Tl*the contact owns a 2008 gmc yukon. The contact stated that the vehicle was shut off and locked with the key fob. When she attempted to enter the vehicle again, she was able to open the driver side door without using the key fob but the anti-theft system began to sound. She disengaged the system using the key fob but the driver side door would not lock. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop where the contact was informed that driver side door motor failed; it was repaired. The following day, the failure occurred on the rear driver side door. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 39,600 and the current mileage was 39,680.
I own a 2008 gmc yukon. The vehicle has power door locks and the actuator on the door locks has gone out on all four doors. They replaced the first 3 under warranty, but they would not do it on the last one as vehicle was out of warranty. My son helped me install a new one in the last one, but we had to buy the parts. My sorry dealership wanted $300 to fix something that is obviously flawed in the first place. The door lock has now gone out again on a back door that they had already fixed, supposedly they will repair this one free of charge. I guess I will take it in and see if they will honor their repair warranty.
2008 gmc yukon. Consumer states problem with vehicle door locks *tgw the consumer stated the door lock actuators had to be replaced twice.
2008 gmc yukon door actuators going out repeatedly. I have to manually unlock the door instead of being able to use my key remote as the drivers side and 2 passenger doors have gone out. This becomes a safety issue as I am at my business until 9pm and would like to unlock my door by remote.
First owner of a 2009 gmc yukon has had 3 door lock failures, which not only qualifies under the lemon law, but also poses a major safety issue. The first door lock failed. Gmc does not consider door locks as a warranty item or safety item so I was forced to pay for a replacement. The next week, another door lock failed. The dealer did not charge for the replacement. Now, a third door lock failed only 10 days after the last repair. Why is this a safety concern? My child was able to open the door while all doors were locked. Due to e failure, the door was unlocked unknowingly. My child and any child or person risks falling out of a moving vehicle. Secondly, should a car accident occur, unlocked doors could result in a door opening and ejecting the passenger leading to death. There is a flood of complaints on the web for this issue. Gmc has not owned up to it, but due to the major safety issues, this should be investigated and faulty actuators and the known pattern failure in wiring harness causing the failures should be addressed as an immediate recall.
