general problems of the 2007 GMC Yukon - part 2

Rear hatch/lift gate has no manual handle to open. When unlocking power locks rear hatch will not open, there is no way to open lift gate from inside or outside of vehicle. If an accident would happen there would be no way out of rear of vehicle. Rear hatch will not open at all, it is all electronic and will not open. This is a common problem for all gm SUV's. Have contacted GMC and they don't seem to about issue.

My engine speed reduced abruptly while traveling speed of 65mph on the freeway. This has almost caused an accident several times. A reduced engine speed, service stabilization track and service traction control signs come on. If I pull over and wait 1 minute it starts and doesn't do again for 15 minutes. Sometimes this doesn't happen for a week. I read forums and it appears to be a faulty throttle body, and only with gm vehicles, but gm fails to request a recall. Some have spent hundreds of dollars to replace, and it still does not fix the problem.

Takata recall gm recall#49151 I have been in 1 car accident and my airbags did not activate at all when the impact was substantial enough for them to inflate.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the headlights would fail intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired. One month later while driving approximately 15 mph with the radio activated, the radio stopped working, the air conditioner stopped blowing cold air, and the instrument cluster lights were flickering off and on. In addition, the vehicle started to vibrate abnormally. The vehicle later stalled and was able to be restarted and taken to the dealer. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and there were no repairs. She had not contacted the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 42,000 and the current mileage was 42,030.

2007 gms Yukon xl has had numerous issues with air venting system becoming stuck in defrost mode. 8/30/07 service actuator was replaced. Again on 7/01/08 I had the actuator replaced. 2/20/09 issue occurred again same actuator was replaced for 3rd time along with new programming for hvac control head. Now 6/28/10 I'm having the same problem again. Danger of this issue is in the summer months fogging of the external windshield happers vision and automate wiper will not kick on due to moisture not reaching senor at top of windshield. However, vision becomes impaired and very dangerous at night when driving. Appears to be a know widespread issue based on mechanics note of numerous bulletins being issued on concern. No fix has worked to date.

The check engine/service stabilitrak/engine power reduced light comes on frequently yet the GMC dealer cannot pinpoint the problem. Potentially a connection to recall of cars equipped with heated windshield washer fluid feature. Did detect a slight odor shortly after using the windshield washer fluid and the indicator lights started flashing and the car slowed down considerably on the highway during inclement weather. Thus far nothing has corrected the problem; we are hoping to get the car back to our home state so the dealer can work on resolving this hazard.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Yukon denali. When the contact activated the air conditioning, he smelled a strange odor. He turned off the air conditioning and the engine and exited the vehicle. Five minutes later, the vehicle was in flames. The fire department extinguished the fire and filed a report. There were no injuries. The insurance company has not yet investigated the cause of the fire. The fire department stated that it could have been an electrical fire. The failure mileage was 28,000.

The back up camera went fuzzy and then quit working, the dvd player, stereo and turn signals all quit working. I had to turn the car off before it would start working again. On the way home everything quit working again, it was several days before it would work.

My husband was driving I was in the passenger seat when the drivers seat all of the sudden went all the way forward and the back of the seat went straight up, so that my husbands face was in the steering wheel and his legs were jammed up under the steering wheel. He was able to pull off the side of the road ok. The service air bag light came on,the vehicle was running very rough and using alot of gas( 9 miles to the gallon) 3rd row seat will not stay locked in place( lock to the floor) auto garage door opener in car will not work.

2007 GMC Yukon denali accelerated without warning. Consumer states that vehicle surged forward after completing a lane change and the brakes would not stop the vehicle. Consumer states that he turned the vehicle off then pulled into a parking lot. The dealer was unable to duplicate the consumers concern.

There is a major electrical problem with SUV I bought the denali because that is suppose to be the best but it has been far from it. . . My nav screen dose not work it has been replaced twice and still dose not work. . My power running boards do not work and the have been replaced as well. My back-up camera dose not work because the monitor is the nave screen. The back up sensors do not work,the power flip down seats do not work and the power tail gate dose not open . . . It is extremely upsetting because I bought the denali for $60,000. 00 and GMC's promise is we are professional grade and this is not the case here. . . .

Ii have had my 2007 Yukon since sept 2006. Approx 3 weeks ago I began to have trouble getting the vehicle started. When turning the key, it had to be held for about 20-30 seconds before it would finally crank up. Vehicle has been taken to dealership 4 times and is currently still there. I have been told a variety of reasons for the way my car starts that it is a normal "extended start", that they cannot duplicate my problem, and that the vehicle was just programmed that way. I know they have heard the problem because the service manager stood by me while I cranked the vehicle to demonstrate the problem! if the car had a normal "extended start" or was programmed to strat like that it should have been doing it since I purchased the vechile in sept 06 on not just starting to have the problem now in June 07.
