2006 GMC Yukon owner complaints

All 4 door lock actuators have been replaced in less than 3 years. The 2 today total over $500 in parts and labor. *tr

Rear latch has broken off of the vehicle twice now. *tr

On april 2 2015 I experienced "reduced engine power" while taking my daughter to urgent care. The vehicle has had over $2000 work with many different repairmen involved. Gm advised they were sorry but no recalls - nothing they would do to help. Numerous times, we have come close to being involved in an accident when it occurs. We will be driving at normal highway speed, hear a bing and see reduced engine power flash on display. Vehicle will immediately go from original speed to no more than 30-40 MPH - no warning. It is unsafe to be on a busy road as anyone could rear end us, killing my family

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 yukon denali. When driving the traction active light illuminated on the instrument control panel, and then vehicle would no longer accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection. The technician could not provide a remedy, because the failure could not be duplicated. The current and failure mileages were 49000.

Broken, snapped off exhaust manifold bolts. Cause lean condition, and service engine soon light to come on. *js

My GMC YukonXL Denali has faulty fuel gauges therefore there is no way I can determine if I'm are out of gas or not. Sometimes it displays that my tank is on empty and sometimes it display that I am full. I found online that over time, the contacts in the fuel-level sensor could wear and cause an incorrect reading on the gas gauge. In 2011 GM said that they would pay to repair.

One of the owners of the car was driving it to work when the car stopped pulling and would not shift gears. Before this happened, on a few occasions the car had to get a jump from another car to start. Last, the lighter did not work. When the owner got off work in the morning he had the car towed to the dealership to be checked. Later that day the owner was told that the transmission went out and the part was under warranty. The owner was also told that he could not get a rental car. The next day the owner was told that headquarters didn't want to replace the transmission but he could get a rental. Later in the week the owner was told to take the rental car back and the dealership was not going to pay for the rental. The owner was also told that he would have to pay $3500.00 for a new t

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 GMC yukon denali xl. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard abnormally upon engaging. The vehicle failed to decelerate until after the gear lever was shifted into neutral. The contact also noticed brake fluid leaking on the ground. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where the driver's side brake line was replaced. In addition, the transmission oil line was previously replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 GMC yukon xl. While at a stop, the vehicle lost power and the traction control warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle accelerated eventually. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who performed an on-screen driving test, but was unable to find the failure codes. The dealer was contacted (john paul's GMC, greenfield, wi, 414-482-6246) and the technician stated that the failure could not duplicated because the dealer used the same diagnostic system as the independent mechanic. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

2006 GMC yukon xl - purchased in jan. 2006, the vehicle was taken in for service 1 month after taking delivery for foul smell emitting from vehicle while moving. It was diagnosed as the rear differential producing the odor, they changed the fluid to the old synthetic type, and claimed it was the smell of the grape seed extract used in the organic new type fluid. This did not solve the problem, the next time the service center tried an oil which had a higher heat rating, this did not fix the smell problem. On the 4th visit to the service center and after opening a customer claims case with gm, they rebuilt the rear differential. This seemed to solve the problem for about the first 6-8 months, the smell returned and got significantly worse until I opened another case withgm customer claims.

Brakes failed with no warning lights or and kind of indication . Fluid dripping out rear of vehicle. I was almost in a bad accident because of this ,also went into a panic attack. Had other people and my life in danger.

Again, I am writing. I implore you to reinvestigation GMC for rusted brake lines. We replaced ours after they were so rusted, being a camping family, towing a trailer we could have all died. I understand that your office has investigated this and for whatever reason determined it was normal wear and tear but I think that your department is on overload and didn't want to handle another gm recall. Gm and consumers know that the company got away with not issuing a recall. Yes, I am angry at the $800 we had to pay to repair this but I am more angry that after gm was contacted for reimbursement I got no where and they were snarky and admitted as much that they weren't made to be responsible. Again, I ask that you reopen this investigation on behalf of consumers. Afterall, if it was normal wear

While driving my SUV on the freeway, the ABS ,traction controll,brake lite on the instrument cluster started flashing and chiming. Service stability was flashing on the dic. The dealer said the ABS module needs to be replaced. There is a loss of HVAC controll ,no ac and ventillation or heating,loss of cruise control. Please advice.

My vehicle was in motion driving on the freeway at 70 MPH when all of the sudden my car lost power to 30 MPH all the way down to 5 MPH.I pressed on the accelerator trying to gain speed without success the car did not accelerate more than 30 MPH, no matter how much I pressed on the accelerator. When I looked down at the dashboard I saw two warning lights go off "stability sys disabled" followed by "reduced engine power" luckily I was able to move to safety. The road was dry and no bumps to disable stability. The traction control in this vehicle is located far from my steering wheel so I know I did not accidently hit the traction control by accident. After I was able to pull over I was advised to hit the traction control button to see if that would fix the error in the dash. That did not wo

2006 yukon makes a clunking noise when turning the wheel, vibration is also noticed when driving 65 MPH. *ts a month after the vehicle was purchased the consumer started to noticed noises coming from the front end. The vehicle was taken to service dealer who determined that the upper and lower control arms needed to be replaced. After repairs of the control arm the vehicle started to vibrate. The vehicle was returned and they replaced the right front tire which they claimed was defective from the factory. One week later the consumer noticed a clunking noise in the front end. The vehicle was returned to the dealer who advised that the right rear upper and lower control arm were bad from the factory. The parts were ordered and replaced. When the vehicle was at the dealer being ser

Airbag failed function due to lack of inflator performance during my husbands head-on crash and he suffered collar bone and rib fractures,massive head trauma resulting in a crainiotomy,brain damage and death one month later. The vehicle was travelling at 45mph on a paved two lane street.

Recently, my check engine light came on in my 2006 yukon denali xl w/ a 6.0 engine. The diagnostic test showed a gas cap problem. However, this did not fix the issue. Several weeks later, the engine started making what sounded like a clicking sound. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that there was a leak in the driver's side exhaust manifold. While in the shop, the mechanic discovered 2 bolts that were broken on the driver's side and it was found that one of the bolts on the passenger side is broken, but the passenger side exhaust manifold was not yet leaking. The auto shop was able to extract one of the bolts, but has found it impossible to remove the other on the driver's side without pulling the engine. This is a necessary repair because improper exhaust is a direct v

In a camping situation we could only exit from the rear hatch and it could not be opened from the inside. Also, when attempting to unlock the mechanism would not unlock the hatch. This was a very unsafe scenario - locked in the car with no door exit. Finally, climbed from the window. Once home we realized how this was such a bad issue so we did research. Apparently since 2006 all suburban, yukons, and denalis have this recurring issue compounding the already unsafe design of not being able to open rear hatch from the interior. There are thousands of owners that have experienced this issue. It is a design flaw along with a poorly functioning locking mechanism. This will end up in a future fatality. It needs to be recalled immediately. There are homemade fixes on the internet that may
