2008 GMC YUKON Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. GM HAS NOT OFFERED A REMEDY TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THE AUGUST 2017 DEADLINE HAS PASSED AND GM HAS NOT PROVIDED OWNERS WITH A REMEDY IN A TIMELY MANNER.

CRACKED DASH BOARD...SEVERE CRACKING ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL/STEERING WHEEL AND SEVERE CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ISSUE HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED ONE TIME BEFORE AND THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE SAME CRACKS IN THE SAME PLACES.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 YRS AGO I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DODGE AND GMC ABOUT THE ISSUES INVOLVING THE CAR. IT HAS HESSITATED WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS AFTER BEING IN A STOP. IT HAS ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN ON A STOP LIGHT GONE ALL THE WAY TO 4. I HAD TO PUT IT ON PARK FOR IT TO STOP.THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON ME SEVERAL TIMES THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND THEN AFTER 2-3 DAYS TURNS OFF ALONG WITH THE ROAD HAZZARD LIGHT. WHEN I TAKE IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED THEY FIND NOTHING. I FINALLY GOT TIRED OF IT TOOK IT TO DODGE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSE PAID $150.1. THEY DID NOT OFFER A LOANER CAR 2. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR ALMOST 2 DAYS JUST FOR A DIAGNOSSIC TEST 3. THEY DID NOT HAVE A HYBRID SPECIALIST THERE NOR DID THEY SENT IT TO ONE. THEY DIDNT FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT JUST SUGGESTED TO DO TRANSMISSION CHANGE, CHANGE THE WIRES TO THE SPARK PLUGS AND CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS AFTER DOING ALL THAT. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I THEN TOOK IT TO GMC PAID ANOTHER $150 FOR THEM TO DO A DIAGNOSIS TEST. THEY ALSO DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT SEEN THAT IT HAD A EXTENDED WARRANTY OF THE THROTTLES AND SAID THAT COULD BE IT. AFTER CHANGING THAT THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. THE ONLY THING THAT THE GUY TOLD ME FROM ME EXPLAINING THE PROBLEMS IS IT COULD BE THE BRAKE SENSER. PAID &170.00. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED NOTHING HAS CHANGED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, THE CAR TURNING COMPLETELY OFF ON ME HESSITATING TO DRIVE AND ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN WHEN ON PARK IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE DONE MORE THAN MY PARK IN TAKING THE CAR TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT YET NO ONE CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT THE MACHINE SAYS NOTHING WHEN I WANT THE PROBLEM TO ACURE TO SHOW THEM WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IT DOES NOT DO IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. I PAID ALOT WITH NO RESULTS TO SHOW FOR IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND HAVE IT CHECKED.

JUST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THE RECALL ON THE GMC SILVERADOS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ON MY YUKON DENALI. I PURCHASED A CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2016. AND I'VE HAD AT LEAST EIGHT OR MORE INCIDENTS. OF THE CAR EITHER NOT STARTING OR SHUTTING OFF FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS AT ABOUT A 15 MILE AN HOUR TURN. I FEEL AS THOUGH MY VEHICLE COULD BE AFFECTED THE SAME WAY AS THESE ARE. I WOULD LIKE A REMEDY TO WHY MY CAR SHUTS OFF DURING A LOW-RPM TURN. WHEN THE CAR COMES BACK ON ALL GAUGE LIGHTS COME ON FOR A BRIEF SECOND. AND THE THERMOSTAT GOES UP A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THE FAN HAD SHUT OFF FOR A MINOR SECOND.

ENGINE FAILURE AT 64,000 MILES. DROVE VEHICLE FROM HOME AND THEN VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. TRUCK DRIVING FINE UP UNTIL THAT POINT. NO WARNING SIGNS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEFOREHAND. VEHICLE NOW AT GMC DEALERSHIP AND NEEDS NEW ENGINE FOR UP TO $10,000. GMC IS NOT COVERING THE EXPENSE. GAVE $2,000 TOWARDS THE REPAIR. VEHICLE PAST WARRANTY PERIOD. ENGINE SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 64,000 MILES. REGULARLY MAINTAINED.
