SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS MODULE FAILURE AT AROUND 39,000 MILES. REMOVED ABS FUSE TO GET MOTOR TO STOP RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY, AS IT WAS EXTREMELY HOT. CALLED DEALERSHIP ABOUT REPAIRING THE MOTOR, BUT THEY DO NOT REPAIR THE MODULES, ONLY REPLACE ENTIRE MODULE FOR $1000 (WITH THE EXACT SAME MODULE). SENT MODULE TO A COMPANY THAT REPLACED THE FAULTY PARTS FOR $100, WITH PARTS THAT WELL EXCEED SHODDY OEM STANDARDS, WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE PARTS AS WELL. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED RADIO CONTROLS ON SOME 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI TRUCKS WITH THE SIX DISC CD CHANGER. ONE OF THESE CONTROLS IS SUPPOSE TO ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE THE DISC THAT IS PLAYING TO ANOTHER ONE OF THE SIX THAT YOU HAVE LOADED INTO THE CHANGER. ON SOME OF THESE TRUCKS THE WRONG WIRING HARNESS WAS INSTALLED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BUILT ALONG WITH THE WRONG SOFTWARE BEING LOADED INTO THE ELECTRONIC MODULE. THIS PREVENTS THIS CONTROL FROM FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. INSTEAD OF CHANGING THE DISC THAT IS PLAYING, IT SIMPLE GOES TO THE NEXT SONG ON THAT SAME CD. THERE IS ALREADY A CONTROL ON THE STEERING COLUMN TO DO THIS. WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP HE SAID AT FIRST THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROL MODULE WAS BAD AND THEN THAT THE RADIO WAS DEFECTIVE. BOTH ITEMS WERE REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. HE THEN CHECKED SOME OF THE OTHER YUKON DENALIS THAT HE HAD IN STOCK AND TOLD ME THAT ON SOME OF THESE CARS THE CONTROLS WORKED PROPERLY AND ON SOME THEY DID NOT. HE THEN TOLD ME ABOUT THE WIRING HARNESS AND SOFTWARE PROBLEM. GM'S POSITION IS THAT THESE CARS ARE BUILT PROPERLY AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PAGE 336 OF THE OWNERS MANUAL CLEARLY SAYS THAT THIS BUTTON SHOULD CHANGE THE DISC THAT IS PLAYING. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE NOW WHEN YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE DISC YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD AND LOOK DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD AND LOCATE A SMALL 1/4" BY 1/2" BUTTON AND PUSH IT. THIS CAN CAUSE YOU TO DRIFT OUT OF YOUR LANE OF TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS, AFTER ALL, IS A PRIMARY PURPOSE OF STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS FOR RADIOS-YOU CAN KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND FORCE GM TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED NEW YUKON DENALI XL ON 3/19/05. INITIALLY MY HUSBAND AND I NOTICED THE SEAT POSITION MEMORY WAS FAULTY. PROBLEM WAS MINOR DID NOT REPORT IT. REPLACED THE HEAD LIGHTS EVERY 2 MONTHS ~ DROVE US CRAZY BUT WE DID NOT COMPLAIN. LESS THAN 8 MONTHS PAINT ON THE CONSOLE AND ACCESSORY BUTTONS PEELED. FINALLY ON 3/2/07 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND GOT A TRANSMISSION HOT MESSAGE. FURIOUS AND CONCERNED I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. LATER THAT DAY I FIND OUT THAT MY LESS THAN TWO YEAR OLD TRUCK COSTING ABOUT $50,000 NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR AND COOLANT SYSTEM, REPLACED RADIATOR HOSES UPPER AND LOWER,HEATER HOSES, REPLACED COOLANT JUG, REPLACED THERMOSTAT, REPLACE BYPASS HOSE AND TRUCK NEEDED AN EXTENSIVE ENGINE BLOCK COOLING FLUSH, FURTHER INDICATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUID MIXED - TOTALING $2,100. TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP ON 1/12/07 FOR REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, WHICH INCLUDED INSPECTION OF THE RADIATOR, COOLANT SYSTEM AND HOSES. ON 3/6/07, CALLED TO CHECK ON MY TRUCK TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE ADVISOR STATED " I WOULD NOT GET THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED RIGHT NOW, JUST BEGIN A SERVICE FOR A NEW VEHICLE" JUST THE WORDS YOU WANT TO HEAR AFTER WASTING YOUR MONEY ON A LUXURY SUV. I CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY INDICATED THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE ISSUE. AFTER DOING AN IN DEPTH ONLINE SEARCH I AM NOW AWARE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. GMC AS WELL AS THE DEALER ACT AS IF IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL SO OWNERS HAVE NOT PRESSED THE ISSUE. MANY OWNERS STATE THAT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE RUN AROUND SO THEY GET THE CAR REPAIRED AND DON'T PURSUE THE ISSUE. THIS MATTER NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND POSSIBLE RECALLS. NO AUTOMOBILE SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION / RADIATOR/ COOLANT/ ELECTRICAL (HEAD LIGHT) /MEMORY MALFUNCTION OR CHEAP INTERIOR ISSUES WITHIN 2 YRS. GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR POORLY MANUFACTURED YUKON DENALI. *JB

STOPPED AGAIN, HAD TO GO TO FIRST, WOULDN'T MOVE IN ANY OTHER GEAR AND BARELY IN FIRST. I WAS NEAR THE DEALER THANK GOODNESS AND PULLED IN THERE. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WAS DRIVING TRUCK AND NOTICED LOUD MOTOR NOISE IN ADDITION TO ENGINE RUNNING. TURNED TRUCK OFF IN GARAGE AND A MOTOR NOISE WAS STILL RUNNING WITH ENGINE TURNED OFF. ABS LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATED. UNLOADED CHILD, SELF AND GROCERIES FROM TRUCK. 30 MINUTES LATER, (TRYING TO FIGURE OUT NEXT STEP TO CORRECT PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS A SUNDAY), MOTOR NOISE IS STILL RUNNING AND ENGINE IS OFF. DROVE TRUCK TO FIRESTONE GARAGE. TURNED ENGINE OFF, MOTOR NOISE STILL RUNNING. GARAGE HOOKED TRUCK UP TO DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND SAID THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE IN ABS SYSTEM. THEY DISCONNECTED ABS SYSTEM AND MOTOR NOISE STOPPED. SAID THAT THE PART WAS DANGEROUSLY HOT AND THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM SITS RIGHT UNDER/OVER THE GAS TANK. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY AND HOUSE IF IT CAUSED A FIRE IN MY GARAGE? WHAT IF I COULDN'T HAVE FOUND A GARAGE THAT WAS OPEN ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON? THERE AREN'T MANY, BELIEVE ME. I HAVE RECEIVED A QUOTE TO HAVE PART REPLACED, BUT HAVE NOT FIXED YET. IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT FOR ME TO LEAVE MY TRUCK AT A DEALERSHIP FOR THE LENGTH OF TIME THIS IS GOING TO TAKE TO BE DIAGNOSED AGAIN (AND OF COURSE THE DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY THE $99 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AGAIN AFTER I HAVE ALREADY PAID THIS ONCE TO FIRESTONE). I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE ABS SYSTEM SHOULD FAIL ON A TRUCK THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED SLOWLY DECREASING WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. IT FINALLY GOT TO ZERO AND QUIT WORKING FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. IT DID THIS SPORADICALLY FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS - SOMETIMES IT DECREASES, SOMETIMES IT INCREASES. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER, WHEN IT WORKS, USUALLY SHOWS 70 MPH OR HIGHER. IT REGISTERS A SPEED WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR NOT. ALL THE OTHER GAUGES SEEM TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY. WE NOW MONITOR OUR SPEED BY THE TACHOMETER. WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN AN ESTIMATE ON REPAIR HOPING GM WILL ISSUE A RECALL. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I OWN A 2003 GMC YUKON AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. MEANING THE SPEEDOMETER ALONG WITH THE BATTERY GAUGE. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. MY BATTERY GAUGE WORKS PROPERLY SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING INTO THE PROBLEM HE TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. HE SAID HE HAS HAD TO REPLACE MANY OTHER ONES ALSO. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE SPEEDOMETER THEN IT MOVED TO MY BATTERY GAUGE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR ABOUT 8,000 MILES. I HAVE 47,273 MILES ON MY YUKON. IT STARTED JUST AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
TL* - THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING HIS 1999 GMC YUKON AND COMING TO A STOP HE COULD HEAR THE ABS ENGAGED. WHILE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE IT CONTINUED TO ROLL A FEW MORE FEET. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS HAPPENED EVERYDAY, AND HE TRIED TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THE ABS. THE ABS PREVENTED HIM FROM COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS FAILURE CAUSED A CRASH. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE IMPACT WAS MINOR AND LITTLE DAMAGE WAS DONE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DIAGNOSTICS SERVICES. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN A RECALL BULLETIN NUMBER FROM NHTSA # 05V379000, STATING THAT DEALERSHIP WAS TO REMOVE THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. *AK UPDATED 03/07/07*JB
