1. RIMS ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF CORROSION,FLAKING AND BLISTERING OF THE CHROME ON THE ALUMINUM RIMS. 2. VEHICLE HAS NEW BATTERY INSTALLED AND IS BEING DRAINED SOME HOW WHILE THE NAVIGATION AND RADIO SEEM TO BE OPERATING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS OFF. THIS PROBLEM RESULTS INTO A DEAD BATTERY AFTER VEHICLE IS PARKED FOR A SEVERAL MINUTES. *NOTE: NO SOLUTION AT THIS TIME HAS FIXED THE PROBLEMS LISTED. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE AND A QUICK RESPONSE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
FIRST, THE BATTERY DIES IF THE RADIO IS TURNED ON FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES WITH THE ENGINE OFF. THE CAR NEEDED A JUMP-START. THIS HAPPENED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. SECOND, THERE IS A DELAY WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY STATING "THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE." LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, SAME THING STARTS AGAIN. SO I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION AGAIN. IRONICALLY, THIS TIME THE BATTERY ACTUALLY DIED AT THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER A FEW HOURS, THE DEALER STATES THAT THE BATTERY IS "DEFECTIVE" AGAIN!! AND NOW THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THE OLD DEFECTIVE BATTERY THAT THEY REPLACED. MY 2007 YUKON DENALI XL WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND WENT THROUGH THREE NEW BATTERIES. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MY WIFE AND THREE KIDS ARE STRANDED AGAIN??? THIS IS NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM. IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM GM IS TRYING DESPERATELY TO COVER UP. PLEASE HELP. GETTING VERY AGGRAVATED AND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS ISSUE. IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE BUT THIS PROBLEM DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME ONE. *TR
2007 GMS YUKON XL HAS HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH AIR VENTING SYSTEM BECOMING STUCK IN DEFROST MODE. 8/30/07 SERVICE ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED. AGAIN ON 7/01/08 I HAD THE ACTUATOR REPLACED. 2/20/09 ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN SAME ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED FOR 3RD TIME ALONG WITH NEW PROGRAMMING FOR HVAC CONTROL HEAD. NOW 6/28/10 I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. DANGER OF THIS ISSUE IS IN THE SUMMER MONTHS FOGGING OF THE EXTERNAL WINDSHIELD HAPPERS VISION AND AUTOMATE WIPER WILL NOT KICK ON DUE TO MOISTURE NOT REACHING SENOR AT TOP OF WINDSHIELD. HOWEVER, VISION BECOMES IMPAIRED AND VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING. APPEARS TO BE A KNOW WIDESPREAD ISSUE BASED ON MECHANICS NOTE OF NUMEROUS BULLETINS BEING ISSUED ON CONCERN. NO FIX HAS WORKED TO DATE. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
