“I currently own a 2007 Gmc Yukon Denali and have two failures to report, first, the interior door handle on the drivers side which is chrome is starting to flake off and has several sharp edges causing several cuts to myself and my wives hands. Second, the exterior drivers side and rear passenger side door handles have broken off denying entry to my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10398070, filed 2011-04, 30,000 miles“I have replaced 3 outside door handles on my 2007 Yukon Denali due to breakage. Drivers side and rear driverside passenger within the past three weeks. The first one broke a couple of years ago and replaced under warranty. The two others were replaced at my expense. Besides the expense, $200 each event,the inconvenience of taking time out of my schedule to have them replaced is frustrating.”
NHTSA complaint #10408656, filed 2011-06, 66,000 miles“Inside passenger door handle chrome pealing. Both wife and I have cut our hands. Also outside drivers side and rear drivers side chrome door handles have both broke off the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10427842, filed 2011-09, 50,000 miles“2007 denali with 22,000 miles had a liftgate failure. After a $78.00 diagnosis at local dealer the repair estimate was $450.00. According to GM customer service personnel the repair is not under warranty, and further more because we purchased it used it won't be eligible for any assistance from GM either. While evaluating problem I noticed there is no egress possible from inside while problem exists. This seems like a very dangerous condition because an emergency that disables typical egress through doors would leave the rear liftgate as only choice to escape from fire or water for instance.”
NHTSA complaint #10334931, filed 2010-06, 22,573 miles“Several issues with vehicle. Throttle body, computer electrical system, transmission fluid and coolant leak. Door hinges rusted and hard to open doors. Chrome rims pitting and peeling. Steering column replaced. Tailgate rattles. Vehicle only has 37k miles.”
