2007 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

A SERVICE LIGHT IN THE BRAND NEW 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI XL CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE SERVICE TEAM EVALUATED THE VEHICLE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CONTROL MODULE IN THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, WE RECEIVED A CALL INFORMING THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION IN THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THIS CONCERNS US FOR MANY REASONS. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 4000 MILES AND WE NEED TO HAVE OUR TRANSMISSION REPLACED! WE NOTICED BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE THAT THE TRUCK WOULD SOMETIMES SLIP WHILE DRIVING AND WE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BREAKING IN, NOW WE REALIZE THAT IT WAS MUCH MORE SERIOUS AND THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE TURNED INTO SOMETHING MUCH LARGER. OUR TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE LOCKED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING OR WORSE WHILE DRIVING INJURING US OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED, BUT HAS THE SOURCE OF THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM BEEN SOLVED??? *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DVD ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE REMOTE CONTROL IN ORDER TO TURN THE DVD SCREEN ON AND OFF BECAUSE THE SCREEN DOES NOT HAVE A POWER BUTTON. THIS MADE IT DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE FOR THE DRIVER TO ATTEMPT TO TURN THE SYSTEM ON WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED, AND DETERMINED THAT THE DVD SCREEN WORKED AS DESIGNED. UPDATED 11/30/2006 - IN ORDER TOT URN THE SCREEN ON THE CONSUMER HAD TO LEAN BACK IN THE SEAT AND POINT THE REMOTE TOWARDS THE SCREEN. SOMETIME IT TOO 4-5 ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE SCREEN WOULD TURN ON. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR HAD A LOT OF VIBRATION. THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED FOAM IN AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED.

2007 GMC DENALI ROLLED BACKWARD AFTER KEY WAS REMOVED AND VEHICLE IN "PARK". CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE AS IT ROLLED ABOUT 100 YARDS IN LENGTH DOWN APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET. CONSUMER COULD HAVE RECEIVED MAJOR INJURIES AS VEHICLE WENT OVER A 4 FOOT WALL DURING INCIDENT AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO GET IN TO ATTEMPT TO STOP, BUT HAD TO HANG ON STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO NOT GET RUN OVER. *JB

I JUST PURCHASED A 2007 YUKON XL DENALI. IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE 2 TETHER ANCHORS IN THE THIRD PASSENGER ROW - IT ONLY HAS 1. I WAS TOLD BEFORE PURCHASING DURING MY COMPARISONS THAT IS WAS LISTED AS HAVING 2. MY OWNERS MANUAL SAID IT HAS 2 AND EVEN HAS A PICTURE OF THEIR LOCATIONS. THERE IS ONLY ONE. I CONTACTED GMC THEY SAID IT MUST OF BEEN A MISPRINT AND IS ILLEGAL TO RETROFIT A TETHER. I HAVE CHILD SEATS IN THE 3RD ROW THAT REQUIRE TETHERS. I NEED AT LEAST 2. THEY BASICALLY SAID TOO BAD. *JB

THE MONITOR FOR THE REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM IS OBSTRUCTING MY REAR VIEW MIRROR VIEW. BETWEEN THE MONITOR AND THE REAR GATE WINDOW LATCH I HAVE ABOUT 2 INCHES OF MID VIEW THAT IS NOT CAUGHT BY THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. THEY SAID THEY WERE SENDING ME A COUPON FOR AN OIL CHANGE - NOT A GOOD SOLUTION IN MY MIND. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE INSPECTING A VEHICLE FOR PURCHASE AT A DEALERSHIP, THE CONTACT'S CHILD WHO WAS SITTING IN THE SECOND ROW SEAT PRESSED THE AUTO FOLDING SEAT CONTROL WHICH KNOCKED THE CHILD BACKWARDS TRAPPING THE CHILD BETWEEN THE TWO ROWS OF SEATS. THE CONTACT FREED THE CHILD BY MANUALLY PULLING THE SECOND ROW SEAT UPWARDS. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE ALERTED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHILD WAS INJURED. UPDATED 09/22/06
