THE BACK DOOR HANDLES ON OUR 2007 DENALI ARE EXTREMELY LOOSE TO THE POINT THAT THEY ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY FALLEN OFF. THIS AFFECTS OUR DAY TO DAY COMMUTE AND SHOULD BE FIXED, WE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR A LUXURY CAR, THE HANDLES SHOULD NOT BE FALLING OFF. I AM SURPRISED THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE CONTACT ME, THANK YOU. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE SEAT BELTS IN MY 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI KEEP COMING UNBUCKLED. NO MATTER HOW MANY I REPLACE. ALSO I'VE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL COMING ON. IT'S ALMOST CAUSED A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY'VE INFORMED ME THAT THEY'VE COME ACROSS THIS ISSUE A NUMBER OF TIMES AND HAVE NEVER FIXED THE ISSUE AND TO JUST TAP MY GAS PEDAL TWICE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE TRACTION CONTROL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LINES FAILED DUE TO RUST WHILE DRIVING ON A BACK ROAD. LUCKY FOR ME I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY YET AND WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. AFTER LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF THE LINES WERE AT THE POINT WHERE THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING AT ROUGHLY 50 MPH. WENT TO PASS CAR ON TWO LANE HIGHWAY. ACCELERATOR STUCK TO FLOOR (NOT STUCK ON FLOOR MAT OR OTHER OBJECT). VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 95 MPH, SLOWED TO 70 WITH BRAKE DEPRESSED FULLY. SLOWED TO 50 WITH BRAKE AND EMERGENCY BRAKE DEPRESSED. ACCELERATED WHEN DOWNSHIFTED INTO MANUAL. FINALLY PUT IN NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. HAD COMPLAINED OF ROUGH IDLE, STALLING AND REDUCED POWER FOR 3 YEARS (SINCE WE HAD CAR FOR ONLY A FEW MONTHS). SEE SOME DISCUSSION THAT A DIRTY THROTTLE BODY COULD LEAD TO ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. 3 YEARS WITH 3 DIFFERENT GM SERVICE SHOPS AND NO SOLUTION. FORTUNATELY THE ROAD WAS NOT CROWDED AND WAS STRAIGHT. OBVIOUSLY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL PROBLEM FOR US. IT WAS MY WIFE, MYSELF, AND OUR THREE CHILDREN UNDER 4 YEARS OF AGE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
HAVE A 2003 YUKON DENALI AND WHEN IT HIT THE 131000 MILES MARK THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING LEAVING ME TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS I HAD LEFT USING THE AUTOMATIC COMPUTER TELLING YOU HOW MANY MILES TO EMPTY. NEXT THE OIL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. MY SPEEDOMETER QUITE WORKING LEAVING ME TO NOT KNOWING THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING THIS QUITE WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE MY RPMS ARE STARTING TO GO GOOFY WHICH MEANS THAT TO IS GOING TO STOP WORKING AS WELL. I WAS TOLD THAT HAVING MY DASH TAKEN OFF AND FIXED COULD RUN ANYWHERE BETWEEN 700$ NOT INCLUDING LABOR FEES. WHICH IS CRAZY THAT GMC DOESN'T STAND BEHIND ITS WORK. PEOPLE CANT AFFORD TO BE PAYING FOR THIS TO GET FIXED LET ALONE SPEEDING TICKETS. I BELIEVE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ALL HAVING THE SAME YEAR YUKON DENALI.. YOU PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS!!! *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRACTION ACTIVATION ENGAGES FOR NO REASON USUALLY WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND VEHICLE REACHES APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THE GAS PEDAL LOCKS UP BRIEFLY AND ENGINE APPEARS TO WANT TO DIE, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS THE ACTIVATION LIGHT GOES BACK OUT AND TRUCK IF FINE. IF I DRIVE AN HOUR THIS PROBLEM OCCURS 3 TIMES. MY MECHANIC ADVISED NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM FROM GMC. THE CAR WAS CHECKED TWICE WITHIN A WEEK AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, BUT WHEN TESTED WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING EQUIPMENT I WAS ADVISED IT'S A CENSOR PROBLEM, BUT THE DENALI HAS 4 CENSORS AND THE TESTS CAN'T DETECT WHICH CENSOR IS BAD UNTIL IT GOES OUT COMPLETELY. I WILL CONTACT MY LOCAL GMC DEALER BUT, FROM CHECKING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM PERSONS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BEING TAKEN FOR A RIDE. NOW I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE I'M WAITING FOR THIS CENSOR TO TOTALLY GO OUT. GMC KNOWS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH TRACTION CENSORS AND SHOULD DO THE HONORABLE THING BY RECALLING THESE VEHICLES BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. THE AVERAGE CITIZEN WHO PURCHASES A VEHICLE IN GOOD FAITH SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS AND OR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHILE MECHANICS KEEP CHARGING YOU FOR TESTS THAT AREN'T SOLVING THE PROBLEM. GMC SHOULD REPLACE ALL THE CENSORS SINCE THEIR TESTS CAN'T DETECT WHICH ONE IS BAD. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STRUCTURE:BODY
DRIVING VEHICLE AT APPROX 45MPH, CAME TO STOP AT RED LIGHT AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN AND NOTHING. DOWN SHIFTED TRANSMISSION TO SLOW DOWN AND PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, LIFTED THE HOOD NO BRAKE FLUID IN REAR SECTION OF MASTER CYLINDER. NOTICED BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING UNDER THE FRONT OF THE DRIVERS DOOR ON THE GROUND. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE LINE WAS DRIPPING FLUID. THE BRAKE LINES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND THE FRAME IS REALLY RUSTED. JUST GOT THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE GMC SHOP FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. CAN'T FIGURE WHY THEY DIDN'T NOTICE OR AT LEAST TELL ME THAT I MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM.I CALLED THEM AND ADVISE WHAT ISSUE I WAS HAVING. THEY ADVISED THAT GM WOULD NOT COVE THE ISSUE AND 1300.00 WOULD MAYBE COVER THE LINE REPLACEMENT PLUS. I AM NOT HAPPY. WORKED HARD TO BUY THIS VEHICLE AND NOW THAT I AM RETIRED FROM THE MILITARY I REALLY DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE THE LINES AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE RUSTY FRAME. *TR

AS THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING OFF A PARKING LOT THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER DRIVING HOME USING THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP, I PULLED THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL OFF AND AFTER ADDING MORE BRAKE FLUID SAW THE LEAK AT THE FUEL TANK AREA WILE MY WIFE PUSHED THE PEDAL. ALL THE BRAKE LINES LOOK CORRODED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
STABILITRACK LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR GOES TO IDLE AND HAS NO POWER TO ACCELERATE, ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. ONCE PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, SHUT ENGINE DOWN AND WAITED 15 MINS TO RESTART. STABILITY TRACK LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND CAR ACCELERATES NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS AN EXTREME HAZARD! I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND DEALER HAS NO RESOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY JUST CHARGE CONSUMERS FOR PARTS THAT ARE NOT REALLY RESOLVING THE ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ALL DRIVERS AND WILL CAUSE A FATALITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!! *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
TODAY WHEN STARTING MY 2004 YUKON, THE INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED THE MESSAGES: "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND BARELY 3 MPH UP A MODERATELY STEEP HILL. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON ROUTE 80, DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER AND THANKFULLY MADE IT TO A DEALER. I'VE HEARD OF SO MANY GMC VEHICLES HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. WE NEED A SOLUTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR

BRAKES WERE REDUCED TO ABOUT 10% OF NORMAL AND THE 'SERVICE BRAKES' LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. THE MECHANIC SAID ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES MUST BE REPLACED AS THEY ARE RUSTED, AND THAT THIS IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH GMC TRUCKS OF THIS TYPE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD RESULTS IN CRAKING: THE DRIVER-SIDE CRACKS OCCUR TO THE LEFT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHILE THOSE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TAKE PLACE IN THE AREA SURROUNDING THE AIRBAG, CLOSER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. I CONCERN THAT A CRACKED DASH AT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT POINT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED" SENSOR COMES ON FOLLOWED BY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND MY VEHICLE WON'T GO FASTER THAN 5MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS ONLY UPON START UP OF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES, IF I WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTART MY CAR, IT'LL START JUST FINE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I FIRST BROUGHT IT INTO HENDRICK CHEVROLET ON 10/15/12. THEY CHARGED ME ALMOST $700 TO REPLACE "APP SENSOR ASSEMBLY". THEN I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN ON 11/6/12 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE "CONNECTOR AT THE THROTTLE BODY" AND CHARGED ME $223.09. THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. I THEN BROUGHT IT BACK ON 12/20/12 WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE WON'T TURN OFF AS A RESULT OF THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER-STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED WARNING. THEY SIMPLY RESET THE WARNING AND THAT WAS IT. TIL THIS DAY, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER/STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED. THIS HAS BECOME A CONSTANT ISSUE AND THORN ON MY SIDE AND EACH TIME I BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE, THEY ALWAYS TELL ME IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. I HAVE READ MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD. WHY HAVEN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS??? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITY TRAK WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING MESSAGE WAS ALSO DISPLAYED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE THROTTLE SENSOR WAS REPLACED BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER THEN REPLACED THE BRAKE LAMP, BUT THAT ALSO DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THAT ALSO DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 128,000. UPDATED 04/02/13*LJ
