SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
WINTER 2014, CONNECTICUT - BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY PEDDLE FELT MUSHY AND GOING DOWN FARTHER THAN NORMAL. DROVE SON TO SCHOOL QUARTER MILE TO SCHOOL AND NOTED THE LACK OF BRAKING ABILITY. LUCKILY ROLLING STOPS AND KEEPING DISTANCE FROM OTHER CARS ALLOWED ME TO GET BACK HOME. LOOKED UNDER CAR, DRIPPING BRAKE FLUID FROM UNDER MIDDLE OF CARD. HAD THE SENSE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER; FOR THE $2400 ESTIMATE, THEY ALSO SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION LINES WERE LEAKING SO ESTIMATE ALSO INCLUDED THE LABOR/PARTS TO REPLACE BOTH SETS OF LINES TO FIX BOTH LINE RELATED ISSUES. I'VE ALSO HAD THE MISS PLEASURE OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ($3500) THIS YEAR AS WELL. SLIPPING AND EVENTUALLY IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SO HAD TO OPEN THE WALLET FOR THAT. ANOTHER ISSUE (ELECTRICAL) - I SHUT THE CAR OFF WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR ON (HEATER IN THE WINTER) AND THE BLOWER MOTOR STAYED ON EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF, NO KEYS. IT CONTINUED TO RUN AND WOULD HAVE DRAINED THE BATTERY HAD I NOT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. PULLING THE FUSE HAD NO EFFECT. ($600) I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE FRONT AIRBAG SENSORS IN THE FRONT BUMPER. ONE WENT AND TWO WEEKS LATER THE OTHER WENT. NO IMPACTS, THEY JUST DIED. ($1200 FOR BOTH). I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR AIR SHOCKS ($2500) I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED (SUPPOSEDLY GM CERTIFIED)) FROM A CHEVY DEALER NOT MORE THAN 3 YEARS AGO WITH 75K MILES. I NOW HAVE 99K MILES. AS I SIT AND TYPE THIS ALL DOWN FOR THIS SUBMISSION, I REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH HAS GONE WRONG WITH THIS CAR & MATCHES UP WITH OTHER OWNER STATEMENTS ON THIS WEBSITE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED ON 2 OF OUR 4 DOORS. GM REFUSES TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY. I'M WAITING FOR OTHERS TO FAIL NOW AS THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH SIMILAR FAILURES FOR THE 2009 MODEL YEAR. DEALER WANTS OVER $350 PER DOOR TO FIX. IT'S SO BAD THERE'S A YOU TUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO FIX IT YOURSELF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

DRIVING ON HWY GOING APRX 65MPH. VEHICLE SAID REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. I MANAGED NOT TO BE REAR ENDED. THIS HAS HAPPENED OFTEN. IT IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. GMC KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO FIND THE PROPER FIX. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE DUE TO THEIR LACK OF ACTION. IT'S NOT SAFE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN OUR YUKON HAS CRACKED JUST IN BACK OF THE AIRBAG. THE CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG EVER HAS TO DEPLOY, THE AIRBAG WILL EITHER TEAR RENDERING THE AIRBAG USELESS, OR THE DASHBOARD WILL SHATTER SENDING PLASTIC PIECES THROUGHOUT THE FRONT AND BACK SEATS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I'VE DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH TO KNOW THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM, YET GM IS ONLY OFFERING TO PAY FOR HALF OF THIS EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT. IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE PARKED THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THIS WITH OUR TWO CHILDREN. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON A PARTLY SUNNY DAY, APPROXIMATELY 27 DEGREES OUTSIDE WITH MY HEATER ON, MY SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WITH A SOUND SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT. AT THAT POINT, THE GLASS DID NOT FALL BUT WAS CRACKED INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES. LATER AS I DROVE THE GLASS BEGAN TO FALL APART. I WAS NOT FOLLOWING ANY VEHICLE AND WAS NOT DRIVING UNDER A BRIDGE OR AROUND ANY TREES SO THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE STRUCK MY SUNROOF. THE ROADWAY WAS SMOOTH AND MY SUNROOF HAS NEVER SUSTAINED ANY DAMAGE IN THE PAST. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH COMING FROM A SUPERVISION TRAINING CLASS ALONG WITH A CO-WORKER AND THE FOLLOWING SENSOR LIGHTS STARTED APPEARING ON MY DASHBOARD: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITRAK OFF. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE GM SERVICE AT LEAST TWICE AND PRIVATE REPAIR FACILITIES NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE SITUATION CONTINUES. IT IS NOW 01-28-2014 AND THE SITUATION CONTINUES AND IS GETTING WORSE. ALONE WITH THE ABOVE ISSUES NOW THE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND NO REPAIR FACILITY, GM OR OTHERWISE, KNOWS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO DRIVE SO THIS VEHICLE IS WHAT I DRIVE BUT, IT IS DANGEROUS AND GM NEEDS TO FIX IT OR RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I NEED ANSWERS QUICKLY I FEAR THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS FOR ALL CONCERNED ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON A FREEWAY!! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
I WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND BRING MY CHILD TO PRESCHOOL WHEN I NOTICED THERE WASN'T POWER WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS. REDUCED ENGINE POWER IS WHAT I READ ON MY DASHBOARD!!!! I RETURNED TO MY GARAGE BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE HIM TO SCHOOL. I AM VERY UPSET!! THIS LOOKS AS IF IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GMC. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT, AND I AM WAITING TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I WILL BE JUST AS UPSET IF THERE IS A LARGE OUT OF POCKET COST. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, I WAS JUST FORTUNATE TO BE HOME. *TR

THE SUV HAS A FEW CRACKS IN THE DASH BOARD NEXT TO THE AIRBAG SECTION AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. MY DAUGHTER SERVERLY CUT HER FINGER ON THE CRACKED DASH BY ACCIDENT. HER FINGER GOT INFECTED AND SHE COULDNT USE HER HAND FOR WEEK. ALSO MY CONCERN IS IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED THIS COULD CAUSE THE PLASTIC PIECES TO CUT THE AIRBAG. THE PIECES OF THE DASH COULD ALSO BREAK OFF AND BECOME AIRBORNE AND INJURE ME OR A PASSENGER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS (THOUSANDS) ABOUT THE SAME THING. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD PUT OUT A WARNING ABOUT THIS AND REPLACE THE DASH OF EVERY VEHICLE AFFECTED. *TR

MY 2007 YUKON DENALI DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT DUE TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER YUKONS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS, BUT THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIR BAGS WERE TO DEPLOY, THERE MIGHT BE SHARP PIECES OF FLYING PLASTIC DEBRIS ORIGINATING FROM THE CRACKED AREAS. YES, THE CRACKS ARE ANNOYING, BUT I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER OR ANY PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE STRUCTURAL INSTABILITY OF THE DASH. *TR

MY DASH HAS CRACKED TWICE ON MY 2007 GMC YUKON. THE FIRST TIME WAS AROUND THE AIR BAG AND THE DEALER REPLACED IT IN 2011. NOW JANUARY 2014, THE DASH IS CRACKED AGAIN AROUND THE AIR BAG. TOOK INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID GMC WILL NOT REPLACE BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS 110,001. HOWEVER THE DEALER OFFERED TO GIVE ME $2,000.00 TOWARD A NEW VEHICLE. REALLY!! IF YOU WERE GOING TO GIVE ME $2,000.00 THEN REPLACE MY DASH! MY CONCERN IS IF THE DASH IS CRACKED WHAT KEEPS THE AIR BAG FROM NOT DEPLOYING AT ANY TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS I SEE IT. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO MAKE THEM REPLACE THE DASH. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I HAD A HARD TIME STOPPING THE BIG SUV AND WOULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER CAR HAD THIS HAPPENED AT A STOP LIGHT OR ANYWHERE WHERE I HAVE TO RELY ON MY BRAKES AS THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS EASILY QUADRUPLED IF NOT MORE. *TR

VEHICLE DOES NOT START BECAUSE OF DEAD BATTERY. VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE DEALER. DEALER STATES BATTERY IS FINE. ON THE SECOND INCIDENT A NEW BATTERY IS PURCHASED. DEALER CONTINUES TO STATE OF NOT SEEING AN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT STARTED ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS. FIVE TIMES TOTAL IN A TWO YEAR PERIOD. THE DEALER DOES NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. TO COPE WITH THE ISSUE WE HAVE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND A BATTERY JUMP STARTER. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS FOR A VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE IS A NORMAL GMC YUKON DENALI. WE HAVE NOT ADDED ANY AFTERMARKET PARTS. WE FEEL THIS SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL IN WHICH THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS ADDRESS AND FIX AT THEIR COST. *TR
