEN A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO REPLACE THEM! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
