2005 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

I HAVE A SNAPPED OFF PARKING BRAKE COMPONENT BENEATH MY DASH RENDERING THE PARKING BRAKE INOPERATIVE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID CLASSIC CHEVROLET TO FIX THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE TWO YEARS AGO AND IT HAS JUST SNAPPED AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY UNDER THE DASH USING ALL NEW CORRECT PARTS. *TR

IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE SNAPPED OFF FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND IT WAS ONLY BEING HELD ON BY 2 OF THE ORIGINAL BOLTS. THIS COULD HAVE FULLY BROKEN OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND JAMMED INTO MY STEERING SHAFT! AFTER A VERY SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH ABOUT GM 6.0 ENGINE EXHAUST BOLTS SNAPPING OFF, I DISCOVERED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF ENGINES OF THE 4.8, 5.3, AND 6.0 SIZE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONS. HAPPENED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, WORKED OKAY, THEN HAPPENED AGAIN. STICKS ON 60 MPH WHEN GOING 0MPH. SHOWS 120 MPH WHEN GOING 50 MPH. MECHANIC QUOTE TO REPLACE IS $640. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH HE SMELLED A VERY STRONG FUEL ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PERSONAL MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND WAS LEAKING GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 55,000. UPDATED 09/21/12*LJ THE FUEL PUMP OUTLET METAL PIPE RUSTED THROUGH AND GAS LEAKED OUT. UPDATED 09/26/12

THE VEHICLE DISPLAY INDICATES "SERVICE STABILITY" AND THE VEHICLES ABS SYSTEM BEGINS TO GRAB INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE AND LOSE SPEED DRASTICALLY. ONCE PULLED OFF THE ROAD IF THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND ALLOWED TO SIT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTED IT WILL OPERATE PROPERLY AGAIN. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY ONCE IN JUNE, TWICE IN JULY, AND SEVERAL TIMES NOW IN AUGUST. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS FLUKE ISSUE THAT COULD BE EXPLAINED BY WEATHER AS WE HAD EXCEPTIONALLY HOT SUMMER THUS FAR. HOWEVER IT IS TO THE POINT NOW WHERE I HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO A REPAIR SHOP TO AVOID HAVING MY WIFE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR INDICATOR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE AS TO WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE WAS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 7/16/12 *CN UPDATED 07/18/12

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY. FOR WEEKS, IT WOULD GET STUCK AT CERTAIN SPEEDS, THEN BEGIN WORKING AGAIN. AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS, IT STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. LATER, OTHER GAUGES SUCH AS OIL PRESSURE AND WATER TEMPERATURE ALSO STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THE SPEEDOMETER IS A BASIC SAFETY NECESSITY, AND I WOULD NOT EXPECT TO HAVE TO REPAIR IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INOPERABLE AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW FAST OR SLOW SHE WAS TRAVELING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD ACCRUED MORE THAN 85,000 MILES. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED WHAT THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,700 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,600.

THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE CAR AS WELL AS ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO PULLED ME OVER TO TELL ME MY TRUCK WAS POURING GAS. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, HE INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL PUMPED ASSEMBLY HAD ROTTED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. HE STATED THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE ROTTED LIKE THIS. THANKFULLY THIS WAS FOUND BEFORE ANYTHING CATASTROPHIC HAD HAPPENED AS I CONSTANTLY DRIVING AROUND WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE KEPT THE OLD PART TO SHOW HOW IT HAD ROTTED. I HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY RECALL FOR THIS BUT BEING THAT THIS SITUATION WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS I FEEL IT WARRANTS LOOKING INTO. THIS WAS ALSO AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND CONSIDERING IT SHOULD NOT HAVE ROTTED LIKE THIS, I FEEL I SHOULD RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS A HUGE HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES SERIOUS ATTENTION. *TR

I AM ONE OF THE MANY REPORTING BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ON MY TRUCK. I HAD 3 STUDS RATTLE OUT, 2 BREAK OFF INSIDE HEAD GASKET AND ONLY 1 REMAIN IN TACT. TRUCK IS IN GREAT CONDITION OTHERWISE AND HAS HAD EXCELLENT SERVICE RECORD. ONLY PROBLEM NOW IT IS COSTING ME $2500 TO PULL ENGINE AND SEND IT TO A MACHINE SHOP TO HAVE THE FINAL STUD REMOVED FROM HEAD WITH ONLY 170000 KM'S ON IT THIS IS LUDICROUS. I AM A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL AS IT HAPPENS TO ALMOST ALL OF THESE TRUCKS BETWEEN 09 AND 2007. AND IT IS A FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS BAD FOR EMISSIONS HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0YG6WLBNZGI&FEATURE=EMAIL&EMAIL=COMMENT_REPLY_RECEIVED
