Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have had repeated failures of all the door locks in my yukon. They will only work manually not with the auto lock feature. Safety is a concern as you need to remember to lock the door manually and then unlock it manually to get in the car. The auto door lock feature (locking at 5 MPH or above) also does not work inviting a car jacking incident. I have had 3 replaced under warranty and now a 4th door is affected.”
NHTSA complaint #10464152, filed 2012-07, 3,500 miles“I have a 2008 Gmc Yukon Hybrid the door on my driver and rear seat some time it open and lock. I had passenger side fix under warranty. Now they want me to paid over $400 to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10416991, filed 2011-08, 42,000 miles“2008 Gmc yukon door actuators going out repetitively. I have to have two actuators replaced at about $400 each for nearly $800. Two failures out of four actuators is aa totally unacceptable failure rate. This is a serious defect. The fact that the manual unlatch is un reachable makes this issue even more outrageous. Manually unlocking the door instead of being able to use my key remote is not easy. One needs to crawl in the back seat to unlatch the back door. This need serious attention! This is a pain and causes me to seriously consider buying a different brand. Do what you wish GM. …”
