Body Problems of GMC Yukon - part 1

My 2026 GMC Yukon denali ultimate has had the vadar chrome peel in the first 7000 miles. After that a wiring pinch made the 4 wheel drive unusable during the winter months that I needed it to get into my driveway during summer months the infotainment center completely failed to a black screen and since does not function having the dealership tell me that it will need to be replaced. The 6. 2 motor started ticking at 25000 miles, I took it to the dealership yesterday 10/14, the dealership is keeping the vehicle for an estimated 6 weeks to tear the motor apart. The motor is making the noise where it is reported to shut down at high speeds had I not got it in when I did. The vehicle has had no warning to indicate problems.

I was open the tailgate of my truck and I am trying to put something but the tailgate closed on my back. And every time to try open it , open a few inches and close rapidly. Gm has a recall but they tell me that the recall doesn’t apply to my truck because my VIN. Power liftgate inoperable, recall number 14300.

While driving the speed limit of 75 mph, the vehicle's metal hood latch (for example: the metal piece on the underside of the hood that goes into the latch) broke causing the vehicle's hood to fly back and completely covered the windshield. This could have resulted in the tragic death of my wife and I. The windshield broke, the hinges locked in place, the hood was damaged including the hood's edges. During the pre-trip inspection, the hood was secure with no slack. There was no warning light regarding the hood. The vehicle was placed into storage until I research the proper procedures of reporting the safety hazard, so no one has inspected the vehicle.

Passenger door handle caused laceration in my sons hand. Peeling interior paint or chrome created a cut on hand. Causing it to bleed and get first aid. Noticed all door handles were in same condition. Very un safe and can repeat incidents like this to other in household.

There is a known issue with 2021-2025 GMC Yukon models with water leaking into the cabin from the sunroof or roof area. Online forums are inundated with customers of these vehicles complaining about the same issue. Gm has also sent a service bulletin out regarding kinked sunroof drains but it's also a poor decision where the welds - or lack of welds - connect the cabin to the roof. It's beyond wild that this isn't a recall yet. Gm knows they skipped a step in their qaqc and are left with a huge problem they're unwilling to fix. Water - while driving or stationary - is entering the cabin and not cleanly exiting out down through the drains via their sunroofs. I was driving and could barely see because water was dripping on my feet as well down through the ceiling by my windshield. How many people need to submit a complaint before this actually gets looked at. Do not let the mechanics "air-blow" out the drain hoses. Gm's service bulletin states these drain hoses can be kinked if so. This issue is scary and could be deadly. The weld across the roof wasn't done properly (as well, kinked drain hoses) and now people all over America have expensive vehicles with water leaking through their cabin liners into their vehicles. The damage over time will cost all of us injuries and money. This is a serious issue that's not getting looked at. Please realize the amount of people who are dealing with this and hold gm accountable.

The vehicle was parked and turned off for approximately 45 minutes on a residential street along the curb in front of a house when the rear window suddenly shattered. I was inside a nearby house at the time. A landscaper working in the area reported hearing a single loud pop and then my vehicle’s alarm sounding. He stated he was not close to the vehicle and did not see any object strike it. When I inspected the Yukon, the entire rear window had exploded outward and inward, leaving no glass remaining in place. Glass was scattered both inside the cargo area and outside behind the vehicle. The upper liftgate section had also popped open, which is consistent with the sudden pressure release that occurs during spontaneous tempered?glass failure. There are no impact marks, dents, or paint damage that would indicate a rock strike or external force. Given the circumstances, the debris pattern, and the absence of an impact point, this appears to be a spontaneous failure of the tempered liftgate glass, likely due to internal stress or a manufacturing defect. I am requesting that the dealership inspect the liftgate assembly, confirm the cause, and consider warranty coverage for the glass replacement and any related components.

Paint is blistering above windshield along entire length and around sunroof. Also down along left and right side of windshield. Beginnings of blistering top rear quarter panels closer to roof.

I am reporting a paint failure issue on my 2022 GMC Yukon involving significant paint peeling above the windshield area.

There have been several issues for which I had to take my vehicle to the dealer. I did the engine oil recall. Then 4 months later my engine was destroyed. I’ve had several issues with oil leaks. I had an issue with my running boards a few times. And I’ve had an ongoing issue that the dealer hasn’t been able to fix - a water leak (I believe stemming from the moonroof), water gets into my vehicle, on my floorboard, and behind the dash. I’ve called to record these incidents with the dealer and taken it in several times, but they are never able to duplicate it, but they have witnessed the water leakage after the incidents (which happens during heavy downpours, and isn’t all the time because my vehicle is in the garage when I’m not at work).

Rear doors opening while driving without notice. Child almost fell out of the car on main road. 2nd incident is less than 6 months. Same car.

Sunroof exploded.

The amount of rust that has been exposed is absolutely insane. My adjuster found the initial section of rust when we had the Yukon in for repairs from a storm. In the past 2 months, the rust has caused a massive hole underneath the rear passenger's side door and we have had no choice but to get it repaired. The initial estimate for this single repair is going to be over $3400. This rust easily could've broken down further and gotten into the brakes and other components right behind it as it sits very close to the wheel well. This is an absolutely dangerous issue and should be addressed.

Gm has failed to resolve repeated issues on my vehicle (VIN: [xxx] ). I was never notified of any official buyback denial. Gm customer assistance continues to avoid clarifying the status and refuses to provide documentation of the denial. This creates an unresolved safety and reliability concern. I need an investigation into the consistent mechanical defects paired with gm’s refusal to properly process my claim. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The vehicle one week after purchasing has had a tapping noise coming from engine and a rattling noise as well that you hear from the inside of vehicle. I have taken vehicle to two separate gm dealers. The first being where vehicle was purchased and they did not log in visit and basically said nothing could be done until engine breaks. The second dealer was only able to duplicate the rattling noise but had no loaner for me and advise would contact gm for next steps since a complaint has been filed. As of today nothing has been done. The second dealership also confirmed orange peel on paint and nothing either.

Engine front hood pops up into the safety latch position while driving down the road at highway speed and in cold weather or in a strong headwind.

Every time I start the vehicle and open the door and close the door, the driver side mirror, rearview mirror, either moves all the way out or moves all the way in which is a safety concerns. I can’t see the traffic on my left side and behind me.

While driving the car, the glass sunroof spontaneously exploded. It was not associated with a rock strike, no other cars were nearby, and the vehicle was not under an overpass. The noise was extremely loud, similar to a gunshot. The sun shade was closed, otherwise broken glass would have showered down on the passengers.

Faulty sunroof flooded interior while driving. Dealers and mechanics say it is a known problem. Dangerous to drive while water is running down the driver and passengers. No warnings prior.

The roof of the car has a metal defect that is causing the paint to bubble off. The manufacturer initially misdiagnosed the problem as a paint issue. The car was repainted but the paint is coming off again within a year. I am afraid that the integrity of the roof is compromised by corrosion. The manufacturer claims that the car is no longer in warranty and does not have to repair it.

Front grill is the vader chrome and it is peeling off, gm told me there is nothing that can be done and this is a well know issue and is all over the forms. This is due to poor manufacturing quality. A car this expensive should not be having these issues.

Was told by my local dealer that they did not have to complete to recall unless I signed a document holding them blameless if they cracked my dashboard or cracked it worst than it already is. I declined to sign until I could investigate why I absolutely had to sign a document absolving gm of their bad design. I believe it to be unjust and insulting that we are required to choose between the safety of our vehicles vs the possible destruction of the interior due to gm's poor design. I did not get a picture of the document before I left the dealer but was told I could bring it back later if I wanted it fixed but I would have to sign the document.

Purchased new 2014 Yukon denali in February 2015. Currently have 66,000 miles. September 2022: professional repair of the dashboard performed. Separation began June 2022. Separation of dash became larger, 2" to be exact, then the cracks appeared. Then it became noisy with rattling. According to the repair shop this is a common occurrence in some gm vehicles. GMC does not acknowledge this as a recall. February 5, 2021, our passenger side airbag was replaced by a certified gm/Chevrolet dealership due to recall. Apparently, removal and replacement of airbag can weaken the dashboard. This is an issue I will advise gm of, whether or not it will make any difference.

The paint delaminated from the clear coat in certain locations (mainly hood and roof) although the vehicle body has been well maintained. This has caused a foggy scratched appearance to the affected areas where the rest of the car looks great. This problem is well known across many gm vehicles in the 2015-2019 range and has led to significantly decreased value of the vehicle itself.

After sitting outside over night, the back door latch failed. No lights came on ahead of time and there was no other warnings on the dash. There were 22 boxes of flooring in the trunk. I made it 1. 3 miles down the road at a low speed. After sitting at a stop light I turned left and accelerated to 45mph. The hatch opened and the boxes of flooring began falling out and onto the road. Each box weighed approximately 35 lbs. Luckily there was no one directly behind me and they mostly hit a trailer I was pulling. Other than the flooring there doesn't appear to be any further damage. I suspect there was ice in the latch, but that's just a guess.

Vehicle is kept inside in a garage in pennsylvania with 53000 original miles. While driving the vehicle a heard a sound that sounded like plastic cracking, low and behold I watched a crack form beginning at the split between the upper dash panel and the larger dash and it continued over the instrument cluster. I also noticed another smaller crack in the panel surrounding the air bag, of which as also been recalled but no solution as of today. Upon researching further I find I am not alone, this is an obvious defect in either part material or assembly and should be covered by a recall. Dealer replacement for this will run around 1,000 dollars. I am worried that if I am involved in an accident not only do I have to worry about pieces of metal being propelled into a passenger now I also have to worry about plastic from a defective dash. Thank you for you attention to this matter.

My driver side back glass (quarter panel long glass) spontaneously exploded this morning with my young child in her car seat. No one was nearby, the car was in park. Nothing caused the glass to break it just randomly occurred.

The problem started a couple of years ago as a small crack in the dashboard at the upper left corner of the airbag. The crack widened and lengthened after replacement of the air bag last year. Then the dash cracked earlier this year at the crown above the instrument cluster. It has completely separated and is nearly 12” in length. Not only does it rattle to the point of driver distraction, but I would think there is a high risk of shattering during a collision potentially causing facial lacerations, blindness and the like. I really don’t want to wait to find out. According to carparts. Com, this is a well known issue with gm trucks, suburbans and Yukons from 2007 to 2014 and gm has failed to make good on the problem.

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.

I was driving my vehicle and exiting the hw. The rear wheel of the driver side broke off and separated from the car which caused my car to hit the cement beerier on front and the side of the driver side of the vehicle. Then the car turned 180 degrees and hit the beerier on the passenger side and the rear of the car. The air bags never deployed and we discovered that the wheel brook off of the rear axe. No damage to the wheel. Several industry exports stated that this should never happen.

Shortly after purchasing the vehicle in sept 2020 my onstar module failed. Started noticing water in the driver floorboard. The shark fin antenna is leaking, causing major electrical failures and shortages. No gps, onstar won't work. These fins need to be recalled and fixed properly.
