2005 GMC YUKON Complaints

THE SECOND ROW SEATS WILL NOT FOLD DOWN FLAT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES EMITTED AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE THERE WERE NO VISIBLE LEAKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

YESTERDAY I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND TURNED ON THE A/C. THE A/C BLOWER WAS BLOWING AT THE HIGHEST SETTING REGARDLESS OF THE CONTROL SETTING. I TURNED THE A/C OFF AND THE BLOWER REMAINED ON. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THE BLOWER CONTINUED TO RUN. THE BLOWER CONTINUED TO RUN FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 MINUTES WHILE MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED ONLINE HOW TO GET IT TO STOP. THE BLOWER DID NOT STOP RUNNING UNTIL MY HUSBAND REMOVED THE FUSE. IF MY HUSBAND WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WITH ME THE BLOWER WOULD HAVE CONTINUOUSLY RAN, CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT, AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A FIRE. ALSO, WE HAVE DIGITAL GEAR LIGHTS ON OUR DASH. THOSE LIGHTS STARTED PERIODICALLY DIMMING SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND HAVE SINCE GONE OUT COMPLETELY, OTHER THAN THE SELDOM RANDOM OCCASION, SO WE CAN NO LONGER READ WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND ASKED WHAT THE CAUSE WAS AND HOW TO REPAIR IT. WE WERE TOLD THE COMPLETE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL CLUSTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $350 FOR THE PANEL ALONE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH OF MY OWN, I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. NOT KNOWING WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED BY GM. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. IT IS USUALLY SAYING EMPTY WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. WHEN I PUT GAS IN THE GAUGE WILL DISPLAY THE PROPER AMOUNT. WITHIN MINUTES IT WILL SAY EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

BRAKE LINES FAILED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE STOPPED JUST SHORT OF COLLIDING WITH OTHER VEHICLES IN THE LOT. ALL LINES INCLUDING TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES AND LINES FROM CALIPERS TO BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION. UPDATED 4/24/2015 *JS

BASICALLY MY LIFT GATE AND GLASS ARE STUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION AND THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN THE LIFT GATE. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND GMC SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THE LOCK ACTUATOR TO REPLACE THEM ALL WITH A REPLACEMENT PART TO ENSURE NO ONE GETS STUCK INSIDE THERE VEHICLE. THIS PART ALONG WITH INSTALLATION CAN RUN YOU UP TO $1K SO I CAN SEE PEOPLE IGNORING THIS PROBLEM UNTIL IT BECOMES A PUBLIC CONCERN. I WISH GMC WOULD FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. *TR

WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND DID A SHARP LEFT WITH THE STEERING AND BRAKING WAS LOW. *JS

AT THE INITIAL START UP AND THE FOLLOW ON DRIVE SELECTION OF THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVE SELECTOR INDICATOR ON THE (SPEEDO) SPEED CLUSTER FAILS TO LIGHT UP TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE EXACT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN. DURING LOW LIGHT TIMES THE INDICATION IS BARELY VISIBLE AND DAY LIGHT HOURS YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE THE INDICATION TO ENSURE THE PROPER GEAR OF VEHICLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN SELECTING WRONG GEAR. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

MY 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI REAR TAILGATE / HATCH IS LOCKED AND THE ELECTRONIC LOCK MOTIVATOR WILL NOT OPEN THE REAR TAILGATE / HATCH. THERE IS NO KEY NOR MANUAL WAY TO OPEN REAR TAILGATE / HATCH. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT IT WOULD COST TO FIX ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE NO MORE THAN $450.00. SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS THREE ROWS OF SEATS THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN THIS REAR TAILGATE / HATCH FOR THE PASSENGERS IN THE THIRD ROW OF SEATS TO GET OUT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED AN ALTERNATE WAY TO OPEN THIS HATCH FOR EMERGENCY'S. WHETHER IT WOULD BE A KEY FROM THE OUTSIDE OR A DOOR HANDLE ON THE INSIDE. WE FEEL THAT TYPE OF VEHICLE SHOULD BE REVIEWED AND IT SHOULD INCLUDE VARIOUS YEARS OF THIS GMC VEHICLE, THE CHEVROLET TAHOE, AND THE CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WHICH HAVE THE SAME SETUP FOR THIS SAFETY REASON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND REVIEW OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
