NHTSA ODI 11064313

ENGINE STUMBLES AND SHAKES FEELS HARD AND VERY ROUGH EXTREMELY. STARTS AT ABOUT 5-10 MPH AND SHAKES EVEN WHEN IN PARK. AND THERE IS AN OIL CONSUMPTION WE TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN THE ENGINE BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT TILL IT BREAKS DOWN COMPLETELY. BEING THE MOTHER OF 2 LITTLE KIDS AND ALSO BEING PREGNANT I CAN'T HAVE THAT HAPPEN AND NEED HELP ASAP

I WAS TRAVELING TO PHOENIX, AZ OF ALL PLACES AND MY AIR WENT OUT IN 110 DEGREE HEAT. I'VE SEEN THE OTHER COMPLAINTS SO I JUST WANTED TO SUBMIT MINE. THIS WAS AUGUST 26, 2017.

WHILE EXITING THE OHIO TURNPIKE, MY BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO STOP DEPRESSING COMPLETELY- TO THE POINT WHERE I COULDN'T PUSH DOWN AT ALL. IT FELT LIKE AN OVER-PUMPED KEG. AS I CONTINUED MY EXIT TOWARD THE TOLL BOOTH, IT SEEMED THAT THE ABS WERE ENGAGING, BUT I WASN'T IN AN EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATION. THE REST OF MY JOURNEY HOME WAS UNEVENTFUL, UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE, AND ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT SO I CHECK UNDER THE VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE THERE WASN'T ANYTHING LEAKING. AS I BACKED OUT, MY BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY AGAIN AND MY CAR ROLLED BACK DOWN MY DRIVE WAY. THE CAR STOPPED AND I PARKED IT WHERE IT WAS. LATER IN THE DAY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR INTO MY GARAGE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO CHESROWN GMC (THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE). THEY ADVISED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A SITUATION AND HAD ME BEING VEHICLE TO THEM. I COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH THEM, BUT LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM SO THEY COULD CHECK IT OUT FOR ISSUES. THEY REPLACED THE THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. TODAY (7/31/17), THE BRAKES STARTED TO BEHAVE IN THE SAME MANNER AS WHEN THEY FAILED ON 7/16/17.

PRESSURE, SOUND AND SENSATION AT LOW TO MID RANGE SPEEDS. CREATES A IN CABIN VIBRATION LIKE A SINGLE WINDOW IS DOWN CAUSING A HELICOPTER LIKE SOUND. SEEMS TO BE MOSTLY WHEN IT DROPS INTO THE 4 CYLINDER MODE AND YOU ARE ACCELERATING. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AS NOTED FOR MANY PEOPLE AS NOTED ON MULTIPLE INTERNET SEARCHES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!

SAID VEHICLE MAINTAINS A DEFECT THAT SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS ITS USE AND SAFETY AND DOES NOT CONFORM TO APPLICABLE WARRANTY PROVISIONS. THE VEHICLE'S INFOTAINMENT/INTELLILINK SYSTEM BECAME COMPLETELY DYSFUNCTIONAL ON JANUARY 14, 2017, AND SAID CONDITION WAS REPORTED TO GMC'S INFOTAINMENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT VIA TELEPHONE ON THIS DATE (SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER: 8-2666432517). AS GMC'S INFOTAINMENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE WAS NOT ABLE TO ASSIST WITH THE ISSUE, A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 17, 2017 AT AN AUTHORIZED GMC SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR OF THE INTELLILINK SYSTEM ON JANUARY 17, 2017. THE INTELLILINK SYSTEM WAS NOT REPAIRED OR RENDERED FUNCTIONAL BY GMC AND/OR ITS AUTHORIZED DEALER/SERVICE CENTER ON JANUARY 17, 2017. GMC PERSONNEL HAVE STATED THAT THE NECESSARY PART TO REPAIR THE DISABLED INTELLILINK SYSTEM IS ON BACK ORDER AND COULD TAKE UP TO TEN WEEKS TO BE DELIVERED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DISABLED INTELLILINK SYSTEM AND THE NON-USABILITY OF ITS INTEGRATED SAFETY FEATURES RENDER THE VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR USE.

FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS STICKING CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR OUT OF PADS AND DRIVER SIDE ROTOR AT ~11900 MILES. AFTER FIRST REPAIR, ~900 MILES AND THREE WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SNOW COVERED CITY HILL ABS WAS ENGAGED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN DASH DISPLAYED A "BRAKE FAILURE" WARNING. AFTER THE MESSAGE THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP COMPLETELY, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND INDUCED A SLIDE OF OVER 1000FT DOWN THE HILL. ONCE THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP, A LOUD SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE. POWERING DOWN THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP THE SOUND. RESTART OF THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED "SERVICE STABILITRACK" AND "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE" WARNINGS. THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL SLIPPAGE, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO ALL STAYED ILLUMINATED. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER AS IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. UPON INSPECTION AT GMC DEALER THEY REPORTED THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (EBCM) WAS SHORTED OUT INTERNALLY AND SECOND FRONT ROTOR WAS ALSO SCORED. THEY REPLACED THE EBCM AND ROTOR UNDER WARRANTY. I'M TOLD THE CALIPER STICKING ISSUE IS COMMON, AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST EBCM THEY HAVE REPLACED. IN SUMMARY, DAMAGE TO ROTORS AND PADS IS VERY DANGEROUS. AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS ~12000 MILES NO ONE WOULD EXPECT THIS TYPE OF WEAR. THE FAILURE OF THE ABS SYSTEM NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL AS THE VEHICLE WAS DESCENDING A HILL AND AT THE VERY TIME THE ABS WAS NEEDED IT CAUSED LOCK UP OF THE FONT WHEELS INDUCING A SLIDE AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO STEER. *TR

SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THIS 2016 GMC YUKON XL DENALI THERE HAS BEEN A VIBRATION IN WHAT I THINK IS THE PASSENGER REAR END. I'VE TAKEN IT IN 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE DEALER AND THE GM REPRESENTATIVE SAY IT IS "WITHIN SPEC." THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE IS NOW ALMOST UN-DRIVABLE DUE TO THE SHAKING. IT AFFECTS THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS ON ALL TERRAINS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD AS WELL AS WARM/HOT. THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES JERK TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN THE SHAKING GETS REAL BAD. THIS VEHICLE IS BECOMING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE TO USE IT. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND WOULD APPRECIATE SOME HELP.

4 WEEK OLD 2016 YUKON DENALI XL, HAS STALLED 3 TIMES IN LAST 4 WEEKS, ENGINE CUTS OFF AFTER A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, AND IT HAS TO BE RESTARTED! COULD HAVE EASILY HAD AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, 3 TIMES. 1ST TWO TIMES, ALL OF SERVICE DEPT. COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. TODAY, AFTER A STALL, CALLED ONSTAR, RAN A DIAGNOSTICS, FOUND NOTHING OF VALUE , I LEFT IT AT DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED DISTRICT MGR. MATT TILLSON . I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD ESCALATE THE ISSUE. I DID TELL DEALER THAT GMC AND DEALERSHIP WOULD BE AT FAULT IF VEHICLE IS IN AN ACCIDENT AND DIES WHILE I AM DRIVING. I DID NOT WANT THE VEHICLE BACK WITHOUT THE PROBLEM HAVING BEEN FIXED.

MY 2016 YUKON DENALI HAS A VIBRATION PROBLEM, WHICH I BELIEVE IS CAUSED BY THE MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL. THE VIBRATION DOES NOT SPEED UP, NOR SLOW DOWN, DEPENDING ON SPEED. IT IS, HOWEVER, MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN THERE IS ANY ROAD IMPERFECTION. THE GMC SERVICE DEPT. HAS BALANCED AND ROTATED TIRES, EVEN SENT IT TO TWO OTHER BUSINESSES TO TRY AND FIX -- ALIGNMENT, ETC. VIBRATION CONTINUES. I'VE HAD PASSENGERS WHO ASK "WHY DOES YOUR CAR HAVE THE SHIVERS?" GM DEALER DID GET AHOLD OF A GMC TECHNICIAN WHO FLEW IN, AND DROVE THE CAR AND SAID -- YES IT HAS A VIBRATION, BUT IT IS IN ACCEPTABLE PARAMETERS. MY DEALER HAS PROVIDED ME 3 DIFFERENT RENTAL CARS WHILE WORKING TO TRY AND FIX THE "SHIVERS" ... ALL THREE WERE FAIRLY NEW, SMALL BUICKS, AND ALL 3 RODE BETTER THAN THIS NEW $75,000 DENALI. I LOVE THE VEHICLE, HATE THE VIBRATION. GMC ITSELF HAS NOW TOLD ME -- YOUR CASE IS CLOSED! THE VIBRATION IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS. THE DEALER HAS LET ME DRIVE TWO OTHER YUKON DENALI'S ... BOTH HAVE SIMILAR VIBRATIONS... JUST NOT AS BAD AS THIS VEHICLE. VIBRATION IS NOTICEABLE AT 25 MPH, AS WELL AS AT 80 MPH; ALTHOUGH IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE ON ROUGHER ROADS. I AM HAPPY TO SHARE THE REPORTS FROM MY LOCAL GM DEALER, WHO COMPLETELY AGREES THAT THE CAR SHIMMIES. WE TRIED THE GMC BUYBACK PROGRAM, AND I WAS TOLD BY GMC THAT PROGRAM IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME, EVEN THOUGH I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHEN I HAD LESS THAN 100 MILES ON IT. AND HAVE BEEN TAKING IT BACK REGULARLY SINCE.

ON FEBRUARY 27, 2016 PURCHASED A BRAND NEW GMC, YUKON SLE, 2016, AND VIN# ([XXX]).

ON MARCH 3, 2016 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO CLYDE REVORD MOTORS, 7900 EVERGREEN WAY EVERETT, WA. 98203 FOR REPAIRS. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIX THE NONCONFORMITIES AND ORDERED A TORQUE CONVERTER. ON MARCH 8, 2016 I CALLED CLYDE REVORD MOTORS, 7900 EVERGREEN WAY EVERETT, WA. 98203 AND WAS TOLD INCORRECT TORQUE CONVERTER WAS ORDERED AND CORRECT TORQUE CONVERTER REORDERED. ON MARCH 14, 2016 WHEN TORQUE CONVERTER ARRIVED I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO CLYDE REVORD MOTORS, 7900 EVERGREEN WAY EVERETT, WA. 98203 TO INSTALL. ON MARCH 15, 2016 VEHICLE RETURNED TO ME WITH THREE OF THE SAME NONCONFORMITIES REMAINING A RUMBLE IN THE ENGINE, A VIBRATION OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, A LOUD HISSING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. ON MARCH 22, 2016 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO CLYDE REVORD MOTORS, 7900 EVERGREEN WAY EVERETT, WA. 98203, FOR REPAIRS OF THE THREE REMAINING NONCONFORMITIES. ON MARCH 24, 2016 VEHICLE RETURNED TO ME WITH THE SAME THREE REMAINING NONCONFORMITIES.

MECHANIC REPLACED EXHAUST FLEX JOINT.

VEHICLE HAS VIBRATION & NOISE WIHEN IN 4 CYLINDER MODE OF OPERATION. GIVES HEADACHE ON LONG DRIVES. GM SAYS THAT THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. MOST AGRIVATING.

NHTSA ODI 10872251

THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION UNEXPECTEDLY SLIPS OUT OF GEAR BETWEEN 20 AND 35 MPH. WHEN THIS OCCURS, PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR MERELY REVS THE ENGINE, WITHOUT FORWARD MOTION. THIS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN THE FIRST 600 MILES OF OPERATION. WITHOUT POWER, I CAN'T NAVIGATE OUT OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

NHTSA ODI 10870916

HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM AND DO NOT PROVIDE APPROPRIATE VISIBILITY FOR SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT, PARTICULARLY WHEN NAVIGATING CURVY ROADS AS THE LIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT AN ADEQUATE DISTANCE. FACTORY BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH ANOTHER BRAND WITH MINIMAL IMPROVEMENT.

WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES 40-60 MILES PER HOUR A VIBRATION OCCURS... OFTEN SOUNDS LIKE A WINDOW IS DOWN AND CAN CAUSE NAUSEA AND HEADACHE...
