LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
2007 DENALI WITH 22,000 MILES HAD A LIFTGATE FAILURE. AFTER A $78.00 DIAGNOSIS AT LOCAL DEALER THE REPAIR ESTIMATE WAS $450.00. ACCORDING TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL THE REPAIR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND FURTHER MORE BECAUSE WE PURCHASED IT USED IT WON'T BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE FROM GM EITHER. WHILE EVALUATING PROBLEM I NOTICED THERE IS NO EGRESS POSSIBLE FROM INSIDE WHILE PROBLEM EXISTS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION BECAUSE AN EMERGENCY THAT DISABLES TYPICAL EGRESS THROUGH DOORS WOULD LEAVE THE REAR LIFTGATE AS ONLY CHOICE TO ESCAPE FROM FIRE OR WATER FOR INSTANCE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
FAULTY SPEEDOMETER 2005 GMC YUKON. I RECENTLY SAW A NEWS REPORT ON FAULTY SPEEDOMETERS WITH GM VEHICLES DONE BACK IN 2007 AND I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 GMC YUKON. CURRENTLY MY SPEEDOMETER SITS AT 60 MPH IN PARK AND GETS PINNED AT 120 MPH ON THE ROAD WHEN I'M ONLY MOVING AROUND 40 MPH. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY ON THIS PROBLEM IS 5 YRS OR 70,000 MILES. ONE PROBLEM, I AM AT 91,000 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME GMC MAILED OUT LETTERS STATING THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS. I NEVER RECEIVED THIS LETTER!! NOW THEY ARE OFFERING TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR $600!! I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER HELP LINE AND THE SAID THE SAME THING. MY QUESTION IS IF GMC ADMITS TO THE FAULTY SPEEDOMETER THEN WHY DID THEY PUT A 70,000 MILE CAP ON THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD?? COULD YOU PLEASE HELP? ALSO DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE WITH THIS ISSUE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND FOR LOOKING OUT FOR THE CONSUMER. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2007 GMC YUKON THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP THAT IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. I NOTICED IN OCTOBER OF 2009 THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THE CRACKS GOT WORSE AND NOW ARE IN THREE AREAS. I CONTACTED GMC AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO ACCESS THE DAMAGE. A WEEK AFTER I TOOK IT IN I CONTACTED GMC AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD OFFER ME A 10% DISCOUNT TO HAVE IT FIXED. I TRIED TO SPEAK TO THEIR SUPERVISOR AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AND I GAVE UP. SINCE THEN THE DASHBOARD HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND PIECES OF THE DASH BOARD ARE BREAKING OFF INTO THE DASH. WHEN I PUT MY HAND ON THE DASH IT IS NOT STABLE AS THERE IS A LOT OF MOVEMENT. THE CRACKS ARE ALSO AROUND MY AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN TWO SPOTS. I'M AFRAID TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONING DUE TO A COLLAPSE OF THE DASH. THERE ARE PIECES OF THE DASH THAT ARE ALREADY BREAKING OFF ABOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL. I'M AFAID IF THIS SIDE COLLAPES THAT IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE, ENTRAPMENT, ACCIDENT, INJURY AND OR DEATH. I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND MY CONCERN OF ME AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SUPPLY YOU WITH PICTURES OR BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. GM TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE GUY SAID HE HAD SEEN A FEW LIKE THIS. I HAVE ALSO FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME THIS HAPPEN TO THEIR 2007 YUKON OR 2007 TAHOE.

WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 75 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER JUST GOES DOWN TO 25 OR 30 MPH FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THEN TO ZERO AND STAYS THERE. I HAVE TO SHUT ENGINE OFF TO RESET SPEEDOMETER, THEN IT WORKS FOR ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED MILES. THIS HAS TO BE UNSAFE. I HAVE 95000 MILES NOW.

ABS ACTIVATES DURING SLOW STOPS, INCREASES STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER PERFORMED RECALL 05V37900 AND PROBLEM PERSISTS. DEALER REPLACED BOTH FRONT SPEED SENSORS AND PROBLEM PERSISTS. I BELIEVE PROBLEM IS CORROSION IN FRONT WHEEL HUBS ON TONE RING. RECALL DOES NOT ADDRESS THAT PART.

WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKES JERK OR A SLIPPING MOTION AFTER YOU ARE AT COMPLETE STOP. WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE HAVE JUST LUBED THE PROBLEM, ACCORDING THEIR MEMO THAT IS THE PROCEDURE, INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A ALMOST DAILY BASIS, IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT GMC DOESN'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR
