2007 GMC YUKON Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE SHOP. THE MECHANIC STATED THE ELECTROLYSIS INSIDE OF THE WHEEL CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TIRE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE ALSO BLEW OUT AND WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THIS WAS KNOWN PROBLEM BUT DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT HAD THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL RECONDITIONED. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR AGAIN BECAUSE THE WHEEL WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE PLASTIC DASH CAP WHICH COVERS THE ELECTRICAL, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HOLDS THE AIRBAG IS CRACKED. CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE CRACK APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES LONG WHICH IS LOCATED OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HUMP. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE DASH CAP WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE NEW CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AS OTHER YUKON OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE CRACKED BRITTLE DASH PAD COULD SHATTER AND IMPACT AND INJURE SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

LAST FALL, 2010, I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR CHROME DOOR HANDLES WERE CHIPPING. THEY CHIPS WERE VERY SHARP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD EXCEPT REPLACE THEM AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS CUT YESTERDAY, 10/1/2011 ON MY HANDLE. THIS IS THE NHTSA PE09044. *TR

SHARP CRACKS APPEARING IN DASH NEXT TO PASSENGER AIR BAG AND LEFT REAR TOP OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD DOING 65 MPH. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGE APPEARED THAT STATED "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" "SERVICE STABLITRAK" "TRACTION CONTROL OFF". THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO GO OVER 20 MPH THE REST OF MY TRIP HOME. I WENT FROM 65 MPH TO 20 MPH IN SECONDS, ON THE INTERSTATE FULL OF TRAFFIC. WHEN I GOT HOME I THEN NOTICED A "HOT" SMELL. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC. *TR

I OWN A 2007 GMC YUKON AND THE DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO SEPARATE PLACES AND NOW FELL IN ON ONE SIDE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WASN'T A RECALL ITEM, HOWEVER WHEN I RESEARCH THIS ON THE INTERNET I FOUND A NUMBER OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2007 YUKON GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER ON A REGULAR BASIS. AS A RESULT, THERE WAS A CRASH ON ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT. ON A DAILY BASIS, IT CONTINUES TO AND THE ENGINE CUTS OUT AS A RESULT AS WELL, NO RHYME OR REASON. ON THE INTERSTATE, GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR THE VEHICLE CUT OFF, WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND MYSELF AND MY FAMILY WERE JUST SECONDS SHORT FROM LOSING OUR LIVES. THIS HAS ALL BEEN REPORTED TO GM AND WE'VE GOTTEN NO RESOLUTION. MOTHERBOARDS, GAS PEDALS, GAS CAPS, WIRES, EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF HAS BEEN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE AND IT STILL GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER PUTTING MY FAMILIES LIVES AT RISK. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *KB

"REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH. MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY DROPPED DOWN TO 35 MPH AND NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 YUKON ABOUT A YEAR AGO, IN THAT TIME THE STABILITRAK LIGHT/CHECK ENGINE/TRACTION CONTROL HAS COME ON 2 TIMES NOW. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON IT TELLS ME IT IS TURNING THE STABILITRAK OFF AND BEEPS AT ME. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT IS FINE TO DRIVE TO BRING IT IN LATER AND HE WILL HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. THE LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL I ARRIVE AT MY DESTINATION, I TURN THE CAR OFF LET IT SIT AND COME BACK LATER AND IT IS OFF WHEN I RESTART IT. I HAVE HAD THE MECHANIC HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER TWO TIMES NOW AND NOTHING SHOWS IN THE HISTORY. HE HAS CALLED AROUND TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED BEFORE OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP. *TR

THE INTERIOR CHROME HANDLES ARE PEELING, I HAVE CUT MY FINGERS WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE. I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN TO MY YOUNG CHILDREN AND REQUIRE A TRIP TO THE DOCTORS. *TR
