2007 GMC Yukon Denali: doors won't lock, open or latch

Filed Aug 17, 2018 · 80,000 miles · KY

I wish to add complaint for the dashboard crack issue near the passenger airbag, and suspect the airbag support/function may be compromised. I also have received many 'paper cuts' from inside door handles chrome over the years but was never contacted by gm or offered warranty replacement as your website states they did - I am the original owner of the vehicle.

The chrome linings on the interior door handles of the front driver side and front passenger side are peeling. The peeled edge of the material is very sharp, and my wife and I both have sustained cuts to our left hands due to this.

I own an 07 yukon denali and the dashboard has three seperate cracks in them. Two of them are on the driver side and the other one is on the passenger side near the airbag. I've seen multiple complaints online as well as on this site and it's a shame we spend all this money on these luxury vehiicles but gmc refuse to issue a recall for an obvious problem. I was given a quote of over $1000 to replace it. I had to place a small piece of paper between the cracks just to avoid the obnoxious and annoying sound that it makes while driving, not to mention so my hand wouldn't accidentally push it in resulting in my hand possibly getting stuck in the cracks. Ouch!! It sounds like constant rattling. The driver and passenger chrome door handles are peeling which can cause some serious cuts to your hands if not careful. Gmc the least you can do is offer recalls for your customers. I've owned a gmc yukon from 2002-current. I would hate for this to be my last.

The chrome is also peeling on my door handles. Summer of 2015, I replaced the inside drivers door handle due to a broken bolt. Lastly my airbag light has been on with no diagnoses (~3 months).

The inside of the passenger side door handle crome has peeled away causing a shape edge. There has been a special coverage adjustment issued by gmc in bulletin no: 09239a but was told my vehicle was not covered. I am having the same problem but they will not cover it due to my vind not being included in this special coverage adjustment. I feel my vehicle should be covered due to the fact that it is having the same problem. The outside of the same door handle has pulled away from the vehicle and bolt has pulled out of the frame. I think gm needs to step up and take care of these issues on all there vehicles not just who ever they choose!! I will never purchase another gmc vehicle again! After many hours of research I found several other customers having the same problem! When I called to make appt to have it fixed even the dealer informed me that it was a common problem with their vehicles! If the dealers know there is an issue im sure gm is aware a recall should be issued their just wating to see how long they can get away with it!!

Chrome has been peeling off driver side door handle. Cuts my skin. One day I was driving on a 4 lane highway going approx 55 MPH. I ended up hydro planning my denali makes a 180 and I'm facing oncoming traffic. I hit the gas to get to the emergency lane but my engine turned off. Is this normal?

It began w/a harsh shift from 2nd to 3rd. It started happening more often, my engine light came on& it began shifting so harsh it would jerk you. Went to my gm dealer & the code was for a throttle body sensor. They replaced the sensors & also found a cracked motor mount. They advised the crack was probably due to the transmission shifting so harsh, also the shifting problem was probably due to the sensor malfunction and the lack of communication from the throttle to the transmission. They replaced the mount & sensors. Charged me $700. Left the dealership, 15 mins later the engine light came on! I took it straight back and days later they called...couldn't find anything wrong, the code again was for the sensors, they installed again & checked the solenoids but they were fine. They advised a new transmission was needed & would be $2400. With no warranty, I couldn't afford the repair, so I have been driving it until I came up $$. It still shifts horrible and often 'revs' while accelerating but won't shift from 2nd-3rd. The engine light comes on, I have to pull over, turn it off 20 mins before it will drive. A day or two later the engine light will go off, but will randomly appear again when the 'no go' happens again. After 'googling' the symptoms, there's several forums stating the exact same issues! I'm afraid this will happen while merging on the hwy or at an intersection. This is the most expensive car I've owned & I'm in shock a vehicle that cost me 50k would end up the worst car I've owned. The transmission is the only safety issue I have, but since I've had the car, I've replaced 3 door handles, it shakes around 60mph, the back passenger door won't open from the outside & the locks intermittently work, both caps on the aux outlets came off after 6 mos along w/ the paint on the A/C controls. Completely disappointed in gm!
