2007 GMC YUKON Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE REAR HATCH LIGHT BEGAN ILLUMINATING. THIS CAUSED THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE, THE DOOR AJAR ALARM TO SOUND, AND DISABLED ALL OF THE BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE AND INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE ACCESSED MANUALLY. FIRST, THE COMPUTER CODES WERE RESET, BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS WIRING FAILURE AND REPLACED THE WIRING; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. FINALLY, THE ENTIRE HATCH WAS REPLACED AND THERE HAD BEEN NO FURTHER OCCURRENCES. ON NOVEMBER 6, 2007, THE STABLE TRACK WAS NOT DRIVING PROPERLY AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT MADE A CRUNCHING NOISE WHENEVER IT WAS MOVED. THE DEALER CLEARED THE ELECTRONIC CODES AGAIN AND DAMAGED THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. ON DECEMBER 26, 2007, THE HATCH AREA WAS LEAKING AND CREATED PUDDLES OF WATER IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SEAL WAS LEAKING AND IT WAS REPLACED AND APOXIED. THE VEHICLE HAS TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE SEAL HAS LOOSENED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,380 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 459.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES BECAME INOPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. IN ADDITION, THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING.

THIS NEW VEHICLE HAS SHIFTING PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL REVERSE WHEN YOU STOMP ON THE GAS. IT DOESN'T RESPOND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT IF YOU PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT GET THE ACCELERATION NEEDED TO AVOID IMPACT. THE TRANSMISSION GOES CRAZY. THE LOCAL GMC CERTIFIED REPAIR SERVICE TECH SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO TRY TO WORK ON THE SYSTEM. GMC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS. IT WILL ACTUALLY MISS AND LOOSE RPM'S WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IN MOUNTAIN TERRAINS. IT IS ONLY SOMEWHAT RELIABLE IN HIGHWAY TRAVEL THAT IS FLAT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED SOON IF NOT ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *JB

I ACCELERATED ONTO THE FREEWAY TO CATCH UP WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC ON MY 2007 GMC YUKON. WHEN I HIT TOP SPEED IN THE 3RD LANE NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF A MILE AT 65-70MPH, THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK MAKING MY VEHICLE TRAVEL AT 80-90MPH ON ITS OWN. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS STILL ACCELERATING. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND TOOK THE NEXT CLOSEST EXIT. I WAS BLOCKING THE EXIT WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND LUCKILY A FEW GOOD SAMARITANS HELP ME PUSH MY VEHICLE TO SAFETY. I USED ONSTAR TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THUS BEING A SUNDAY, ALL SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WERE CLOSED. MONDAY MORNING 8/20/07 I NOTIFIED THE DEALER ABOUT THE ACCIDENT AND IT WASN'T UNTIL 8/21/07 TUESDAY I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE COMPUTER AND AM VERY UPSET THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY MAIL OR BY PHONE CALL BY GMC. I AM VERY SHAKEN UP AND TRAUMATIZED ABOUT THE WHOLE ORDEAL AND VERY THANKFUL THAT THE WORST DIDN'T HAPPEN. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 YUKON AND THERE IS A VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I CHANGED THE TIRES AT THE DEALER 14 TIMES AND I ALSO CHANGED THE RIMS WITH NO RESULTS. THE DEALER SERVICED THE CAR BUT THE VIBRATION REMAINS. *TR

II HAVE HAD MY 2007 YUKON SINCE SEPT 2006. APPROX 3 WEEKS AGO I BEGAN TO HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE VEHICLE STARTED. WHEN TURNING THE KEY, IT HAD TO BE HELD FOR ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD FINALLY CRANK UP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY STILL THERE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD A VARIETY OF REASONS FOR THE WAY MY CAR STARTS THAT IT IS A NORMAL "EXTENDED START", THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS JUST PROGRAMMED THAT WAY. I KNOW THEY HAVE HEARD THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE SERVICE MANAGER STOOD BY ME WHILE I CRANKED THE VEHICLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE PROBLEM! IF THE CAR HAD A NORMAL "EXTENDED START" OR WAS PROGRAMMED TO STRAT LIKE THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING IT SINCE I PURCHASED THE VECHILE IN SEPT 06 ON NOT JUST STARTING TO HAVE THE PROBLEM NOW IN JUNE 07.

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT INTERMITTENTLY FAILED IN THE2007 GMC YUKON WITH 300 FAILURE MILEAGE.

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SEAT BELTS WERE WITHIN SAFETY STANDARDS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 500 . *AK
