What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 GMC Yukon Xl 2500, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Airbags
Reports naming the air-bag system — deployment behaviour, inflators, sensors and warning lights.
From owner reports, verbatim
TAKATA RECALL-IT IS SIGNIFICANT TO ME THAT A 2016 NOTICE REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS IS STILL LISTED AS "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE." THIS HAS BEEN OVER ONE YEAR AND A RECALL NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE FOR MY SPECIFIC YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN EVERYDAY AND EVERY DAY THERE IS WORRY AMONG OUR FAMILY THAT THERE MAY BE AN INJURY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN OUR VEHICLE. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ASAP. NO MORE "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE" RESPONSE IS ACCEPTABLE. ACT NOW. ISSUE A RECALL WITH A REMEDY.
DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. PIECES HAVE NOW BROKEN OFF THAT COULD BECOME PROJECTILES IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY

HAVE 2 KIDS AGED 9 AND 4. THE TAILGATE DECIDED TO GO ON MY 2007 YUKON XL. THE GATE ALMOST CRUSHED MY 9 YEAR OLD SON IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR ME STANDING THERE. THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC GATE AND IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

Seat belts
Reports naming seat belts, buckles, retractors and pretensioners.
From owner reports, verbatim
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

Transmission
Reports naming the automatic or manual transmission, including shifting behaviour, shudder, slipping and transmission control modules.
From owner reports, verbatim
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

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.
