Seats Problems of GMC Yukon - part 1

In January 2021, I purchased a new 2021 GMC Yukon denali from a GMC dealership, which currently has only about 27,000 miles. To date, several recalls have been assigned and completed for my vehicle. Per the websites for GMC and your agency. However, based on published recalls for my vehicle and a repair that is currently underway, I have reason to believe that my vehicle should have been subject to three prior recalls for which it was not [NHTSA id numbers: 20v735000 (front seat bolts), 25v274000 (v8 engine failure, and 21v739000 (fuel power control module] currently, the fuel pump control module is being replaced at a local GMC dealership because it failed last week and left my stranded at home. GMC issued a recall for this in 2021, but my vehicle was not included. Aside from risk and inconvenience, this is also costing my over $300 for a rental. Secondly, though my vehicle's make/model/year is cited in GMC's ongoing engine failure recall, which you are investigating, I have not received a recall notice. I note GMC's financial interest in minimizing vehicle's it recalls for such a costly repair. I have inquired with GMC and two of its dealers and have only received reiterations that my vehicle has not been subject to GMC's recall, which I already knew. I have not been given any explanation for why my Yukon has not been recalled despite my inquiries. Lastly, GMC issued a 2021 recall for front seat bolts; however, I did not receive a notice for my Yukon. I have occasionally felt slight movement in the driver's seat since buying the vehicle. Based on reason and facts, I am alleging that GMC appears to be artificially minimizing recalls and notifications for vehicles that are in fact impacted by defects in their vehicles.

The third row seat attachment from the seat to the frame has broken. It is a hook type mechanism that holds the entire row of seats to the latch in the floorboard. This car was not in an accident and the seats broke when the vehicle stopped. There should be a recall. Also the back seatbelt was on a recall for this vehicle but doesn't show up anymore. Please restore the recall. Thank you.

Driver seat automatically adjusts while driving particularly when I accelerate from a red light or stop sign. This causes me to not reach the peddles. I have to pull over and reset my seat. Has been doing this for two days. My vehicle is not equipped with the automatic memory seat. My two rear seatbelts in the middle row are always lose they do not retract. This has been going on for a couple of months.

Riders with long hair is getting caught in the "denali" emblem embedded in the seat back of the front seats. This has been addressed with a GMC dealer and they stated the seat emblem is within specs as they put it. This is noted on the attached work order regarding this.

The headrest in the 2nd and 3rd rows of the 2023 GMC Yukon are not adjustable or removable, reference page 39 of an owners manual. This is a major problem when installing car seats into the vehicle. Because of the design, the headrest tilt forward and do not allow car seats to properly sit against the back of the seats. This causes a gap between the back of the car seats and the seat back of the car. I have 4 kids and 3 different types of car seats. All of the car seat manuals say that for proper installation the car seats must seat flush with the seat back of the car. Well this cannot happen because of the design of the vehicle. Therefore I cannot properly install car seats of any type into this vehicle. I am not the only consumer with this issue as it is all over the internet as well. I have called gm corporate and they are not willing to address this safety concern as it would require a design change. I have attached pictures of 2 of the seats which have a gap between 2-5 inches depending on the height the car seats are set at.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while her daughter was occupying the second-row passenger's side seat, the seat inadvertently folded. The contact stated that the failure recurred on the second-row driver’s side seat while the seat was vacant. Additionally, the contact stated that the horn was inoperable. The contact stated that she was concerned for her safety and the safety of her children. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where an unknown diagnostic test was performed, and the parts were ordered. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by the dealer, and the contact was informed that a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 10,444.

Engine coolant is usually water–based, and may also be oil. A three–valve–per–cylinder was originally slated for the ls7, and was abandoned imputable to design complexities. E85 ethanol should is an understatement to the ‘war on fossil fuels. ’ the l98 is a modified version of the l76, with increased power and reduced redundant hardware. A vee engine is common configurations of internal combustion consisting of two cylinder banks connected to a common crankshaft.

I purchased a 2022 Yukon xl and much to my surprise the third bench seats do not have carseat latch/anchors. I am unable to get my third carseat in the third row due to this major oversight on gm's behalf. I called customer service at gm and wasn't able to get anywhere. Was told to file a request for a recall with nhts, however they told me they cannot recall something that gm decided not to include with the build of this vehicle. I have owned other suvs with third row anchors, no issue however this one for whatever reason does not include them. It only has the one on the back of the seat which does nothing for keeping the carseat base secure.

Service safety restrain system message keeps appearing after taking to dealer a few times. It will go off and on intermittantly and not sure the airbags are actually functional. This seems to be a common issue based on an internet search across multiple gm products that does not have a known fix. Also, the driver seat shifts slightly when making turns.

While driving the driver side seat automatically reset to the furthest position away from the wheel and gas and break pad. This resulted in not being able to reach the break to stop.

The drivers seat broke and front airbags did not deploy. The seat broke during rear end collision which pushed the seat back so I was no longer able to reach steering wheel or brakes to stop. Went thru on coming traffic to end up on wrong side of road in ditch. Police inspection, insurance inspections, auto repair inspection no warnings.

The contact owns a 2019 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the third-row seats electrically controlled failed to function as needed. The contact stated that that the seats failed to move forward or backwards. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the third-row seat unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure TSB: pit5550c (left side third row seat will not power fold/unfold seats, electrical system). The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

My brakes get hard when driving in slow traffic. And sterring wheel gets stiff when pressed during turning corners or turns.

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.

The a/c has quick working. We took it in to get fixed, they could find nothing wrong except low on freon. Replaced and it is gone (has dye in it & no detection where it has gone). I didn't drive this car for 6 mos. Because of this (too hot). I can't afford to fix everything that is going wrong on this car. Same day a/c went out, the heat system went out on the driver's side seat. Just blows cold air! this is ridiculous! the suspension is now slamming hard and super loud (especially when it is cool/cold out). I am glad they are finally fixing the brake issue but really? all this other bs on this expensive car? the day we got back from shop for the a/c, the driver side brake light was out. Omg!! talk about expensive to repair!! 650-800 for just the light assembly through GMC and that is reconditioned parts! why would we put more crap parts in? waited another 2 mos to save money to go to an aftermarket person to fix this. Just waiting on the other side to go out! lights go out all the time, why would you make them where they are not affordable? we baby our car, park away from everyone and yet it is falling apart due to the crappy products that gm used to manufacture it. All these problems happened (except the braking issue and the suspension) when I went to start the car and I noticed it. The suspension is when I am driving and the road can just have a 'wave" in it. If there is any sort of bounce, this car will bottom out and is super loud. The air started 3/28/19 and all has followed. We bought it used with 74k-ish on it. Have only had it since last July, 2018.

Oem led tail lights have failed on my GMC with 40,000 miles on it. The bulb is good, yet the led portion (which costs over $800 to fix) needs to be replaced. This portion is the entire rear brake light housing. This is very common among these vehicles heated seats quit working on denali. The backrests still heat up, but the bottoms don't heat up at all. Also, they will not turn on in remote start mode even though they are set to turn on in this mode.

Drivers side bottom of seat ripped, dashboard has cracked in two different places and vent has come loose and rattles. Vehicle was stationary.

The seat caught on fire while the car was running. My child was sleeping and smoke was coming out from under his booster seat and his legs. I contacted GMC and they said this had never happened before and we should contact our insurance company, though, when we took it to the technicians at the dealership (for the inspection), they saw where two wires were on top of one another and the seat had caught on fire. This is a serious problem. I searched online and there are many stories out there, I am just not sure if people are reporting them---or if they realize that GMC makes similar cars so Cadillac, sierras, and other cars come from the same mold.

Seat belt system seem to be defected. Air bag are not functioning properly.

Vehicle vibrates during driving speeds above 35 mph. Had tired rotated and balanced, still vibrated, replaced tires and received 4 wheel alignment, still shakes bad. When traveling at speeds above 35, seats starts to shake as if you are traveling over a bad bumpy road. This occurs both on city streets and highways.

The brake pedal is severely closer than the accelerator from the driver. When trying to stop quickly, the driver has to lift foot substantially to shift over to apply pressure to the brake. This is extremely dangerous and terribly uncomfortable. The foot pedals, even with the adjustments, are too close to the driver.

The vehicle has leaked water in the seams of the back driver side since the initial purchase. It has been repaired nine times by two different dealerships and it still leaks. The vehicle now contains a high moisture reading and was tested by a mold specialist and determined to have mold. The vehicle is currently with the dealership.

Upper dash has split. Making this a safety issue if the air bags deploy. Also, the heated seats on the passenger side do not work.

Takata recall -I found no record of recall but passenger airbag warning light is on as well as cracks on the dashboard around where the airbags would deploy. Heated seats malfunction and turn on and are unable to be turned off. Fuel tank mileage to empty unreliable. Guage can be at quarter tank and say 50 miles to empty and stall due to being out of gas. Gas guage issue changes while driving. . . On raod trips the gas guage will suddenly change and say there is more gas in it than there actually is.

Driver's seat was not heating on the bottom cushion, only the back was heating up. Took to dealership and after the second time complaining they found a fault in the sensor and replaced. Then the back of the seat quit heating. Same problem - heating sensor kept shorting. Very concern about shorts and faulty circuits. Complained to GMC on facebook and got the typical "so sorry" and "we're in contact with the dealer". I had to complain multiple times since December 2015 about poor heating before they would listen.

I have a 2015 Yukon denali and I was driving 65 on the highway and the engine shut down completely. A warning message said engine power failure. I had 4 cars and an 18 wheeler behind me at the time. I managed to put the vehicle in neutral and coast to the side of the road onto a median. It was towed to the dealership where they started trying say it might have been bad gas. Then I was told I cracked valve and they already had one other just like this, then 1 day later after a tech level 2 and a shop forum looked at it, and a conversation with a gm pac rep, gm approved a complete engine replacement! I was shocked. I've had the same 4-wheel drive issues everyone else has. I've also had a/c problems, steer wheel popping noises, sunroof loud wind noises. My seat shifts when I drive it. The a/c seats don't cool properly, which I found out when they put me in a loaner Yukon that worked fine. The speedometer gauge also didn't work for 2 days, which I have a picture of and received a warning ticket for when I was pulled over by an officer not knowing what speed I was going. I passenger step guard doesn't always retract properly. My unit was purchase may 2014 and was one of the first 4 x 4 units that was produced and has had constant problems. Gm keeps denying a buyback, then no trade assistance, then now has offered an extended warranty. This particular vehicle I have is not safe for my family to be riding in. I can't trade it in or sell it to anyone else knowing the problems it has. The dealer won't even take it because they know the problem that they are dealing with.

The second row seating in my SUV is supposed to have the option to lay down or sit up like normal. When I tried to lift the seat of the large section to lay the seat flat,.

The heated seats do not heat up. The car was in the shop for this problem within the 1st 1000k miles. They told me to "be patient" and they'll get warm. The car has been in the shop a total of 7 days for the seats not working and I have yet to get it resolved. Emailed the ceo of gm and got a phone call from a person who stated gm considers the seats are working although they don't work most of the time and when they do get some sort of heat (the shop told me they got one seat to heat up to 87 degrees! wow!) it is intermittent and uneven. The seats haven't worked at all in the last 3 weeks and the average temp hasn't been above 32 degrees. I spent a fortune for this car and I can't get anyone at the dealership nor in detroit to acknowledge this car is a lemon or they have a design flaw since they switched to blowers from heated coils. I am supposing the a/c in the seats won't work when it's 100 outside and I'll be told to be patient again. I've asked for my $$ back and I'll return the car. It's got 4,200k mi and I am so done with this lemon bucket.

The second row seating in my SUV is supposed to have the option to lay down or sit up like normal. When I tried to lift the seat of the large section to lay the seat flat, the cable broke as if it had been ready to snap for quite some time. The smaller side hasn't snapped yet but I am sure it is only a matter of time.

The second row seats will not fold down flat. This has been going on for about 2 years.
