2007 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

MY 2007 YUKON DENALI DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT DUE TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER YUKONS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS, BUT THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIR BAGS WERE TO DEPLOY, THERE MIGHT BE SHARP PIECES OF FLYING PLASTIC DEBRIS ORIGINATING FROM THE CRACKED AREAS. YES, THE CRACKS ARE ANNOYING, BUT I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER OR ANY PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE STRUCTURAL INSTABILITY OF THE DASH. *TR

MY SUV WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW HAS A COUPLE OF CRACKS IN THE DASH BOARD NEXT TO THE AIRBAG SECTION. MY CONCERN IS IF THERE WOULD BE A ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED COULD CAUSE THE PLASTIC PIECES OF THE DASH TO BREAK OFF AND BECOME AIRBORNE AND INJURE ME OR A PASSENGER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD PUT OUT A WARNING ABOUT THIS AND REPLACE THE DASH OF EVERY VEHICLE AFFECTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE SUSPENSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE SHOCKS WERE LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

IT BEGAN W/A HARSH SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD. IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON& IT BEGAN SHIFTING SO HARSH IT WOULD JERK YOU. WENT TO MY GM DEALER & THE CODE WAS FOR A THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS & ALSO FOUND A CRACKED MOTOR MOUNT. THEY ADVISED THE CRACK WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING SO HARSH, ALSO THE SHIFTING PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE SENSOR MALFUNCTION AND THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION FROM THE THROTTLE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THEY REPLACED THE MOUNT & SENSORS. CHARGED ME $700. LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, 15 MINS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON! I TOOK IT STRAIGHT BACK AND DAYS LATER THEY CALLED...COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THE CODE AGAIN WAS FOR THE SENSORS, THEY INSTALLED AGAIN & CHECKED THE SOLENOIDS BUT THEY WERE FINE. THEY ADVISED A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED & WOULD BE $2400. WITH NO WARRANTY, I COULDN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR, SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT UNTIL I CAME UP $$. IT STILL SHIFTS HORRIBLE AND OFTEN 'REVS' WHILE ACCELERATING BUT WON'T SHIFT FROM 2ND-3RD. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, I HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN IT OFF 20 MINS BEFORE IT WILL DRIVE. A DAY OR TWO LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF, BUT WILL RANDOMLY APPEAR AGAIN WHEN THE 'NO GO' HAPPENS AGAIN. AFTER 'GOOGLING' THE SYMPTOMS, THERE'S SEVERAL FORUMS STATING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES! I'M AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE MERGING ON THE HWY OR AT AN INTERSECTION. THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE CAR I'VE OWNED & I'M IN SHOCK A VEHICLE THAT COST ME 50K WOULD END UP THE WORST CAR I'VE OWNED. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ONLY SAFETY ISSUE I HAVE, BUT SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR, I'VE REPLACED 3 DOOR HANDLES, IT SHAKES AROUND 60MPH, THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE & THE LOCKS INTERMITTENTLY WORK, BOTH CAPS ON THE AUX OUTLETS CAME OFF AFTER 6 MOS ALONG W/ THE PAINT ON THE A/C CONTROLS. COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED IN GM! *TR

ON JULY 26, 2013 I WAS IN MY 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI WHEN I HAD AN ISSUE. I WAS IN MY CAR, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT IT WAS IN PARK. I WAS IDLING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN I RECEIVED A "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF AND GAVE IT ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON WITH THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE STABILITRAC", "STABILITRAC OFF", SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", AND "POWER ASSIST OFF". I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO TRY TO BRING THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. AFTER I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE PART FOR ROUGHLY ABOUT $300 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY WITH ALL OF THE MESSAGES. SINCE THE REPAIR I DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 60 MILES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AGAIN, AND THE CAR SEEMS TO BE FIXED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER SINCE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OF US WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

TRAVELING ON I-75 NORTHBOUND FROM CHATTANOOGA TO KNOXVILLE, THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO, CAR REDUCES SPEED ALMOST TO A HALT. OFF TO THE RAMP AT REALLY SLOW SPEED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND SOON AFTER THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. COMPUTER INDICATES: SERVICE STABILITRAC - SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL - POWER ASSIST OFF - TRANSMISSION FLUID HOT, IDLE ENGINE. REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLE FOR 5 MINS. CAR RESTARTS BUT ALL THE LIGHTS AND MESSAGES STILL ON. RETURNED HOME (ABOUT 35 MILES) WITH ENGINE REVVING AROUND 3500 AND SPEED AT ABOUT 50 MPH. ENGINE TEMP AND OIL PRESSURE INDICATORS OK. THIS WAS SCARY WITH 2 KIDS IN THE CAR! TAKING IT TO GARAGE TOMORROW. *TR

MY DOOR HANDLE ON THE REAR DRIVER PASSENGER SIDE HAD BECOME REALLY LOOSE. MY 5 YEAR OLD SON PULLED THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE HANDLE PRACTICALLY CAME OFF. THE DOOR HANDLE IS UNUSABLE AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. HERE IN HAWAII THE COST TO REPLACE THE PART IS RIDICULOUS. I PURCHASED A 2004 YUKON BRAND NEW AND LOVED IT. WHEN MY CAR WAS TOTALED BY A TREE DURING BAD WEATHER, I PURCHASED ANOTHER YUKON IN 2008, THIS TIME A 2007 MODEL. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL WHILE DRIVING, DEALER SAYS IT'S OK, HAD THE RIMS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE PEELING, JUST NOTICED THERE IS A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIR BAG IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE BUTTON FOR THE REAR WINDOW HAS FALLEN OUT AND NOW MY DOOR HANDLE HAS FALLEN OFF!!! I PAID TOP DOLLAR FOR MY CAR AND FEEL I PAID FOR A "SOUR LEMON". AMERICAN CAR WITH PARTS MANUFACTURED IN CHINA????? I THINK GMC SHOULD OWN UP TO THESE ISSUES AND HAVE IT RECALLED AS THE TRUCK IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I SEE RUSTED OUT BEATER CARS FROM THE 70'S STILL CRUISING AROUND YET ALL THE ORIGINAL DOOR HANDLES ETC... ARE STILL IN GREAT WORKING CONDITION. WHAT THE HECK!!!! I MAY NEVER PURCHASE A GMC AGAIN............ *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT AFTER. THE TRUCK THEN BEGAN TO IDLE STRANGE LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. I DROVE IT HOME WHILE TALKING TO MY HUSBAND HE STATED SINCE I JUST FILLED UP THE TANK MAYBE IT WAS BAD GAS. I DROVE IT HOME WHICH WAS ABOUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. AS SOON AS I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY , THE SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM CAME UP ON THE DASH AND THE MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING THIS HORRIBLE CLICKING. I LATER FOUND OUT THE MOTOR IS GONE AND THREW A ROD. I THINK ITS PRETTY ODD THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON THEN THE ENGINE ACTS UP. THIS IS A PROBLEM GMC NEEDS TO FIX, THEY DON'T FEEL ITS THEIR PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE ESC AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE VACUUM HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AT LEAST TWENTY-FIVE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE BACK DOOR HANDLES ON OUR 2007 DENALI ARE EXTREMELY LOOSE TO THE POINT THAT THEY ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY FALLEN OFF. THIS AFFECTS OUR DAY TO DAY COMMUTE AND SHOULD BE FIXED, WE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR A LUXURY CAR, THE HANDLES SHOULD NOT BE FALLING OFF. I AM SURPRISED THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE CONTACT ME, THANK YOU. *TR
