2005 GMC Yukon

DT: IN THIS VEHICLE THE CONSOLE IS WIDER AND THE SEATS ARE NARROWER. THE CONSOLE IS IN THE CONSUMER'S ARM AREA SPACE WHEN MAKING A HARD RIGHT TURN AND FOR ANY REASON, THE CONSUMER WOULD HIT THE CONSOLE OR THE ARM REST. NOTICED THIS EARLY ON. TALKED TO GMC, THEY TOOK THE INFORMATION AND SAID THAT THE ENGINEERS WILL CONTACT CONSUMER . *AK THE CONSUMER STATED NO ONE HAS CONTACTED. *JB

WE HAD OUR SECOND BRAND NEW 2005 YUKON SLT FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK, WITH APPROXIMATELY 250 MILES ON IT WHEN THE "STABILITRAK" AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOCK UP. WE GOT THIS VEHICLE AFTER OUR 1ST YUKON LOCKED UP APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH EARLIER. WE HAD JUST LEFT OUR HOME AND WERE ON THE STREET WE LIVE ON DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, WHEN WE FELT SOMETHING WEIRD, HEARD A GRINDING NOISE, AND THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP. THE "SERVICE STABILITY" LIGHT WAS ON. THE IS EXACTLY THE SAME SCENARIO THAT HAPPENED ON OUR OTHER 2005 YUKON. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES PRESENT IN THE COMPUTER, OR ANY ROUTE CAUSE. WE FEEL VERY UNCERTAIN OF THE "STABILITRAK" SYSTEM AND FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY REVIEW. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH OR FASTER, WE COULD BE INJURED OR DEAD. THERE MUST BE OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS MALFUNCTION. THROUGH RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED SEVERAL MONTHS APART AND AT DIFFERENT MANUFACTURING FACILITY THAN THE FIRST YUKON. WE WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CALL US REGARDING THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE, THIS IS THE SECOND YUKON TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. *NM

WE HAD OUR BRAND NEW 2005 YUKON SLT FOR 1 WEEK AND IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 226 MILES ON IT, WHEN THE "STABILITRAK" ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOCK UP. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON MY NORMAL ROUTE, A FAIRLY STRAIGHT ROUTE, WHEN THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE, BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO MANEUVER, AND TOTALLY LOCKED UP. HAD I BEEN DRIVING FASTER, I AM CONFIDENT THAT WE COULD HAVE ROLLED OR BEEN IN AN AWFUL ACCIDENT. THE "SERVICE STABILITY" LIGHT WAS ON. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION. GENERAL MOTORS CONCLUDED THAT THE YAW SENSOR HAD NOT BEEN CALIBRATED, CAUSING IT TO ENABLE THE STABILITRAK PROGRAM WITHOUT REASON OR WARNING. WE DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT EXPLANATION FROM GENERAL MOTORS. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED AND GOT US ANOTHER BRAND NEW YUKON. WE WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CALL US REGARDING THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. *NM

I RENTED A 2005 GMC YUKON FROM ENTERPRISE AT THE SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA. AIRPORT LOCATION. WHILE DRIVING HOME ON HIGHWAY 101 NORTHBOUND OVER CUESTA GRADE ON THE DECENT OF THE NORTH SIDE OF THE GRADE THE HOOD POPPED OPEN, FORTUNATELY THE ADDITIONAL LATCH CAUGHT THE HOOD THUS PREVENTING THE HOOD FROM FLYING BACK AND SMASHING THE WINDSHIELD. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THAT MOMENT AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SECURE THE HOOD. I DETERMINED THAT THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER LOCATED NEAR THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS AREA HAS VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE AND IS FAR TO EASY TO RELEASE. I HAD BEEN LISTENING TO THE RADIO, TAPPING MY LEFT FOOT AROUND AND WITHOUT KNOWING IT I HAD CAUGHT THE HOOD RELEASE WITH MY FOOT AND POPPED THE HOOD OPEN. I FEEL THAT AN AFTER MARKET REPAIR COULD BE MADE BY CREATING A ATTACHABLE FLAP STYLE DOOR THAT WOULD COVER THE RELEASE LATCH UNTIL IT WAS ACTUALLY NEEDED. I ALLERTED THE RENTAL AGENCY OF THE DEFECT AND ADVISED THEM NOT TO RENT THAT VEHICLE OUT UNTIL A CORRECTION TO THAT DEFECT HAD BEEN COMPLETED. I ASKED THAT THEY PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO THE COMPANY AND THAT THEY LET GMC KNOW AS WELL. THANK YOU, HILY GREENE. *AK
