SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND WENT TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE BRAKES INITIALLY WORKED BUT AT ABOUT 30 MPH THERE WAS A TOTAL FAILURE AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO STAND ON THE PEDAL, SO TO SPEAK, TO GET THE 2005 YUKON TO STOP BEFORE HITTING THE TRAFFIC STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED HOME AND UPON INSPECTION THE BREAK LINE HAD FAILED RIGHT BELOW THE RADIATOR WHERE IT CONNECTS TO A PLASTIC RETAINER CLIP. I WAS AMAZED AT THE FACT WITH ONLY 118,000 MILES I HAD TOTAL RUST THROUGH ON BRAKE LINES. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS ON A VEHICLE AND WOULD EXPECT THE LINES TO LAST LONGER. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN INDIANA ABOUT 40 MILES FOR CINCINNATI, OH. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!! SINCE I REPAIRED THIS FAILURE, THE TRANS LINE AND ANOTHER BRAKE LINE HAVE FAILED DUE TO RUST.!! I HAVE OWNED GM PRODUCTS MY WHOLE LIFE AND HAD A 1998 YUKON WITH 235,000 MI. ON THE TRUCK AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH RUST THROUGH ON THE LINES. I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING GM WOULD DO TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WORRY EVERY TIME I USE THE TRUCK THAT ANOTHER LINE WOULD BREAK AND CAUSE A MASSIVE ACCIDENT. *TR

AIR BAGS
A 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM HENDRICK DURHAM AUTO MALL IN DURHAM, NC. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT IN GREAT CONDITION AND IS SERVICED REGULARLY. THE DASH HAS A LARGE CRACK AND SPLINTERING ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE MANY OTHER GMC AND CHEVROLET PRODUCTS WITHIN THIS LINE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAD A STICKER COST OVER $60,000 AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND ONLY OFFER A DISCOUNT. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE MANY OF THE DASHES ARE ALSO CRACKING IN THE AREA OF THE AIRBAGS. THIS CAN POSSIBLY CREATE SHRAPNEL UPON DEPLOYMENT CONSIDERING HOW BRITTLE THE DASHES ARE. *TR

MY 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED DIRECTLY OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF TAHOE'S, YUKONS, AND ESCALADE'S ARE HAVING. D ' LITERALLY CRACKED DOWN THE MIDDLE OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BY NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I DID NOT MISS USE NOR BANG THE DASHBOARD IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE. I JUST HAD TO PAY ALMOST $400 TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THIS IS A $60,000 VEHICLE I PURCHASED JUST A FEW SHORT YEARS AGO. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND SHOULD BE A RECALL IF IT'S WIDELY AFFECTED THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS. *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
I NOTICED CRACKS OPENING NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA AND ON THE TOP OF SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER. CONTACTED THE GM AND I WAS TOLD A SERIES OF EXCUSES SUCH AS: "YOUR WARRANTY IS OVER", "YOU BOUGHT THE CAR USED ( I BOUGHT IT FROM A GM DEALER UNDER THE PRE-OWNED WARRANTY)", OR "MAYBE YOU USED PRODUCTS THAT CRACK THE PLASTIC!" AFTER A BRIEF RESEARCH I FOUND OUT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT GM MADE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CRACK OPEN AT THE SAME EXACT SPOTS, DOWN TO THE MILLIMETER, AND IT HAPPEN IN THE BRAND NEW CARS AS WELL AS THE OLDER ONES. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE ITEM, AND RESULT OF A WRONG DESIGN. GM DOES NOT REPLACE THE PART UNLESS WE PAY FOR IT. THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED THAT PARTS COULD FLY INTO THE CABIN AS A RESULT OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENTS AND REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. OUR CARS LOOSE ALSO THEIR VALUE WITH A DEFECTIVE/BROKEN DASH BOARD. THE FUNNIEST EXCUSE BY GM WAS: "OH, THE DASH PARTS ARE MADE IN MEXICO! YOU KNOW HOW THE MEXICANS ARE!" *TR

THE DOOR HANDLES ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE BECOME SO SHARP THAT WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR THEY CUT YOUR FINGER. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD OUR FINGERS CUT FROM SLIGHT TO VERY BLOODY. THIS APPEARS THAT IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT GM REFUSES TO DEAL WITH. *TR

STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
THE PROBLEM ON MY 2009 YUKON, IN LESS THEN 2 WEEKS MY DASHBOARD CRACKED IN 3 PLACES. 2 BY THE AIR BAGS AND 1 BY THE STEERING COLUMN. I'M THINKING THE ONES BY THE AIR BAGS ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM. IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAPPEN TO GO OFF , WITH THE CRACKED DASHBOARD. WILL THE DASH EXPLODE IN TO PIECES, LIKE SHRAPNEL. CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO HUMAN LIFE? THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT STAYS UNDER A BREEZEWAY WHEN NOT IN USE. WE WHERE DRIVING AN HERD A POP IN THE DASH. THEN THE NEXT THING WE KNOW WE HAVE 3 CRACKS. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS IS TWICE THAT I'VE RECEIVED THE P2138 THROTTLE BODY SENSOR CODE, WHICH CAUSES REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND HAS SUBSEQUENT ISSUES AROUND STABILITRACK/AWD. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WE LIMPED OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AT 3 MPH. TODAY, MY WIFE LIMPED HOME FROM THE STORE. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO!! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
VEHICLE POWERS DOWN WITHOUT ANY PATTERN, RHYME OR REASON. IT WILL DO IT AT 5 MPH, AND AT 55 MPH, WHEN DRIVEN A LOT, AND WHEN NOT. REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT TURNS ON, VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWS TO 25 MPH MAX, STEERING BECOMES HARD, BRAKES TOO. THEN WILL TOTALLY SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND WIRING HARNESS TWICE. FUSES, FUEL PUMP AND FILTERS, OIL, AND EVERYTHING ELSE AS RECOMMENDED. IT PUT ME IN THE DITCH. IT STRANDED ME IN THE CENTER OF A FREEWAY IN WINTER. WHEN IT SITS FOR A WHILE, IT RESETS, ONLY TO DO IT AGAIN. T/C LIGHT TURNS ON ALSO. I FOUND OUT THAT I CAN MANUALLY RESET THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER FOR A FEW MOMENTS (TO GET OUT OF THE CENTER OF THE ROAD) BY TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH ON AND OFF VERY FAST. IT IS A EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD! I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT IN MONTHS DUE TO ABSOLUTE FEAR FOR MY LIFE. WHEN ITS IN REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE, I CAN'T GET IT TO GO ABOVE 25, AND GOING UP HILLS CAN'T GO ABOVE 5MPH. IF I AM PULLING A TRAILER, IT STARTS TO GO BACKWARDS. THIS THING IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE! PLEASE HELP *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE REAR DEFROST WIRES KEPT FALLING OFF OF THE WINDOW. I HAD THEM SOLDERED BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I FINALLY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GLASS, BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ENOUGH MATERIAL TO BE ABLE TO RE-SOLDER IT. WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF REPLACING THE GLASS, ONE OF THE WIRES FELL OFF. I HAD IT FIXED. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER THE OTHER ONE FELL OFF. IN TOTAL OVER THE NEXT YEAR I HAD BOTH WIRES RE-SOLDERED AT LEAST TWICE EACH, UNTIL JUST LAST WEEK WHEN I HAD TO REPLACE THE GLASS AGAIN! I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A BAD DESIGN BY GM AND THAT THEY TEND TO FALL OFF BECAUSE THEY GET TOO HOT WHEN IN USE. HOWEVER, THE WIRES EVEN FELL OFF IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER WHEN THE DEFROST WASN'T IN USE. *TR

STEERING, POWER TRAIN
AFTER OWNING THE 2015 YUKON DENALI FOR 6 MONTHS, I HAVE TO SAY THIS VEHICLE HAS ITS FLAWS. THE 4WD SYSTEM IS IN FOR SERVICE ALREADY AFTER 9000 MILES. NOT THE KIND OF QUALITY I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED ON AN $80,000 SUV. AT THE MOMENT, THE VEHICLE IS ONLY A 2 WD SYSTEM AND SEEMS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND TURN. ALSO, THE INTELLILINK SOFTWARE IS VERY "BUGGY" AND NEEDS MANY UPDATES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE ENTIRE TOUCHSCREEN WILL GO BLANK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN AND IS A MAJOR DRIVING DISTRACTION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER SON, OUR GRANDSON, HOME FROM SCHOOL IN MY YUKON. AS SHE WAS LEAVING THE CITY LIMITS JUST STARTING TO GET UP TO LEGAL 55 MPH AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. SHE FORTUNATELY SAW A BODY SHOP AND MANAGED TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE IN THERE AND DOWN SHIFTED TO STOP. SHE WAS FORTUNATE TO FIND THIS LOCATION. AS YOU LEAVE TOWN THERE IS A LARGE HILL WE ARE THANKFUL THE BRAKES DID NOT FAIL AS SHE WAS GOING DOWN IT. I JUST AM UPSET THERE WAS NO WARNING, AND WE FIND OUT THE WHOLE BRAKE LINE FAILED. IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. *TR
