| Wheel problems |
When driving between 40-70 miles an hour. I feel a vibration somewhere in the vehicle. The vibration feels like u are rolling over rumble strips. This happens time and time again on the highway, while in motion only.
The wheels have corrosion and sharp edges have started to form. These sharp edges are putting pressure on the the tires causing them to lose air. We were required to purchase new wheels as the only solution. Wheels should last the life of a vehicle, not four years.
During maneuver in parking lot trying to turn around steering got extremely stiff which resulted in me running into side walk, ramp. The only part of my vehicle that was damage was the driver side front wheel. Curb rash beyond repair. At the time I was not aware of vehicle recall and did not file an accident report.
My GMC Yukon xl vibrates badly at all speeds but intensifies at speeds between 40-55. The vibration can be felt through the whole frame of the car. The cabin creates a throbbiing sound, like a helicopter inside the car. The steering wheel vibrates. The car consumes oil at an alarming rate with no visible leaks or noticable exhaust. The car surges unexpectedly somethines around corners or backing out of parking spots. And the rear "clunks" when accelerating from a slow speed such as onto a highway entrance ramp. The rearview camera a is totally worthelss in low light levels and cannot be used for safe back up operations. Dealer has had the car for over 50 days and has replaced the transmission, replaced the torque converter, has replaced the struts and shocks and has changed fluisd as per gm instruction. In all this time and over 6 visits, they cannot fix and have told me that gm has said this is the "new normal". If this is normal, why did they spend so much to try and fix somethig that was not wrong? the dealer also told me that the rear view camera will not work properly becuase of all of the factory options on the car and that degrades the quoality of the image. Gm has not contacted me although I have requested through the dealer that they do so. I see this is a common problem with GMC cars of this years model. I woul dlike to see action taken against GMC to correct this or make me whole.
I purchased our 2015 GMC Yukon xl in October of 2014. I have been dealing with noise coming from the tires for about a year now. I have taken the vehicle in for service and had many parts replaced only for the noise to come right back. My vehicle only has 40,000 miles and all the tires are wearing to the point that belts are now showing. When talking to continental these factory tires have an 80,000 mile warranty but that tire wear warranty does not cover factory tires. After calling GMC, continental and my local dealer, I finally was told they would give me $250 toward new tires but I could only use that toward the purchase of continental tires. Recently there was a recall on the same tires that are on my vehicle for all the problems I have been having. When I called continental, I was told that my tires are not included in the recall. How can I have the exact same issues that are described in the recall but there is nothing I can do about it because my dot is not in the 1 month recall. I have now had to spend $1000 to purchase new tires for a vehicle that has only 40,000 miles on it and cost $70,000 to purchase 2 years ago.
Thread of the left back tire flowered up and it popped while driving on a highway, never seen anything like that on a flat. A collision almost took place, my husband was almost smashed between the concrete wall and the truck while trying to check the tire, on star response was going to take 1hr 45 min. After getting to a safe place we checked the other 3 tires and notice the right rear tire presented missing part of the tire wall as a puzzle piece missing, tires had exactly 30k miles with this trip. Tires are continental p275-55r20-111s we told the dealer tires are defective.
Tl-the contact owns a 2015 Yukon denali xl. The contact stated that while driving at 20 mph the driver's side front wheel and axle fractured which caused the vehicle to crash into a parked vehicle. The contact stated that the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a fractured finger and cerebral hemorrhaging, which required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was unavailable. Ah.
Vibration though car at high speeds since car is new. Dealer replaced one tire and that cured problem for a short period. Have returned vehicle to dealer several times for the reoccurring problem and it has not been addressed correctly received recall letter from continental tire due to vibration issues. My vehicle is not equipped with tires containing date code affected by the recall. The make, model, and size of tires does match recall. I believe there is a larger issue covering a much larger period of time of tire manufacture and my car should be included in recall. For the most part have stopped driving the car for fear of a tire blowing out or damaging the vehicle.
