Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“November 13, I went out to start my 2008 yukon and the lights, door locks, and cd player began to flicker and then shut off. The gauges also began to flicker erratically, then the car would not start. Later in the afternoon, my husband and I pushed the car out of the garage and when the yukon went over the lip of the garage into the driveway, the bump caused all the lights, radio, and back dloor latch to come on or begin working. This occurred several other times over several weeks and included the rear door not working or the powerlocks not working with the remote. …”
