UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE 2 SEPARATE CRACKS ON MY DASH, ONE IS LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE AIRBAG, THE OTHER ONE IS LOCATED ON THE HUMP ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACKS KEEP GETTING LONGER, MY DASH RATTLES, IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE AND GM HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T CAUSE TO HAPPEN. I'M BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION.

TRAVELING AT ABOUT 25 MPH IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE ENGINE AND STABILITRAK LIGHTS CAME ON AND POWER ABRUPTLY CUT OUT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND I WAS SAFELY ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CAN ONLY IMAGE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON A BUSY FREEWAY OR A CROWDED INTERSECTION. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY ENGINE SPEED REDUCED ABRUPTLY WHILE TRAVELING SPEED OF 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. A REDUCED ENGINE SPEED, SERVICE STABILIZATION TRACK AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SIGNS COME ON. IF I PULL OVER AND WAIT 1 MINUTE IT STARTS AND DOESN'T DO AGAIN FOR 15 MINUTES. SOMETIMES THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR A WEEK. I READ FORUMS AND IT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY, AND ONLY WITH GM VEHICLES, BUT GM FAILS TO REQUEST A RECALL. SOME HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE, AND IT STILL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I HAVE A 2007 YUKON THAT CONTINUALLY HAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND ERROR SAYING SERVICE STABILITRAK - SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. SOMETIMES IT WILL CLUNK (WHEN SHIFTING AND THIS HAPPENS). I HAD THE THROTTLE SENSOR REPLACED AND ALL 8 SPARK PLUGS IN 2013 AND SAME ERROR IS NOW BACK. THEY ARE SAYING I HAVE MULTIPLE MISFIRES NOW AND I NEED TO REPLACE ALL MY SPARK PLUGS AGAIN (FOR ANOTHER $500) BUT THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX IT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM - ALL OVER THE WEB - AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE GMC HAS TAKEN ANY ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT A VERY REPUTABLE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE. I AM SERIOUSLY AT A LOSS FOR WORDS AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN. *TR

ENGINE, SUSPENSION, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
AS I WAS DRIVING 'OIL PRESSURE IS LOW, CUT THE ENGINE OFF' WARNING CAME ON AND THE OIL LIGHT WAS ON. THAT ALSO TRIGGERED THE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAK LIGHT TO COME ON. FROM THEN ON WHENEVER I DRIVE THE VEHICLE THOSE LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE GMC 2007 ENGINE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORMS FROM CHEVY, CADILLAC, AND GMC WHERE CONSUMERS THAT HAVE THESE ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN WE TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIPS WE ARE TOLD TO CHANGE THE ENGINE. I WAS JUST QUOTED OVER $8000 TO CHANGE THIS ENGINE. I CAN'T EVEN SELL THIS TRUCK WITHOUT LOSING MY SHIRT. WE NEED HELP OUT HERE. GM KNOWS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIPS KNOW. THEY ARE SWEEPING THIS UNDER THE RUG UNTIL SOME PEOPLE DIE BECAUSE OF IT! *TR

2007 GMC YUKON DENALI. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM AND ENGINE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO START. HOWEVER THE ENGINE STARTED TO SURGE AND HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. HE CRASHED INTO THE PROCEEDING VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER SPOKE TO TWO MECHANICS WHO INFORMED HIM, IT WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING. THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE TRIGGERING OF THE ABS BY DETERIORATION OF THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING. *JB

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH, THE SUV CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY A TRACTION CONTROL WARNING ON THE DISPLAY, THEN THE VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE", REDUCING POWER AND SPEED TO APPROX 20 MPH. SHE TURNED ON THE HAZARDS, AND MOVED INTO THE RIGHT LANE AS OTHER VEHICLES WENT AROUND HER AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT AS THE ENGINE WAS BUCKING AND MISSING. SHE EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND LIMPED THE TRUCK, BARELY GETTING UP TO 20 MPH TO A SERVICE SHOP. THEY SCANNED THE CODES, THE ONLY ONE THERE DIRECTED THEM TO CHANGE THE THROTTLE BODY, ($580). THE VEHICLE RAN GOOD FOR 3 DAYS, THEN ALL THE SAME BELLS AND WHISTLES CAME BACK. GMC SERVICE SAID THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF A PROBLEM. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND IT'S FAR FROM UNCOMMON. IF THIS HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
AFTER TAKING A ONLINE SAFETY COARSE I WAS INSTRUCTED ON ADJUSTING MY OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS FOR BETTER VIEWING OF BLACK VIEWS FROM MY INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR.. AFTER DOING SO,BEING THE ONLY DRIVER, THE MIRRORS STAYED THE SAME...AFTER SOME TIME I READ IN MY MANUAL THAT I COULD FOLD MY SIDE MIRRORS IN AND SO I TRIED TO DO SO . MY DRIVER OUTSIDE MIRROR WOULD NOT FOLD. IT ONLY MADE A CLICKING SOUND..I THEN TRIED MY RIGHT SIDE MIRROR AND IT WORKED BUT AS I TRIED TO ADJUST MY RIGHT SIDE MIRROR IT STOPPED ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE MIRROR VIEW. I HAVE ADJUSTED THE VIEW ANGLE JUST A FEW TIMES AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE TRIED TO FOLD THE MIRRORS IN. I'M TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PLASTIC HARDWARE ON SUCH A NICE VEHICLE.. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY DRIVER'S SIDE ELECTRIC CONTROL PANEL STOPPED WORKING ABRUPTLY. ONE MORNING, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND TRIED TO OPEN THE WINDOW. I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN EITHER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW OR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW. ADDITIONALLY, I WAS UNABLE TO LOWER THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW AND THE POWER DOOR OPENER WAS NOT WORKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I CALLED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY EXAMINED THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT WATER GOT INTO THE CASING IN THE ELECTRICAL SWITCH CONTROL PANEL CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN SUVS AND ISUZU SUVS AND WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RE-CALL. HOWEVER, SINCE MY SUV IS A YUKON DENALI, IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE FIXED UNDER THE RE-CALL. THEY TOOK THE CONTROL PANEL APART AND SHOWED ME A SMALL WHITE PLUG INSIDE THE CONTROL PANEL THAT WAS BURNED, BROWN AND MELTED ON THE END. THEY DISCONNECTED THIS PLUG AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THE CAR WITH IT PLUGGED IN. I TOLD THEM THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD SIMPLY BECAUSE IT DID NOT OCCUR ON AN ISUZU OR A NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME THAT, IN FACT, THE YUKON DENALI IS SIMILAR TO THE RECALLED NISSAN MODELS BUT THEY CANNOT FIX THE ELECTRICAL SHORT UNLESS IT IS A SPECIFIC SUBJECT OF A RE-CALL. *TR

STRUCTURE
MY VEHICLE HAS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD BECOMING CRACKED. IT PROBABLY STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, BUT IT HAS BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AND HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS AND HOLES NOW. I HAD INQUIRED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR NOTICES. APPARENTLY THOUGH IT IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM AS EVIDENCED BY GOOGLING "CRACKED DASHBOARDS IN 2007 GMC YUKON". THIS IS REALLY NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT A SIGNIFICANT COSMETIC ISSUE. THE COST TO REPLACE IT HAS BEEN QUOTED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO BE AROUND $1100. I HAVE ASKED A THIRD PARTY VENDOR WHO DOES A COVER REPLACEMENT FOR ABOUT 1/3 OF THE COST (BUT HE DOES NOT REPLACE IT). HE SAID THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH GMC DASHBOARDS IN THEIR TRUCKS AND YUKONS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I THINK HE SAID IT WAS A QUALITY ISSUE IN THE PLASTIC USED IN THE DASHBOARDS. MY CAR HAS REALLY HAD MINIMAL SUN EXPOSURE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED THE PROBLEM. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
2007 GMC YUKON DENALI. AS I WAS DRIVING...ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWING WITH VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL DISABLE THEN REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND IT WONT LET ME DRIVE MORE THEN 20 MPH. TOOK IT THE DEALER, REPLACED TERMINAL WIRES, REPLACED BCM MODULE ($1100). TWO DAYS LATER SAME LIGHTS COMES BACK ON DASHBOARD...TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED THROTTLE BODY REPLACED ($631). THEN EVEN MORE ISSUES CAME, AS YOU STOPPING FOR THE STOP LIGHT, BUT THE TRUCK JERKING FORWARD WHILE FOOT ON BREAK AND AS STOPPING IT MAKES A THUD NOISE WHEN SLOWING DOWN. CONTACT GM SAID THEY'LL BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT BUT THEN THEY DECLINE FOR ANY HELP AND SIMPLY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. NOW DEALER IS TELLING ME I NEED BREAKS, BALL JOINTS, UP CONTROL ARMS, SHOCKS. TRUCK HAS UNDER LESS THEN 100K MILES AND MOST OF THESE SHOULD LAST MORE THEN 100K. EVEN DEALER ADMITTED BY SAYING I'VE NEVER SEEN YUKON DENALI GOING BACK. ITS A SAFELY ISSUE. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK ANY MORE WITH 3 KIDS IN IT AND NOW IT JUST SITS IN MY GARAGE WHILE MAKING PAYMENTS TO THIS TRUCK. ITS RIDICULOUS! IM SURE THERE ARE SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP US AND OTHERS WHO ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE GM GET A LAWSUIT AND HAVE BLOOK ON THEIR HANDS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE AND WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT MOVED ON A JUMPING MODE TO THE FRONT. I GOT SO SCARED. THE CAR MOVED FORWARD WE COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED ON AN ACCIDENT ON AN INTERSECTION OR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. AS THAT HAPPENED I NOTICED IN DASHBOARD THE RMP COUNTER WAS MOVING UP AS IF IT WAS WERE ACCELERATING. IT WAS PRETTY SCARY MY KIDS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO RIDE ON THE ONLY CAR WE OWN. I HAD A MECHANIC TELL ME I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. THAT IT SEEM TO HIM AS A THROTTLE SYSTEM FAILURE AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN I TURN VEHICLE ON IT HAPPENS TOO. *JS

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
I NOTICED CRACKS OPENING NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA AND ON THE TOP OF SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER. CONTACTED THE GM AND I WAS TOLD A SERIES OF EXCUSES SUCH AS: "YOUR WARRANTY IS OVER", "YOU BOUGHT THE CAR USED ( I BOUGHT IT FROM A GM DEALER UNDER THE PRE-OWNED WARRANTY)", OR "MAYBE YOU USED PRODUCTS THAT CRACK THE PLASTIC!" AFTER A BRIEF RESEARCH I FOUND OUT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT GM MADE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CRACK OPEN AT THE SAME EXACT SPOTS, DOWN TO THE MILLIMETER, AND IT HAPPEN IN THE BRAND NEW CARS AS WELL AS THE OLDER ONES. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE ITEM, AND RESULT OF A WRONG DESIGN. GM DOES NOT REPLACE THE PART UNLESS WE PAY FOR IT. THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED THAT PARTS COULD FLY INTO THE CABIN AS A RESULT OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENTS AND REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. OUR CARS LOOSE ALSO THEIR VALUE WITH A DEFECTIVE/BROKEN DASH BOARD. THE FUNNIEST EXCUSE BY GM WAS: "OH, THE DASH PARTS ARE MADE IN MEXICO! YOU KNOW HOW THE MEXICANS ARE!" *TR
