Vehicle unexpectedly caught fire in the front passengers side. The vehicle had been parked for several hours at the time of the fire. Fire investigators believe the fire was electrical and paid substantial attention to the front passengers side dash area on both the inboard and engine compartment sides of the dash. This is consistent with past reports of fires starting due to the heated washer fluid system which this vehicle had. There was no active recalls on this car.

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. We took it to driver's automotive in the woodlands, texas, and had them run a diagnostic on the vehicle. The auto repairman checked the battery and cables and said nothing shows up in the diagnostic but eventually they did replace the cbm. We paid $ 718.00 to replace the cbm, trusting that was the problem. The vehicle started up fine for several weeks after that but since december 21, the yukon has duplicated the erratic light flickering, radio and ignition not working, the rear door not opening (using the car remote as well as the power button on front console inside vehicle). In addition, the doors won't lock and the gauges flicker uncontrollably and the vehicle won't start. We are very concerned. A diagnostic says nothing is wrong but with the electrical issues, I am fearful of what could happen.

2008 gmc yukon xl - 5 door lock actuator failures. All four door locks have failed and now the rear passenger lock actuator has failed for the second time. This is a serious safety issue as you either have to drive with the door unlocked or if locked you risk not being able to get a child out quickly if necessary. I have contacted gm and they referred the issue to my local rep who has denied covering the part, according to my dealer. Many cases of this same failure can be found online and in my case, 5 failures of the same part. I would say this indicates a problem. Why won't gm acknowledge this and offer to fix it? Will it takes tragedy like a child not being able to be removed in an emergency?

Door lock mechanism multiple fails and have found this is widespread among these vehicles. Find it dangerous as you cannot access the interior in case of emergency especially with children.

We have owned this vehicle since brand new. Three of the door lock actuators from three different doors were defective and had to be replaced at different times during the years of ownership. First the front driver's door, then the front passenger door and finally and recently the rear passenger side door. With the front doors, they didn't always open or lock with the remote control or using the electronic controls causing safety and security problems. The rear passenger door is the same where our younger daughter sits and didn't always lock or unlock causing obvious safety and security concerns. The only way to ensure it locks was to manually lockmor unlock the doors. I am extremely disappointed that I have replaced three of four door lock actuators in the four years we have owned this vehicle. Never before have I owned a vehicle with such an obvious defect that hasn't been covered beyond the warranty when it is a safety problem. My last repair bill was over $160.00. I believe the others occurred during the warranty so those were covered. I am anticipating the last door lock actuator will fail some day, so,far it is working.
