Defect investigations
Pedestrian alert sounds
the federal safety agency received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, the federal safety agency opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified the federal safety agency he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by the federal safety agency regarding the subject matter of the petition.

What 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Like the other 9000 people identified on facebook among other forums, the dash on my yukon is cracked. I am concerned about putting my family in this vehicle. This is a product defect. I wouldn't mind spending the money to put a new one in, but I dont have the confidence the new dash will last any longer. Cracking happens right near the passenger airbag and right in front of the drivers instrument panel.
Multiple cracks on the dashboard. This problem was discovered several years ago.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 gmc yukon hybrid. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle surged forward. The contact stated that the failure occurred daily since 2016. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (thomas chevrolet, 1263 w baltimore pike, media, pa 19063), but they could not replicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and case number: 8-4516506076 was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 109,300.
All three of my door locks no longer lock electronically. They must be locked manually. I have two children and this is a major safety concern. Many complaints have been filed to gm indicating that this is a manufacturing error. My car has 85000 miles and many that have complained have far less. This is clearly an issue that should be recalled. I reached out to gm with no solution offered other than them basically saying I am on my own. They did offer to help me find a local dealer I could shell out my money to. Please help. This issue occurs when the car is at rest and in motion.
"takata recall" repair still pending...need a fix as takata is filing for bk
I bought a 2009 gmc yukon hybrid in july 2016. The dash is cracked around the airbags. I feel like this is a safety concern for the airbags and should have been recalled and repaired by gmc.
The dashboard has cracked in several places without any known cause.
Upon being stopped at a light at a main intersection and then making a left hand turn, the vehicle shut down and the check engine light came on the panel. We were able to coast to the side of the road. After a few minutes, the vehicle started up for about 2miles then shut off again. The dealer was not able to replicate and said no issues found. They gave us the vehicle back only to have the same issue 5 days later in which the vehicle was towed back to the dealer. Diagnostics then showed a new battery was needed (?) and a sealant resealed. Well, a few days later (less than a week) it happened again. The dealer has since had the vehicle, claiming nothing is wrong and has not been able to replicate. (all instances were during constant rainfall and the vehicle being driven at least 15-20minutes in the rain. ) we bought the vehicle used, bought a warranty and are now stuck with trading in the vehicle!!
3 of the 4 door locks failed to work as intended, I.e., with fob and had to be manually manipulated to open doors. One door could be opened with key. One door could only be opened if lock was pulled up manually - it would lock automatically, but took manual intervention to get the lock in the un-lock position. Unless there was an adult in this position to open the lock, the door could not be accessed from the outside. This was a rear passenger door and caused great concern when children were in the car. I have had the 3 locks replaced at a great dollar cost, but could not in good conscience have children in the rear seat without having it done. I have requested reimbursement from gmc as I do not believe a 75% failure rate on door locks is acceptable safe performance of this vehicle.
