Brakes get very hard to push and do not work well when going slow speeds or backing up. Unable to even fix as I have been told the part is on national back order! so I'm stuck trying not to crash with faulty vacuum brake part! left rear seat motor works, but small plastic part broke so seat worn move and is stuck in one position.

The cable release for the rear seats freeze up and the cables break. This could trap someone in the back if riding in rear, or 3rd row seats. If the car catches on fire and a person who can't climb forward over the seats, it would be devastating on what could happen. I feel as this should be a recall on general motors. Mine broke and I am unable to fold my seats forward. This is a bad design and the cables rust and snap when bottom of seat is folded forward, which is supposed to release this way.

Middle row passenger seat does not click into place with out shoving it back several times until it "latches" (after allowing children in the back seat then trying to put seat back into place). If not clicked in the seat slides back and forth.

The contact owns a 2005 GMC Yukon denali. While driving with the heated seat mechanism activated, the rear driver-side seat caught on fire . The vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection. The technician stated that the seat needed to be replaced. No repairs were made. The current and failure mileages were 94000.
I just purchased a 2007 Yukon xl denali. It is supposed to have 2 tether anchors in the third passenger row - it only has 1. I was told before purchasing during my comparisons that is was listed as having 2. My owners manual said it has 2 and even has a picture of their locations. There is only one. I contacted GMC they said it must of been a misprint and is illegal to retrofit a tether. I have child seats in the 3rd row that require tethers. I need at least 2. They basically said too bad.

On June 28, 2006 while looking at a general motors corporation 2007 Yukon, with a retractable middle seat. I had the passenger's rear door opened looking inside at the interior. The salesman, without looking where I was, pushed the top console button above the front seats which caused the seat to quickly and very hard to retract, striking the left side of my neck, temporally stunning me. This is a very dangerous option that could seriously hurt someone not knowing how fast and hard this occurs. I also don't know if there is any safety feature that this could happen while a small child or infant was in the seat and someone accidentally pushed the button.
The metal piece holding the 3rd row seat of my 2001 Yukon snapped. It is an aluminum piece with a hard coat of plastic on it. I do have the piece. When I was at the dealer talking to them, they mentioned someone else had just been in for the same problem. My issue is if I had been in an accident and someone was in the third row seat their safety would have been highly compromised. The third row seats are hardly used, so wear and tear should not have been an issue.

Vehicle having multiple problems with seatbelts. The front seat belt would not pull out or return to position, two weeks later, the same problem occurred in the passenger seat belt. The rear seat belt experienced the same problem. The battery leaked acid from the positive battery post and the material on the drivers seat was wearing out.
Driver side seat (left front connection) broke while getting into car. The welded connection broke through the metal frame on the seat. A rear end collision would have allowed the seat to break into the back seat passenger area if not the rear of the vehicle.
