2008 GMC Yukon Denali

I WENT TO OPEN MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR TO GET INTO MY CAR AND THE DOOR HANDLE JUST RIPPED OFF. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I'M NOT A STRONG WOMAN AND I DID NOTHING DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER DAY. NOW I HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND OPEN MY DOOR TILL I CAN GET IT FIXED. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I HAD MY BACK DOOR HANDLE COME LOOSE. IT DID NOT RIP OFF, BUT IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. I HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. ONE LITTLE THING AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR. MA 10/2 UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, WAS LOADING THE VEHICLE WITH GROCERIES AND COULD NOT GET THE BACK LEFT DOOR CLOSED, WAS VERY UNSAFE COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT, NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING, VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, WAS TOLD THE RUBBER WAS DEFECTIVE AROUND BOTH DOORS AND THE LATCHES WERE RUSTED WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE DOOR FLEW OFF AND HIT SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY? WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE? I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN ON A SAFETY RECALL, NOW OF COURSE, THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR POWER DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN WHEN USING THE AUTOMATIC KEY FOB. THE DOORS COULD ONLY BE OPENED MANUALLY. IN ADDITION, THE REAR LIFT GATE WOULD NOT RELEASE UNLESS MANUALLY OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WENT OUT; HAD REPLACED BY GM DEALERSHIP IN WILKESBORO, NORTH CAROLINA. APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR LATER, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED REQUIRING ONE TO MANUALLY ACTIVATE THE DOOR LOCK EACH TIME. WHEN NEEDING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE REGULAR DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE TO REACH THE DOOR LOCK LATCH TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. NOW. 2 WEEKS AGO, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR NO LONGER WORKS. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AS SMALL CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO MANIPULATE THE DOOR LATCH AND OPEN THE DOOR AT ANY TIME WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO; FOR SAFETY OF THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE; HAVING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY IS A TREMENDOUS FEAT "OPENING THE DOOR" FOR SOMEONE TO POTENTIALLY ROB, MUG, ETC. THIS PERSON WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FUMBLE WITH CLIMBING ALL OVER THE VEHICLE TO UNLOCK DOORS OR LOCK THEM MANUALLY. GMC MUST KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM AS REPORTED BY LOTS OF PEOPLE BUT HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL TO HAVE THESE PARTS REPLACED. AFTERMARKET DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL LEAVING ONE AT THE MERCY OF THE HIGH PRICED DEALERSHIPS TO CONTINUE TO GOUGE PATRONS WHO "HAVE NO CHOICE" BUT TO RELY ON THEIR INFLATED MEANS OF REPAIR. UNLESS ONE IS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND A WRECKED VEHICLE AT A SALVAGE YARD FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE STEPS UP AND DEMANDS THAT THESE PROBLEMS BE CORRECTED. I AM ONE OF THESE PEOPLE!!!! *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK OR OPEN WITH THE REMOTE OR FRONT DRIVE DOOR SWITCHES. TURNS OUT THAT THE LOCK ACTUATOR HAS GONE BAD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. MY SON IS 4 YEARS OLD AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE CAN NOT LOCK THE DOOR FROM THE FRONT - HE OPENED THE REAR DOOR WHILE CAR WAS DRIVING . LUCKILY HE WAS IN CAR SEAT. THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR PARENTS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE SAME REAR PASSENGER DOOR SIDE LOCK ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES. UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES FOR US. NEED TO HAVE GMC LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. ONLINE THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. POSES A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR PARENTS WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. PLEASE HAVE GMC RECALL AND INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE TRULY GETS HURT. *TR
