1 Structure problem

Failure Date: 11/19/2008

On my 2005 GMC Yukon denali xl, the driver upper door hinge weld connecting the hinge to the vehicle body is defective and has cracked and broken loose. I'm wondering when it might come completely apart causing a total failure in the door shutting properly. Already contacted gm and they don't believe this is a defect. I totally disagree. If using welds on the door hinges is such a great way to build vehicles, then why did they stop using welding and now use bolts?.

2 Structure problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2005

The contact stated when he was exiting the vehicle, with the engine off it began to roll down the driveway. He took the vehicle to the dealership, and they found the bolt that holds the shaft in the transmission was stripped. The bolt was replaced. Then, while exiting a parking lot, the vehicle shifted from drive to neutral on its own. The indicator still read drive, but would not go. He stated the steering column did register that the vehicle was in drive, and when driving over a bump, it shifted into neutral. The vehicle was taken to the dealership, they contacted the manufacturer, and they stated tissues normal. The dealership stated they adjusted cables, but the work order he received showed that nothing was done. The driver side mirror wasn't holding, it would fold. The navigation radio system was replaced. The headliner was replaced. Updated 01/23/06.

3 Structure problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2005

In this vehicle the console is wider and the seats are narrower. The console is in the consumer's arm area space when making a hard right turn and for any reason, the consumer would hit the console or the arm rest. Noticed this early on. Talked to GMC, they took the information and said that the engineers will contact consumer . The consumer stated no one has contacted.
