AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
ON NOVEMBER 25, 2007, I WAS TRAVELING ON I-540, APPROX.65 MPH , A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES, VEHICLE "ZIG-ZAGED", I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD ROLL OVER. ONSTAR CALLED - I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT I DIDN'T NEED ANY HELP. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER GOING APPROX 45 MPH. RAN OVER SOMETHING, DIDN'T SEEM AS BIG AS A POTHOLE - BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. ONSTAR CALLED THINKING I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT I WAS 10 MINUTES FROM HOME AND THAT I COULD GET THERE WITHOUT CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (AUTOPARK BUICK, PONTIAC, GMC IN WENDELL, NC.(I THINK IT WAS TOWED ON 11/29/07). REPORTED TO GM, FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL TO ADVISE THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT GM WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, ON 12/26/07. REQUESTED A COPY OF THE REPORT IN WRITING, WHICH I FINALLY RECEIVED AFTER 2 REQUESTS ON 01/19/2008. THEIR REPORT STATES THAT THERE WAS ONLY 1 EVENT - 44 MPH - ROLLOVER SENSOR DEPLOYED THE AIRBAGS. I CALLED TO ASK THAT THEY REVIEW THE INFORMATION AGAIN OR HAVE THE "RECORDER IN THE CAR" CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THE FILE WAS CLOSED. CONTACTED ONSTAR AND RECEIVED A LETTER CONFIRMING THE 2 EVENTS . CALLED GM BACK TO TELL THEM I HAD NEW INFORMATION THAT SUPPORTED THE FACT THAT THERE WERE 2 EVENTS, AND THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG ON GM'S END - EITHER THE RECORDER WAS BAD OR THE DATA COLLECTED WAS ACCIDENTALLY ENTERED INCORRECTLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FILE WAS CLOSED AND WOULD NOT BE REOPENED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. VEHICLE STILL AT DEALERSHIP - NOT REPAIRED IN CASE ANOTHER INSPECTION NEEDS TO BE MADE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT AND GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
ON THE DASHBOARD, THERE IS A BUTTON WITH A STICK FIGURE IN A SITTING POSITION AND AN ARROW AT THE FEET OF THE STICK FIGURE TO INDICATE AIR TO BE DISCHARGED AT THE FLOOR BY THE FAN. WHEN I PUSH THAT BUTTON FOR HEATING, UNFORTUNATELY, 80-90% OF THE AIR IS BEING DISCHARGED AT THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD THROUGH A SMALL VENT ON THE FAR RIGHT AND LEFT OF THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO BLOW ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS TO DEFROST THEM. THERE IS ADDITIONAL LEAKAGE OF A SMALL VOLUME OF AIR AT THE DEFROST VENT FOR THE WINDSHIELD AND, WHATEVER'S LEFT, BLOWS ON THE FLOOR. THE NET RESULT IS THE VEHICLE IS PUMPING MOST OF THE HOT AIR TO THE CEILING (BECAUSE THE SMALL DASHBOARD VENTS POINT UP) WHERE HOT AIR NATURALLY WANTS TO BE AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET HOT AIR ON THE FLOOR WHERE, ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THE MAJORITY OF THE AIR SHOULD BE DIRECTED. THE COMPARTMENT, THEREFORE, TAKES FOREVER TO WARM UP AND YOUR FEET ACTUALLY GET COLD WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING THE CAR.

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE REAR HATCH LIGHT BEGAN ILLUMINATING. THIS CAUSED THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE, THE DOOR AJAR ALARM TO SOUND, AND DISABLED ALL OF THE BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE AND INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE ACCESSED MANUALLY. FIRST, THE COMPUTER CODES WERE RESET, BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS WIRING FAILURE AND REPLACED THE WIRING; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. FINALLY, THE ENTIRE HATCH WAS REPLACED AND THERE HAD BEEN NO FURTHER OCCURRENCES. ON NOVEMBER 6, 2007, THE STABLE TRACK WAS NOT DRIVING PROPERLY AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT MADE A CRUNCHING NOISE WHENEVER IT WAS MOVED. THE DEALER CLEARED THE ELECTRONIC CODES AGAIN AND DAMAGED THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. ON DECEMBER 26, 2007, THE HATCH AREA WAS LEAKING AND CREATED PUDDLES OF WATER IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SEAL WAS LEAKING AND IT WAS REPLACED AND APOXIED. THE VEHICLE HAS TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE SEAL HAS LOOSENED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,380 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 459.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS NEW VEHICLE HAS SHIFTING PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL REVERSE WHEN YOU STOMP ON THE GAS. IT DOESN'T RESPOND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT IF YOU PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT GET THE ACCELERATION NEEDED TO AVOID IMPACT. THE TRANSMISSION GOES CRAZY. THE LOCAL GMC CERTIFIED REPAIR SERVICE TECH SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO TRY TO WORK ON THE SYSTEM. GMC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS. IT WILL ACTUALLY MISS AND LOOSE RPM'S WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IN MOUNTAIN TERRAINS. IT IS ONLY SOMEWHAT RELIABLE IN HIGHWAY TRAVEL THAT IS FLAT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED SOON IF NOT ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
I ACCELERATED ONTO THE FREEWAY TO CATCH UP WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC ON MY 2007 GMC YUKON. WHEN I HIT TOP SPEED IN THE 3RD LANE NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF A MILE AT 65-70MPH, THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK MAKING MY VEHICLE TRAVEL AT 80-90MPH ON ITS OWN. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS STILL ACCELERATING. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND TOOK THE NEXT CLOSEST EXIT. I WAS BLOCKING THE EXIT WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND LUCKILY A FEW GOOD SAMARITANS HELP ME PUSH MY VEHICLE TO SAFETY. I USED ONSTAR TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THUS BEING A SUNDAY, ALL SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WERE CLOSED. MONDAY MORNING 8/20/07 I NOTIFIED THE DEALER ABOUT THE ACCIDENT AND IT WASN'T UNTIL 8/21/07 TUESDAY I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE COMPUTER AND AM VERY UPSET THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY MAIL OR BY PHONE CALL BY GMC. I AM VERY SHAKEN UP AND TRAUMATIZED ABOUT THE WHOLE ORDEAL AND VERY THANKFUL THAT THE WORST DIDN'T HAPPEN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
II HAVE HAD MY 2007 YUKON SINCE SEPT 2006. APPROX 3 WEEKS AGO I BEGAN TO HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE VEHICLE STARTED. WHEN TURNING THE KEY, IT HAD TO BE HELD FOR ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD FINALLY CRANK UP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY STILL THERE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD A VARIETY OF REASONS FOR THE WAY MY CAR STARTS THAT IT IS A NORMAL "EXTENDED START", THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS JUST PROGRAMMED THAT WAY. I KNOW THEY HAVE HEARD THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE SERVICE MANAGER STOOD BY ME WHILE I CRANKED THE VEHICLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE PROBLEM! IF THE CAR HAD A NORMAL "EXTENDED START" OR WAS PROGRAMMED TO STRAT LIKE THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING IT SINCE I PURCHASED THE VECHILE IN SEPT 06 ON NOT JUST STARTING TO HAVE THE PROBLEM NOW IN JUNE 07.
