2017 GMC Yukon Xl

ABOUT 500 MILES PAST THE ORIGINAL POWERTRAIN WARRANTY OF 60,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILED. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DISPLAYING P0700 AND P0711 AND THE GAUGE ON THE DASH IS ERRATIC. I DID RESEARCH, AND THE TRANSMISSION FOR THESE VEHICLES MODEL GEAR 2015 AND 2016 HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES INCLUDING THIS ONE AS OUTLINED IN SPECIAL COVERAGE N192291660 WHICH EXTENDS THE COVERAGE FOR THIS ISSUE TO 120,000 MILES. IF GMC HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE PREVIOUS YEAR TRANSMISSIONS AND KNOWS ABOUT IT ENOUGH TO ISSUE A SPECIAL COVERAGE, THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR THE 2017 MODELS.

WHILE SITTING AT A STOP ON A 9DEGREE INCLINE BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE I STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE UP TO THE STOP SIGN. AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE RPM'S INCREASED BUT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T MOVE AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGING, THEN WITHOUT WARNING IT JERKED FORWARD. I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SUCH AS TRANSMISSION FLUTTER, HARSH SHIFTS IN LOWER GEARS, ETC ETC.

CAR STRUGGLED TO START WHEN I STARTED IT. IDLE WAS/HAS BEEN REALLY SHAKY. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT A DIAGNOSIS FROM 2 COMPANIES FOR MY ENGINE. BOTH SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL 8 FUEL INJECTORS. GMC HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THESE ISSUES, BUT IT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR MY STATE OF UTAH. HERE IS THE CODE FOR REFERENCE FOR YUKON #N182198000. MY CAR IS A YUKON XL 2017 THAT NEEDED FUEL INJECTORS AT 85,000 MILES! HOW IS THIS OKAY? THE REPAIR COST $1,990.28. THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY HAS BEEN CHANGED FOR 2016 AND 2017 GMC VEHICLES SO THAT IT IS NOW 60,000 MILES OR 5 YEARS. MECHANICS HAVE REPORTED THAT GM HAS CHANGED THE WAY THEY ARE BUILDING ENGINES IN ORDER TO REDUCE COSTS, BUT IT APPEARS THAT CONSUMERS SUCH AS MYSELF ARE BEARING THE BRUNT OF THE COSTS. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THE EXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY COULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL STATES IN THE U.S. VS. THOSE WHO HAVE MANDATED IT BECAUSE OF LEGISLATION OR LEGAL ENFORCEMENT.

THE NAVIGATION AND INFOTAINMENT FAILS ON A REGULAR BASIS. CANNOT USE TOUCH SCREEN WHEN IT FAILS. FLORIDA DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG. THE SCREEN WILL TURN TO A CLOCK WITHOUT TOUCHING IT. CANNOT USE NAVIGATION ON MANY DAYS. HAD TO LOCATE A NEW DOCTOR AND THE NAVIGATION FAILED! HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THIS STARTED IN MAY 10, 2018 THROUGH TODAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2021. IT IS ONGOING DAILY.

DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS, IN AUTOMATIC 4 WHEEL DRIVE OPTION. I TURNED THE CORNER BY MY HOUSE ON A CITY STREET GOING NO MORE THAN 7 MPH. I WAS TAPPING THE BRAKE AS I TURNED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AS I WAS BRAKING (THE BRAKES SEEMED WEIRD; KIND OF LIKE ABS), BUT MY VEHICLE SLID AND HIT THE CURB ON THE STREET I WAS TURNING IN. THIS IS KITTY CORNER FROM MY HOUSE. MY RIGHT REAR TIRE DROVE UP ONTO THE CURB AND HALF WAY ONTO THE SIDEWALK, BEFORE GOING BACK OFF. I DROVE RIGHT INTO MY GARAGE FROM THERE AND THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE. MY WHOLE TIRE/WHEEL WAS BENT AT AN ANGLE WITH THE BOTTOM GOING INWARD. THE TIRE AND WHEEL DID NOT HAVE ANY DAMAGE. THERE WERE SCRAPES ON THE HUB CAP. WE TOOK THE TIRE OFF AND SAW THAT THE HALF SHAFT HAD SNAPPED RIGHT IN HALF. AFTER LOOKING AT THIS, THERE WAS BUBBLING AROUND IT. IT SEEMS THAT THE WAY THIS WAS MANUFACTURED IS NOT IN ANYWAY SAFE. THANKFULLY, I WAS RIGHT BY MY HOUSE. IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER IN WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS, WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I SLID INTO SOMETHING ELSE GOING FASTER. I AM GLAD MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE. I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD BE COVERED IN THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY; 5-YEAR/60,000. ONE PERSON WITH GM STATED IT WAS INCLUDED WITH THE 3-YEAR/36,000 OPTION. OUR MILEAGE IS BARELY OVER AT 36,352. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO, STATED THEY WILL NOT BUDGE OVER 36,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED NO MATTER WHAT! THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED WHEN THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE TIRE. HOW COULD SOMETHING LIKE THIS JUST SNAP IN HALF? IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT! THIS VEHICLE WAS EXPENSIVE AND APPARENTLY BUILT VERY CHEAP!!! WE JUST HAD A RECALL FIXED TOO! WE HAVE ONLY PAID TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS IN THE NEXT TOWN OVER ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY. MY PICS ARE MORE THAN 5MB. THEY ARE 7+MB.

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 88K MILES. MY SISTER IN LAW ALSO HAS A 2017 BOUGHT FROM ANOTHER STATE AND IT WENT OUT AT 79K MILES A WEEK AFTER MINE. PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WORKS IF YOU PUSH ON IT THEN RANDOMLY GOES OUT (WIRING/ELECTRICAL ISSUE). OF COURSE THE DRIVERS SIDE TAIL LIGHT IS THE ONLY ONE ON RECALL. CRUISE CONTROL SET ITSELF AT OVER 100MPH AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATED UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKES. I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE BREAKING SYSTEM SPECIFICALLY FOR MY VIN NUMBER THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETE.
