2008 GMC Yukon Denali Xl Problems

TAKATA RECALL LOCAL DEALER CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INVOLVED IN GM RECALL 49151 ISSUED IN A JULY 2016! THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN LOUISIANA AND HAS SPENT MUCH OF ITS LIFE THERE - LOUISIANA IS CONSIDERED A CRITICAL, FIRST PRIORITY AREA UNDER YOU RECALL. I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS SUBMITTED A THIRD REQUEST FOR WAIVER - PLEASE DENY AND REQUIRE GM TO FOLLOW YOUR ORDER.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN WILL THIS MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 2049152, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V383 BE RESOLVED? INFORMATION BETWEEN GM AND NHTSA HAS BEEN EXCHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION EVEN THOUGH THE DATES FOR INFORMATION EXCHANGE AND PETITIONS IS LONG PAST.

THE DASH ABOVE THE GAUGE CLUSTER HAS A HUGE CRACK AND THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER CRACK BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I NOTICED IT WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED ALL NIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CHROME IS PEELING OFF, AND IT CUT MY WIFE'S HAND TODAY. THERE ARE 3 OF THE 4 DOORS THAT HAVE IT PEELING, AND I AM WORRIED ONE OF MY CHILDREN WILL CUT THERE FINGERS ALSO.

ENGINE FAILURE AT 64,000 MILES. DROVE VEHICLE FROM HOME AND THEN VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. TRUCK DRIVING FINE UP UNTIL THAT POINT. NO WARNING SIGNS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEFOREHAND. VEHICLE NOW AT GMC DEALERSHIP AND NEEDS NEW ENGINE FOR UP TO $10,000. GMC IS NOT COVERING THE EXPENSE. GAVE $2,000 TOWARDS THE REPAIR. VEHICLE PAST WARRANTY PERIOD. ENGINE SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 64,000 MILES. REGULARLY MAINTAINED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER A REGULAR INSPECTION BY THE DEALER, THE TECHNICIAN NOTIFIED THE CONTACT THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS RUSTING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY. VEHICLE GAUGES BEGIN TO ACT ERRATICALLY, VEHICLE HEAVES AND LURCHES, THEN 100% POWER FAILURE. NOTHING WORKED, EVEN HAZZARD LIGHTS. AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF. WAS ABLE TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL, HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN DOOR LOCKS. AFTER 10-15 MINUTES, THE POWER CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME. HAPPENED AGAIN ON 3/23/14. AGAIN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ELECTRIC COMPONENTS (RADIO, GAUGES, POWER CORD ACCESSORIES) BEGIN ACTING ERRATICALLY AND THEN 100% COMPLETE POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THE GM DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE OR FIND THE PROBLEM. I FEEL 100% UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE POWER DOOR LOCKS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. HORN SOUNDS INDICATING DOOR IS LOCKED HOWEVER IT DOESN'T LOCK. ALSO REMOTE START DOES WORK LEAVING VEHICLE A TARGET FOR THEFT. ALSO THREE OF FOUR OF THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BROKE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

2008 GMC YUKON XL DENALI. DRIVER DOOR AND DRIVER SIDE REAR LOCKS FAILED. WITH AUTO LOCKS, THE LOCKS ON ALL DOORS ENGAGE WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR. GRANDDAUGHTER SITTING IN REAR SEAT IN BOOSTER WITH SEAT BELT. DRIVING VEHICLE, SHE PULLED ON DOOR HANDLE AND THE DOOR OPENED. STOPPED VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO LOCK DOORS WITH BOTH KEY FOB AND INTERIOR SWITCH, NEITHER DOOR WOULD LOCK. ABLE TO LOCK DOORS MANUALLY. UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL INCIDENT. SHE COULD HAVE FALLEN OUT OF VEHICLE IF NOT FOR BOOSTER AND SEAT BELT. NO WARNING NOTED OR POSTED ON DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. INCIDENTALLY, WHEN KEY FOB LOCK IS ACTIVATED, CAR ALARM IS ACTIVATED, HOWEVER DRIVER DOOR AND REAR DOOR ARE NOT LOCKED. VEHICLE DOES NOT REALIZE THIS AND REMOTE START FUNCTION STILL OPERATES. NOW CAR CAN BE STARTED, BUT ANYONE CAN JUST WALK UP AND DRIVE OFF IN THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE THE DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. MOST CONCERN IS FOR SAFETY OF PASSENGERS, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. THE AUTOLOCK DOORS WITH GEARS ENGAGED IS AN ADVERTISED SAFETY FEATURE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS SYSTEM FAILS...ESPECIALLY WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE FAILURE. WOULD APPRECIATE A RECALL, OR AT THE VERY LEAST A WARNING TO OWNERS THAT THIS COULD OCCUR AND CREATE A HAZARD. *TT

DOOR LOCK FAILURE. POWER LOCKS ON 3 OUT OF 4 DOORS HAVE FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST 30,000 MILES, UNDER NORMAL USAGE. OVER $600 TO REPAIR TWO DOORS, BUT FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AS THESE DOORS CANNOT BE UNLOCKED AND THEN OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS SUV FROM LEGENDS AUTO SALE. AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I NOTICE THE ENGINE BAY WAS REAL RUSTY LIKE ITS BEEN IN WATER OR DRIVEN OVER LOTS OF WATER. I DIDNT GET A CAR FAX AT TIME OF PURCHASES BUT DID CAR FAX MYSELF , AND IT APPEARED THAT VEHICLE IS FROM NEW ORLEANS. WITH ALL THE DIRT AND GRIM COMING OUT OF VEHICLE ITS DIFFENTLY FROM NEW ORLEANS. SO FAR I REPLACED NEW PADS AND ROTORS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE SWITCH, NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. THE PROBLEM OCCURRING NOW IS THAT MY TRAC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER HALF HOUR OF DRIVING AND CAR SEIZES UP AND I'M UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT OFF ENGINE AND LET REST FOR HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR BEFORE LIGHTS GOES AWAY AND I'M ABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE BUT IT MIGHT BE DUE TO IT BEING IN THE FLOOD THUS CAUSING CORROSION AND RUSTING IN ALL PARTS OF VEHICLE. I DON'T HAVE DOCUMENTS ON ME AT THIS TIME AS I MISPLACED IT BUT CAN GET IT AGAIN AND UPLOAD IMAGE.

THIS IS TWICE THAT I'VE RECEIVED THE P2138 THROTTLE BODY SENSOR CODE, WHICH CAUSES REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND HAS SUBSEQUENT ISSUES AROUND STABILITRACK/AWD. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WE LIMPED OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AT 3 MPH. TODAY, MY WIFE LIMPED HOME FROM THE STORE. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO!! *TR

STRONG GASOLINE FUMES LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLES PASSENGER'S INTERIOR OF A 2008 YUKON XL DENALI. IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT IS AN OVERPOWERING ODOR CAUSING NAUSEA AND DIZZINESS, AND PARTIAL BLACKOUTS OF DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. NO PROBLEMS EVIDENT. *TR

POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN OVER TIRES LOSING AIR PRESSURE DUE TO LEAKS CAUSED AT TIRE/WHEEL INTERFACE. ROOT CAUSE IS THAT CHROME PLATING ON ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE PEELING, RESULTING IN CORROSION OF THE ALUMINUM SUBSTRATE CAUSING INABILITY TO ACHIEVE PROPER SEALING BETWEEN THE TIRE AND THE RIM. IT IS KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY THAT CHROME PLATING ON ALUMINUM HAS A LIMITED LIFE EXPECTANCY (APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS) BEFORE PEELING OF THE CHROME OCCURS...MORE ROBUST COATING METHODS ARE AVAILABLE, SUCH AS PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (PVD). ..

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI IN JANUARY OF 2008 .THIS CAR HAS 60000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT .I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES ON THE TRUCK DUE TO A CONSTANT LOSE OF AIR IN THE TIRES TO FIND OUT AFTER REPLACING THE TIRES THAT THE LOSE OF AIR IS DUE TO THE AIR LEAKING THRU THE RIMS .I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE BUT IN ALL OF MY 30 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE RIMS GOING BAD ON A CAR. AS I SEE IT THE RIMS ARE LIKE THE FOUNDATION OF A HOUSE AND SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK . YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE SUCH AN ITEM ,ALSO AFTER LOOKING ON LINE AND CONTACTING THE DEALER IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL GM TRUCKS MADE BETWEEN 2006-2010.ALSO AS A RESULT OF THE AIR LEAKING OUT AS THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY WIFE SHE MADE A TURN AND AS SHE WAS TURNING THE TIRE GAVE OUT DUE TO A LOSE IN PRESSURE. *TR
