ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPEEDOMETER OPERATES ERRATICALLY IF AT ALL. VEHICLE HAS 100,000 MILES AND GM WILL ONLY REPLACE THE CLUSTER IF UNDER 70,000 MILES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK. *TR

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING GOES INTO "FULL MODE" AT SPEEDS ABOVE ABOUT 25 MPH, MAKING A ONE INCH MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL INTO THE EQUIVALENT OF A ONE QUARTER TURN OF THE WHEEL. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY, ALTHOUGH ON CITY STREETS IT MAKES THE VEHICLE JERK AROUND IN THE LANE. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED AND HAS RESULTED IN ONE DEATH AND ABOUT 8-10 ACCIDENTS. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS CONDITION, AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL "CLOSE CALLS" DUE TO THIS FAULTY GMC PART, WHICH HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ALREADY PUBLISHED ABOUT IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I PURCHASED A 2007 YUKON AND SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD THE REAR AXLE BEARING REPLACED 2 TIMES AT 43K MILES AND AGAIN AT 93K DUE TO A HUMMING NOISE EXTREMELY LOUD. AGAIN THE NOISE RECURRED AT 123K MILES I RETURNED TO DEALER THEY REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AT 100K. I MENTIONED THAT THE NOISE RETURNED FOR THE 3RD TIME. II CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY W MY DAUGHTER THE CAR LOCKED ( DIFFERENTIAL). THE DIFFERENTIAL GEARS BROKE..I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE LAST DEALER THAT REPAIRED VEHICLE AND THEY MENTIONED IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY ( WHICH IS WHY THEY COULDN'T INSPECT IT UNLESS I PAID). I THEN TOOK IT TO MY HOME DEALER WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND THEY DISCOVERED AN INTACT SCREW WHEN THEY REMOVED THE COVER FROM DIFFERENTIAL. MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE PREVIOUS DEALER THAT WORKED ON VEHICLE MIGHT HAVE NOT TIGHTENED BOLT CORRECTLY SINCE BOLT HAD NO DAMAGE OF THREADS AND WAS INTACT. I THEN CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. SERVICE DIRECTOR DID MENTION THAT AXLES COULD HAVE SHOT OUT AND CAUSED FATAL CRASH KEEP IN MIND MY DAUGHTER OF AGE 6 WAS IN THE CAR.DEALER (HOME DEALER) STILL HAS VEHICLE AND DEALER THAT LAST REPAIRED REFUSES TO CORRECT PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH SINCE LAST REPAIRED AND MENTIONED IF NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY CAUSED PROBLEM BY NOW. PLEASE ADVISE IF I HAVE ANY ALTERNATIVE COURSE OF ACTION THE REPAIRS EXCEED 5000.00 DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING ANY DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WHEN DRIVE SHAFT LOCKED ... *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGES AT LOW SPEEDS EVERY TIME I STOP. THIS COULD CAUSE FRONT END COLLISION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COMPLETELY STOP WHEN BRAKING AND I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL. GM WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH MILEAGE WAS NOT A FACTOR. OTHER YUKON VEHICLES WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT MY VIN FOR SOME REASON WAS NOT INCLUDED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. THE VEHICLE TAKE 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE RESPONDING, RESULTING IN DELAY OF MERGING AND STALLING AT STOP LIGHTS. IT BECOMES DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY AND TAKING OFF, I HAVE HAD INDIVIDUALS ALMOST SLAM INTO ME AND I HAVE RAN INTO A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. IT SUDDENLY TAKE OFF, LEAVING THE DRIVER OFF GUARD. *TR

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT I WAS TRAVELING AT A RATE OF 120MPH. I TOOK MY 2004 YUKON TO THE GARAGE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (AT A COST OF $800.00). THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE 2004 YUKON AND THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. MY QUESTION TO GMC IS, HOW MANY DEATHS DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SO. I BOUGHT MY TRUCK USED, AND THE WARRANTY IS NO LONGER VALID. MY SISTER OWNS A 2005 YUKON THAT SHE JUST PURCHASED (STILL UNDER WARRANTY) AND HER INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS JUST REPLACED LAST WEEK. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRACTION ACTIVE APPEARS ON DISPLAY - WHILE STOPPED AT A VERY DANGEROUS INTERSECTION, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ONLY TO HAVE THE TRACTION ACTIVE LIGHT APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO LET OFF THE GAS AND THEN PRESS IT AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER READING ERRATIC SPEEDS (I.E. 110 MPH WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH) I THOUGHT IT WOULD GO BACK TO 0 MPH WHEN I STOPPED BUT IT DIDN'T. INSTEAD IT WENT PASSED 120 MPH AND HAS BEEN THERE EVER SINCE. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM I NOTICED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I HAVE A GPS THAT TELLS ME HOW FAST I'M GOING SO I CAN STILL DRIVE IT BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR FREAKS OUT BEHIND THE WHEEL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WINDOWS, RADIO AND DOOR LOCKS WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS TO BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS BASED ON SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS I FOUND BY GOOGLING "PROBLEMS WITH 99 YUKON DENALI". IT SEEMS AS THOUGH REPLACING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE FIXES THE ISSUE IN SOME CASES BUT MOST HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FIX IT. SOME EVEN SAY THEY EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN MY 2006 GMC YUKON DENALI XL IS AT A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN AND I AM DRIVING LESS THAN 10MPH AND I GO TO ACCELERATE (NOT SPINNING THE TIRES AND NOT ON WET OR SLIPPERY SURFACES) THE "TRACTION ACTIVE" MESSAGE DISPLAYS AND I LOSE ALL POWER FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THIS MANY TIMES HAS LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS TRACTION ACTIVE AND THERE ARE MANY ARTICLES FROM OTHER YUKON OWNERS STATING THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. I PRINTED OFF 9 PAGES AND TOOK TO MY DEALER/SERVICE DEPARTMENT (SIMMONS ROCKWELL IN BATH, NY) AND AFTER LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I EVEN SUPPLIED THEM WITH AN ABS RECALL DOCUMENT ID # 1819672 OF WHICH THE SUBJECT IS 'PRODUCT SAFETY ' FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CORROSION #05068B. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE A CONDITION PERMITTING CORROSION TO OCCUR BETWEEN THE FRONT HUB/BEARING ASSEMBLY AND THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF GREATER THAN 3.7 MPH BUT LESS THAN 10 MPH, THE CORROSION MAY CAUSE AN UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATION. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURRED WHERE STOPPING DISTANCE IS LIMITED, A CRASH COULD OCCUR.' MY DEALER SAID THE COMPUTER DIDN'T SHOW ANY ISSUES, BUT AS SOON AS I DROVE HOME IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I DON'T THINK MY DEALER EVEN LOOKED AT THE DOCUMENTS I PROVIDED TO THEM TO HELP THEM DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH GMC YUKONS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE JUST NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
