2008 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

3 OF THE DOOR ACTUATORS BROKE AND WEREN'T ABLE TO BE LOCKED USING THE KEYPAD OR THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AT 60,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVER SIDE POWER DOOR LOCKS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. HORN SOUNDS INDICATING DOOR IS LOCKED HOWEVER IT DOESN'T LOCK. ALSO REMOTE START DOES WORK LEAVING VEHICLE A TARGET FOR THEFT. ALSO THREE OF FOUR OF THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BROKE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD RESULTS IN CRAKING: THE DRIVER-SIDE CRACKS OCCUR TO THE LEFT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHILE THOSE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TAKE PLACE IN THE AREA SURROUNDING THE AIRBAG, CLOSER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. I CONCERN THAT A CRACKED DASH AT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT POINT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR POWER DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN WHEN USING THE AUTOMATIC KEY FOB. THE DOORS COULD ONLY BE OPENED MANUALLY. IN ADDITION, THE REAR LIFT GATE WOULD NOT RELEASE UNLESS MANUALLY OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WENT OUT; HAD REPLACED BY GM DEALERSHIP IN WILKESBORO, NORTH CAROLINA. APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR LATER, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED REQUIRING ONE TO MANUALLY ACTIVATE THE DOOR LOCK EACH TIME. WHEN NEEDING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE REGULAR DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE TO REACH THE DOOR LOCK LATCH TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. NOW. 2 WEEKS AGO, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR NO LONGER WORKS. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AS SMALL CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO MANIPULATE THE DOOR LATCH AND OPEN THE DOOR AT ANY TIME WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO; FOR SAFETY OF THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE; HAVING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY IS A TREMENDOUS FEAT "OPENING THE DOOR" FOR SOMEONE TO POTENTIALLY ROB, MUG, ETC. THIS PERSON WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FUMBLE WITH CLIMBING ALL OVER THE VEHICLE TO UNLOCK DOORS OR LOCK THEM MANUALLY. GMC MUST KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM AS REPORTED BY LOTS OF PEOPLE BUT HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL TO HAVE THESE PARTS REPLACED. AFTERMARKET DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL LEAVING ONE AT THE MERCY OF THE HIGH PRICED DEALERSHIPS TO CONTINUE TO GOUGE PATRONS WHO "HAVE NO CHOICE" BUT TO RELY ON THEIR INFLATED MEANS OF REPAIR. UNLESS ONE IS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND A WRECKED VEHICLE AT A SALVAGE YARD FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE STEPS UP AND DEMANDS THAT THESE PROBLEMS BE CORRECTED. I AM ONE OF THESE PEOPLE!!!! *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK OR OPEN WITH THE REMOTE OR FRONT DRIVE DOOR SWITCHES. TURNS OUT THAT THE LOCK ACTUATOR HAS GONE BAD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. MY SON IS 4 YEARS OLD AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE CAN NOT LOCK THE DOOR FROM THE FRONT - HE OPENED THE REAR DOOR WHILE CAR WAS DRIVING . LUCKILY HE WAS IN CAR SEAT. THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR PARENTS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE SAME REAR PASSENGER DOOR SIDE LOCK ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES. UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES FOR US. NEED TO HAVE GMC LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. ONLINE THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. POSES A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR PARENTS WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. PLEASE HAVE GMC RECALL AND INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE TRULY GETS HURT. *TR
