Travelling on an FM road, going 55 when Yukon began accelerating on its own, even when I took foot off the accelerator. tapped brakes, thinking cruise control had engaged. Vehicle swerved violently. Speed kept increasing. Saw I was traveling 75mph! Braked hard! Felt as if acceleration was fighting against the brakes. Then spun out in the middle of the highway, spinning around 1 1/2 times while fully braking. Finally I slowed enough to throw it into park, regardless of what it might do to my transmission, I had to stop the vehicle. I came to rest straddling the lane I had been in and the oncoming lane, facing the direction from which I came. Traffic behind me had seen my struggles in time to stop back far enough that they weren’t endangered and there was no oncoming traffic at that moment. The fuel propulsion system (throttle?) seems to be at fault. There was no warning on the dash about any issue prior to this. The issue was real, a danger to myself and others. A mechanic examined the vehicle and discovered accumulation of debris on top of connector under the hood. He believed just enough water caused the conductivity needed to trigger the acceleration. State that these vehicles allow more intrusion from wheel well area than most. He thoroughly cleaned all connectors and no further issues have happened (yet!) Further research uncovered a report on ‘Sudden Unintended Acceleration’.

THE BRAKES ON MY07 YUKON WORK INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AT SPEEDS OF 15MPH TO 20 MPH BRAKES FAIL TO ENGAGE AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS.

THERE IS CRACKS APPEARING ON THE DASH ALL ALONG THE AIRBAGS HOUSING COMPARTMENT AND PART OF THE AIR BAG IS EXPOSED . I'M VERY AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAG WILL GO OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING BECAUSE THE DASH IS SO CRACKED IT'S BARELY HOLDING THE BAG IN . I'M ALSO WORRIED IT WILL AFFECT THE SAFETY COMPONENTS AND NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT BEING EXPOSED TO SOME ELEMENTS DUE TO THE CRACKS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED KEPT AND ALWAYS PROFESSIONALLY MAINTAINED SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE DID OR DID NOT DO I BELIEVE IT'S CHEAP MATERIAL ON THE DASH CAUSING THIS TO OCCUR. ANOTHER BIG ISSUE IS THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE ADJUSTABLE AND HAVE COMPLETELY COME UNDONE AND FALLEN OFF THE ADJUSTABLE MECHANISM WHILE I WAS DRIVING . I CALLED THE COMPANY AND SHE SAID SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME SOON AND IT'S BEEN A MONTH I'VE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM. IT WAS A TERRIFYING ORDEAL TO BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE OR BRAKE . I WAS SO SCARED FOR MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY AS WE WERE ALL IN THE CAR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

AS I WAS WALKING TO MY TRUCK, I HIT THE BUTTON (AS I HAVE ALWAYS DONE) TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG EXPLODED AND CRASHED THE WINDSHIELD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DOOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE WINDOWS FAILED TO OPEN AND CLOSE AND THE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 219,000.

WHEN DRIVING, IF ADJUSTING STEERING WHEEL POSITION IP OR DOWN, ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF. I SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RE START ENGINE WITHOUT ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I MOVE THE COLUMN

HAPPENED TWO TIMES YESTERDAY. 2007 YUKON DENALI ODOMETER: 191,707 ENGINE HOURS: 1443.9 FIRST, STABILITRAK CONTROL TURNED OFF AND ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED ILLUMINATED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER OF THE DASH BOARD. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 20 MPH. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO PUSH THE GAS PETAL THERE WOULD BE A SHUTTER IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND TRIED RESTARTING. SAME ISSUES CONTINUED. I LIMPED TO MY WORK A LESS THAN A MILE AWAY TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING AS I HAD MYSELF AND 4 KIDS IN THE CAR AFTER TRICK OR TREATING. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND WAITED FOR A BIT WHILE I READ ONLINE WHAT WAS CAUSING THIS. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN AS NORMAL. SAFETY RISK WHEN YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH ON A 45 MILE PER HOUR ROAD. SECOND OCCURANCE WAS A FEW HOURS LATER. I TURNED THE CAR ON TO LEAVE AND THE SAME THINGS HAPPENED, THIS TIME IT WAS DRIVING LIKE I HAD LOST MY POWER STEERING AND NO ENGINE POWER. LUCKILY, AGAIN, I WAS IN A SPOT TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE, TURN THE CAR OFF AND MADE IT HOME OKAY. THIS CAR HAS A BRAND NEW ENGINE. UPON READING HERE AND SOME OTHER THINGS ONLINE IT SEEMS THE STABILITRAK HAS NUMBEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME THING. LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN IN A SPOT WHERE IT DIDN'T BECOME DANGEROUS AND I KNEW WHAT TO DO BASED ON READING HERE. I USE MY YUKON FOR WORK SO CAN'T HAVE THIS HAPPENING AND IT'S DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF, MY KIDS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD IF THEY HAPPEN TO BE BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAPPENS. HOPEFULLY WITH ENOUGH COMPLAINTS SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE INCLUDED A PIC OF THE SYMBOL THAT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

The side air bags on the passenger and driver side front and back deployed while driving down the road. The driver side airbag hit my 19 year old son in the side of the face hard enough to cause his ears to ring. There was not a reason for the air bags to go off spontaneously. He had to pull to the side of the road blindly because he didn’t know if he had been hit by another vehicle. We have filed a complaint with GMC. This could have caused a serious wreck injuring my son or someone else on the road due to the shock and force of the air bags hitting him and the inability to see after they deployed. Yes it is available for inspection.

DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT BUCKLE UNLATCHES AT RANDOM TIMES WITHOUT BEING TOUCHED. DRIVING OR STATIONARY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT WILL NOT LATCH. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PIECE MISSING INSIDE THE BUCKLE.

VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE

TWO CRACKS ON FRONT DASHBOARD AT APPROXIMATELY 7 YEARS. A MECHANIC HAD TO REMOVE THE DASH FOR A REPAIR AND THE SMALL EXISTING CRACK GREW INTO A JAGGED TEN INCH CRACK UP ONTO THE DASH COWLING.

AFTER TAKING A ONLINE SAFETY COARSE I WAS INSTRUCTED ON ADJUSTING MY OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS FOR BETTER VIEWING OF BLACK VIEWS FROM MY INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR.. AFTER DOING SO,BEING THE ONLY DRIVER, THE MIRRORS STAYED THE SAME...AFTER SOME TIME I READ IN MY MANUAL THAT I COULD FOLD MY SIDE MIRRORS IN AND SO I TRIED TO DO SO . MY DRIVER OUTSIDE MIRROR WOULD NOT FOLD. IT ONLY MADE A CLICKING SOUND..I THEN TRIED MY RIGHT SIDE MIRROR AND IT WORKED BUT AS I TRIED TO ADJUST MY RIGHT SIDE MIRROR IT STOPPED ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE MIRROR VIEW. I HAVE ADJUSTED THE VIEW ANGLE JUST A FEW TIMES AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE TRIED TO FOLD THE MIRRORS IN. I'M TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PLASTIC HARDWARE ON SUCH A NICE VEHICLE.. *TR

WHEN OPENING THE HATCH OR BACK OF THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHTS WILL GO ON AND OFF AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START UP. YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR 5 MINUTES SOMETIMES LONGER FOR THE ENGINE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WILL BE IN STATIONARY, I HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IF I AM GOING TO OPEN THE BACK IF I DON'T IT MESSES UP ALL THE GAGES IN FRONT AND WILL NOT OPERATE.

REAR DRIVER TAIL LIGHT WIRING DOES NOT WORK. PUT NEW BULBS IN AND ONLY THING THAT WORKS ARE THE BRAKE AND REVERSE LIGHT. THERE IS NO RUNNING LIGHT THAT COMES ON

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR LOWER, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD. THERE IS ALSO A HARSH POUNDING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE DEALER CHANGED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT CANNOT TELL WHEN THE GEAR IS IN NEUTRAL. THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS INACCURATE SPEEDS AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THE PLASTIC ON THE WINDOW FELL OFF AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE STICKS WHEN IT IS PULLED, AND WILL NOT GO BACK IN. THE CONTACT HEARS A RUBBING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,229. UPDATE 09/10/08 *CW THE LUG NUT CAPS WERE MISSING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE GAS CAP WAS NOT SEALING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE GAS CAP. UPDATED 09/15/08. *JB

THIS NEW VEHICLE HAS SHIFTING PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL REVERSE WHEN YOU STOMP ON THE GAS. IT DOESN'T RESPOND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT IF YOU PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT GET THE ACCELERATION NEEDED TO AVOID IMPACT. THE TRANSMISSION GOES CRAZY. THE LOCAL GMC CERTIFIED REPAIR SERVICE TECH SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO TRY TO WORK ON THE SYSTEM. GMC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS. IT WILL ACTUALLY MISS AND LOOSE RPM'S WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IN MOUNTAIN TERRAINS. IT IS ONLY SOMEWHAT RELIABLE IN HIGHWAY TRAVEL THAT IS FLAT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED SOON IF NOT ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *JB
