THE CHROME METAL COVERING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES OF MY YUKON HAS CRACKED AND IS SEPARATING FROM THE HANDLES. THE SHARP CHROME METAL INJURED MY WIFE BY SLICING HER FINGER AS SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE. MY DAUGHTER PREVIOUSLY RAN HER FOOT ON THE BACK SEAT HANDLE AND CUT HER FOOT. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MATERIAL DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

TRAVELING AT NIGHT, AT 65 MILES AN HOUR IN A 2007 YUKON SLE2 4 DR WAGON, I HIT A STEER (APPROXIMATELY 880LBS). UPON IMPACT, THE BOTTOM OF MY POWER DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED FORWARD AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT TILTED FORWARD, CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE DEALER, AND MY INSURANCE AGENT BOTH VERBALLY AND IN WRITING. THE VEHICLE HAD OVER $11,000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE, BUT THE REPAIR CENTER STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY DAMAGE TO THE SEAT. I TRADED THE VEHICLE IN, AS I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT WITH THE SEAT NOT BEING REPLACED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE IS NOW FOR SALE AGAIN, AND I AM FEARFUL THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE IN A WRECK AND THE SEAT WILL MALFUNCTION AGAIN. *TR
I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 YUKON SLT, ON A DAILY BASIS MY FAMILY AND I EXPERIENCE SMALL CUTS ON OUR HANDS AND FINGERS, BY OPENING THE INTERIOR CAR DOORS. THE LATCHES BECOME EXTREMELY SHARP AT THE TOP SEEMS. I HAVE HAD TO TEACH MY CHILDREN HOW TO AVOID GETTING CUTS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR FIVE DAYS AND WE HAVE SUSTAINED CUTS FOR FIVE DAYS. HOW LONG SHOULD THIS GO ON?? *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2009, THE CHROME PLATED INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BEEN PEELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP IN MARCH OF 2009 AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED RADIO CONTROLS ON SOME 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI TRUCKS WITH THE SIX DISC CD CHANGER. ONE OF THESE CONTROLS IS SUPPOSE TO ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE THE DISC THAT IS PLAYING TO ANOTHER ONE OF THE SIX THAT YOU HAVE LOADED INTO THE CHANGER. ON SOME OF THESE TRUCKS THE WRONG WIRING HARNESS WAS INSTALLED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BUILT ALONG WITH THE WRONG SOFTWARE BEING LOADED INTO THE ELECTRONIC MODULE. THIS PREVENTS THIS CONTROL FROM FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. INSTEAD OF CHANGING THE DISC THAT IS PLAYING, IT SIMPLE GOES TO THE NEXT SONG ON THAT SAME CD. THERE IS ALREADY A CONTROL ON THE STEERING COLUMN TO DO THIS. WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP HE SAID AT FIRST THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROL MODULE WAS BAD AND THEN THAT THE RADIO WAS DEFECTIVE. BOTH ITEMS WERE REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. HE THEN CHECKED SOME OF THE OTHER YUKON DENALIS THAT HE HAD IN STOCK AND TOLD ME THAT ON SOME OF THESE CARS THE CONTROLS WORKED PROPERLY AND ON SOME THEY DID NOT. HE THEN TOLD ME ABOUT THE WIRING HARNESS AND SOFTWARE PROBLEM. GM'S POSITION IS THAT THESE CARS ARE BUILT PROPERLY AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PAGE 336 OF THE OWNERS MANUAL CLEARLY SAYS THAT THIS BUTTON SHOULD CHANGE THE DISC THAT IS PLAYING. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE NOW WHEN YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE DISC YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD AND LOOK DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD AND LOCATE A SMALL 1/4" BY 1/2" BUTTON AND PUSH IT. THIS CAN CAUSE YOU TO DRIFT OUT OF YOUR LANE OF TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS, AFTER ALL, IS A PRIMARY PURPOSE OF STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS FOR RADIOS-YOU CAN KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND FORCE GM TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *JB
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S LIGHTING FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS NOT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO SEE THE GAUGES AT NIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS BENT TO THE LEFT. THE SERVICE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE WHO AGREED BOTH PROBLEMS WERE VALID, BUT COULD NOT OFFER A SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO SOLUTION.*AK UPDATED 08/25/06. *JB
ON JUNE 28, 2006 WHILE LOOKING AT A GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION 2007 YUKON, WITH A RETRACTABLE MIDDLE SEAT. I HAD THE PASSENGER'S REAR DOOR OPENED LOOKING INSIDE AT THE INTERIOR. THE SALESMAN, WITHOUT LOOKING WHERE I WAS, PUSHED THE TOP CONSOLE BUTTON ABOVE THE FRONT SEATS WHICH CAUSED THE SEAT TO QUICKLY AND VERY HARD TO RETRACT, STRIKING THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK, TEMPORALLY STUNNING ME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS OPTION THAT COULD SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE NOT KNOWING HOW FAST AND HARD THIS OCCURS. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY SAFETY FEATURE THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN WHILE A SMALL CHILD OR INFANT WAS IN THE SEAT AND SOMEONE ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED THE BUTTON. *JB
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.
