I HAVE HAD REPEATED FAILURES OF ALL THE DOOR LOCKS IN MY YUKON. THEY WILL ONLY WORK MANUALLY NOT WITH THE AUTO LOCK FEATURE. SAFETY IS A CONCERN AS YOU NEED TO REMEMBER TO LOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY AND THEN UNLOCK IT MANUALLY TO GET IN THE CAR.

I HAVE HAD REPEATED FAILURES OF ALL THE DOOR LOCKS IN MY YUKON. THEY WILL ONLY WORK MANUALLY NOT WITH THE AUTO LOCK FEATURE. SAFETY IS A CONCERN AS YOU NEED TO REMEMBER TO LOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY AND THEN UNLOCK IT MANUALLY TO GET IN THE CAR. THE AUTO DOOR LOCK FEATURE (LOCKING AT 5 MPH OR ABOVE) ALSO DOES NOT WORK INVITING A CAR JACKING INCIDENT. I HAVE HAD 3 REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW A 4TH DOOR IS AFFECTED. *JS

2008 GMC YUKON DOOR ACTUATORS GOING OUT REPETITIVELY. I HAVE TO HAVE TWO ACTUATORS REPLACED AT ABOUT $400 EACH FOR NEARLY $800. TWO FAILURES OUT OF FOUR ACTUATORS IS AA TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FAILURE RATE. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT. THE FACT THAT THE MANUAL UNLATCH IS UN REACHABLE MAKES THIS ISSUE EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUS. MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE DOOR INSTEAD OF BEING ABLE TO USE MY KEY REMOTE IS NOT EASY. ONE NEEDS TO CRAWL IN THE BACK SEAT TO UNLATCH THE BACK DOOR. THIS NEED SERIOUS ATTENTION! THIS IS A PAIN AND CAUSES ME TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER BUYING A DIFFERENT BRAND. DO WHAT YOU WISH GM. YOUR LOSS DOWN THE ROAD AS I WILL TELL AS MANY AS I CAN TO FIND ANOTHER VEHICLE TO BUY. *TR

Opened Jan 27, 2023 · Closed Aug 7, 2023

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System:propulsion System

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
