2007 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

2007 GMC YUKON DENALI. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM AND ENGINE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO START. HOWEVER THE ENGINE STARTED TO SURGE AND HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. HE CRASHED INTO THE PROCEEDING VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER SPOKE TO TWO MECHANICS WHO INFORMED HIM, IT WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING. THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE TRIGGERING OF THE ABS BY DETERIORATION OF THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING. *JB

MY DRIVER'S SIDE ELECTRIC CONTROL PANEL STOPPED WORKING ABRUPTLY. ONE MORNING, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND TRIED TO OPEN THE WINDOW. I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN EITHER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW OR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW. ADDITIONALLY, I WAS UNABLE TO LOWER THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW AND THE POWER DOOR OPENER WAS NOT WORKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I CALLED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY EXAMINED THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT WATER GOT INTO THE CASING IN THE ELECTRICAL SWITCH CONTROL PANEL CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN SUVS AND ISUZU SUVS AND WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RE-CALL. HOWEVER, SINCE MY SUV IS A YUKON DENALI, IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE FIXED UNDER THE RE-CALL. THEY TOOK THE CONTROL PANEL APART AND SHOWED ME A SMALL WHITE PLUG INSIDE THE CONTROL PANEL THAT WAS BURNED, BROWN AND MELTED ON THE END. THEY DISCONNECTED THIS PLUG AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THE CAR WITH IT PLUGGED IN. I TOLD THEM THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD SIMPLY BECAUSE IT DID NOT OCCUR ON AN ISUZU OR A NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME THAT, IN FACT, THE YUKON DENALI IS SIMILAR TO THE RECALLED NISSAN MODELS BUT THEY CANNOT FIX THE ELECTRICAL SHORT UNLESS IT IS A SPECIFIC SUBJECT OF A RE-CALL. *TR

I TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE AND WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT MOVED ON A JUMPING MODE TO THE FRONT. I GOT SO SCARED. THE CAR MOVED FORWARD WE COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED ON AN ACCIDENT ON AN INTERSECTION OR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. AS THAT HAPPENED I NOTICED IN DASHBOARD THE RMP COUNTER WAS MOVING UP AS IF IT WAS WERE ACCELERATING. IT WAS PRETTY SCARY MY KIDS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO RIDE ON THE ONLY CAR WE OWN. I HAD A MECHANIC TELL ME I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. THAT IT SEEM TO HIM AS A THROTTLE SYSTEM FAILURE AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN I TURN VEHICLE ON IT HAPPENS TOO. *JS

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED. I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE ENGINE BEGINS TO RUN VERY HARD AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY AND CANNOT REACH FULL CAPACITY. THIS IS SOMEWHAT SCARY AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES, AS WELL AS JUST DRIVING AROUND MY RESIDENTIAL AREA, ALWAYS WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. USUALLY ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LEAVE IT FOR A LITTLE BIT, THEN RESTART IT, THE LIGHTS ARE OFF EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND THAT GMC SHOULD BE TAKING THIS SAFETY CONCERN VERY SERIOUSLY AS NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY IS DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE CHROME ONTHE DOOR HANDLE HAS PEALED AND CUT MY FINGERS SEVERAL TIMES. ITHOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ONTHIS BUT I CANT FIND IT. *TR
