| Suspension problems |
Magneride defect - struts leaking !!! 85,000 miles this is unacceptable- car is dangerous- bouncing - rough ride- shaky- jerking should be a recalll! look it up online- many many complaints!.
According to dealership front and back suspension - shock &/or struts - according to all complaints online it could be the magnetic ride control- car is a danger!!!!!! this car bounces all over the place - rides rough and bumpy!!! this should not be happening at 84k miles!.
Transmission failed on the freeway with no signs signaling issue before hand at 109,000 miles. Also lane departure does not work often. And suspension gave out at 60,000 miles.
Noting that prior to this we only had one issue with transmission and we did the flush and it did fine for several thousand of miles. Fast forward to a few days ago. As I was driving down the highway I came to a stop at the red light. Once it was green and I pressed on the accelerator with my foot per usual. And it did not move it pushed the gas peddle and nothing at all happened. I was stuck in the highway could not move until I’m assuming the transmission finally shifted jarring my entire car and it allowed me to get to a safe place at 20 miles an hour max. Keep in mind I was in the middle of the highway not knowing what was happening. With my precious babies in the car. Thanking god we were not injured. This problem is so common and notorious among GMC Yukons 2017 year models. It’s saddening that now I have a car note on a car that will not go. Transmissions are back ordered who knows when I can have my car back this economy is horrible trying to stay afloat. And now we have a vehicle that won’t drive and no time forks of when it can drive. This needs to be addressed ASAP. Other people are dealing with the same things and GMC need to make this safety concern a thing of the past. Make a recall.
1. )rear brakes are not functioning properly. They still have pads but when you press down to pump the brake it fails. I was told by a mechanic that they other GMC vehicles have had recalls on this, but mine is not showing one. 2. )the suspension on this vehicle has never worked properly. It rides extremely rough. It has some special suspension in it from a shock perspective, but it feels as if it often fails. 3. ) I had to replace the torque converter in this vehicle last year, and the fluid that runs through it. Apparently this is a known issue with no recall. 4. ) the transmission slips when the vehicle shifts gears. It shifts hard. Also a known issue with no recall.
The contact owns a 2017 GMC Yukon denali. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle started bouncing. The contact stated that the transmission also failed to shift properly. The service engine and suspension warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that a bearing had detached, and the transmission had failed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 89,400.
The paint on the hood is peeling/flaking and is degraded. Right air shock is leaking causing the vehicle to continually pump up. I have the tow package, and with the air shock leaking, it does me no good. My air conditioner has not been cooling for a while. I started noticing it when it was hot in December, 2022. Would have thought it was a simple leak. The port valves have been changed. Air is still not blowing cold. My vehicle uses the r1234yf which is very expensive per can. After spending $72,000 on a vehicle, you would think that it would not be failing so soon. I understand 1) there is a class action lawsuit regarding the peeling/flaking of the paint; 2) that the ac condenser has a recall and also, the "leaky" air shock; however, my VIN is not included in any of these recalls. Upon the pleading and begging for recall information on brake lights and the brake system, those after sometime, were actually fixed by the dealer. I feel like I purchased a lemon. This was supposed to be my forever vehicle. To make matters worse, my vehicle display freezes when you are driving down the road, which includes while you have navigation on, I guess I will just get lost. I have had warnings about parking/collision alert just not working and will not let you push the button to turn it back on. I am not understanding why all of what is happening. I work everyday and have to take off work to take it to the dealership. I have never been so disappointed in a gm product, my vehicle is a piece of crap. I have an appointment at the dealership on April 19, 2023, we will see where this will take me.
I purchased a 2017 GMC Yukon denali brand new off the showroom floor. I have maintained the services thru GMC dealership. I had to replace the struts and rear and front shocks due to hydraulic system leaking and locking up my brakes and causing extra pressure on my braking system to stop my vehicle. This cost me over $5000 to replace out of my pocket and I saw there was a previous recall in 2019 for similar problem but I was told my issues were not covered under the recall. I have also had to replace both taillights within 2years of purchasing my brand new vehicle and now they are out again. This will be my second time having to replace the led tail lights that cost over $375 light which were stated as never go out of lifetime guarantee. You cannot just replace the bulb you have to replace the whole tail light which takes weeks to come in and then additional labor costs. The previous.
The contact owns a 2017 GMC Yukon denali. The contact stated that while driving over a bump in the road at various speeds, the vehicle became air borne. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and informed him that the struts failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the parts being on back order. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
There is a known issue with the GMC strutts leaking. I contacted several GMC dealerships to purchase strutts so that a local mechanic could put fix my truck without the dealership pricing. GMC refuses to sell the parts to anyone other than a dealership. I was informed by several dealerships the part is a national back order for 6 months. The cost that gm is making for each person that purchased a 2017 denali is between two to four thousand dollars!! while driving my truck myself and my daughter would come out of the seat! this should be a recall. I'm also reporting this to the consumer financial protection bureau. I phoned this in a month ago and have heard nothing.
Front magnetic shocks quickly failed, part no. Sk3354. Part has been on backorder for over a month, which means it is failing on many vehicles. Part is known by repair shops to be defective, but they say the replacement part lasts longer. Gm should pay something toward replacing this defective part, which is on many of their vehicles. Failure of this part causes vehicle to bounce excessively which makes the vehicle more difficult to control.
My 2017 GMC Yukon denali continues to have a very loud shudder sound as you accelerate.
Brake failure after recall was done brakes still fail was driving and was braking the pedal went in all the way and the Yukon xl denali did not stop also have bad fuel injectors took it to the dealership and they dont know what fuel injectors go on the SUV also gm doesnt know they have to take apart the engine to find out what fuel injectors they put on the engine they wont give me a car rental and does not all the fuel injectors are on back order there is 3. Types high pressure low pressure and they dont know the fuel injector that was used I paid over 90,000 with taxes and interest on this 2017 Yukon xl denali and they have replaced 3 shocks, brake vacuum pump, brake and rotors they had to repaint the feont bumper rear bumper hood and back door and now the fuel injectors with only 37,500 miles this SUV is a junk and now I believe all gm cars are now junk.
My vehicle transmission went out motor mounds went out and seat stopped working at condensor went out. And a few other things. SUV is a 2017 we have already spent over 11,000 in 2 years fixing it now the ac is 2400 to get fixed.
