2008 GMC Yukon Denali Xl

DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY. VEHICLE GAUGES BEGIN TO ACT ERRATICALLY, VEHICLE HEAVES AND LURCHES, THEN 100% POWER FAILURE. NOTHING WORKED, EVEN HAZZARD LIGHTS. AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF. WAS ABLE TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL, HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN DOOR LOCKS. AFTER 10-15 MINUTES, THE POWER CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME. HAPPENED AGAIN ON 3/23/14. AGAIN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ELECTRIC COMPONENTS (RADIO, GAUGES, POWER CORD ACCESSORIES) BEGIN ACTING ERRATICALLY AND THEN 100% COMPLETE POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THE GM DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE OR FIND THE PROBLEM. I FEEL 100% UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS. *TR

THE 2008 GMC YUKON AND 2008 GM SUBURBANS HAVE A WIDESPREAD WELL-DOCUMENTED, REPEATED FAILURE OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS AS A RESULT OF A DEFECT WHICH GM WILL NOT ADDRESS VIA RECALL. I HAVE HAD TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS OF FAILED DOOR LOCKS IN MY 2008 GMC YUKON. WHEN THE ACTUATOR FAILS, MY CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS EVEN AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRES SINCE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES ARE WIDESPREAD, COMMON (EVEN OCCURRING REPEATEDLY IN THE SAME CAR) AND CREATE A DANGER OF CHILDREN POTENTIALLY FALLING FROM THE CAR WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE COMPUTER WAS RESET. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RE-ILLUMINATED AND THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHT WOULD SHUT OFF. APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHUT OFF. THREE MONTHS LATER WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, BRAKE AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. WITHIN MINUTES, THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND WHEN RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ILLUMINATING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND WAS NOT SERVICED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY EIGHT TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,778.
