2007 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

EXCESSIVE OIL LEAK WENT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL TO LEAK A QUART BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. HAD NUMEROUS TESTS DONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS STILL WITHIN STANDARDS. I AM SORRY BUT I DON'T THINK THAT A QUART BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IS ACCEPTABLE. BEEN ONGOING FOR A WHILE AND I AM SURE IT IS LEAKING TWO QUARTS AND THERE IS A SEAL LEAKING NEAR THE OIL PAN. PRETTY SEVERE TO HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALER IN THE BEGINNING. THEY WANT OVER $600 TO REPAIR THE LEAK NOW. *JS

DASH BOARD CRACKED AROUND AIR BAG LAST YEAR AND NOW A MAJOR CRACK OVER THE STEERING WHEEL THAT IS CAVING THE DASH BOARD IN I CAN SEE DOWN UNDER IT! *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED, BUT UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN ALWAYS MAINTAINED AND SERVICED, UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP. AS SOON AS WE NOTICED THE CRACKS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG AREA, WE CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE, SINCE GMC DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ISSUED, HOWEVER THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GMC VEHICLES AND THERE IS OVERWHELMING DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE OF MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. THERE ARE CUTS AROUND THE AIRBAG AREA WITH SHARP EDGES AND IN CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS, THEY WOULD BE FLYING LIKE DAGGERS AND ARE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WHILE PICKING UP MY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL THE ENGINE STARTED BACKFIRING,PULLED THE CAR OVER AND PUT INTO PARK IDLE COMPLETELY UNSTABLE, TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HARD SHIFT ON TRANSMISSION. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS THEY SAY THE LIFTERS ARE BAD AND ARE NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. QUOTED ME 2700.00 TO REPLACE 2 LIFTERS SO NOT ACCEPTABLE THIS CAR DOES NOT EVEN REQUIRE A TUNE UP UNTIL 100000 MILES. EXPLAINED THAT TO THE SERVICE REP AND HE CAME BACK WITH A DIFFERENT QUOTE TELLING ME THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO COVER HALF. REALLY WHY WOULD YOU OFFER TO PAY HALF RIGHT OFF THE BAT. I BELIEVE THEY ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND TRYING TO COVER IT UP. MY BROTHER IN LAW HAS A YEAR NEWER MODEL AND JUST HAD THE SAME ISSUE REPAIRED LAST MONTH. THEY ALSO PAID HALF FOR HIS. HOW IRONIC IS THAT. I DONT BELIEVE THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A FAULTY PART ON AN ENGINE GM SHOULD BE! THERE ARE MANY POST ON THE INTERNET OF OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEM THIS MOTOR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

STABILITRAK OFF LIGHT COMES ON, FOLLOWED BY REDUCED ENGINE POWER. VEHICLE WON'T GO OVER 30 MPH THEN COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. STEERING GOES OUT AND HAD I NOT BEEN IN A SAFE LOCATION WHERE I COULD DRIFT OVER TO SHOULDER IT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHROME COVERING ON THE INTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE STARTED PEELING AND WOULD CAUSE LACERATIONS TO THE CONTACT'S HAND WHEN UTILIZING THE DOOR HANDLE. IN ADDITION, THE EXTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR HANDLE BECAME FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. *TR

THE DASHES OF ALL GM TRUCKS AND SUVS ARE CRACKING, BADLY. THEY'RE DESIGNED POORLY AND CRACK RIGHT AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SECTION. IN THE EVENT OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, IT WILL SEND JAGGED PLASTIC SHARDS TOWARDS THE OCCUPANTS. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND A SERIOUS HAZARD BUT GM REFUSES TO CORRECT THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED, HENCE I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT. SIMPLY GOOGLE GM CRACKED DASH AND ENJOY ALL THE POSTS AND VIDEOS FROM FRUSTRATED AMERICANS. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

2007 YUKON XL - TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON CAUSING A REDUCTION IN POWER WHILE TRAVELING. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GENERAL MOTORS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR KILLED. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR PRODUCTS THAT ARE INVOLVED. *TR

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN ITHACA, (MAQUIRE CHEVY-CADILLAC) NEAR ITHACA MALL. THE VEHICLE ENGINE SOUND LIKE IF SOMEONE WAS HITTING THE ENGINE WITH A HARD OBJECT, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM,LATER THAT NIGHT I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND DROVE LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SAME NOISE CAME BACK ON. DROVE BACK AND COMPLAIN OF THE PROBLEM THAT BEING FIX AND WAS GIVEN A RENTAL CAR. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE REP. THAT A LIFTER HAD WENT ON THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD COST APPROX. 1,600.00 TO FIX THAT PROBLEM BUT WHEN NOT GUARANTEE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A OUTSIDE MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME THAT IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED UP HIS SCREEN AND ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS ON IT. I PAID $4,774.84 FOR A NEW ENGINE, BUT GMC DID NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. ALL I WANT FOR LABOR IS $600.00 AND 203.00 FOR THE RENTAL CAR. I HAVE RECEIPTS TO SHOW WHAT WAS PAID AND THE BREAK OF WHAT NEEDED TO DONE TO ENGINE. I CONTACTED GMC 1-800 NUMBER WHICH WAS A JOKE, THEY LISTEN BUT REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I NEEDED THE VEHICLE TO BE FIX, WHICH WAS AN EMERGENCY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

MY WIFE'S 2007 YUKON XL HAD A MESSAGE THAT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS OFF AND A REDUCTION IN POWER MESSAGE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR DURING RUSH HOUR. WHEN THIS MESSAGE CAME ON THE YUKON CAME TO A VERY DANGEROUS REDUCTION IN SPEED AND WAS VERY CLOSE TO GETTING REARENDED BY THE VEHICLES BEHIND HER. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE MESSAGE RESET BUT CAME BACK ON SOON AFTER SHE GOT BACK UP TO SPEED AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND CHECKED ALL GROUND STRAPS REPLACED THE BATTERY AND HAVE CHECKED THE HARNESS. THE ISSUE HAS CONTINUED AND SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY IT IS GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE TO START REPLACING PARTS ON THE VEHICLE JUST TO HAVE IT DO THE SAME THING. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE ARE NO RECALLS BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS ON LINE WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE GM PRODUCTS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR KILLED. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR PRODUCTS THAT ARE INVOLVED AND REPAIR THEM.- *TR
