LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 YUKON SLT, ON A DAILY BASIS MY FAMILY AND I EXPERIENCE SMALL CUTS ON OUR HANDS AND FINGERS, BY OPENING THE INTERIOR CAR DOORS. THE LATCHES BECOME EXTREMELY SHARP AT THE TOP SEEMS. I HAVE HAD TO TEACH MY CHILDREN HOW TO AVOID GETTING CUTS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR FIVE DAYS AND WE HAVE SUSTAINED CUTS FOR FIVE DAYS. HOW LONG SHOULD THIS GO ON?? *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY 22 MONTH OLD GRANDSON WAS SITTING IN MY 2006 GMC YUKON PRETENDING TO DRIVE. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING THE KEYS WERE IN THE VEHICLE THE RADIO WAS PLAYING, I WAS STANDING 3 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE WITH MY BACK TO IT. I HEARD THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT. I TURNED TO SEE THE VEHICLE ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. LUCKILY I HAVE A SHORT DRIVEWAY AND LIVE ON A CUL-DE-SAC. BY THE TIME I CAUGHT THE VEHICLE AND PUSHED THE E BRAKE TO STOP IT I WAS AT THE END OF MY DRIVE WAY. I THOUGHT I HAD TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND INTO GEAR OR NEUTRAL. WHICH IS TRUE UNLESS THE KEY IS PUT INTO ACC MODE. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE WRITER AND GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC DIDN'T KNOW THAT IF A VEHICLES KEY WAS IN ACC MODE ANYONE CAN SHIFT THE GEARS AROUND. EVEN MY 22 MONTH OLD GRAND SON A SAFETY FEATURE FOR GM VEHICLES IS A PERSON HAS TO STEP ON THE BRAKE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. THE SERVICE WRITER AND MECHANIC CHECKED A FEW OTHER VEHICLE AROUND THE SHOP AND FOUND THIS TO WORK ON EVERYONE THEY TRIED. SO MUCH FOR THE SAFETY FEATURE. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2004 GMC YUKON IN MARCH OF 2008, PREVIOUSLY IT HAD BEEN A FLEET VEHICLE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN COLORADO, AND DROVE IT TO WASHINGTON STATE. SHORTLY AFTER WE ARRIVED, THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT GETS STUCK AT ETHER 25 RPMS, OR 75 RPMS. THE SPEEDOMETER READS ACCURATELY, AND ONLY RECENTLY THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN STICKING. I HAD GOTTEN A NOTICE THAT THESE PARTS HAD BEEN "RECALLED" BUT ONLY FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, FOR VEHICLES OVER 7,000 MILES ON IT. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 6,500 MILES. WHEN I CALLED A GMC OFFICE THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR
