2007 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

THERE IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH SUV I BOUGHT THE DENALI BECAUSE THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE THE BEST BUT IT HAS BEEN FAR FROM IT... MY NAV SCREEN DOSE NOT WORK IT HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND STILL DOSE NOT WORK.. MY POWER RUNNING BOARDS DO NOT WORK AND THE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL. MY BACK-UP CAMERA DOSE NOT WORK BECAUSE THE MONITOR IS THE NAVE SCREEN. THE BACK UP SENSORS DO NOT WORK,THE POWER FLIP DOWN SEATS DO NOT WORK AND THE POWER TAIL GATE DOSE NOT OPEN ... IT IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE DENALI FOR $60,000.00 AND GMC'S PROMISE IS WE ARE PROFESSIONAL GRADE AND THIS IS NOT THE CASE HERE.... *TR

MY 2007 YUKON DENALI WITH THE NEW 6.2 LITRE ENGINE STARTED LEAKING RAW FUEL ONTO MY GARAGE FLOOR DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTOR AFTER DRIVING 2 MILES HOME FROM WORK. I NOTICED THE SMELL AS I EXITED THE TRUCK IN MY GARAGE. I IMMEDIATELY COASTED THE TRUCK OUT OF THE GARAGE REALIZING I HAD AN OPEN FLAME 10 FEET AWAY FROM A GAS WATER HEATER AND A GAS FURNACE. THE SAME DAY I SAW A BLURB ON THE LOCAL NEWS OF A COUPLE OF HOUSE FIRES INVOLVING 2007 YUKONS. I'M CONVINCED THIS WAS PROBABLY THE SAME SCENARIO BUT I RECOGNIZED THE DANGER INSTEAD OF CLOSING THE GARAGE DOOR AND GOING INTO THE HOUSE. PLEASE LOOK MORE INTO THIS ISSUE. MY PROFESSION IS FIREFIGHTING AND I KNOW THIS COULD HAVE REALLY GOTTEN UGLY IF I HAD NOT NOTICED IT. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING IS CONTROLLED BY THE AUTO "LIGHT SENSOR". WHEN DRIVING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN, THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS ARE UNREADABLE ESPECIALLY IF THE DRIVER IS WEARING SUNGLASSES TO SHADE THE EYES. I TRIED TO ASK THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT MAKING A SERVICE CHANGE THAT WOULD HAVE THESE INSTRUMENTS ALWAYS LIGHTED. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE COMPLAINT BUT HAVE NO PLANS TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON XL 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55-60 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE WOULD ONLY WORK DURING MID-LEVEL ROAD ELEVATIONS. THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. THE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED TWO NEAR CRASHES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND IT WAS NOT A SAFETY DEFECT OR CONCERN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,000. UPDATED 02-19-2008 *BF UPDATED 02/19/08 *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON XL 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELTS GO INTO LOCK MODE AND DO NOT PROVIDE ANY SLACK WHEN THEY ARE PULLED COMPLETELY OUT. THE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN CHOKING OF A SMALL CHILD OR A FATALITY SHOULD THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE APPLIED IMMEDIATELY. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RELEASE BUTTON; HOWEVER, THE DEALER AND GMC STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ACCESSIBLE RELEASE BUTTON FOR THE SEAT BELTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000. UPDATED 3/5/08 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE BELTS LOCKS THE PERSON IN UNLESS RETRACTED COMPLETELY AND THE VEHICLE NEEDS AN ACCESSIBLE RELEASE BUTTON. UPDATED 03/05/08 *TR

I BOUGHT 2007 DENALI ON 8/15 AND IT HAD TO GO IN FOR REPAIR 8/17 BECAUSE THE ENGINE HOT/AC TURNED OFF CAME ON. GOT THE CAR BACK 8/20 AT 7PM AND 8 AM THE NEXT MORNING 8/21 THE SAME MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I WAS TOLD IT WAS OK TO DRIVE UNTIL I COULD GET IT IN FOR REPAIR AGAIN ON 8/22. TRIED TO START THE CAR ON 8/22 AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AT ALL AND WOULD LIKE TO GET A BRAND NEW TRUCK AS SINCE I AM PAYING $48,000 FOR THE TRUCK. *TR

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR GOES ON AND OFF WHEN MY WIFE SITS IN IT. SHE WEIGHTS 112 LBS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AT THE DEALER. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND THE DEALERSHIP GAVE US BLANKET STATEMENTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT, HOWEVER THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE SERVICE MANAGER MIKE WITNESSED THE PROBLEM. AS MENTIONED, WE ARE VERY VERY CONCERNED. *TR

THE BRAKES MAKE VERY LOUD NOISE. THERE IS UNEVEN PAD WEAR AND BRAKE SCORING. THE VEHICLE HAS 3500 MILES AND IS BRAND NEW CONDITION. THE DEALER SAID SUCH NOISE, PAD WEAR AND SCORING IS NORMAL.*JB

TL* - THE CONTACT HAS A 2007, YUKON, DENALI WHICH SHE PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2006. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAS BEEN TO THE DAVID MCDAVID DEALERSHIP IN LOUISIANA 4 TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR REMOTE WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOORS. THE REMOTE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPAIRED AS OF DECEMBER 29, 2006. *AK

THIRD ROW SEAT IN 2007 YUKON XL IS POTENTIALLY UNSAFE. VEHICLE IS MARKETED AS CAPABLE OF SEATING ADULTS IN THIRD ROW SEAT, BUT DOES NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE SEAT BELTS AND SPACE FOR SAID ADULTS. SEAT BELTS ARE OF INSUFFICIENT LENGTH FOR ADULTS, AND THE RATCHET MECHANISM DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. FURTHERMORE, THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT FOOT ROOM, LEG ROOM, HIP ROOM AND SHOULDER ROOM MAY CAUSE SAID ADULTS TO SEAT THEMSELVES INCORRECTLY--AND TO PURPOSELY AVOID THE USE OF SEAT BELTS--SUCH THAT THEY PREDISPOSE THEMSELVES TO SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *JB
