2007 GMC YUKON Complaints

THE DASH CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES INCLUDING AROUND THE AIRBAG, OVER THE STEERING WHEEL, AROUND THE VENT AND MULTIPLE OTHER AREAS. I HAD THIS REPAIRED BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY. THE REPAIR COST $385.

THE DASH IS CRACKED NEAR THE AIRBAG AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR.

WHILE DRIVING HEARD A SNAPPING SOUND THAT CAME FROM THE WINDSHIELD AREA, AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS ROAD DEBRIS THAT HIT THE WINDSHIELD BUT THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. UPON RETURNING HOME I DID A MORE THROUGH INSPECTION TO FIND A DASH BOARD CRACK OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT UP UNTIL JULY OF LAST YEAR (2014). I EXPERIENCED MY CAR JERKING ERRATICALLY AND HAD TO PULL OVER. THE CAR LOST SPEED AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC WHO THEN SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE JERKING STARTED AGAIN ON AND OFF, NO LOSS OF SPEED AND IT WOULD ONLY JERK GOING FORM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND. I HAVE NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD ONLY JERK EVERY SO OFTEN. NOW MY TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILIZER SERVICE WARNING MESSAGE POPS UP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL PLACES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY, ABS MODULE AND BOTH ARE NOT CHEAP TO FIX THEY ALL WANT TO CHARGE ME $500- $1200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I BEGAN RESEARCHING AND SEE THAT THE ISSUE I AM HAVING MAY BE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC BEFORE I START PAYING FOR MORE COSTLY REPAIRS. IF FOR SOME REASON THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS.

I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH JUST ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GROWN INTO THE ENTIRE DASH BEING CRACKED WITH DIFFERENT CRACKS GOING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT AFFECT THE AIRBAGS CAUSING THEM TO ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOY. I'VE CALLED GMC AND THEY HAVE NO COMPLAINT BULLETINS ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE CALLED A GMC SERVICE DEALER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT FOR THIS WOULD COST ME IN EXCESS OF $900.

THIS IS ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED THE SAME WEEK AS MY LAST COMPLAINT. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM LUNCH I SLOWED THE VEHICLE AS I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL, THIS DID NOT REQUIRE ANY USE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPON SLOWING DOWN MY VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES: "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "SERVICE STABILITRACK", "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". THE SUV WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 15MPH REQUIRING MY TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I STARED THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE SUV STARTED RIGHT UP BUT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT REMAINED ON UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. ENGINE CODES LEAD TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY POSITION SENSOR WHICH WAS REPLACED AFTER THE INCIDENT ON 7/13. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE GMC DEALER TODAY WHO INFORMED ME OF THE SAME PROBLEM YET AGAIN. THESE ARE EITHER BAD PARTS OR A SOME BIGGER GM ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE I APPROACHED SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. UPON SLOWING DOWN MY VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES: "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "SERVICE STABILITRACK", "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". THE SUV WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 15MPH REQUIRING MY TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I STARED THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE SUV STARTED RIGHT UP BUT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT REMAINED ON. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE ON A BUSY STRETCH OF HWY 88 OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO. I HOPE OTHERS DO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE.

DURING NORMAL USE ON OPENING THE REAR LIFT DOOR OPEN AND 1/3 OF THE WAY, IT STOPPED AND SLAMMED VERY HARD THAT THE WINDOW ABOVE LATCH RELEASED AND POPPED OPEN. I'VE CHECKED ALL THE SECURITY SETTING BUT TO DATE, THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN PASS 1/3 OF THE WAY. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO FINGERS ANYWHERE AROUND THE DOOR. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF ONE IS NOT EXPECTING THE DOOR WILL SLAM SHUT.
