SOME DOORS DON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK, I HAVE HAD THIS INTO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE TO GET IT FIXED. AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, AND THANK GOODNESS FOR CAR SEATS BECAUSE MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OPENED HER DOOR WHILE I WAS TURNING A CORNER AND ALMOST HIS ANOTHER CAR BESIDE ME. I AM TAKING MY YUKON IN TO GET FIXED AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL IN THE DOORS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON MY 2005 GMC YUKON, AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR SO, DURING BRAKING, THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING/SLIPPING FEELING, THAT FELT LIKE IT CAME FROM THE FRONT END. AFTER GETTING THE BRAKES CHECKED OUT, I WAS TOLD THEY WERE FINE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER PLACE, AND THEY DUPLICATED THE SOUND AND CHANGED THE REAR BRAKES. DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN IT CAME BACK. STILL FEELS AND SOUNDS THE SAME. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP. THEY SAID THE FRONT BRAKES WERE FINE BUT I WANTED THEM CHANGED ANYWAY. SO THEY DID. NOISE STILL THERE. ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS ISSUE? THE NOISE AND FEEL OCCUR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP OR TURN FROM NORMAL TRAVEL SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY OR ROADWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON ALL 4 OCCASIONS, THE 2008 YUKON HYBRID, LUNGES FORWARD AT LOW SPEEDS, LOOSES BRAKES, POWER STEERING AND ALL POWER. EVERY TIME IT HAS TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE AUGUST 2008. THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE FUSE BOX, THEN WHILE THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE AGAIN. THE DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THAT IT IS FIXED AND SAFE TO DRIVE. THE YUKON IS BACK AT THE DEALER AND I AM NOT TAKING IT BACK. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS RIGHT AWAY. I NOW HAVE AN ATTORNEY AND WE ARE CONTACTING GM AS WELL. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 YUKON DENALI XL, I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER BEING ERRATIC. I WILL BE DRIVING WITH TRAFFIC IN A 35 MPH ZONE LOOK AT MY SPEEDO IT SAYS I'M DOING 110 MPH. I WILL SCHEDULE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEN IT WILL WORK FINE FOR THE NEXT 3-6 MONTHS THEN IT WILL SCREW UP AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS IS VERY TROUBLESOME AS I REALLY NEVER AM SURE AT WHAT SPEED I AM GOING AND MY DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT MORE COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE ON THE INTERNET SO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION. WHAT CAN BE DONE????? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON THAT HAS AN ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER. AT TIMES, IT WILL FREEZE UP. OTHER TIMES IT WILL DISPLAY THE INCORRECT SPEED INCLUDING FREEZING AT 0MPH. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT BY OWNERS OF VEHICLES CONTAINING THESE TYPES OF FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS. MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT AND IS NOT COVERED BY ANY SORT OF GMC WARRANTY AND/OR REPLACEMENT PLAN. THIS EQUIPMENT POSES A SAFETY THREAT AS I CANNOT DETERMINE THE SPEED OF MY VEHICLE AND MORE ACCURATELY INTERPRET FOLLOWING DISTANCE FROM OTHER VEHICLES. *TR
