AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2007 GMC YUKON THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP THAT IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. I NOTICED IN OCTOBER OF 2009 THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THE CRACKS GOT WORSE AND NOW ARE IN THREE AREAS. I CONTACTED GMC AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO ACCESS THE DAMAGE. A WEEK AFTER I TOOK IT IN I CONTACTED GMC AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD OFFER ME A 10% DISCOUNT TO HAVE IT FIXED. I TRIED TO SPEAK TO THEIR SUPERVISOR AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AND I GAVE UP. SINCE THEN THE DASHBOARD HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND PIECES OF THE DASH BOARD ARE BREAKING OFF INTO THE DASH. WHEN I PUT MY HAND ON THE DASH IT IS NOT STABLE AS THERE IS A LOT OF MOVEMENT. THE CRACKS ARE ALSO AROUND MY AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN TWO SPOTS. I'M AFRAID TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONING DUE TO A COLLAPSE OF THE DASH. THERE ARE PIECES OF THE DASH THAT ARE ALREADY BREAKING OFF ABOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL. I'M AFAID IF THIS SIDE COLLAPES THAT IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE, ENTRAPMENT, ACCIDENT, INJURY AND OR DEATH. I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND MY CONCERN OF ME AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SUPPLY YOU WITH PICTURES OR BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. GM TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE GUY SAID HE HAD SEEN A FEW LIKE THIS. I HAVE ALSO FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME THIS HAPPEN TO THEIR 2007 YUKON OR 2007 TAHOE.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKES JERK OR A SLIPPING MOTION AFTER YOU ARE AT COMPLETE STOP. WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE HAVE JUST LUBED THE PROBLEM, ACCORDING THEIR MEMO THAT IS THE PROCEDURE, INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A ALMOST DAILY BASIS, IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT GMC DOESN'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

POWER TRAIN, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I PURCHASED A 2007 YUKON AND SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD THE REAR AXLE BEARING REPLACED 2 TIMES AT 43K MILES AND AGAIN AT 93K DUE TO A HUMMING NOISE EXTREMELY LOUD. AGAIN THE NOISE RECURRED AT 123K MILES I RETURNED TO DEALER THEY REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AT 100K. I MENTIONED THAT THE NOISE RETURNED FOR THE 3RD TIME. II CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY W MY DAUGHTER THE CAR LOCKED ( DIFFERENTIAL). THE DIFFERENTIAL GEARS BROKE..I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE LAST DEALER THAT REPAIRED VEHICLE AND THEY MENTIONED IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY ( WHICH IS WHY THEY COULDN'T INSPECT IT UNLESS I PAID). I THEN TOOK IT TO MY HOME DEALER WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND THEY DISCOVERED AN INTACT SCREW WHEN THEY REMOVED THE COVER FROM DIFFERENTIAL. MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE PREVIOUS DEALER THAT WORKED ON VEHICLE MIGHT HAVE NOT TIGHTENED BOLT CORRECTLY SINCE BOLT HAD NO DAMAGE OF THREADS AND WAS INTACT. I THEN CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. SERVICE DIRECTOR DID MENTION THAT AXLES COULD HAVE SHOT OUT AND CAUSED FATAL CRASH KEEP IN MIND MY DAUGHTER OF AGE 6 WAS IN THE CAR.DEALER (HOME DEALER) STILL HAS VEHICLE AND DEALER THAT LAST REPAIRED REFUSES TO CORRECT PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH SINCE LAST REPAIRED AND MENTIONED IF NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY CAUSED PROBLEM BY NOW. PLEASE ADVISE IF I HAVE ANY ALTERNATIVE COURSE OF ACTION THE REPAIRS EXCEED 5000.00 DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING ANY DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WHEN DRIVE SHAFT LOCKED ... *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
THE CHECK ENGINE/SERVICE STABILITRAK/ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY YET THE GMC DEALER CANNOT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. POTENTIALLY A CONNECTION TO RECALL OF CARS EQUIPPED WITH HEATED WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID FEATURE. DID DETECT A SLIGHT ODOR SHORTLY AFTER USING THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID AND THE INDICATOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN CONSIDERABLY ON THE HIGHWAY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THUS FAR NOTHING HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM; WE ARE HOPING TO GET THE CAR BACK TO OUR HOME STATE SO THE DEALER CAN WORK ON RESOLVING THIS HAZARD. *TR

SEATS, AIR BAGS
TRAVELING AT NIGHT, AT 65 MILES AN HOUR IN A 2007 YUKON SLE2 4 DR WAGON, I HIT A STEER (APPROXIMATELY 880LBS). UPON IMPACT, THE BOTTOM OF MY POWER DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED FORWARD AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT TILTED FORWARD, CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE DEALER, AND MY INSURANCE AGENT BOTH VERBALLY AND IN WRITING. THE VEHICLE HAD OVER $11,000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE, BUT THE REPAIR CENTER STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY DAMAGE TO THE SEAT. I TRADED THE VEHICLE IN, AS I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT WITH THE SEAT NOT BEING REPLACED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE IS NOW FOR SALE AGAIN, AND I AM FEARFUL THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE IN A WRECK AND THE SEAT WILL MALFUNCTION AGAIN. *TR
