general problems of the 2005 GMC Yukon - part 2

The contact owns a 2005 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to immediately restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 147,000.

Purchased new Yukon denali xl on 3/19/05. Initially my husband and I noticed the seat position memory was faulty. Problem was minor did not report it. Replaced the head lights every 2 months ~ drove us crazy but we did not complain. Less than 8 months paint on the console and accessory buttons peeled. Finally on 3/2/07 I was driving to work and got a transmission hot message. Furious and concerned I drove straight to the dealer for assistance. Later that day I find out that my less than two year old truck costing about $50,000 needed a new radiator and coolant system, replaced radiator hoses upper and lower,heater hoses, replaced coolant jug, replaced thermostat, replace bypass hose and truck needed an extensive engine block cooling flush, further indicating that the transmission and radiator fluid mixed - totaling $2,100. Truck was in the shop on 1/12/07 for regular scheduled maintenance, which included inspection of the radiator, coolant system and hoses. On 3/6/07, called to check on my truck to find out that there was slight damage to the transmission; however, the advisor stated " I would not get the transmission replaced right now, just begin a service for a new vehicle" just the words you want to hear after wasting your money on a luxury SUV. I contacted GMC customer care and they indicated there are no recalls on the issue. After doing an in depth online search I am now aware that many people have had the same problem. GMC as well as the dealer act as if it's not a big deal so owners have not pressed the issue. Many owners state that they are not interested in the run around so they get the car repaired and don't pursue the issue. This matter needs immediate attention and possible recalls. No automobile should have transmission / radiator/ coolant/ electrical (head light) /memory malfunction or cheap interior issues within 2 yrs. GMC needs to step up to the plate and except responsibility for their poorly manufactured Yukon denali.

Automatic transmission mode (4x4, 4x2, awd) shifting problems and changing from selection by itself; recurring in nature; vehicle dragging; abrupt jerking - multiple incidents and multiple repairs; only constant is that the problem always comes back and continues to this day; only service provider to have worked on this issue is swope GMC in louisville, ky. .

June 16, 2005 my wife and I purchased a new 2005 GMC Yukon denali. Excited to have our new vehicle we figured everything must work, it's new. We found out the next day non of the functions in the memory package worked. We called the salesman who insisted we were not operating it correctly. The daytime running lights also did not work. I took the truck back to the dealer on 6/20/05 and the salesman took in into service after he could not figure it out. Service did not know what was wrong either. Now our brand new 40+ thousand dollar truck is sitting at jkoons pontiac-GMC in virginia and they have no clue whats wrong.

Air conditioning turns to extreme heat while driving! danger for driver.
