What owners report
This is the 2nd GMC Yukon with a faulty drivetrain I've acquired in 3 years. Both occasions were directly after the vehicle had professional service done related to the faulty system. The transmissions was fully serviced at reputable repair shops and within a month or 2, without warning, the transmissions started having mechanical issues without DTC being triggered. As well as a 2004 Buick Rendezvous with less than 70k miles on it. The 2001 GMC Yukon suddenly lost reverse and park while driving and imploded the transmission in the process. The 2004 Buick Rendezvous started slipping and ceased to move by it's own power when at operating temperature. The 2006 GMC Yukon Denali stopped shiftin
The Brake lines are not coded so the brake line rusted and when brakes got applied they burst causing accidents for no pressure and canât stop. Air bags light stays on and will not go out. I have put new lights bulbs in truck but lights are still dim.
Driver side steering wheel safety air bag defective, warning light on dashboard says not functioning. Nervous about driving vehicle if there is a collision. Gas gauge misreads fuel level and check engine warning light keeps coming on. Ran out of fuel a few times. Has been checks problem keeps coming back on both.
IT HAPPENED REPEATEDLY NOW WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE STEERING WOULD GET SLOPPY AT RANDOM MOMENTS AND KEEPING THE VEHICLE IN ITS LANE BECOMES DIFFICULT. I REPLACED TIE RODS INNER & OUTER, UPPER/LOWER BALL JOINTS PITMAN ARM AND IDLER, SWAYBAR LINKS SHOCKS/STRUTS. I EVEN HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT THE STEERING COMPONENTS. BOTH SAID EVERYTHING IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK A MONTH AGO
AIRBAG FAILED FUNCTION DUE TO LACK OF INFLATOR PERFORMANCE DURING MY HUSBANDS HEAD-ON CRASH AND HE SUFFERED COLLAR BONE AND RIB FRACTURES,MASSIVE HEAD TRAUMA RESULTING IN A CRAINIOTOMY,BRAIN DAMAGE AND DEATH ONE MONTH LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT 45MPH ON A PAVED TWO LANE STREET.
