2008 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

I WENT TO OPEN MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR TO GET INTO MY CAR AND THE DOOR HANDLE JUST RIPPED OFF. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I'M NOT A STRONG WOMAN AND I DID NOTHING DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER DAY. NOW I HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND OPEN MY DOOR TILL I CAN GET IT FIXED. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I HAD MY BACK DOOR HANDLE COME LOOSE. IT DID NOT RIP OFF, BUT IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. I HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. ONE LITTLE THING AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR. MA 10/2 UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN OVER TIRES LOSING AIR PRESSURE DUE TO LEAKS CAUSED AT TIRE/WHEEL INTERFACE. ROOT CAUSE IS THAT CHROME PLATING ON ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE PEELING, RESULTING IN CORROSION OF THE ALUMINUM SUBSTRATE CAUSING INABILITY TO ACHIEVE PROPER SEALING BETWEEN THE TIRE AND THE RIM. IT IS KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY THAT CHROME PLATING ON ALUMINUM HAS A LIMITED LIFE EXPECTANCY (APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS) BEFORE PEELING OF THE CHROME OCCURS...MORE ROBUST COATING METHODS ARE AVAILABLE, SUCH AS PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (PVD). ..

I HAVE A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI IN WHICH THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN APPROXIMATELY 4 PLACES. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I EVER GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY. IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS I THINK THIS DASH BOARD WILL ALSO HURT SOMEONE.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI IN JANUARY OF 2008 .THIS CAR HAS 60000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT .I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES ON THE TRUCK DUE TO A CONSTANT LOSE OF AIR IN THE TIRES TO FIND OUT AFTER REPLACING THE TIRES THAT THE LOSE OF AIR IS DUE TO THE AIR LEAKING THRU THE RIMS .I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE BUT IN ALL OF MY 30 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE RIMS GOING BAD ON A CAR. AS I SEE IT THE RIMS ARE LIKE THE FOUNDATION OF A HOUSE AND SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK . YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE SUCH AN ITEM ,ALSO AFTER LOOKING ON LINE AND CONTACTING THE DEALER IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL GM TRUCKS MADE BETWEEN 2006-2010.ALSO AS A RESULT OF THE AIR LEAKING OUT AS THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY WIFE SHE MADE A TURN AND AS SHE WAS TURNING THE TIRE GAVE OUT DUE TO A LOSE IN PRESSURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER A REGULAR INSPECTION BY THE DEALER, THE TECHNICIAN NOTIFIED THE CONTACT THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS RUSTING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THIS IS TWICE THAT I'VE RECEIVED THE P2138 THROTTLE BODY SENSOR CODE, WHICH CAUSES REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND HAS SUBSEQUENT ISSUES AROUND STABILITRACK/AWD. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WE LIMPED OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AT 3 MPH. TODAY, MY WIFE LIMPED HOME FROM THE STORE. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO!! *TR

WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, WAS LOADING THE VEHICLE WITH GROCERIES AND COULD NOT GET THE BACK LEFT DOOR CLOSED, WAS VERY UNSAFE COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT, NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING, VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, WAS TOLD THE RUBBER WAS DEFECTIVE AROUND BOTH DOORS AND THE LATCHES WERE RUSTED WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE DOOR FLEW OFF AND HIT SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY? WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE? I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN ON A SAFETY RECALL, NOW OF COURSE, THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKED AT LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG. ALSO ON LEFT CORNER OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 35 MPH AND SUDDENLY CRACKS STARTED FORMING AROUND THE AIRBAG AS WELL AS AROUND THE STEERING COLUMN. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OCCUPANTS IF AIRBAGS DEPLOY. *TR

DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY. VEHICLE GAUGES BEGIN TO ACT ERRATICALLY, VEHICLE HEAVES AND LURCHES, THEN 100% POWER FAILURE. NOTHING WORKED, EVEN HAZZARD LIGHTS. AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF. WAS ABLE TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL, HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN DOOR LOCKS. AFTER 10-15 MINUTES, THE POWER CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME. HAPPENED AGAIN ON 3/23/14. AGAIN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ELECTRIC COMPONENTS (RADIO, GAUGES, POWER CORD ACCESSORIES) BEGIN ACTING ERRATICALLY AND THEN 100% COMPLETE POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THE GM DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE OR FIND THE PROBLEM. I FEEL 100% UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS. *TR
