Radiator Problems of GMC Yukon

I took my vehicle in for service oil change and battery replacement on 6/29/20 and they told me by radiator needed to be replaced because of leak. I did not know it was leaking. They said this is a problem with vehicles of my type. My vehicle had 56434 miles on it at the time. It was $1204. 82 plus tax to replace.

My Yukon has a leaking radiator which is a known defect not just in Yukons, but also in tahoes, silverados, suburbans and other vehicles. Gm refuses to cover the repair for all trucks, only certain ones. I'm not sure what the criteria they are using is. . . But it is the same defect affecting all of the vehicles.

1. While driving steering wheel was making a clicking noise when turning. Dealer replaced upper steering column bearing and turn signal. Three months later dealer replaced steering column again due to same issue. 2. One month later both front coil springs were replaced. 3. When replaced springs, dealer found that left front upper ball joint was loose so replaced upper ball joint and upper control arm. 4. After replacing above mentioned parts, noise was still present when driving so dealer replaced both left and right front struts. 5. The following month right front strut was replaced again due to noise while driving. 6. One month after that service the radiator began leaking while on the road and the dealer replaced the radiator. 7. 07/12/2017 left front strut was replaced again. This is the 4th strut put in this vehicle. 8. 07/12/2017 a/c stopped working. Dealer said it needs new condenser which is on back order indefinitely at this point so not able to fix at this time. These issues happened over a period of 18 months. Not at a specific time. The steering column is still making a clicking noise while turning. We have taken the vehicle back, however the dealer says they are unable to duplicate the noise. If they end up replacing the steering column again it will be the third time. This vehicle is not trust worthy to drive long distances or cross country. Very disappointing for a $70,000 new vehicle.

Broken/leaking brake lines due to severe underbody corrosion: frame,brake and gas lines, front suspension, spare tire assembly, nuts, bolts, exhaust pipes, etc. Along with this I replaced two transmissions, once due to radiator failure, fuel pump failure, brake caliper failure, a few sets of rear parking brake shoes because the adjustments dont work properly, three window regulators and all within 163,630 miles. Yea I'm pis@#$ off.

Purchased new Yukon denali xl on 3/19/05. Initially my husband and I noticed the seat position memory was faulty. Problem was minor did not report it. Replaced the head lights every 2 months ~ drove us crazy but we did not complain. Less than 8 months paint on the console and accessory buttons peeled. Finally on 3/2/07 I was driving to work and got a transmission hot message. Furious and concerned I drove straight to the dealer for assistance. Later that day I find out that my less than two year old truck costing about $50,000 needed a new radiator and coolant system, replaced radiator hoses upper and lower,heater hoses, replaced coolant jug, replaced thermostat, replace bypass hose and truck needed an extensive engine block cooling flush, further indicating that the transmission and radiator fluid mixed - totaling $2,100. Truck was in the shop on 1/12/07 for regular scheduled maintenance, which included inspection of the radiator, coolant system and hoses. On 3/6/07, called to check on my truck to find out that there was slight damage to the transmission; however, the advisor stated " I would not get the transmission replaced right now, just begin a service for a new vehicle" just the words you want to hear after wasting your money on a luxury SUV. I contacted GMC customer care and they indicated there are no recalls on the issue. After doing an in depth online search I am now aware that many people have had the same problem. GMC as well as the dealer act as if it's not a big deal so owners have not pressed the issue. Many owners state that they are not interested in the run around so they get the car repaired and don't pursue the issue. This matter needs immediate attention and possible recalls. No automobile should have transmission / radiator/ coolant/ electrical (head light) /memory malfunction or cheap interior issues within 2 yrs. GMC needs to step up to the plate and except responsibility for their poorly manufactured Yukon denali.
