The security system engages while driving and the vehicle locks all doors and prevents the windows from opening dash stops working cant tell how fast your going and when you stop the vehicle and shut it off none of the electric locks work or the fob you have to unlock the vehicle manually to get out.
No one will get the parts in to repair my airbags and it's been years. Its as if they want me to get rid of my truck but I don't want to. There's also a recall on something smoking and the year starts at 2007 yet my truck isn't included which is very strange some I just had this happen to me on 2/9 and had to have my truck towed and repaired at american petroleum on quarterfield rd.
When opening the hatch or back of the vehicle, the lights will go on and off and the vehicle will not start up. You have to wait for 5 minutes sometimes longer for the engine to restart. The vehicle will be in stationary, I have to turn the vehicle off if I am going to open the back if I don't it messes up all the gages in front and will not operate.

GM recalled the takata airbags almost 4 years ago with no fix for my vehicle yet. This is a safety hazard. Also, all the warning lights are lit on the dashboard but no codes are stored. Bad ground.
When driving, if adjusting steering wheel position ip or down, all dash board lights illuminate and engine shuts off. I shift into neutral and re start engine without issues. This happens every time I move the column
The plastic dash board has been cracking over the years. It is now breaking into jagged pieces that are free to fly around the passenger cabin. Cracked pieces around the air bag pose a potential problem to the eyes and face of passengers in the event of a crash. Electrical wires are also exposed to uv light causing premature failure. This vehicle has been meticulously cared for with no other major failures to speak of. I believe that the potentially dangerous dash situation has been caused by substandard materials used in manufacturing.
Rear driver tail light wiring does not work. Put new bulbs in and only thing that works are the brake and reverse light. There is no running light that comes
Takata recall GM recall#49151 I have been in 1 car accident and my airbags did not activate at all when the impact was substantial enough for them to inflate.
Takata recall. Recall issued in 2016 but as of 12/04/2017 there is still not a solution. I have an airbag indicator light currently on and am afraid that airbag will not inflate when needed or might inflate when not needed. Also, in unrelated issue the entire display on the dash has stopped working as well. I have searched web and I do see indications that there are active recalls for electrical however my dealer says there are not any electrical recalls for my vehicle.
The brakes on MY07 Yukon work intermittently. When driving the truck first thing in the morning at speeds of 15mph to 20 mph brakes fail to engage and have had several close calls.
The contact owns a 2007 GMC Yukon. While driving approximately 75 mph, the instrument panel gauges became inoperable and the vehicle shut off. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
Driving through town when the car started slamming into gear. Right before, the ABS warning light came on and the dash said "stabilitrack disengaged". car started beeping and lost power. When I was able, pulled over and shut down car. It would not start. Towed it to the dealer and they had difficulty diagnosing. Ultimately replace ip junction box and fp gateway. Same thing happened again 10,000 miles later.
While driving on surface streets, the yellow ABS warning came on, "stabilitrack" light came on. The warning lights started dinging, the transmission slammed between gears, the lights came and went and the door locks were going up and down continuously. Lost power also, pulled off and shot off engine. Truck would not restart as electrical system was dead. Same thing happened 10K miles earlier. This has happened 2times and the car only has 53,000 miles. Repairs took over 10 days as the engine was not communicating with the car. Replaced engine control module
My wife and I had just purchased a used 2007 GMC Yukon. Little did we know about the major issue the truck has with the reduced power reading that comes up. I really think that GMC needs to put out a recall for these issues. My wife was on her way home from a work meeting and driving on the freeway with her sister and my wife's and my daughter in the GMC Yukon and she was doing the speed limit and all of a sudden she didn't know what was going on. She called me and she was in a panic. She had to pull off the freeway and come to a complete stop and when she did the vehicle had died it turned off and she had our 2 month old daughter with out A/C and in 100 degree weather. This issue puts the people's families at risk that own these vehicles and also other drivers families at risk you can not replace a persons life if its taken away and the hardship it causes but you can replace a vehicle so why not come up with solution so the road may become a little bit of a safer place. When my wife had this happen other drivers were not courteous or understanding when someone puts their hazard lights on that something is wrong, they just kept flying past her. Now with several people having this same issue with the same GM make this issue should be resolved. I have looked up and saw Chevy doesn't have this issue and Chevy is the same company. If the national highway traffic safety association could create this recall and they could use the same part from Chevy then surely this issue would be fixed and it would be a safer vehicle. If you were a company owner wouldn't you want to stand by your companies production and create solutions if there were these common issues" wouldn't you want to help make the road a safer place by one little fix" it wouldn't
I will be driving and my truck will just lose power. I push on the gas pedal and it goes no where. I have to coast off the highway and then I can stop and turn it off for a few minutes then start it back up with the check engine light on. I have changed the tps 2 times, the entire throttle body, and the mass air flow sensor and it's still doing it.
My engine speed reduced abruptly while traveling speed of 65mph on the freeway. This has almost caused an accident several times. A reduced engine speed, service stabilization track and service traction control signs come on. If I pull over and wait 1 minute it starts and doesn't do again for 15 minutes. Sometimes this doesn't happen for a week. I read forums and it appears to be a faulty throttle body, and only with GM vehicles, but GM fails to request a recall. Some have spent hundreds of dollars to replace, and it still does not fix the problem.
The GMC continues to randomly not start or deactivate the stabilitrack, anti-lock brakes were disabled, and the check engine light are all on. This problem happens almost every day and the dealer is unable to identify the source of the problem after several attempts.
