STRUCTURE:BODY
LEFT REAR DOOR HANDLE FAILED. DOOR WAS NOT USABLE FROM OUTSIDE. REPLACED BY GMC DEALER WITH PART # 1 22738725 FOR $67.27. BODY SHOP REPORTED THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE ON THIS MODEL DUE TO DOOR DESIGN USING PLASTIC RATHER THAN MEDAL TO SECURE THE DOOR HANDLE TO THE BODY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, TRAILER HITCHES, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
IN OCTOBER 2013, THE TRAILER HITCH COVER FAILED DUE TO A BROKEN PRONG. BODY SHOP INSTALLED A REPLACEMENT PART; HOWEVER, FROM THE BEGINNING IT DID NOT FIT CORRECTLY. WHEN COMPARED TO OLD COVER, THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN THE PRONG DESIGN. IN JUNE 2014 THE COVER DID NOT BREAK OR COME OFF THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT WAS FLAPPING BELOW THE BUMPER. TOOK VEHICLE INTO SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ANOTHER ISSUE, BUT, ASKED SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE BODY SHOP TO INSURE RIGHT PART INSTALLED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAME BACK AND SAID "DUE TO POOR BUMPER DESIGN, THE ENTIRE BUMPER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO INSURE CORRECT FIT." I DECLINED. BOTH MY POWER MIRRORS WERE THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. SERVICE DEPARTMENT WANTED $1070.00 TO REPLACE BOTH MIRRORS. DECLINED AND USED ANOTHER GMC DEALER WHO REPLACED BOTH FOR $602.69. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN. THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN. IF THERE WAS A ACCIDENT AND YOU NEEDED TO EXIT REAR OF SUV YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT AS THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN DOOR. IT IS ELECTRONIC AND HAS STOPPED WORKING. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN ALL YUKON'S, TAHOE'S AND ESCALADES. THERE IS NOT EVEN A BUTTON FROM THE EXTERIOR THAT YOU CAN PUSH TO OPEN DOOR. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN AND GMC DOES NOT WANT TO FIX UNLESS YOU PAY THE $100.00 TO LOOK AT IT THEN ANOTHER $500.00 TO FIX, I REALLY THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS A BAD DESIGN NOT HAVING ANY MANUAL WAY TO OPEN REAR HATCH ON A SUV. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI REAR TAILGATE / HATCH IS LOCKED AND THE ELECTRONIC LOCK MOTIVATOR WILL NOT OPEN THE REAR TAILGATE / HATCH. THERE IS NO KEY NOR MANUAL WAY TO OPEN REAR TAILGATE / HATCH. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT IT WOULD COST TO FIX ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE NO MORE THAN $450.00. SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS THREE ROWS OF SEATS THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN THIS REAR TAILGATE / HATCH FOR THE PASSENGERS IN THE THIRD ROW OF SEATS TO GET OUT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED AN ALTERNATE WAY TO OPEN THIS HATCH FOR EMERGENCY'S. WHETHER IT WOULD BE A KEY FROM THE OUTSIDE OR A DOOR HANDLE ON THE INSIDE. WE FEEL THAT TYPE OF VEHICLE SHOULD BE REVIEWED AND IT SHOULD INCLUDE VARIOUS YEARS OF THIS GMC VEHICLE, THE CHEVROLET TAHOE, AND THE CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WHICH HAVE THE SAME SETUP FOR THIS SAFETY REASON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND REVIEW OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT BRAKED SUDDENLY. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL QUICKLY AND FIRMLY TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, AND THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY. A HALF MILE OR SO LATER, AT AN INTERSECTION, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES GRADUALLY, THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, ONLY BARELY STOPPING THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT ENTERED THE INTERSECTION. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME (ABOUT A MILE) SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY AND INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID COATING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND WHAT APPEARED TO BE RUST OR CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINES WHERE THEY CROSSED THE FRAME NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL AXLE. *TR

A FEW MOMENTS LATER, MULTIPLE BEEPS OCCURRED WITH MESSAGES APPEARING ON DASH DISPLAY (AFTER THE FAILURE), ABOUT BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDS CHECKED OR SERVICED, AND STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED. TO CATCH THE LEAKING FLUID, I PLACED THE PAN UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT AREA. LINES LOOKED TOTALLY RUSTED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE, PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO FLOOR. BRAKE WARNING ANNUNCIATOR STABILITRAK CAUTION ANNUNCIATOR SERVICE BRAKES SOON MESSAGE ON DIC STABILITRAK FAILURE MESSAGE ON DIC DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, RADIO ON, AIR CONDITIONING ON, DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES A GUY IN FRONT OF ME DOES A QUICK LANE CHANGE AND TURN IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TO STEP ON THE BRAKE HARD BUT NOT SUPER HARD. WHEN I DID THIS THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT FURTHER THAN NORMAL AND ALL OF THE ABOVE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. A). I SLOWLY PULL INTO A PARKING LOT (2-3 MPH) AND THE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. ALMOST CANNOT STOP. B). I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART BUT THE LIGHTS COME ON AS SOON AS I PRESS ON THE BRAKE. I DO THIS SEVERAL MORE TIME, CHECK BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR BUT THE SAME RESULTS. C). AFTER ABOUT THE 6 TIME RESTARTING, I HEAR A SMALL MOTOR RUNNING ( BRAKE ACCUMULATOR / MODULATOR ? ) AND THE PEDAL BEGINS TO GET FIRM AGAIN AND THE WARNING ANNUNCIATORS EXTINGUISHED. D). I CONTINUED DRIVING HOME SLOWLY WITH NO FURTHER FAULTS. DIDN'T THINK OF CHECKING THE VOLTAGE UNTIL EVERYTHING WAS GOOD, AT THAT POINT IT WAS INDICATING 15VDC. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY MANY TIMES SINCE THEN. HAVE TAKEN TO KEEPING ONE FOOT ON EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BUT THIS DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. DEALER ORDERED THE ELECTRIC PUMP (BRAKE MODULATOR) AND TWO WEEKS LATER DEALERSHIP STATES GM CANNOT LOCATE ANY PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. PART REMAINS ON ORDER. VEHICLE NOT OPERABLE WITHOUT BRAKES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
IT APPEARS IN MY INVESTIGATING THIS THROUGH ONLINE SEARCHES AND FORUMS, THERE ARE 1000'S OF GM VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD THEIR SPEEDOMETERS QUIT WORKING AND IS QUITE A MONEY MAKER FOR GM AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS, SINCE THEY 'HAVE' TO DO IT SO IT CAN BE REPROGRAMMED FOR MILEAGE AUTHENTICITY! WITH THESE 1000'S OF GM VEHICLES HAVING FAULTY SPEEDOMETERS, OR OTHER FAULTY GAUGES...MINE IS STUCK ON 120MPH!! DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN U REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING!! I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF, AND NOT BECAUSE OF NORMAL USE AND WEAR!! MY 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI WOULD COST $510 + TAX AND HAVE TO B SENT AWAY TO B REPAIRED.... PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND ADD THIS TO ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS GM IS HAVING AND LET'S NOT PUT IT TO THE CONSUMER LIKE THEY HAVE AND ARE DOING! THANK YOU!! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AS I WAS DRIVING ON 95N OF COLLEGE PARK, MD, MY VEHICLE POWER SEEM TO SHUTDOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE "REDUCE POWER ENGINE" MESSAGE APPEARED IN MY INSTRUMENTATION PANEL. FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSE TO THE EMERGENCY PULL OFF OF THE LEFT LANE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON, AND THE MESSAGE WENT A WAY. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO WITH MY JOURNEY. HOWEVER, JUST RECENTLY, IT HAS DONE IT AGAIN, THIS TIME MY SPEED WAS AROUND 35MPH. ONCE AGAIN, I TURNED IT OFF, THAN ON AND THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY AND I HAD POWER IN MY ACCELERATION AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'M TAKING IT BACK IN TO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. *TR

WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, WAS LOADING THE VEHICLE WITH GROCERIES AND COULD NOT GET THE BACK LEFT DOOR CLOSED, WAS VERY UNSAFE COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT, NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING, VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, WAS TOLD THE RUBBER WAS DEFECTIVE AROUND BOTH DOORS AND THE LATCHES WERE RUSTED WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE DOOR FLEW OFF AND HIT SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY? WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE? I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN ON A SAFETY RECALL, NOW OF COURSE, THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. *TR
