“I have a 2003 Gmc Yukon. Several days ago I was going to put some items in the back end. After raising the rear hatch glass, I heard a popping noise. I couldn't tell where it came from at first, but when I tried to shut the rear glass, the right side of the glass just popped up. After looking at it closely I could see that the glass was separated from the right hinge. I had to pull the glass down by hand and align it while trying to shut the glass. My vehicle is a 2003 model with 55,000 miles. It is a second vehicle and stays garaged most of the time. …”

NHTSA complaint #10364058, filed 2010-11, 55,000 miles

“Rear heater not working. On july 25, 2006, the dealer replaced: compressor assembly-replace sensor, inside air temperature-replace, case, auxiliary heater one piece-replace at 38,371 miles. Today, I returned to the dealer. Rear A/C is working but no heat through the rear heater. They replaced the actuator, but that did not solve the problem. They put the original actuator back and stated a rear control module would need to be ordered. Now the console lights on the rear HVAC dials do not illuminate. I am awaiting the part.”

“Odometer reading and hour meter reading displaying alternately every 5 seconds while vehicle was garage parked and off, no key in the ignition, no other lights on. Dealer could not find problem, but re-secured ground connection. Also at various times HVAC & radio face panel to hot to touch even with A/C on. Dealer re-programed something.”

“The right hinge of the rear lift glass on 2003 Gmc Yukon failed causing a dangerous condition whereby the rear glass could blow out, or otherwise fall off the car. I am told the entire rear lift glass must be replaced.”

NHTSA complaint #10356761, filed 2010-09, 135,000 miles

“When it rained, water entered the cabin of the vehicle. The dealership maintained that the water was coming through the roof. The dealership replaced the seal on the rear and the front of the sunroof but the problem recurred.”
