2005 GMC Yukon Problems

AIR CONDITIONING TURNS TO EXTREME HEAT WHILE DRIVING! DANGER FOR DRIVER

I HAVE NOTICED OVER THE PAST YEAR THAT THE SHIFT INDICATOR IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT/NOT VISIBLE DURING ANY OPERATION OF CAR OPERATION. THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT TO THE LOCAL DEALER DO TO A SAFETY ISSUE IN WHICH YOU DO NOT SEE WHAT POSITION THE SHIFT INDICATOR IS IN.

The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 80 MPH in an interstate with her in the passenger seat and her two children in the rear seats, the steering wheel seized inadvertently and the brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle veered off to the left side of the road. The contact stated as her husband was trying to regain control of the vehicle, the tires hit the pavement and the vehicle rolled over 7 times in a ditch, within 180 yards and landed on its passenger side.

3 OF THE 13 EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BROKEN OFF FLUSH WITH THE BLOCK. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND THOUSANDS OF OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. LOOKING FOR GMC TO COVER THE COSTS TO FIX THIS (SHOULD BE RECALL) ISSUE.

MESSAGE ON DASH SAYING AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE

WHEN DRIVING MY TRUCK THE TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON FREQUENTLY WHEN IN MOTION. SOMETIMES IT EVEN COMPLETELY DOESN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS EVEN WHEN GIVEN GAS THEN LURKS FORWARD, WHICH FRIGHTENS ME BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHICH COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS PRETTY COMMON, THIS IS ALARMING THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PUT INTO EFFECT! BESIDES THAT MY TRUCK RUNS BEAUTIFUL, WHAT CAN I DO? THIS IS AN ONGOING THING.

TRACTION ACTIVATION ENGAGES FOR NO REASON USUALLY WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND VEHICLE REACHES APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THE GAS PEDAL LOCKS UP BRIEFLY AND ENGINE APPEARS TO WANT TO DIE, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS THE ACTIVATION LIGHT GOES BACK OUT AND TRUCK IF FINE. IF I DRIVE AN HOUR THIS PROBLEM OCCURS 3 TIMES. MY MECHANIC ADVISED NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM FROM GMC. THE CAR WAS CHECKED TWICE WITHIN A WEEK AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, BUT WHEN TESTED WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING EQUIPMENT I WAS ADVISED IT'S A CENSOR PROBLEM, BUT THE DENALI HAS 4 CENSORS AND THE TESTS CAN'T DETECT WHICH CENSOR IS BAD UNTIL IT GOES OUT COMPLETELY. I WILL CONTACT MY LOCAL GMC DEALER BUT, FROM CHECKING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM PERSONS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BEING TAKEN FOR A RIDE. NOW I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE I'M WAITING FOR THIS CENSOR TO TOTALLY GO OUT. GMC KNOWS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH TRACTION CENSORS AND SHOULD DO THE HONORABLE THING BY RECALLING THESE VEHICLES BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. THE AVERAGE CITIZEN WHO PURCHASES A VEHICLE IN GOOD FAITH SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS AND OR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHILE MECHANICS KEEP CHARGING YOU FOR TESTS THAT AREN'T SOLVING THE PROBLEM. GMC SHOULD REPLACE ALL THE CENSORS SINCE THEIR TESTS CAN'T DETECT WHICH ONE IS BAD. *TR

A KNOWN ISSUE AND PREVIOUS RECALL FOR LIGHTED IDENTIFICATION OF GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR THAT TELLS YOU WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN. LIGHT BURNS OUT ARE STOPS FUNCTIONING, RESULT YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF THE GEAR YOU ARE IN. SUPPOSEDLY MY VIN DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE RECALL RANGE. INTERNET DISCLOSES MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM NOT INCLUDE IN PREVIOUS RECALL. A EXPANDED RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE TO INCLUDE ANY VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THIS INCLUDES A NUMBER OF GMC PRODUCTS, SIERRA, YUKON ETC. ALL DEALER STATED IT WAS NOT WITHIN RECALL RANGE. SO I AM STUCK WITH A DANGERS VEHICLE THAT YOU CAN NOT TELL WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED IN. INDICATOR DOES NOT LIGHT IN STOPPED OR MOVING POSITION! LIGHT FADED, FADED AND FINALLY FAILED 3 MONTHS AGO!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON. AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION TO THE ON POSITION, THE SHIFT LEVER POSITION INDICATORS DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V055000 (POWER TRAIN). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

The third row seat attachment from the seat to the frame has broken. It is a hook type mechanism that holds the entire row of seats to the latch in the floorboard. This car was not in an accident and the seats broke when the vehicle stopped. There should be a recall. Also the back seatbelt was on a recall for this vehicle but doesn't show up anymore. Please restore the recall. Thank you

THE SECOND ROW SEATS WILL NOT FOLD DOWN FLAT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. *TR

THIS IS THE 2ND OCCURRENCE OF THE SAME INCIDENT IN 3 MONTHS. WHILE MOVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT, THE ENGINE JUST STOPS. NO SHUDDER, NO ROUGH IDLE, NO WARNING. WITHOUT POWER, STEERING IS IMPAIRED OR IMPOSSIBLE. TURNING THE IGNITION KEY RESTARTS THE ENGINE NORMALLY. JIGGLING THE KEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A STEERING SHAFT CLANKING NOISE WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE UNIVERSAL IN THE STEERING COLUMN FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE FAILURE BUT HAD NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,200. UPDATED 09/27/11 *BF UPDATED 11/02/11

THE SPARE TIRE IS STORED UNDER VEHICLE AND LOWERED FROM BENEATH THE VEHICLE BY A CRANKING A CABLE. IT ALSO HAS A SECONDARY LATCH TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING ON ROAD IF THAT CABLE SHOULD FAIL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE LATCH IS DESIGNED VERY POORLY AND QUITE SUSCEPTIBLE TO RUSTING FROM ROAD SALT. THIS PREVENTS IT FROM RELEASING THE SPARE TIRE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE REASON THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THE SPARE TIRE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE WITHOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE ON EXACTLY HOW TO RELEASE A FROZEN SAFETY LATCH. IT IS VERY UNLIKELY ANYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO SO WHILE STRANDED ROADSIDE WITH A FLAT TIRE. IT WOULD AT LEAST GREATLY EXTEND THE AMOUNT OF TIME PERSON WOULD BE WORKING ON THEIR VEHICLE ALONG THE ROAD. *TR

THE INSIDE TREAD OF EVERY TIRE IS 1/2 INCH SHORTER THAN THE OUTSIDE TREAD AFTER ONLY 30,000 MILES. THE CAR ALIGNMENT WAS CHECKED AND ONLY SLIGHTLY OFF. TWO AUTO MECHANICS HAVE SAID THEY ARE JUNK TIRES AND THAT IS WHY THEY WORE THE WAY THEY DID. *TR

I HAD DRIVEN MY YUKON FOR ROUGHLY A YEAR WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR GLASS HINGE BROKE. IT CAUSED A LEAK AND I HAVE BEEN IN FEAR OF THE BACK GLASS COMING LOOSE OR BREAKING DURING DRIVING. MY RESEARCH HAS LED ME TO SEVERAL STORIES OF THE SAME PROBLEM LEAVING GLASS ON ROADS, CARWASHES, AND EVEN ON FOLLOWING VEHICLES, CAUSING DAMAGE. GM EXPECTS ME TO PAY OVER $1000 TO REPLACE THE GLASS. A REDESIGNED GLASS WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO HELP FIX IT. *TR

FAILURE OF REAR WINDOW HINGE IN GMC 2005 YUKON. HINGE AND GLASS SEPARATE, WINDOW IS LOOSE; CAN BE PULLED OFF DUE TO SUCTION FROM OTHER VEHICLES OR THE WIND. CONTACTED GMC, CUSTOMER SERVICE REP, CHRISTIAN, SAID NOT COVERED DUE TO WARRANTY EXPIRED ON VEHICLE, NO RECALL IN EFFECT. I EXPLAINED THERE ARE SEVERAL POSTS ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE REGARDING THE REAR HINGE FAILING. HE OFFERED TO PROVIDE A SERVICE PROVIDER, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE ENTIRE BACK GLASS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM TO GMC, SOME POSTS INDICATED COVERED BY DEALERS, OTHERS WERE NOT. ONE LISTING OF BACK GLASS FALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURRED WHEN WE OPENED THE BACK GLASS TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS GARAGED AT HOME, AND WHILE AT WORK. REAR WINDOW IS RARELY OPENED. NEVER TOWED ANYTHING BEHIND VEHICLE. AS MUCH INFO THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I'M HOPING GMC WILL RE-CONSIDER AND PLACE A RE-CALL. SOON. ONLY 65K MILES, PURCHASED NEW IN MAY 2005.
