2005 GMC YUKON Complaints

The third row seat attachment from the seat to the frame has broken. It is a hook type mechanism that holds the entire row of seats to the latch in the floorboard. This car was not in an accident and the seats broke when the vehicle stopped. There should be a recall. Also the back seatbelt was on a recall for this vehicle but doesn't show up anymore. Please restore the recall. Thank you

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON, "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". IT PUTS ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION SOMETIMES BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY GO INTO THIS "LIMP MODE" I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND FIXES BY QUALIFIED MECHANICS AND YET THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT GO AWAY. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I FIND THAT I AMONG MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES YESTERDAY!

I HAVE A BRAKE PROBLEM, THE DYNAMIC ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEM TURNS ON AT TIMES DURING RUNNING AND THE RIM HEATS UP AND A STRONG SMELL OF BRAKES COMES OUT, ON TWO OCCASIONS THE REAR TIRES EXPLODED AND I CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW IN 2005, THE DEALER CHANGED THE BRAKES, ABS AND OTHER COMPONENTS, BUT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM, THEN IN 2010 AGAIN, I CHANGED ALL THE COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE BRAKES BUT IT REMAINS THE SAME. SOMETIMES THE DYNAMIC BRAKE IS ACTIVATED AND THE RINGS AND REAR RUBBERS ARE HEATED. I DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE FOR LONG ROADS FOR SAFETY. I BOUGHT IT IN 2005 AND IT NOW HAS 73,100 MILES. I AM LOOKING FOR IF ANY DEALER OR OWNER IN THE USA HAS OR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU..

WHEN DRIVING MY TRUCK THE TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON FREQUENTLY WHEN IN MOTION. SOMETIMES IT EVEN COMPLETELY DOESN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS EVEN WHEN GIVEN GAS THEN LURKS FORWARD, WHICH FRIGHTENS ME BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHICH COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS PRETTY COMMON, THIS IS ALARMING THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PUT INTO EFFECT! BESIDES THAT MY TRUCK RUNS BEAUTIFUL, WHAT CAN I DO? THIS IS AN ONGOING THING.
