2005 YUKON DENALI HEATED SEAT CAUGHT FIRE BUT DID NOT SMOKE IT BURNT INTO TEMPURPEDIC PILLOW IN A PLASTIC BAG UP TO 15 HOURS CAUSING ILLNESS AND A MONTH OF BEDREST AND FINANCIAL RUIN FOR A MOTHER OF 4 WHO STILL HAS A RENTAL AND UNABLE TO GO GET CAR THAT IS STILL NOT FIXED. WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO A FUNERAL IN NEWPORT BEACH CA FROM OR. GM WOULD NOT FIX MY CAR OR ALLOW IT TO BE SO UNTIL AN INVESTIGATION DUE TO IT BEING A THERMAL EVENT AND INSURANCE SAID NOT TO MOVE DUE TO SPOILATION. I CALLED SOUTH COAST WHO SAID THE INSURANCE WAS ONCE AGAIN OUT FOR PICTURES TODAY NOVEMBER 11TH AND THE INCIDENT HAPPENED OCTOBER 2ND. I AM AFRAID OF THE LONG TERM DAMAGE BREATHING TOXIC FUMES WILL HAVE ON MY 15 YEAR OLD. YOU HAVE NOTHING LISTED UNDER HEATED SEATS PLEASE FORWARD CASES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON MY 2005 GMC YUKON, AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR SO, DURING BRAKING, THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING/SLIPPING FEELING, THAT FELT LIKE IT CAME FROM THE FRONT END. AFTER GETTING THE BRAKES CHECKED OUT, I WAS TOLD THEY WERE FINE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER PLACE, AND THEY DUPLICATED THE SOUND AND CHANGED THE REAR BRAKES. DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN IT CAME BACK. STILL FEELS AND SOUNDS THE SAME. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP. THEY SAID THE FRONT BRAKES WERE FINE BUT I WANTED THEM CHANGED ANYWAY. SO THEY DID. NOISE STILL THERE. ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS ISSUE? THE NOISE AND FEEL OCCUR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP OR TURN FROM NORMAL TRAVEL SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY OR ROADWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY 2005 YUKON 4WD WENT OUT. IT STARTED AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SINCE IT WAS NOT CURRENTLY HAVING PROBLEMS THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. THIS TIME IT WAS OUT FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE I FINALLY TOOK IT IN. ALTHOUGH NOTHING EXTREME HAPPENED, SINCE I WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT IF SOMEONE WAS NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE THEY COULD POTENTIALLY LOSE CONTROL OF THERE VEHICLE SINCE THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS ALSO DISABLED IN THIS PROBLEM. REPLACED THE 4WD ACTUATOR TOTAL BILL 762.00 WAS ALSO TOLD IT COULD POTENTIALLY SHORT OUT THE BRAIN BOX FOR THE 4WD OPERATING SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLD, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE ALL SUMMER UNTIL NOW, WHEN THE WEATHER TURNED COLD. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 38,000 MILES THE FIRST TIME AND 52,000 THIS TIME. MY 1999 YUKON HAD 158,000 AND I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT. *TR

STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2007, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 YUKON SPEEDOMETER. IT WOULD EITHER START AT 60MPH, NOT GO HIGHER THAN 45MPH, AND LATELY IT JUST FAILED. IT'S NOT REGISTERING ANY SPEED. ON JULY 25, 2008, I WAS TOLD BY A GMC DEALERSHIP THAT MY CLUSTER HAS FAILED AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THESE THEY HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SUPPOSEDLY, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2003 AND 2005 MODELS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER. *TR
