LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR WE HAVE 3 OF THE 4 DOOR LOCKING ACTUATORS FAIL AND REPLACED ON OUR 2009 GMC YUKON DENALI WITH ONLY 39000 MILES ON IT. WE CONTACTED GM VIA E-MAIL WITH OUR CONCERNS. GM ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE ONLY THING THEY WERE CONCERNED WITH WAS IF IT WAS REPORTED TO A GM DEALER, IF NOT IT WAS NOT A CONCERN OF THEIRS. WE HAD OUR LOCAL MECHANIC FIX THE ISSUE DUE TO THE DISTANCE TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND OUR VEHICLE BEING JUST OUT OF WARRANTY . MY WIFE AND CHILDREN HAVE HAD CRAWL ACROSS THE VEHICLE TO EXIT. MY CONCERNS AFTER LOOKING UP THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, ON THE INTERNET, IS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT GM HAS CLASSIFIED THIS A PROBLEM AS A "NON-SAFETY ISSUE". WHEN MY WIFE AND CHILDREN CAN NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE DOOR THEY ARE SITTING CLOSEST DUE TO A ACCIDENT , FIRE, OR SOME OTHER FORM OF AN EMERGENCY, IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 287 NORTH, IN MORRISTOWN, NJ WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SHORT AND I NEEDED TO APPLY MY BRAKES. WHEN I USED MY BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I COULD NOT STOP. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AND I SWERVED TO AVOID OTHER CARS. I ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE GRASS SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND FOUND A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE CAR. AFTER INSPECTION OF THE BRAKES DONE BY A CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC, HE FOUND THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES IN THE CAR BURST OPEN DUE TO HEAVY CORROSION LEADING TO THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM. HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REPLACE ALL BRAKE LINES IN THE VEHICLE AS NONE OF THEM WERE ABLE TO BE SALVAGED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
DIAGNOSTIC CODE P0121 - THROTTLE BODY IT IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG ALL DENALI OWNERS AND IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. BUT IF THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN BY THE MANUFACTURER THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY (WHICH ARE CURRENTLY ON BACK ORDER) DEALERS WILL CHARGE BETWEEN $95 & $110 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND DETERMINE IF IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. OWNERS SHOULD BE WEARY OF DEALERS TRYING TO CHARGE FOR THIS FIX. ESPECIALLY OF THE DENALI IS UNDER 100K MILES. *TR

THE VEHICLE DISPLAY INDICATES "SERVICE STABILITY" AND THE VEHICLES ABS SYSTEM BEGINS TO GRAB INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE AND LOSE SPEED DRASTICALLY. ONCE PULLED OFF THE ROAD IF THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND ALLOWED TO SIT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTED IT WILL OPERATE PROPERLY AGAIN. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY ONCE IN JUNE, TWICE IN JULY, AND SEVERAL TIMES NOW IN AUGUST. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS FLUKE ISSUE THAT COULD BE EXPLAINED BY WEATHER AS WE HAD EXCEPTIONALLY HOT SUMMER THUS FAR. HOWEVER IT IS TO THE POINT NOW WHERE I HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO A REPAIR SHOP TO AVOID HAVING MY WIFE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
