STRUCTURE:BODY, AIR BAGS
I FIRST NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASH UP BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AREA. NOW IT HAS CRACKED ALL ON TOP WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS AND TEMPERATURE PANEL IS. I'M A PERSON THAT TAKES GREAT CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND AM WORRIED THAT THIS CAN CREATE A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM LIKE FAILURE IN THE READINGS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OR EVEN IN AN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THAT IF I HAVE A PASSENGER THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. I HOPE THAT I MAY GET SOME HELP WITH THIS. I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ,THESE THINGS HAPPEN. BUT THANK GOD I HAVE NOT AND SO THIS IS OF SOME CONCERN. *TR

VISIBILITY
WHEN THE TOP RIGHT HINGE BROKE AWAY FROM THE GLASS ON THE REAR DOOR OF MY 2003 YUKON DENALI (~50,000 MI.), AND AFTER DISCUSSING IT WITH MY DEALER, I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISOLATED CASE. THE RESULTING TWISTING OF THE MISALIGNED WINDOW HAS CAUSED THE LEFT HINGE BOND TO PARTIALLY CRACK AND SEPARATE AS WELL. MY VEHICLE IS GARAGED 90+% OF THE TIME AND I SELDOM USED THE REAR WINDOW. CURRENTLY, THE ONLY THING HOLDING THIS WINDOW TO THE VEHICLE IS THE DOOR LOCK AND ONE PARTIAL (LEFT) HINGE. IT IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. MY DEALER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING, OTHER THAN REPLACE THE ENTIRE BACK DOOR AT $1,000. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULDN'T EITHER SAYING THERE WAS NO BROKEN GLASS. I FEEL THE ABOVE DEFECT, ALONG WITH OVER 100 FORUM EXACT SAME DESCRIPTIONS ARE JUST A SMALL PORTION OF THIS TOTAL PROBLEM WITH BOTH THE CHEVY AND GMC VEHICLES OF THIS ERA. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I AM ONE OF THE MANY REPORTING BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ON MY TRUCK. I HAD 3 STUDS RATTLE OUT, 2 BREAK OFF INSIDE HEAD GASKET AND ONLY 1 REMAIN IN TACT. TRUCK IS IN GREAT CONDITION OTHERWISE AND HAS HAD EXCELLENT SERVICE RECORD. ONLY PROBLEM NOW IT IS COSTING ME $2500 TO PULL ENGINE AND SEND IT TO A MACHINE SHOP TO HAVE THE FINAL STUD REMOVED FROM HEAD WITH ONLY 170000 KM'S ON IT THIS IS LUDICROUS. I AM A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL AS IT HAPPENS TO ALMOST ALL OF THESE TRUCKS BETWEEN 09 AND 2007. AND IT IS A FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS BAD FOR EMISSIONS HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0YG6WLBNZGI&FEATURE=EMAIL&EMAIL=COMMENT_REPLY_RECEIVED

[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON. SINCE WE'VE HAD IT, REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAS BECOME A CONSTANT AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MOST RECENTLY, YESTERDAY, MY HUSBAND WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE WITH HUGE TIRES ON THE BACK ONLY TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND US, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT, SERIOUSLY INJURED, MAYBE EVEN DEAD WITH SOME OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WE HAVE HAD ON THE INTERSTATE. TODAY IS AUGUST 23, 2011. WE HAD THIS VEHICLE FIXED ON JULY 28, 2011, PAYING ALMOST $600 FOR IT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. IT SAYS ON THE TICKET THAT WE TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY, WHICH I BELIEVE INCLUDED THE APP SENSOR, AND CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY OF EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP. AFTER SPENDING $500-600, I WANT TO KNOW WHY WE ARE STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH SO MANY OTHERS I HAVE SEEN COMPLAIN ABOUT IT ONLINE? GMC HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE CAME HOME FROM VACATION TO FIND OUR 2003 YUKON'S BATTERY DEAD. MY HUSBAND JUMPED IT AND TOOK IT FOR A RIDE. IT WOULDN'T RUN OVER 20 MPH. THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT IS ON. HE SHUT IT OFF AND IT'S RUNNING OK RIGHT NOW. I CHECK OUT A COUPLE OF FORUMS ON THIS PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE ENDLESS NUMBERS OF CONSUMERS REPORT THE SAME PROBLEM COMING BACK EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE HAD IT SERVICED BY THE DEALER. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO COME WITHOUT ANY NOTICE TO THE DRIVER AND HAS ALMOST CAUSE ACCIDENTS. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE CLAIM TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THEIR CAR SUDDENLY DROPS TO 20-30 MPH. GMC DOES NOT SEEM TO BE OVERLY CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NO RECALLS ON IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
2007 YUKON GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER ON A REGULAR BASIS. AS A RESULT, THERE WAS A CRASH ON ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT. ON A DAILY BASIS, IT CONTINUES TO AND THE ENGINE CUTS OUT AS A RESULT AS WELL, NO RHYME OR REASON. ON THE INTERSTATE, GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR THE VEHICLE CUT OFF, WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND MYSELF AND MY FAMILY WERE JUST SECONDS SHORT FROM LOSING OUR LIVES. THIS HAS ALL BEEN REPORTED TO GM AND WE'VE GOTTEN NO RESOLUTION. MOTHERBOARDS, GAS PEDALS, GAS CAPS, WIRES, EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF HAS BEEN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE AND IT STILL GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER PUTTING MY FAMILIES LIVES AT RISK. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *KB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2008 GMC YUKON XL DENALI. DRIVER DOOR AND DRIVER SIDE REAR LOCKS FAILED. WITH AUTO LOCKS, THE LOCKS ON ALL DOORS ENGAGE WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR. GRANDDAUGHTER SITTING IN REAR SEAT IN BOOSTER WITH SEAT BELT. DRIVING VEHICLE, SHE PULLED ON DOOR HANDLE AND THE DOOR OPENED. STOPPED VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO LOCK DOORS WITH BOTH KEY FOB AND INTERIOR SWITCH, NEITHER DOOR WOULD LOCK. ABLE TO LOCK DOORS MANUALLY. UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL INCIDENT. SHE COULD HAVE FALLEN OUT OF VEHICLE IF NOT FOR BOOSTER AND SEAT BELT. NO WARNING NOTED OR POSTED ON DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. INCIDENTALLY, WHEN KEY FOB LOCK IS ACTIVATED, CAR ALARM IS ACTIVATED, HOWEVER DRIVER DOOR AND REAR DOOR ARE NOT LOCKED. VEHICLE DOES NOT REALIZE THIS AND REMOTE START FUNCTION STILL OPERATES. NOW CAR CAN BE STARTED, BUT ANYONE CAN JUST WALK UP AND DRIVE OFF IN THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE THE DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. MOST CONCERN IS FOR SAFETY OF PASSENGERS, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. THE AUTOLOCK DOORS WITH GEARS ENGAGED IS AN ADVERTISED SAFETY FEATURE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS SYSTEM FAILS...ESPECIALLY WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE FAILURE. WOULD APPRECIATE A RECALL, OR AT THE VERY LEAST A WARNING TO OWNERS THAT THIS COULD OCCUR AND CREATE A HAZARD. *TT
