STEERING
CAR WAS PARKED IN AN OPEN PARKING LOT FOR MORE THAN 7 HOURS IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER (LESS THAN 20 F) WEATHER WITH HIGH WIND. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED IN THE EVENING, THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED "SERVICE STEERING; SERVICE BATTERY". WHEN SHIFTED IN REVERSE THE STEERING WOULD NOT RESPOND AND BEHAVED LIKE IT WAS LOCKED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES (3 TO 5 MINUTES), THE VEHICLE WAS BACK TO NORMAL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE
I NOTICED AN APPROXIMATE 4'' CRACK ON MY DASH BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND STEERING WHEEL HUMP. I THEN NOTICED A SIMILAR CRACK EMERGING NEAR THE TOP LEFT PORTION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE EMPLOYEES WHERE I GET MY CAR WASH WERE APPLYING TOO MUCH PRESSURE. HOWEVER, AFTER LOOKING ONLINE TO BUY A NEW DASH, I FOUND THAT I WAS AMONG MANY GMC OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I DONT THINK IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT WE ALL HAVE THE SAME CRACKS, IN THE SAME LOCATION ON THE DASH. ALSO, THE CHROME PLATING ON BOTH MY DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER INNER DOOR HANDLES IS PEELING OFF. I HEARD THAT EXPOSURE TO THE SUN MAY BE A CAUSE, HOWEVER, MY TWO FRONT WINDOWS HAVE HAD 5% TINT ON THEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT. ALSO, I JUST GOT MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUES. THE PROBLEM IS FIXED FOR NOW, HOWEVER, AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF GMC YUKON OWNERS EXPERIENCE VERY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLE'S ENGINE. I KEEP READING ABOUT THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WARNINGS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WE WERE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND LOST POWER WITH NO WARNING. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AVOIDING ONE COLLISION. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO HOME. THE DEALER HAD TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY. I CONTACTED GM AND ASKED WHERE WAS THIS CLEANING FOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. THEY COULD NOT ANSWER. I AM FEARFUL FOR OTHERS WHO HAVE THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. WITHOUT CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY OTHERS WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM TOO. I WENT TO SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS AND MANY OTHERS HAVE STATED THIS PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS
ON 01/03/2012 I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL DRIVERS SIDE COLLISION,WHICH INVOLVED MY SUV AND ANOTHER CAR TRAVELING AROUND 45-50 MPH. THE IMPACT SMASHED IN THE DRIVER DOOR AND HOOD ALONG WITH OTHER DAMAGES. NEITHER FRONT AIR BAGS DELAYED WHICH RESULTED IN ME HITTING MY FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAVING EXTENSIVE DENTAL DAMAGE. I AM NOT SURE WHAT CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NEEDED TO DEPLOY AIRBAGS BUT I DO BELIEVE MINE SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AS A WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION I APPLIED MY BRAKES ONLY TO FEEL THEM DROP TO THE FLOOR. AFTER PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INSPECTING MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT I FOUND THAT THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER. I MANAGED TO LIMP THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR FACILITY WHICH NOTIFIED ME THAT MY BRAKE LINES ALL WERE RUST AND BADLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY STATED THAT A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE IT IS NOT COMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR WHEN ENGAGED. THERE WERE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS AT BRAKING, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. IN ORDER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION. THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE SERVICE WARRANTY MILEAGE AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT SOME POINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INOPERABLE AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW FAST OR SLOW SHE WAS TRAVELING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD ACCRUED MORE THAN 85,000 MILES. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED WHAT THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,700 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BLOWER MOTOR FAILED. THE BLOWER MOTOR CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD NOT TO BE ABLE TO DEFROST AND THE HEATHER TO FAIL. IN ADDITION, THE REAR DOOR LOCK FAILED AND COULD NOT BE OPENED OR LOCKED/UNLOCKED MANUALLY OR WHEN USING THE ELECTRONIC KEY REMOTE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

AIR BAGS
SRS: SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON; SRS SCANNER GAVE CODES B0026; B0043; B0044; B0084; B0100; AND B0104. FOUND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS POSSIBLY RELATED TO MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE (TSB#050941001; NHTSA#10013456) AND (TSB#PIT-4662; NHTSA#10026744). CALLED GMC SERVICE CENTER; THEY CLAIMED UNABLE TO ASSIST. SUGGESTED TAKING IT TO LOCAL GMC DEALER TO RUN CODES AT MY EXPENSE. AND THEN, POSSIBLY, DEPENDING ON RESULTS/DIAGNOSIS, GMC "MAY" BE ABLE TO OFFER MONETARY ASSISTANCE FOR REPAIRS. SO, FIRST HAVE TO FIND THE TIME AND THE MONEY TO TAKE IT IN. MEANWHILE, TOLD REP I WOULD PROBABLY JUST DISABLE THE SRS. THE LIGHT IS ANNOYING AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DISABLED ANYWAY WHILE THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. REP SEEMED AMUSED AND SAID THAT HER HANDS ARE TIED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE 2008 GMC YUKON AND 2008 GM SUBURBANS HAVE A WIDESPREAD WELL-DOCUMENTED, REPEATED FAILURE OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS AS A RESULT OF A DEFECT WHICH GM WILL NOT ADDRESS VIA RECALL. I HAVE HAD TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS OF FAILED DOOR LOCKS IN MY 2008 GMC YUKON. WHEN THE ACTUATOR FAILS, MY CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS EVEN AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRES SINCE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES ARE WIDESPREAD, COMMON (EVEN OCCURRING REPEATEDLY IN THE SAME CAR) AND CREATE A DANGER OF CHILDREN POTENTIALLY FALLING FROM THE CAR WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK COMPLETELY ON MY 2006 YUKON, THE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN MY GAS TANK GETS BELOW A HALF TANK. THIS IS AN ERRATIC PROBLEM CAUSING CONCERN OVER THE CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL IN MY VEHICLE. MY PARENTS 2008 TRAILBLAZER ALSO HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR) OR STARTING FROM A STOP, THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS APPLIED. WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES, A TOTAL LOSS OF INPUT TO THE ENGINE RESULTS AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE (IT ESSENTIALLY STALLS). I WAS ALMOST STRUCK IN AN INTERSECTION WHILE WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON A GREEN LIGHT IN EARLY DECEMBER OF 2011. I WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN LEFT. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN LEFT, I GAVE THE GAS PEDAL SOME INPUT, THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED, AND MY VEHICLE STOPPED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ENGINE INPUT AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ON-COMING CAR. LUCKILY, THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE AND I KNEW TO EITHER FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL OR TO LET OFF THE GAS ENTIRELY AND THEN FLOOR IT AGAIN TO GET THE TRACTION CONTROL TO DISENGAGE AND GET POWER TO THE ENGINE. ANOTHER RELATED ISSUE IS THE ABS ENGAGING FOR NO REASON. THIS ALSO HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 10 MPH). WHEN THE ABS ENGAGES, THE VEHICLE WILL TRAVEL ANOTHER TWO TO THREE FEET PRIOR TO STOPPING. THE ABS ISSUE RESULTED IN MY HITTING A POLE IN A PARKING LOT. IT TOOK SEVERAL YEARS TO FINALLY DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IT TURNS OUT IT WAS A RESULT OF FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CORROSION AND AN INCREASED AIR GAP BETWEEN THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND THE RELUCTOR RING DUE TO RUST AND DEBRIS BUILT UP ON THE SENSOR MOUNTING SURFACE. GM ACKNOWLEDGED THIS WITH A SAFETY RECALL (#05068C: PRODUCT SAFETY) FOR SOME VEHICLE MODEL YEARS 1999-2002. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND GM FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THAT VEHICLES LIKE MINE (A 2003) AND EVEN LATER MODELS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT IS EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT "REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ." I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE NHSTA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. *KB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DRIVERS DOOR LOCK FAILURE. ACCORDING TO THE AUTO FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD FAILURE, FOR ALL DOORS, NOT JUST THE DRIVERS. ITS AN ELECTRICAL WIRING PROBLEM WITH THE LOCK ACTUATOR. GM REFUSES TO FIX THEM OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAS ISSUED NO RECALL. I READ A WOMAN'S POST WHERE HER TODDLER CHILD ALMOST FELL OUT OF THE BACK SEAT WHILE MOVING BECAUSE THE DOOR FAILED TO LOCK, SEAT BELT WAS THE ONLY REASON CHILD SURVIVED. GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR NOT RECALLING THIS HAZARD. *KB

POWER TRAIN, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
VEHICLE GETS EXTREMELY LOW GAS, 13 MPG ON AVERAGE. BURNS OIL . NEED TO ADD 2-3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. ENGINE COOLING FAN STAYS ON FOR EXTENDED PERIODS WHILE DRIVING. ALL OF WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IS NORMAL FOR THE TRUCK. THEY REMOVED THE DRIVESHAFT BECAUSE OF CLUNKING AT 25K MI. REACTION CARRIER REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION RECONDITIONED AT 36,663 MI AFTER CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED IN. AT 62K MILES ENGINE LIGHT ON AND IDLES ROUGH. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY. AT 67K WON'T ENGAGE IN REVERSE AND MAKES CLUNKING SOUND FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. REPLACED REVERSE HOUSING, REACTION SHELL, ETC. AT 75K HAD A REACTION CARRIER FAILURE, LOST POWER BRAKES AND LOST POWER TO THE CAR. ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED. HAD TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF PARKING LOT DURING CHRISTMAS RUSH. WAITED 5 MIN AND RESTARTED. ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE CLEANED EVERY 15K MILES UNDER SERVICE MAINTENANCE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS! NOT REALLY SURE WHY IT HAD TO BE CLEANED, THOUGH, JUST HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED 13K MILES AGO. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MAJOR FLAWS IN THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE. OBVIOUSLY, THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN PUTTING BAND AIDS ON MY PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX. I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY THAT MY FAMILY AND CHILDREN HAVE NOT BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE MAJOR FLAWS IN THE ENGINE DESIGNS. EVERY TIME I GET MY CAR FIXED, THE TECH ASSURES ME THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH SO MANY CLOSE CALLS. THE CAR IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE! *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED ON 3 OUT OF 4 OF THE DOORS. SOMETIMES IN THE LOCKED POSITION, SOMETIMES IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION. SOME POSTINGS ON THIS TOPIC ARE REFERENCING ISSUES WITH WIRING HARNESS. IF THE LOCKS WERE TO NOT UNLOCK IN AN CAR ACCIDENT, OR GOD FORBID ROLLING OVER DOWN A HILL THAT THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF LIFE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ON THE INTERNET. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THESE FAILURES. I REALLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD FALL INTO THE RECALL CATAGORY OF VEHICLES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. STARTING IN 2005, THE EXTERIOR ELECTRONICS (I.E. SIGNAL LIGHTS, STOP LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS, ETC) BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. FOR EXAMPLE, I WOULD TRIGGER THE SIGNAL FOR ONE DIRECTION AND ALL OF THE SIGNALS FOR ALL DIRECTIONS WOULD TRIGGER... EVEN PRESSING THE BRAKES TRIGGERED ALL OF THE EXTERIOR SIGNALS. THE DEALER HAD A HARD TIME ISOLATING MY PROBLEM, BUT AFTER SEVERAL VISITS, THE DEALER WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND RECTIFY IT... THEY ISOLATED IT TO A JUNCTION BOX WHERE ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS TERMINATE. HOWEVER, BY THIS TIME, MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I HAD TO COVER THE COSTS FOR REPAIRING THE PROBLEM MYSELF. MY MOST RECENT ISSUES, WHICH, BY THE WAY, SEEM TO BE COMMON ISSUES, ARE TRIGGERED BY A MESSAGE STATING, "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE DOES NOT ALWAYS RENDER THE SAME RESULTS... SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE'S SPEED WILL SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE TO NEARLY A HALT, BUT OTHER TIMES I MAY JUST EXPERIENCE INCREASED IDLING OF THE ENGINE, EVEN IF I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP. MY UNDERSTANDING, ACCORDING TO HUNDREDS OF REPORTS THAT I HAVE READ ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS, IS THAT THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED BY EITHER A WIRING HARNESS THAT LEADS FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE THROTTLE BODY OR IT'S A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY ALTOGETHER. I HAVE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDOWS AS WELL, BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE A MINOR ISSUE WHEN COMPARED TO THE OTHER TWO THAT I ADDRESSED ABOVE. I WILL FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH GMC CORPORATE OFFICE TODAY AND SEE WHERE THAT GOES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 100 MILES, STOPPED FOR LUNCH. AFTER STOPPING FOR LUNCH, DROVE 2003 GMC YUKON WITH ONLY 54,000 MILES ON IT FOR ANOTHER 20 MILES ON COUNTRY HIGHWAY AT 55MPH. STEPPED ON BRAKES TO SLOW-DOWN FOR SLOWER TRAFFIC, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. THE YUKON WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE HITTING THE SLOWER TRAFFIC. DROVE ABOUT ANOTHER 50 MILES TO NEAREST CHEVROLET/GMC DEALER, NEEDING TO USE FULL BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL TO SLOW-DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON EVERYTIME THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED THE FAILURE. THE REAR BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND BURST. THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE REAR BRAKE LINES ON THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAD TO BE LEFT OVERNIGHT AT A DEALERSHIP 100 MILES FROM FINAL DESTINATION TO HAVE THE LINES REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY HELPFUL IN COMPLETING THE REPAIRS. ESTIMATED COST FROM THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIRS WAS $400 - $800. THE BRAKE LINE FAILED WITH NO WARNING. *TR
