2008 GMC YUKON HYBRID Complaints

WE BOUGHT THIS YUKON AND THERE IS A AIRBAG RECALL AND I CALLED TO MAKE APPT AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX IT UNTIL GMC SAID IT'S OK BECAUSE AND TO KEEP DRIVING IT. THIS IS NOT RIGHT I HAVE A YOUNG SON AND FAMILY THAT I DRIVE IT EVERYDAY THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CALL ME OR EMAIL ME WHAT TO DO.. THANK YOU [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR NOW AND WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR A REMEDY? MEANWHILE DRIVING IN FLORIDA ISNT SCARY ENOUGH BUT I HAVE THIS ON MY MIND EVER SINGLE TIME WE GET IN OUR TRUCK.

MY TRUCK ACCELERATES AND ABRUPTLY STOPS WHILE SLOWING DOWN UNDER 20 MPH. UNDER 20 MPH THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSE TO SWITCH OVER TO CONNECT TO HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPS WHILE TURNING OR SOMETIMES THE CAR CUTS ALL THE WAY OFF. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010 AND I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2013. OVERTIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY WOULD TELL ME THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I RECENTLY HAD MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE LIFTERS ACCORDING TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. THE COST WAS 6000 TO REPAIR. AFTER REPAIRING THE LIFTERS THE CAR STILL HAS THE SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATING AND STOPPING ISSUES.WE WERE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CHEVROLET THAT WE SHOULD "JUST DUMP THE VEHICLE AND THEY HAD A HYBRID IN THE BACK THEY HAD OVER A MONTH AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG WITH IT". I PAID OVER 38,000 FOR THIS TRUCK AT THEIR DEALER SHIP. IVE INVESTED THOUSANDS IN REPAIR COSTS. I WON'T SELL IT BECAUSE I KNOW IT HAS SAFETY HAZARDS. I DRIVE WITH CAUTION BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT THE CAR TO ACCELERATE.

WHEN THE TRUCK GOES FROM THE AUTO STOP TO ENGINE POWER THE CLUCH IN THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE FULL SHUTTING THE TRUCK OFF WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT FROM A STOP. THE TRUCK HAS SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 5 SMALL CHILDREN ON BOARD. OTHER TIMES IT WILL ONLY PARTIALLY ENGAGED LEAVING YOU WITH ALMOST NO POWER TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. MY TRUCK IS STILL UNDER 100000 MILES BUT OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN SIX MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED. THIS YUKON HAS BEEN KEPT AND DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN THE HOT/HUMID CONDITIONS INDICATED IN THE RECALL. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE, OR THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE TRUSTWORTHY AND THE DEALER CANNOT/WILL NOT REPAIR IT AND HAS NO ESTIMATED DATE TO EXPECT A SOLUTION. WE ARE NOW ENTERING WINTER, WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS TIME TO DRIVE WHERE I LIVE. THERE ARE FAR MORE ACCIDENTS, AND IN TURN FAR MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE AIRBAGS TO FAIL AND CAUSE INJURIES THAT WOULD NOT OCCUR IF THE RECALL HAD BEEN RESOLVED.

SOMETIMES WHEN I COME TO A STOP MY VEHICLE GOES INTO THE AUTOSTOP MODE, BUT WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE IT JUST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH THE GAS ENGINE NOT ENGAGING AND THE ELECTRIC MODE NOT MOVING THE VEHICLE THEN IT JERKS REALLY HARD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR ABOUT A DAY AND THEN GOES OFF ON IT'S OWN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MULITPLE GMC DEALERSHIPS NUMEROUS TIMES AND PAIDED OUT FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ANY CODES EVEN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO BEING HIT FROM THE BACK ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE INITIALLY MOVES SLOWLY BEFORE JERKING AND STALLING AND ALMOST BROAD SIDED ON MORE THAN 3 OCCASIONS WHEN PULLING OUT OF A STOP SIGN INTO TRAFFIC. I AM AWARE OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS CAN WE GET HELP BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE DEALERSHIP ISN'T CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN REFUSED THE OPPORTUNITY THE HAVE A GM REGIONAL REP MEET ME AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO REVIEW THE ISSUE.

SOMETIMES WHEN I COME TO A STOP MY VEHICLE GOES INTO THE AUTOSTOP MODE, BUT WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE IT DOESN'T COME OUT OF AUTOSTOP AND JERKS REALLY HARD THEN STALLS OUT. ONCE I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT, IT CRANKS RIGHT UP BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR ABOUT A DAY AND THEN GOES OFF ON IT'S OWN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO GMC DEALERSHIP TWICE AND PAID OUT ABOUT $700 FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ANY CODES EVEN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO BEING HIT FROM THE BACK ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE INITIALLY MOVES SLOWLY BEFORE JERKING AND STALLING. PLEASE HELP MYSELF AND OTHERS WITH THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM GET HELP BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE DEALERSHIP ISN'T CONCERNED WITH OUR SAFETY AS WELL AS OUR CHILDREN.

DRIVING 45 EXITING THE FREEWAY WHEN WARNING ENGINE LIGHT COME SON " ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND DROPPED THE CAR TO 1MPH ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THERE WAS NO POWER IT HAD ME STALLED ON THE OFF RAMP EXIT DURING BUSY MORNING TRAFFIC. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF BEING STALLED AND ATTEMPTING TO GIVE THE GAS PEDAL IT FINALLY MOVED FOR ME TO GET OVER OUT OF THE WAY. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. VERY DANGEROUS LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT AND I DIDNT HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR.

LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE, PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO FLOOR. BRAKE WARNING ANNUNCIATOR STABILITRAK CAUTION ANNUNCIATOR SERVICE BRAKES SOON MESSAGE ON DIC STABILITRAK FAILURE MESSAGE ON DIC DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, RADIO ON, AIR CONDITIONING ON, DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES A GUY IN FRONT OF ME DOES A QUICK LANE CHANGE AND TURN IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TO STEP ON THE BRAKE HARD BUT NOT SUPER HARD. WHEN I DID THIS THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT FURTHER THAN NORMAL AND ALL OF THE ABOVE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. A). I SLOWLY PULL INTO A PARKING LOT (2-3 MPH) AND THE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. ALMOST CANNOT STOP. B). I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART BUT THE LIGHTS COME ON AS SOON AS I PRESS ON THE BRAKE. I DO THIS SEVERAL MORE TIME, CHECK BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR BUT THE SAME RESULTS. C). AFTER ABOUT THE 6 TIME RESTARTING, I HEAR A SMALL MOTOR RUNNING ( BRAKE ACCUMULATOR / MODULATOR ? ) AND THE PEDAL BEGINS TO GET FIRM AGAIN AND THE WARNING ANNUNCIATORS EXTINGUISHED. D). I CONTINUED DRIVING HOME SLOWLY WITH NO FURTHER FAULTS. DIDN'T THINK OF CHECKING THE VOLTAGE UNTIL EVERYTHING WAS GOOD, AT THAT POINT IT WAS INDICATING 15VDC. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY MANY TIMES SINCE THEN. HAVE TAKEN TO KEEPING ONE FOOT ON EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BUT THIS DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. DEALER ORDERED THE ELECTRIC PUMP (BRAKE MODULATOR) AND TWO WEEKS LATER DEALERSHIP STATES GM CANNOT LOCATE ANY PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. PART REMAINS ON ORDER. VEHICLE NOT OPERABLE WITHOUT BRAKES. *TR

MY STEERING POWER WAS COMPLETELY DOWN WITHOUT NO WARNING HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE THE GOOD THING IT HAPPEN WHEN I GOT AN OIL CHANGE... I DON'T KNOW WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSE IT CAUSE MY TRUCK WAS PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THE OIL CHANGE ONCE THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE THE STEERING POWER WAS NOT WORKING G MT WHEEL WAS VERY HARD. *TR
