Upper arm control screw loosened up. Drilled hole on axle.
Break like when out and only solution iam being given is to replace the whole housing at 800$ and it seems this a faulty component.
At 38,000 (2018) this vehicle required a front left and rear right shock replacement due to locking up. At 61,000 miles both rear shocks locked again. This time not repaired under warranty and costing $1500 to fix. GMC care offered me $100 service voucher and no assistance on their faulty products. The GMC dealer offered me a $1500 coupon good for my next purchase or possibly $1500 toward when my front shocks have issues. What??? the $1500 coupon is good for 1 year toward the purchase of a new GMC. Everyone needs to call GMC care to complain. 1-866-790-5600 so we get reimbursed for an obvious recallable item. No vehicle less then 5 years old should need shocks replaced twice. This is my third GMC Yukon denali and my last due to GMC not working with me. Does anyone think a vehicles shocks should need to be replace twice in a 5 year life??.
Magnetic ride control issue possibly. While traveling down road, highway or side street, vehicle rides extremely rough and bounces.
My 2015 Yukon denali had a complete suspension failure on all four tires at 67,535 miles. I was told this was way too soon to be having suspension problems on this, but when diagnosed, that was the issue. I was told by my auto repair shop that it was unsafe to drive in that condition, as the steering could fail to work correctly when going through tight turns and braking. They said that it could possibly skid due to not having any shocks or struts functioning. When the vehicle was lifted, the wheels did not lower from the carriage at all due to complete failure of the suspension system. We replaced the rear shocks and front struts to address this issue. This problem did not occur all at once, but rather over a period of a couple weeks when the vehicle started to ride rougher on each tire. All four went out within a span of two weeks time.
About 2 weeks ago the vehicle had an excellent ride, then all of a sudden it had no suspension at all. It rides extremely rough and I would say very unsafe to operate.
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.
The a/c has quick working. We took it in to get fixed, they could find nothing wrong except low on freon. Replaced and it is gone (has dye in it & no detection where it has gone). I didn't drive this car for 6 mos. Because of this (too hot). I can't afford to fix everything that is going wrong on this car. Same day a/c went out, the heat system went out on the driver's side seat. Just blows cold air! this is ridiculous! the suspension is now slamming hard and super loud (especially when it is cool/cold out). I am glad they are finally fixing the brake issue but really? all this other bs on this expensive car? the day we got back from shop for the a/c, the driver side brake light was out. Omg!! talk about expensive to repair!! 650-800 for just the light assembly through GMC and that is reconditioned parts! why would we put more crap parts in? waited another 2 mos to save money to go to an aftermarket person to fix this. Just waiting on the other side to go out! lights go out all the time, why would you make them where they are not affordable? we baby our car, park away from everyone and yet it is falling apart due to the crappy products that gm used to manufacture it. All these problems happened (except the braking issue and the suspension) when I went to start the car and I noticed it. The suspension is when I am driving and the road can just have a 'wave" in it. If there is any sort of bounce, this car will bottom out and is super loud. The air started 3/28/19 and all has followed. We bought it used with 74k-ish on it. Have only had it since last July, 2018.
2015 GMC Yukon sle. Consumer writes in regards to pressure booming sensation while driving vehicle.
At certain speeds my vehicle vibrates, like a grinding sound at speeds between 50-55. This is a safety risk because I have children and grandchild that frequently ride with me. I have taken my vehicle back to the dealership and they say it is no codes and send it back to me without fixing the problem. My vehicle has not been inspected by anyone except the gm dealership. I got my vehicle Nov. 2018 and this started happening between Dec. 2018 and Jan. 2019. My check engine light did appear and was flashing around this time. In 2019 I had to replace the rear shocks and I believe they are not working properly now.
Tl- the contact owns 2015 GMC Yukon denali. The contact stated that the vehicle had an aggressive shake at 40 to 60 mph as well as 70 mph while at a highway rate of speed such as the "death wobble". The dealer charles boyd Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC service, 250 ruin creek rd, henderson, nc 27536, 1-(252) 654-4593h ad been notified of the failure several times but had been unable to replicate and diagnose the failure so the contact was uncertain if the vehicle may be repaired. In addition, the vehicle was serviced for NHTSA campaign number: 18v586000 (steering) however the remedy for the recall provided no specific solution to prevent the failure that the vehicle was exhibiting as well concerning the steering and suspension. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting to determine if they may be able to provide a permanent remedy. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000. Dyd.
Front right and left rear shock have leak fluid causing the vehicle handling to be come erratic when driving over road imperfections. 2015 with z95 magnetic ride suspension has approximately 60k miles.
Replaced both front struts at around 91,000 miles. Dealer said struts had "locked up". Dealer replaced struts on February 19, 2018 at a cost of $1,818. 66. Led brake lights quit working. Not sure of exact date when the brake lights quit working.
Purchase a used 2015 Yukon denali 1 year ago and have had issues with both shocks and ac. The shocks are the air ride and all 4 had to be replaced. This was a huge expense because my truck surpassed the mileage even though it was within the date range. My ac also resently stopped working. I received a letter from gm 1day after ac went out notifying me about a know issue with a leaking compressor. I took it to the dealership the next day and thought it would be covered to replace. I then found out that since it was over mileage it wasn't under warranty. I questioned what mileage ad to do with a know defective compressor but was told they could not do anything. The cost to replace it was quoted at $1,200.
My vehicle has a significant vibration when traveling 40mph and above with a rear window down. The vibration is also accompanied by increased cabin pressure. These issues are causing headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Dealership confirms issue and tried to repair, but unable to. The vibration started right after we took delivery of the car and has only gotten worse. We bought the car in October 2015 and the issue continues unfixed to this day after 5 visits.
I have spent over $2000 on a less than 2 year old vehicle because the shocks/struts did not hold up. I know of 4 other people within my small community who have had this same problem on either GMC Yukon or chevy tahoe. It feel certain this is no coincidence.
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.
Vehicle vibrates during driving speeds above 35 mph. Had tired rotated and balanced, still vibrated, replaced tires and received 4 wheel alignment, still shakes bad. When traveling at speeds above 35, seats starts to shake as if you are traveling over a bad bumpy road. This occurs both on city streets and highways.
Driving in snowy conditions with the vehicle in 4wd, began navigating a turn and the vehicle seemed to shift into neutral, and the dash displayed the "4wd shift on progress" on the dash without driver touching the 4wd buttons. Could not steer or brake or do anything. Vehicle ended up hitting a wall causing a fair amount of damage. Vehicle does not go in for repairs until next week but the dealership made it sound like it's a transfer case issue which appears to be a known issue on these vehicles.
When coming to a stop there would be a sudden surge and it felt like the vehilce was being pushed forward. There has been a few occasions where we almost hit something in front of us because of this surge. There was a bad shutter though out the vehicle at 30 to 50 mph. Made complaints to dealer. They couldn't duplicate the problem. This was at roughly 6k miles at the time of the first oil change. At 10k miles the vehicle stalled out and died in our drive way after putting it into reverse to back out. The vehicle rolled back into the street as our driveway is at a incline with out any functions or controls. Lucky traffic was light and they were able to avoid hitting us. I was able to start it eventually and drove its strait to the dealership. They found the torque converter went bad and replaced it. Complained about the rough ride, noises and loose feel coming from the front end several times at 20,000 miles and 30,000 miles. When driving the vehicle over bumps while in a curve the vehicle would jerk to the side pulling the steering wheel hard to the side it was pulled towards. There were a few occasions where we almost hit a vehicle or concrete wall. They finally replace some components on the front end. No more noises from the front end for about 2,000 miles and then it comes back. The shutter is back along with erratic shifting. Service replaces the torque converter again at 45,000 miles. This time it last a little bit long and I don't start having issue with the torque converter until nearly 60,000 miles. The front end still pops, creaked and feels loose at times and the torque convertor is still failing.
