ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2011 GMC YUKON. CONSUMER HAS ATTEMPTED TO GET VEHICLE FIXED. *TA THE CONSUMER STATED THE SAFETY ISSUE IS CREATED WHEN AN UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE VEHICLE RESULTS IN THE ANTI-THEFT FUSE BLOWING THUS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS, THE POWER STEERING IS ALSO DISABLED MAKING THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THE DEALER INDICATED THE CAUSE WAS LIKELY DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT BUT COULDN'T FIND THE EXACT CAUSE. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE BATTERY AND IGNITION SWITCH AND ADDING SOME TEMPORARY BYPASS CIRCUITS. *JB

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH, THE SUV CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY A TRACTION CONTROL WARNING ON THE DISPLAY, THEN THE VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE", REDUCING POWER AND SPEED TO APPROX 20 MPH. SHE TURNED ON THE HAZARDS, AND MOVED INTO THE RIGHT LANE AS OTHER VEHICLES WENT AROUND HER AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT AS THE ENGINE WAS BUCKING AND MISSING. SHE EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND LIMPED THE TRUCK, BARELY GETTING UP TO 20 MPH TO A SERVICE SHOP. THEY SCANNED THE CODES, THE ONLY ONE THERE DIRECTED THEM TO CHANGE THE THROTTLE BODY, ($580). THE VEHICLE RAN GOOD FOR 3 DAYS, THEN ALL THE SAME BELLS AND WHISTLES CAME BACK. GMC SERVICE SAID THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF A PROBLEM. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND IT'S FAR FROM UNCOMMON. IF THIS HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
AFTER TAKING A ONLINE SAFETY COARSE I WAS INSTRUCTED ON ADJUSTING MY OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS FOR BETTER VIEWING OF BLACK VIEWS FROM MY INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR.. AFTER DOING SO,BEING THE ONLY DRIVER, THE MIRRORS STAYED THE SAME...AFTER SOME TIME I READ IN MY MANUAL THAT I COULD FOLD MY SIDE MIRRORS IN AND SO I TRIED TO DO SO . MY DRIVER OUTSIDE MIRROR WOULD NOT FOLD. IT ONLY MADE A CLICKING SOUND..I THEN TRIED MY RIGHT SIDE MIRROR AND IT WORKED BUT AS I TRIED TO ADJUST MY RIGHT SIDE MIRROR IT STOPPED ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE MIRROR VIEW. I HAVE ADJUSTED THE VIEW ANGLE JUST A FEW TIMES AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE TRIED TO FOLD THE MIRRORS IN. I'M TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PLASTIC HARDWARE ON SUCH A NICE VEHICLE.. *TR

SUSPENSION, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HAS A TERRIBLE VIBRATION. HAS BEEN TO DEALER 7 TIMES, FOR A TOTAL OF 4 WEEKS. A GM ENGINEER HAS LOOKED AT IT TWICE. THEY HAVE REPLACED RING/PINION, DRIVESHAFT, AXLE .. TRIED IT WITH 4 SETS OF TIRES/WHEELS. LAST IDEA WAS TO REPLACE SHOCKS, STRUTS, SWAY BARS WITH HAND BUILT PARTS, CUT BRACKETS OFF CAR AND WELD NEW BRACKETS ON. WHEN LIABILITY WAS BROUGHT UP, THEY CHANGED THEIR STORY. THERE IS A LARGER ISSUE AS WAS RELAYED BY ENGINEER TO SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALERSHIP. ISSUE IS WITH ALL 2015 TAHOE, YUKON, ESCALADES. IN AN EFFORT TO PREVENT ROLL OVERS, THEY DESIGNED THE FRAME AND BODY MOUNTS TOO STIFF. THERE ARE 40 ENGINEERS WORKING ON ISSUES, THEY HAVE NO SOLUTIONS THAT WORK ACROSS THE BOARD. ACCORDING TO ENGINEER, GM IS KEEPING AN EYE ON HOW MANY UNITS THEY HAVE TO BUY BACK, OR TRADE FOR ... IF NUMBER IS LOW ENOUGH, THEY WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO DESIGN. I WOULD LIKE TO SCHEDULE A MEETING NEXT WEEK TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE AND THE LARGER ISSUE IN PERSON. SINCE THEY ARE REFUSING TO BUY BACK MY VEHICLE, I AM TURNING MATTER OVER TO ATTORNEY. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY
ALL DOORS ON THE VEHICLE LOCK WHEN TRANSMISSION IS PUT INTO GEAR AND ALL DOORS LOCK SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER DOOR IS SHUT WITH ENGINE OFF. THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS CAN NOT BE DEACTIVATED BY MYSELF OR BY THE DEALER. I FIND THIS BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE AND A INCONVENIENCE. AS A COMMERCIAL TRUCK DRIVER DRIVEN MILLIONS OF MILES I HAVE BOTH WITNESSED AND HAVE DIRECTLY BEEN INVOLVED WITH TRYING TO GET PEOPLE EXTRACTED FROM WRECKS. DUE TO LOCKED DOORS IN SEVERAL CASES THIS HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT BREAKING A SIDE GLASS AND PHYSICALLY UNLOCKING THE DOOR FROM INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IN ONE ACCIDENT TWO PEOPLE WERE UNCONSCIOUS AFTER A CRASH WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD, THE DOORS WERE LOCKED. IN ANOTHER, A PERSON WAS HAVING AN EPILEPTIC SEIZURE AFTER A CRASH AND AGAIN DOORS WERE LOCKS. IN THE LAST EXAMPLE A MAN DIED AFTER DRIVING INTO A CANAL, RESCUERS WERE UNABLE TO BREAK THE GLASS IN TIME TO SAVE THE DRIVER. I SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO DECIDE WHETHER TO HAVE THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK; NOT THE MANUFACTURER. THE 2013 AND OLDER GMC TRUCKS THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS CAN BE DEACTIVATED BUT 2014 AND NEWER GM REFUSED TO RELEASE THE PROGRAM TO THE DEALERS OR PUBLIC SO I HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO DRIVE WITH LOCKED DOORS. I AM ASKING TO HAVE GM RELEASE THE PROGRAM TO ACHIEVE DISABLING THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY DRIVER'S SIDE ELECTRIC CONTROL PANEL STOPPED WORKING ABRUPTLY. ONE MORNING, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND TRIED TO OPEN THE WINDOW. I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN EITHER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW OR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW. ADDITIONALLY, I WAS UNABLE TO LOWER THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW AND THE POWER DOOR OPENER WAS NOT WORKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I CALLED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY EXAMINED THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT WATER GOT INTO THE CASING IN THE ELECTRICAL SWITCH CONTROL PANEL CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN SUVS AND ISUZU SUVS AND WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RE-CALL. HOWEVER, SINCE MY SUV IS A YUKON DENALI, IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE FIXED UNDER THE RE-CALL. THEY TOOK THE CONTROL PANEL APART AND SHOWED ME A SMALL WHITE PLUG INSIDE THE CONTROL PANEL THAT WAS BURNED, BROWN AND MELTED ON THE END. THEY DISCONNECTED THIS PLUG AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THE CAR WITH IT PLUGGED IN. I TOLD THEM THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD SIMPLY BECAUSE IT DID NOT OCCUR ON AN ISUZU OR A NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME THAT, IN FACT, THE YUKON DENALI IS SIMILAR TO THE RECALLED NISSAN MODELS BUT THEY CANNOT FIX THE ELECTRICAL SHORT UNLESS IT IS A SPECIFIC SUBJECT OF A RE-CALL. *TR
