LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE HAD REPEATED FAILURES OF ALL THE DOOR LOCKS IN MY YUKON. THEY WILL ONLY WORK MANUALLY NOT WITH THE AUTO LOCK FEATURE. SAFETY IS A CONCERN AS YOU NEED TO REMEMBER TO LOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY AND THEN UNLOCK IT MANUALLY TO GET IN THE CAR. THE AUTO DOOR LOCK FEATURE (LOCKING AT 5 MPH OR ABOVE) ALSO DOES NOT WORK INVITING A CAR JACKING INCIDENT. I HAVE HAD 3 REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW A 4TH DOOR IS AFFECTED. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES
PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT,AND DROVE DOWN A STREET. AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR,AND I WENT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AVOIDING CARS AND THEN SLAMMING INTO A CURB TO TRY TO STOP THIS BIG SUV WITH NO BRAKE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST REPAIR SHOP ,AND THEN I WAS INFORMED THAT NOT JUST THE ONE BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT,BUT ALL WERE RUSTING OUT AND COULD BREAK ANY DAY NOW. SINCE DAY ONE THIS SUV WAS SERVICED AT A GMC DEALER,AND NOT EVEN 7 DAYS JUST WENT BY IT WAS AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND NOT ONCE DID ANYONE MENTION THE RUSTED BRAKE LINES. THIS SUV WAS AT THE DEALER AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES A YEAR AND THEY NEVER MENTION THE PROBLEMS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HEARD A SLIGHT GRINDING NOISE, THAT SOUNDED LIKE A BRAKE DRAGGING. I REPLACED BRAKES ALL THE WAY AROUND, AND THAT DIDN'T STOP THE NOISE. I THEN REPLACED ALL THE WHEEL BEARINGS, THIS DID NOT HELP EITHER. I TRIED THE U-JOINTS WITH NO LUCK. I WAS TALKING TO THE PERSON THAT I GOT THE VEHICLE FROM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR END HAD BEEN REBUILT TWICE! THIS WAS BEFORE I GOT THE VEHICLE, AND IT ONLY HAD 67000 ON IT WHEN I GOT IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE TALKED TO MANY YUKON OWNERS, AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

INVESTIGATION WAS SUPPOSEDLY STARTED BUT CANNOT FIND RESULTS OF THIS. SPOKE TO MY GMC DEALER AND THEY HAD NO ADVISOR'S TO RECTIFY AND WOULD DO SO AT COST. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION STOP LIGHT, AT THE SPEED OF UNDER 10 MPH, THE ABS BRAKES SUDDENLY KICKED IN AND PULSATED, NOT ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO STOP. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION WITH A STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, CAUSING ME TO PANIC AND STUMP ON THE BRAKES HARD BEFORE RUNNING INTO THE PARKING BLOCKS IN FRONT OF A BUSINESS. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANICS THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO ABS WARNING LIGHT OR ERROR CODE, WE ELECTED TO REPLACE BOTH ABS SPEED SENSORS AS A PRECAUTION. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. I DECIDED TO HAVE BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES INCLUDING ROTORS REPLACED AS A PRECAUTION. THE PROBLEM STILL ACCURES WITH EVERY SLOWER SPEED ATTEMP TO STOP. I AM VERY RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I DUE, I HAVE TO BEGIN MY BRAKING WELL IN ADVANCE AND AT A INCREASED DISTANCE FROM WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO STOP. *TT
