Chrome is coming off the wheels causing tires to leak air. All four outside door handles broke off due to a weak plastic design.
1. Rims are showing signs of corrosion,flaking and blistering of the chrome on the aluminum rims. 2. Vehicle has new battery installed and is being drained some how while the navigation and radio seem to be operating while the vehicle is off. This problem results into a dead battery after vehicle is parked for a several minutes. *note: no solution at this time has fixed the problems listed. I have read hundreds of complaints of this nature and a quick response would be greatly appreciated.
The contact owns a 2007 GMC Yukon. While driving approximately 45 mph the contact noticed the drivers side tire had blown out. The contact replaced the tire with the spare and drove the vehicle to a tire shop. The mechanic stated the electrolysis inside of the wheel caused damage to the tire. The front passenger side tire also blew out and was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated this was known problem but did not offer assistance. The contact had the driver and passenger side front wheel reconditioned. The mechanic advised the failure would occur again because the wheel was defective. The drivers side tire was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Several issues with vehicle. Throttle body, computer electrical system, transmission fluid and coolant leak. Door hinges rusted and hard to open doors. Chrome rims pitting and peeling. Steering column replaced. Tailgate rattles. Vehicle only has 37k miles.
