2007 GMC YUKON Complaints

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN AUG 2013. HAD TO BRING BACK TO DEALER BECAUSE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NO GOOD. HAD MY MECHANIC CHECK OUT REST OF CAR AND HE FOUND EXCESSIVE RUSTING ON FRAME ESPECIALLY WHERE REAR TIRE IS MOUNTED. *JB

I HEARD MANY HORROR STORIES OF THESE TRUCKS AND HOW THEY TEND TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS. ONE BEING THE CRACKING DASHES ON THIS BODY STYLE VEHICLE. WELL AFTER MUCH THOUGHT INTO THE MATTER I CHOSE TO PURCHASE A TAHOE / YUKON. I SEARCHED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS GOING TO MANY DEALERSHIPS AND LOOKING AT MANY USED TRUCKS HUNTING FOR ONE WITHOUT AN EXISTING CRACKED DASH. EVERY SINGLE TAHOE / YUKON I LOOKED AT ON THE LOTS HAD CRACKED DASHES UNTIL I FOUND MY TRUCK THAT I PURCHASED WITHOUT A CRACKED DASH. I HOPPED ON IT AND BOUGHT IT THAT DAY. WITHIN 6 MONTHS MY DASH HAD THE NOTORIOUS AIR BAG CRACK THAT ALL THESE TRUCK GET I WENT TO A DEALER WHEN IT HAPPENED AND WAS TURNED AWAY BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE FOR FULL PRICE. AFTER LEAVING VERY ANGRY I DEALT WITH THE ISSUE. A YEAR OR SO LATER MY DASH HAS CRACKED BEHIND THE GUAGE BEZEL. THIS TRUCK IS BARELY DRIVEN AND SITS UNDER COVER NOT IN DIRECT LIGHT WITH ONLY 58,000 MILES AND IS FALLING APART. CHEVY HAS COMPLETELY TURNED THEIR BACK ON THESE PROBLEMS AND IT IS AN OCCURRENCE IN 99% OF THESE VEHICLES. THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO IGNORE THE ISSUE AND SEND CUSTOMERS TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES AND IT ISN'T AN ISSUE THAT WE HAVE CAUSED. IT'S A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. YOU CAN GOOGLE 2007+ TAHOE YUKON DASH CRACK AND GET FLOODED WITH THOUSANDS OF ARTICLES AND PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND CHEVY HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. THERE IS FACEBOOK PAGES SETUP FOR THIS ISSUE ALSO THAT'S HOW BIG OF AN ISSUE IT IS. I AM TRYING TO GET THESE ISSUES FIXED FOR THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND WE CAN'T GET ANY HELP. IF YOU LOOK INTO THIS I PROMISE YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US AS WE FEEL THAT OUR SAFETY IS NOT IN GMS BEST INTEREST. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STABILITY TRACK, TRACTION CONTROL AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE CONTACT HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SIX DIFFERENT TIMES. THE TECHNICIANS RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000. *TT

REAR HATCH/LIFT GATE HAS NO MANUAL HANDLE TO OPEN. WHEN UNLOCKING POWER LOCKS REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN, THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN LIFT GATE FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. IF AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAPPEN THERE WOULD BE NO WAY OUT OF REAR OF VEHICLE. REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL, IT IS ALL ELECTRONIC AND WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL GM SUV'S. HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO ABOUT ISSUE. *TR

DASH BOARD CRACK AT AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. DEALER AGREED TO FIX DUE TO SAFETY CONCERN IF AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. DEALER SAID GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT EVERY 2007-10 GMC TRUCK AND SUV DASH WILL CRACK DUE TO DEFECTIVE INFERIOR PART. DEALER CHARGE TO ME WAS $100. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. ACCORDING TO THE HUNDREDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS ON THIS GM DASH CRACK ISSUE I WAS LUCKY TO ONLY PAY $100, MANY OTHERS WERE NOT SO FORTUNATE AND STILL HAVE THESE DANGEROUS PARTS IN THEIR CARS. THE REPLACEMENT DASH IS THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART AS THE ORIGINAL, THE DEALER TOLD ME TO EXPECT IT TO CRACK AGAIN IN ABOUT TWO OR THREE YEARS. *TR

I HAD STOPPED AT A 4 STOP INTERSECTION. I TOOK OFF AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN JERK, LIKE I HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE HIT ME. THE CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE REVVED WITHOUT ACCELERATION. I PUT CAR THE IN PARK AND BACK IN DRIVE, CAR DID NOT MOVE. I PUT IT IN REVERSE, HAD NO PROBLEM GOING BACK BUT WAS IN TRAFFIC AND CLOSE TO AN INTERSECTION SO IT WAS UNSAFE TO GO BACK. CALLED "AAA" FOR TOW. COPS CAME; THEY HAD ME PUT CAR IN 1ST GEAR. CAR WAS FINE IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. DROVE CAR TO PARKING LOT. COP STATED THAT I HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. HAD CAR TOWED TO GMC DEALERSHIP. NEXT MORNING (MAY 7), DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS A BROKEN FORWARD SPRAG BUT THEY NEEDED TO GO DEEPER TO SEE IF THERE WAS MORE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION. ASKED HOW MUCH, HE SAID MAYBE 2000 TO 4000. I CALLED GMC HOME OFFICE AND SPOKE WITH A REP. LET HER KNOW THAT MY CAR WAS ONLY 6 YRS OLD WITH LOW MILEAGE AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SHE CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING THAT I WAS TOLD. AT THIS POINT I DIDN'T TRUST TO DEAL WITH GMC SO I DECIDED TO REMOVE MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. RECEIVED A CALL FROM DEALERSHIP 2 HOURS LATER STATING THAT THEY HAD AUTHORIZATION FROM GMC HOME OFFICE TO OFFER ME ASSISTANCE OF 40% OFF THE TOTAL PRICE. THEY SAID THAT IT MAY BE BETWEEN 1500 TO 3000. I HAD MY HUSBAND CALL AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT IF THERE WAS NOT EXTENSIVE DAMAGE FROM THE "BROKEN FORWARD SPRAG" IT MIGHT BE CHEAPER. RECEIVED CALL FROM DEALERSHIP ON MAY 8, NO EXTENSIVE DAMAGE, ONLY REPLACING THE "FORWARD SPRAG". I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE ASSISTANCE OF 40% BUT I'M STILL UPSET THAT I HAVE TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR. IT'S NOT THAT OLD AND I BARELY DRIVE IT. I'VE CHECKED THE WEB AND HAVE NOTICED OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THIS AGENCY AND MAYBE IT CAN BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, CONCERNED THAT IT MAY CAUSE AIRBAG TO MALFUNCTION. *TR

STABILITRACK LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR GOES TO IDLE AND HAS NO POWER TO ACCELERATE, ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. ONCE PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, SHUT ENGINE DOWN AND WAITED 15 MINS TO RESTART. STABILITY TRACK LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND CAR ACCELERATES NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS AN EXTREME HAZARD! I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND DEALER HAS NO RESOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY JUST CHARGE CONSUMERS FOR PARTS THAT ARE NOT REALLY RESOLVING THE ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ALL DRIVERS AND WILL CAUSE A FATALITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!! *TR

3 MONTHS AFTER BUYING VEHICLE IN SEPT OF 2011. CHROME DOOR HANDLES ON PASSENGER SIDE ARE PEELING AND CRACKING AND SLICING FINGERS OPEN WHEN TRYING TO OPEN DOOR. ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, DASHBOARD BEGINNING TO CRACK AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA. *TR

DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD: THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS ALSO CRACKED BEHIND THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS WORKING WITH [XXX] SERVICE ADVISOR AT FREEWAY CHEVROLET IN CHANDLER, AZ.. HE ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND MANY OF THESE DASHBOARDS COME IN CRACKED REGULARLY. THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ANY REPLACEMENT ASSISTANCE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND GETS CAUGHT ON THE CRACKED DASHBOARD.
