ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
2007 YUKON GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER ON A REGULAR BASIS. AS A RESULT, THERE WAS A CRASH ON ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT. ON A DAILY BASIS, IT CONTINUES TO AND THE ENGINE CUTS OUT AS A RESULT AS WELL, NO RHYME OR REASON. ON THE INTERSTATE, GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR THE VEHICLE CUT OFF, WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND MYSELF AND MY FAMILY WERE JUST SECONDS SHORT FROM LOSING OUR LIVES. THIS HAS ALL BEEN REPORTED TO GM AND WE'VE GOTTEN NO RESOLUTION. MOTHERBOARDS, GAS PEDALS, GAS CAPS, WIRES, EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF HAS BEEN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE AND IT STILL GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER PUTTING MY FAMILIES LIVES AT RISK. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *KB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I HAVE REPLACED 3 OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2007 YUKON DENALI DUE TO BREAKAGE. DRIVERS SIDE AND REAR DRIVERSIDE PASSENGER WITHIN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. THE FIRST ONE BROKE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TWO OTHERS WERE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. BESIDES THE EXPENSE, $200 EACH EVENT,THE INCONVENIENCE OF TAKING TIME OUT OF MY SCHEDULE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED IS FRUSTRATING. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I PURCHASED MY 2007 YUKON ABOUT A YEAR AGO, IN THAT TIME THE STABILITRAK LIGHT/CHECK ENGINE/TRACTION CONTROL HAS COME ON 2 TIMES NOW. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON IT TELLS ME IT IS TURNING THE STABILITRAK OFF AND BEEPS AT ME. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT IS FINE TO DRIVE TO BRING IT IN LATER AND HE WILL HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. THE LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL I ARRIVE AT MY DESTINATION, I TURN THE CAR OFF LET IT SIT AND COME BACK LATER AND IT IS OFF WHEN I RESTART IT. I HAVE HAD THE MECHANIC HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER TWO TIMES NOW AND NOTHING SHOWS IN THE HISTORY. HE HAS CALLED AROUND TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED BEFORE OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP. *TR

THE CHROME METAL COVERING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES OF MY YUKON HAS CRACKED AND IS SEPARATING FROM THE HANDLES. THE SHARP CHROME METAL INJURED MY WIFE BY SLICING HER FINGER AS SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE. MY DAUGHTER PREVIOUSLY RAN HER FOOT ON THE BACK SEAT HANDLE AND CUT HER FOOT. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MATERIAL DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
2007 GMC YUKON SLT...STABILITRAK FAILURE. THIS ERROR HAS POPPED UP AS WE ARE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AROUND 7 TIMES. IT SHUTS DOWN AND REDUCES THE POWER TO THE ENGINE SO THAT THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE OUT OF TRAFFIC. IMAGINE DRIVING AT 70MPH AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND YOU HAVE A MASSIVE BIG RIG CLOSING DOWN ON YOUR TAIL WITH NO POWER TO GET OUT IF THE WAY! IMAGINE CLIMBING A HILL WITH THE VEHICLE POWER SUDDENLY REDUCED WITH A BIG RIG TRYING TO CLIMB BEHIND YOU AND YOU HAVE NO WHERE TO TURN OFF FOR SAFETY. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ONLY 127614 HIGHWAY MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM WITH ONLY 65,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WE GOT OUR BRAKES FIXED AT THE DEALER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO AND WE CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN OF NOISES AND SQUEAKING, BUT THE DEALER SAID IT WAS JUST DUST BECAUSE THEY WERE NEW. AFTER MONTHS OF COMPLAINING, WE BEGIN TO RECEIVE OIL CHANGES FREE OF CHARGE WITH NO EXPLANATIONS. JANUARY 6, 2011 I WENT IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE CALIBER WAS BROKEN AND LEAKING BRAKE FLUID;SHE ALSO SAID I NEED NEW FRONT BRAKE PADS; BOTH OF THE ROTORS ARE BROKEN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKES FOR ALMOST 4-6 MONTHS. ALSO THE DIFFERENTIAL IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AS WELL. ESTIMATION OF; THE BRAKE CALIBER AND PADS IS $550; BOTH ROTOR $1000 AND DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM $1000 WHICH I WILL HAVE TO PAY. I BELIEVE THESE PROBLEMS ARE MANUFACTURER RELATED AND SHOULD DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALER KEPT MY CAR AND STATED IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS NOT OFFERED A LOANER AFTER EXPLAINING THAT I ONLY HAVE ONE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I WAS NOT GIVEN AND ESTIMATED TIME OF WHEN THE CAR WOULD BE COMPLETED FOR REPAIRS. IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THIS CLAIM IS WARRANTED BEFORE I SPEND ANY OUT OF POCKET MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM OR AN ERROR BY ONE OF THE MECHANICS SOONER BEFORE THE PROBLEM ESCALATED INTO FURTHER DAMAGES. *TR
