2008 GMC YUKON DENALI Electrical System Problems

INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES. DOORS LOCKS AND WINDOWS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. SOMETIMES WHEN I SHUT MY CAR OFF IT DIES. LIKE I CAN'T TURN IT BACK ON. RUNNING BOARDS DON'T GO UP, CAN'T LOCK IT, NOTHING. DEAD. THEN 15 MINUTES LATER IT'S FINE. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING, IT'S LIKE IT'S CUTTING OUT, NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER OR DIFFERENT WARNING LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY FLASH. I JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. I'M JUST AFRAID SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. WE ALSO USE THE YUKON TO TOW A TRAILER. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON IT. THE SHOP CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THEY JUST LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M CRAZY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER (REEDMAN TOLL AUTO WORLD, 1700 EAST LINCOLN HWY #101, LANGHORNE, PA 19047) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS) AND THE DECISION ON THE PETITION WAS PENDING. THE REPAIR FOR THE WARNING SENSOR WOULD CAUSE THE BUMPER TO HAVE TO BE REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000.

JUST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THE RECALL ON THE GMC SILVERADOS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ON MY YUKON DENALI. I PURCHASED A CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2016. AND I'VE HAD AT LEAST EIGHT OR MORE INCIDENTS. OF THE CAR EITHER NOT STARTING OR SHUTTING OFF FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS AT ABOUT A 15 MILE AN HOUR TURN. I FEEL AS THOUGH MY VEHICLE COULD BE AFFECTED THE SAME WAY AS THESE ARE. I WOULD LIKE A REMEDY TO WHY MY CAR SHUTS OFF DURING A LOW-RPM TURN. WHEN THE CAR COMES BACK ON ALL GAUGE LIGHTS COME ON FOR A BRIEF SECOND. AND THE THERMOSTAT GOES UP A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THE FAN HAD SHUT OFF FOR A MINOR SECOND.

3 OF THE DOOR ACTUATORS BROKE AND WEREN'T ABLE TO BE LOCKED USING THE KEYPAD OR THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS. *TR

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...

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...
