Latches/locks/linkage Problems of GMC Yukon - part 2

Door handle on the driver's door separated from the outside door handle/latch assembly. The entire assembly for both driver's side doors were separating from the vehicle doors. When the driver's door handle completely came off the vehicle it could be reinserted, however it was not connected to the latch to function as a means to enter the vehicle. Pulling on the handle to open the door was not functional. The door handles will first begin to separate from the door and then eventually the handle/latch functionality is lost. I had to pay the GMC dealership $401. 44 to replace the entire outside handle assemblies for both of the driver's side doors.

First owner of a 2009 GMC Yukon has had 3 door lock failures, which not only qualifies under the lemon law, but also poses a major safety issue. The first door lock failed. GMC does not consider door locks as a warranty item or safety item so I was forced to pay for a replacement. The next week, another door lock failed. The dealer did not charge for the replacement. Now, a third door lock failed only 10 days after the last repair. Why is this a safety concern? my child was able to open the door while all doors were locked. Due to e failure, the door was unlocked unknowingly. My child and any child or person risks falling out of a moving vehicle. Secondly, should a car accident occur, unlocked doors could result in a door opening and ejecting the passenger leading to death. There is a flood of complaints on the web for this issue. GMC has not owned up to it, but due to the major safety issues, this should be investigated and faulty actuators and the known pattern failure in wiring harness causing the failures should be addressed as an immediate recall.

I have a 2008 GMC Yukon xl - I have had the drivers door and the back door on the drivers side's lock fixed while under warranty, now the passenger side front and back door locks are not working. The only way to unlock these doors is to crawl into the vehicle and manually lock and unlock them.

2008 denali xl - door lock failures. 1st repair was under warranty @ 34000 miles, replaced left rear door lock. 2nd repair was 8/4/10 for left front and right rear door locks replaced for $487. 00 @ 40,000 miles (over warranty). Dealer explained that many 2008 & 2009 GMC denalis have been coming in with door lock failures. This is a safety hazard as you cannot unlock the rear doors from the outside when a child is in a carseat for instance. Should be a recall.

Chrome peeling of on interior door handles that creates sharp edges that cut fingers. Really have to be careful in order to not cut fingers when exiting auto.

The chrome is peeling off the interior passenger side door handle on my 2007 GMC Yukon denali xl. Two different passengers have had their fingers sliced open. Also, the back drivers side door hung the front door when it was being opened and bent front door.

We own a 2007 GMC Yukon denali. My 8 year old son's thumb on his right had was trapped in the hinge on the rear passenger door, as he was exiting the vehicle. While he was exiting the front passenger seat, as my other children opened of the rear passenger door his thumb was nearly completely severed by the hinge. The hinge is completely exposed, there is no safety mechanism, cover, or preventive feature. The hinge combined with the weight of the door, moves the hinge opening from roughly and inch opening to a zero clearance area. The hinges cross over top of each other with the two edge planes of each part acting similar to a bolt cutter or tree limb cutter. One of the edge planes has a relief cut which acts as a trap as very little movement of the door eliminates the option of pulling back a finger or small hand. If you were to sit in the front passenger seat, open door and exit as one normally would, simply dropping your arm straight down puts your hand(fingers) at risk. The only reason his thumb was not severed is because the children exiting the car stopped opening the door and closed it so he could take his thumb out. Had the door opened all the way his thumb would have been lost. As it remains we spent several hours in an emergency room, he had to have 4 stitches and an xray. Because it was on the joint no bones where broken. A terrible accident that very easily could have been prevented.

Rear driver side door lock will only open manually. The key fob and electronic mechanisms to unlock this door no longer work. The rear passenger door now operates in the same manner (it doesn't). I see a significant number of people encountering the same problem.

Door lock failure. Power locks on 3 out of 4 doors have failed within the first 30,000 miles, under normal usage. Over $600 to repair two doors, but failed again. This is a potential safety hazard as these doors cannot be unlocked and then opened from the outside.

2007 denali with 22,000 miles had a liftgate failure. After a $78. 00 diagnosis at local dealer the repair estimate was $450. 00. According to gm customer service personnel the repair is not under warranty, and further more because we purchased it used it won't be eligible for any assistance from gm either. While evaluating problem I noticed there is no egress possible from inside while problem exists. This seems like a very dangerous condition because an emergency that disables typical egress through doors would leave the rear liftgate as only choice to escape from fire or water for instance.

Have same problem regarding interior door handles - chrome treatment begins to peel and peeling chrome is very sharp resulting in cuts to fingers and hands. Poor chroming process resulting in product failure. Handles need to be replaced.

I have a 2002 GMC Yukon xl and it does not have the latch system. I learned from the local sheriff's office that all vehicles manufactured in the year 2002 and after should have the latch system.

Upon taking delivery of vehicle erratic electrical problem existed. Often only the front doors would like, leaving the back doors and rear door unlocked. Often upon inserting key in ignition, drivers seat would zoom forward pushing occupant against steering wheel. While driving, outside rear view mirrors would retract for no reason. Dealer has not been able to fix though many service notes exist. Lately, the amp gauge failed however amperage is not affected. Next the speedometer showed 38 mph while not moving. It is totally now inoperative, varying from never leaving zero to showing 80 while going 20 mph. Since I cannot trust the accuracy of any gauge, I have no idea how fast I am driving or any of the other vital instrument readings.

2008 door actuaters.

2008 GMC Yukon door actuators going out repeatedly. I have to manually unlock the door instead of being able to use my key remote as the drivers side and 2 passenger doors have gone out. This becomes a safety issue as I am at my business until 9pm and would like to unlock my door by remote.

The back glass on our 2004 GMC Yukon xl broke at the right hinge at first. We hardly ever opened the back glass, so that shouldn't have been an issue. Today the left back glass hinge broke. I have searched for a recall on this, however there isn't one. GMC is aware and acknowledges the problem but isn't willing to repair the issue. Found many forums where other GMC & chevy owners are facing the same problem. It can be fixed for around $1000. 00 but since it is apparently a defect on their end. . . . . Why should we have to pay for it? please help!!!.

2007 gm Yukon xl, front interior door handles have peeling chrome paint that cut fingers when opening doors.

I have just purchased a used 2007 Yukon slt, on a daily basis my family and I experience small cuts on our hands and fingers, by opening the interior car doors. The latches become extremely sharp at the top seems. I have had to teach my children how to avoid getting cuts. I have had the car for five days and we have sustained cuts for five days. How long should this go on??.

Interior door handles with chrome treatment begins to peel and peeling chrome is very sharp resulting in some serious cuts to fingers and hands. Poor chroming process resulting in product failure. Dealerships difficult to deal with on the issue. No official gm warranty service bulletin as of yet. Handles need to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2006 GMC Yukon denali. The contact stated that the vehicle blower motor failed. The blower motor caused the windshield not to be able to defrost and the heather to fail. In addition, the rear door lock failed and could not be opened or locked/unlocked manually or when using the electronic key remote. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 41,000 and the current mileage was 90,000.

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.

The contact owns a 2004 GMC Yukon. While attempting to open the driver's side door from the exterior of the vehicle, the latch pulled, but the door would not open. The latch would remain stuck in the open position; therefore, the door could not be opened from the passenger compartment as well. The contact must roll down the window and push the handle back into place in order to exit the vehicle with the interior door latch. On a separate occasion, all four doors experienced the same failure. While an occupant was seated in the passenger seat, he leaned up against the door and it opened. The occupant fell out of the vehicle, even though the door was completely shut at the time. The doors would not lock or unlock. The VIN was unable to be entered. The failure mileage was 70,000 and current mileage was 85,000.
