2007 GMC YUKON Complaints

DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS INSTALLED BY GM CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD. CRACKS OCCURRED ON DRIVERS SIDE (HUMP ABOVE STEERING WHEEL) AND CRACKS IN DASH ON BOTH SIDES OF AIRBAG. IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS CRACKED PIECES OF DASH COULD CAUSE HARM TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE. GM IS AWARE OF THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM/DEFECT AND IT IS VERY WIDESPREAD WITH THOUSANDS OR MORE GM CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE YET GM REFUSES TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DASH FOR CUSTOMERS WHICH IS ULTIMATELY PUTTING GM CUSTOMERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS IN DANGER. *TR

WHEN VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN EXHAUST LEAK IN EXHAUST MANIFOLD. DEALERSHIP FOUND A BROKEN BOLT ON LEFT SIDE AND REPLACED IT. I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT I NOW AS OF 01/30/2012 WITH 62,760 MILES I HAVE ANOTHER BOLT BROKEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET IT IS OBVIOUS THAT GM HAS A DESIGN FAULT IN USING LOWER GRADE BOLT WHICH ARE BREAKING IN LARGE NUMBERS. I IMPLORE THE NTSA TO REQUIRE GM TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE BOLTS EITHER BY RECALL OR AS INCIDENT OCCURS AT NO COST TO CAR OWNERS. I AM TOLD THAT THE EXHAUST LEAK CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND OTHER ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEMS WHICH CAN RESULT IN SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

STABILITRACK AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES AND SIGNALS ON DASHBOARD TO GET SERVICED. WHEN STABILITRACK IS OFF TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGHLY AND CAR LURCHES FORWARD. DATE OF OCCURRENCE IS APPROX BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE CAR COMPLETED SHUT ME DOWN TO 50 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITY TRACK, STABILITY TRACK OFF. I TOOK TO THE DEALER AND HAD OVER $1100.00 WORTH OF WORK DONE INCLUDING THE THROTTLE BODY. HERE WE ARE 5 MONTHS LATER AND I AM ON THE EXPRESSWAY CAR SHUTS DOWN AGAIN AND THE SAME WARNING SIGNALS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION BARELY MAKE IT 1000 MILES ON A NEW OIL CHANGE WHEN THE CHECK OIL LIGHT COMES ON, WHEN YOU CHECK THE OIL THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY OIL ON THE STICK. *TR

I HAVE CONSULTED WITH MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AS WELL. GENERAL MOTORS FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE'S A QUALITY CONCERN OR THAT THERE'S A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN WITH THESE VEHICLES. THIS NOT ONLY AFFECTS GMC YUKONS, BUT CHEVROLET TAHOES AND SUBURBANS AS WELL. THE DASH BOARD IS MADE OF HARD BUT BRITTLE PLASTIC. THE DASH BOARDS TEND TO CRACK OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OPENING, LEAVING SHARP "DAGGER LIKE" PIECES OF DASH BOARD MATERIAL LOOSE. IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THERE'S A RISK OF THESE PIECES BEING PROPELLED BY THE AIR BAG AND INJURING OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. I'VE HEARD OF THIS AFFECTING VEHICLES FROM AS LITTLE AS 1 YEAR OLD. GENERAL MOTORS HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND HAS BLATANTLY STATED THAT IF IT WERE A SAFETY PROBLEM, "THE GOVERNMENT WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT". ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

VEHICLE WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND CRASHED INTO FENCE. VEHICLE GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AFTER 22 REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES PER HOUR WITH CHILDREN IN CAR THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED FROM THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND AT THIS POINT IT IS UNABLE TO BE SOLVED PERMANENTLY TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER. IT DOES IT WHENEVER AND WHEREVER WITHOUT KNOWING. GOES FROM HIGH RATE OF SPEED TO ZERO. ALMOST HAD A SEMI SLAM INTO MYSELF ON THE INTERSTATE. I COULD NOT PULL OVER. HAVE HAD EVERY PART REPLACED AND DEALERSHIP IS AT A LOSS. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DUE TO INABILITY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE CHROME IS PEELING OFF AND MY WIFE SLICED HER FINGER ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS I HAD ALSO CUT MY HAND ON MY 2007 AVALANCHE. ANOTHER ISSUE ON MY YUKON IS THAT THE DASH HAS CRACKED FOR UNKNOWN REASON AROUND MY AIRBAG WHICH COULD PROPOSE A SERIOUS ISSUE SINCE IT SURROUNDS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ALSO SIMILAR TO A 07 AVALANCHE I HAVE OWNED. IF YOU GOOGLE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND THE VEHICLE WARNING BELL RUNG. ON THE VEHICLE HEADS UP DISPLAY READ. TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITY CONTROL AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATLY STARTED SHUTTING DOWN WITH NO POWER. THIS CAUSED A NEAR MISS FROM BEHIND FROM A TRACTOR TRAILER VEHICLE. *TR

BF GOODRICH LONG TRAIL T/A TOUR TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. EXPERIENCED BAD REACTION OF WHEELS SHAKING ON I-80 GOING 70 MPH AND EXCESSIVE ROAD NOISE AT JUST 20K MILES OF USE. MIDDLE OF TIRES FLATTENED OUT AND READ HORROR STORIES ON WEB SITES OF TIRES SEPARATING SO I WANTED TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO GET TIRES RECALLED ASAP AND GIVE PEOPLE THEIR MONEY BACK FOR THE JUNK TIRES! *TR
