I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 3/29/19 AND SEVERAL TIMES NOW MY YUKON'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON AFTER THE TRANSMISSION BUCKS, JUMPS OR JERKS HARD, NOT SURE WHAT TO CALL IT BUT IT BUCKED OR SHOVED MY CAR FORWARD WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP (NOT PRESSING GAS PEDAL). THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS AS IT INTERFERES WITH TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT WAS SUCH A HARD JOLT THAT IT FOR A MINUTE I THOUGHT ANOTHER CAR REAR ENDED ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE AFTER I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO BEGIN SLOWING DOWN AS I WAS PREPARING TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT, I WAS PROBABLY GOING AROUND 20MPH. IT ALSO HAPPENED TWICE WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A ROAD, PROBABLY GOING 35 MPH AND JUST FELT A JOLT LIKE SOMETHING KICKED MY CAR FORWARD SUDDENLY. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE JERKING PROBLEM IS RELATED TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, POSSIBLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND CAUSES GEARS NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. I'M GOING TO PUT IN MY MOST RECENT DATE THAT THIS HAPPENED ON YOUR FORM BUT IT'S HAPPENED MORE THAN

WE WERE TRAVELING IN OUR YUKON WHEN ALL POWER WAS LOST TO THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK FUNCTION ENABLED BEFORE WE WERE STOPPED. SINCE THERE WAS NO POWER AND IT IS PUSH BUTTON START, THERE WAS NO WAY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. OUR DEALER SAID TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE WHEEL. LUCKILY OUR CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE DEALER SAID THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE IS FULLY INTACT, BUT HAD FAILED INTERNALLY. WHAT IS MORE CONCERNING IS THE FACT THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE WHEEL TO STEER IF THIS HAPPENS. EVEN AT 65 MPH.

OEM LED TAIL LIGHTS HAVE FAILED ON MY GMC WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE BULB IS GOOD, YET THE LED PORTION (WHICH COSTS OVER $800 TO FIX) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS PORTION IS THE ENTIRE REAR BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING. THIS IS VERY COMMON AMONG THESE VEHICLES HEATED SEATS QUIT WORKING ON DENALI. THE BACKRESTS STILL HEAT UP, BUT THE BOTTOMS DON'T HEAT UP AT ALL. ALSO, THEY WILL NOT TURN ON IN REMOTE START MODE EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SET TO TURN ON IN THIS MODE.

FAULTY TAIL LIGHT HOUSING, RESULTS IN TAIL/BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. NOT THE RESULT OF DAMAGE, SIMPLY BAD DESIGN IN THE LED HOUSING AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WAS POORLY CONSTRUCTED, AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENTIRE HOUSING AT $750 INCLUDING LABOR.
