Message on dash saying airbag is defective
Srs: service air bag light on; srs scanner gave codes b0026; b0043; b0044; b0084; b0100; and b0104. Found technical service bulletins possibly related to my specific vehicle (tsb#050941001; nhtsa#10013456) and (tsb#pit-4662; nhtsa#10026744). Called gmc service center; they claimed unable to assist.suggested taking it to local gmc dealer to run codes at my expense. And then, possibly, depending on results/diagnosis, gmc "may" be able to offer monetary assistance for repairs. So, first have to find the time and the money to take it in. Meanwhile, told rep i would probably just disable the srs. The light is annoying and have been told that the whole system is disabled anyway while the service air bag light is on. Rep seemed amused and said that her hands are tied.

My 2005 yukon 4wd went out. It started as an intermittent problem. The first time i took it to the dealer since it was not currently having problems they were unable to identify the issue. This time it was out for several days before i finally took it in. Although nothing extreme happened, since i was aware of the issue, but if someone was not aware of the issue they could potentially lose control of there vehicle since the traction control system is also disabled in this problem. Replaced the 4wd actuator total bill 762.00 was also told it could potentially short out the brain box for the 4wd operating system. The first time it happened it was when the weather was cold, never had an issue all summer until now, when the weather turned cold. My vehicle only had 38,000 miles the first time and 52,000 this time. My 1999 yukon had 158,000 and i never had an issue with it.

2005 faulty gmc yukon dash system.dealer originally told me it was the fuel pump but suggested it might be alcohol in the gasoline. I tried using ethanol free gas and it worked.i couldn't find any ethanol free gas on dec 25th so i had to use 10% ethanol and my entire dash has quit working.i can't tell how fast i'm going, if i have fuel or how many miles i have on my vehicle. The gmc dealership wants me to replace my fuel pump, dash board and they estimate it will cost around $1500.it worked fine without ethanol!
Interior vehicle fire in dash. 1st smoke then center of dash erupted into flames. Vehicle is now totalled. Gmc is aware of this condition and issued no recalls. Appears service bulletins were issued about replacing over heating resistors for the (havc) operating system. The fan would either stop working in a few positions /stop working all together or overheat and set fire.

During low light times the indication is barely visible and day light hours you are unable to see the indication to ensure the proper gear of vehicle which could result in selecting wrong gear.
My speedometer quit working and i checked and it is a factory defect.
The contact owns a 2005 gmc yukon.while driving various speeds, the speedometer would become erratic.the oil gauge would remain at zero and the speedometer would stop at 40 mph when the vehicle was shut off.the manufacturer stated that a diagnostic was needed at the cost of $90 to determine the cause of the speedometer failure.no repairs have been made to date.the vin was unknown.the failure and current mileages were less than 56,600.
I have noticed over the past year that the shift indicator in the instrument cluster has been intermittent/not visible during any operation of car operation.this has been a complaint to the local dealer do to a safety issue in which you do not see what position the shift indicator is in.

While driving from chicago to milwaukee on 1/26/11 my speedometer started to indicate very abnormal speeds.my portable gps indicated i was traveling 62 mph yet my yukon's speedometer read 110 mph.when i reached my destination in milwaukee and turned my yukon off, the speedometer remained at 55 mph.i immediately googled faulty yukon speedometers and found a large quantity of sites containing defect information about gmc yukon's speedometers.i also read that gm supposedly sent out letters to customers.i can assure you that i never received a letter about this.having 3 small children i would not let something as serious as this go unfixed had i been made aware.i am now at 96,000 miles and see that gm's "recall" ends at 80,000 miles.it would have been nice to have been notified so i could have had this repaired.this is exactly one of the many reasons people have lost faith in gm and other american car manufacturers.

2005 gmc yukon speedometer malfunctioning.occurs every other day approximately.vehicle may be traveling at 10 mph while the speedometer may register 50 mph.
Faulty speedometer 2005 gmc yukon.i recently saw a news report on faulty speedometers with gm vehicles done back in 2007 and i am experiencing the same problem with my 2005 gmc yukon. Currently my speedometer sits at 60 mph in park and gets pinned at 120 mph on the road when i'm only moving around 40 mph. I have contacted gmc and they told me the warranty on this problem is 5 yrs or 70,000 miles. One problem, i am at 91,000 miles and they told me gmc mailed out letters stating the speedometer problems. I never received this letter!! now they are offering to fix the problem for $600!! i have also contacted gm customer help line and the said the same thing. My question is if gmc admits to the faulty speedometer then why did they put a 70,000 mile cap on the warranty for this issue which is clearly a safety hazard?? could you please help? also do you have any advice with this issue?thank you for your help and for looking out for the consumer.
Starting in november 2007, i have been having problems with my 2005 yukon speedometer.it would either start at 60mph, not go higher than 45mph, and lately it just failed.it's not registering any speed.on july 25, 2008, i was told by a gmc dealership that my cluster has failed and needing to be replaced.i was also told that these they have seen a lot of these vehicles with the same problem.supposedly, there was a recall for 2003 and 2005 models having problems with their speedometer.
2005 gmc yukonspeedometer will not work half the time, you never know what speed you are doing this is a safety hazard cause your not getting the right speed.
Speedoometer failure, gauge worked sometimes, and other times showed speeds of 12o mph when going only 30 mph.. Gauge stuck and acted m erratically.
Driving vehicle at highway speeds for approx. 1 hour causes dial-type speedometer to begin registering incorrectly.initially the deviation is only 3-4 mph, but over time will worsen.actual speed is being measured with handheld gps unit to check against speedometer deviation.speedometer can register over or under actual speed.at worse, speedometer can show 0-5 mph while traveling at 60-65 mph actual, and at other times has registered 110-115 mph while traveling at 40-45 mph actual.if engine is shut off and restarted, speedometer will register actual speed for a short time, then begin deviating from actual again.problem does not appear to occur when only traveling at speeds below highway speed (30-45 mph), but when traveling at highway speeds long enough for deviation to occur, speedometer will begin registering over/under actual at any actual speed if vehicle is being continuously driven (not shut off).
The contact owns a 2005 gmc yukon. The contact stated that the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The onstar diagnostic check determined that the ignition switch needed to be replaced.

I will be driving my 2005 yukon, and all of a sudden under dry conditions when i take off from a stop my car goes for a second, than everything stops, i will slap the gas pedal the engine is running but doesn't rev (sp) and the car doesn't move...i live on a main route , the speed limit is 55mph in front of my house, i make sure i give myself plenty of distance to go and when i pull out in front of traffic thinking i have plenty of time and than this happens...i am playing russian roulette with my family...there is no warning that this is going to happen...a light comes on the dash saying traction active....that is not a warning....my car does not go!i wonder how many people are dead because this has happened to them and couldn't tell the story on why they pulled out in front of some truck and the car just wouldn't go....gm needs to confess up to this problem...i know 3 other people personally that there car does this also...gm told them it was his front wheel sensors, that rust got between something inthem up north where there is salt...he replaced them...and problem still occurs...so what is the problem? i have looked it up on the internet, and there is thousands of complaints...no one really has an answer to fix it...it is hit and miss.....i am sure it is a recall but gmc would have to spend millions of dollars to fix it....why does the rich guy always get the break.....i believe this should be a class action suit and it should definitely be looked into....we bail gm out, than they play death games with our loved ones.....if they could 100% tell me what was wrong with it, i would have it fixed, but they won't fess up.....come on gm....you know there is a problem.....this happens always, i drive around with thetraction system disabled...i have to do this each time the car is off and back on. I push the disabled button and it seems not to happen...as long as i remember to do this, but it shouldn't be, it should be fixed whatever the problem is. Thank u
When driving my truck the traction control comes on frequently when in motion. Sometimes it even completely doesn't move for a few seconds even when given gas then lurks forward, which frightens me because it has happened in the middle of an intersection which could possibly cause an accident. I've been reading up on this issue and it seems pretty common, this is alarming that a recall has not been put into effect! besides that my truck runs beautiful, what can i do? this is an ongoing thing.
Traction activation engages for no reason usually when starting from a stopped position and vehicle reaches approximately 15 mph. The gas pedal locks up briefly and engine appears to want to die, within a few seconds the activation light goes back out and truck if fine. If i drive an hour this problem occurs 3 times. Mymechanic advised no recalls for this problem from gmc. The car was checked twice within a week after the check engine light kept coming on, but when tested with the diagnostic testing equipment i was advised it's a censor problem, but the denali has 4 censors and the tests can't detect which censor is bad until it goes out completely.i will contact my local gmc dealer but, from checking several complaints from persons experiencing similar problems i am very concerned about being taken for a ride. Now i have to worry about being involved in an accident while i'm waiting for this censor to totally go out. Gmc knows people are having this problem with traction censors and should do the honorable thing by recalling these vehicles before a serious accident occurs. The average citizen who purchases a vehicle in good faith shouldn't have to pay hundreds and or thousands of dollars while mechanics keep charging you for tests that aren't solving the problem. Gmc should replace all the censors since their tests can't detectwhich one is bad.
We had our second brand new 2005 yukon slt for about 1 week, with approximately 250 miles on it when the "stabilitrak" automatic stability control system caused the vehicle to lock up.we got this vehicle after our 1st yukon locked up approximately 1 month earlier.we had just left our home and were on the street we live on driving approximately 15 mph, when we felt something weird, heard a grinding noise, and the vehicle locked up.the "service stability" light was on.the is exactly the same scenario that happened on our other 2005 yukon.this time the dealership said they could not find any diagnostic codes present in the computer, or any route cause.we feel very uncertain of the "stabilitrak" system and feel that there should be a safety review.had this happened at a speed of 60 mph or faster, we could be injured or dead.there must be other instances of this malfunction. Through research, we found that this vehicle was manufactured several months apart and at different manufacturing facility than the first yukon.we would like someone to call us regarding this important issue, this is the second yukon to have the exact same problem with the stabilitrak system.
We had our brand new 2005 yukon slt for 1 week and it had approximately 226 miles on it, when the "stabilitrak" electronic stability control system caused the vehicle to lock up.i was driving approximately 45 mph on my normal route, a fairly straight route, when the vehicle made a loud grinding noise, became impossible to maneuver, and totally locked up.had i been driving faster, i am confident that we could have rolled or been in an awful accident.the "service stability" light was on.the dealership was unable to pinpoint the cause of malfunction.general motors concluded that the yaw sensor had not been calibrated, causing it to enable the stabilitrak program without reason or warning.we did not feel comfortable with that explanation from general motors.the dealership agreed and got us another brand new yukon.we would like someone to call us regarding this serious issue.

I rented a 2005 gmc yukon from enterprise at the san luis obispo, ca. Airport location. While driving home on highway 101 northbound over cuesta grade on the decent of the north side of the grade the hood popped open, fortunately the additional latch caught the hood thus preventing the hood from flying back and smashing the windshield. Thankfully there was no traffic at that moment and i was able to pull to the side of the highway and secure the hood. I determined that the hood release lever located near the floor board on the left side of the drivers area has very little resistance and is far to easy to release. I had been listening to the radio, tapping my left foot around and without knowing it i had caught the hood release with my foot and popped the hood open. I feel that an after market repair could be made by creating a attachable flap style door that would cover the release latch until it was actually needed.i allerted the rental agency of the defect and advised them not to rent that vehicle out until a correction to that defect had been completed. I asked that they pass this information on to the company and that they let gmc know as well.thank you,hily greene.

The consumer was in an accident and the seat belt did not hold, which resulted in her hitting the dashboard. The consumer received some bruising.
The second row seats will not fold down flat.this has been going on for about 2 years.
I was pulling up to a stop light, and the brakes went out.i ran into the truck in front of me while going between 20 to 25 mph.the auto repair shop said my brake line was corroded and it snapped.
My wife, with three children in the car, attempted to stop at a stop sign while traveling at approx. 35 mph and the brakes completely failed. After going through one additional stop sign and red traffic light, she was able to safely bring the car to a stop on the shoulder. Upon investigation it was found that one of the brake lines had completely rusted through and ruptured. We are lucky that they are alive. Based on the number of similar complaints, and potential severity of this type of brake failure there should be a recall of these clearly defective brake lines.
The 2005 yukon brake lines have rusted through, and while driving of all places to the inspection station in upstate ny.while in the shop for repair, it was advised that the aluminum antilock distribution box has major corrosion as well.it needs to be replaced.

Wife almost had accident due to sudden brake failure. Corroded metal brake line rusted through for rear brakes.
I was driving on a divided highway and went to slow down to make a left hand turn and the brakes initially worked but at about 30 mph there was a total failure and the pedal went all the way to the floor. I had to stand on the pedal, so to speak, to get the 2005 yukon to stop before hitting the traffic stopped in front of me. I had the truck towed home and upon inspection the break line had failed right below the radiator where it connects to a plastic retainer clip. I was amazed at the fact with only 118,000 miles i had total rust through on brake lines. This is one of the most important parts on a vehicle and would expect the lines to last longer. I live in southern indiana about 40 miles for cincinnati, oh. This is unbelievable!!since i repaired this failure, the trans line and another brake line have failed due to rust.!!i have owned gm products my whole life and had a 1998 yukon with 235,000 mi. On the truck and never had a problem with rust through on the lines. I wish there was something gm would do to help fix this problem. I worry every time i use the truck that another line would break and cause a massive accident.
When i went to pull the yukon into the driveway, the brake pedal went to the floor and i barely made it into the driveway and stopped.i had the vehicle towed to the gm dealership.i was called within a couple of hours and told that the brake lines had burst and had corrupted all of the rotors and the cost would be over $3k to repair/replace. Note: the rotors were replaced sep 2013 and had less than 1k mileage.i called gm corporate to ask for relief on 10/6/14 and was told i would receive a call within 24 hours by a senior advisor. After not hearing back, i called on 10/10/14 and was told that the vehicle was out of warranty and they couldn't do anything. I citied all the cases on line about faulty brake lines and nhtsa ea11001 and the lady had no knowledge of any issues. She stated it would be the responsibility of the dealership and not gm. She stated she would call the dealership the same day and turn it over to them. There was nothing gm would do to assist since it is out of warranty.please help. What is the status of the investigation?
Lost brakes completely.the was a catastrophic failure in the cluster of brake lines in front of abs module due to rust which left a puddle containing all of the brake fluid on the ground.luckily the vehicle was in a church parking lot when it happened and a sudden stop was not needed from a higher speed.this could have been bad if that were the case.too bad gm did to spend a few extra dollars on rust-proof brake lines given how exposed to the elements they are.
Brake lines failed while driving through parking lot.the vehicle stopped just short of colliding with other vehicles in the lot.all lines including transmission cooler lines and lines from calipers to brakes needed to be replaced due to excessive corrosion. Updated 4/24/2015
On my 2005 gmc yukon, after about 6 months or so, during braking, there was a loud grinding/slipping feeling, that felt like it came from the front end.after getting the brakes checked out, i was told they were fine.took the vehicle to another place, and they duplicated the sound and changed the rear brakes. Didn't hear the noise for about a month, then it came back.still feels and sounds the same.took it back to the shop. They said the front brakes were fine but i wanted them changed anyway.so they did.noise still there.anyone else with this issue?the noise and feel occur when slowing down to a stop or turn from normal travel speeds on highway or roadway.
The contact owns a 2005 gmc yukon. The contact stated there was a steering shaft clanking noise whenever the vehicle was being driven. The universal in the steering column failed. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who inspected the failure but had not repaired the vehicle. The manufacturer stated they have no knowledge of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 27,200. Updated 09/27/11updated 11/02/11
The contact owns a 2005 gmc yukon.while driving approximately 25 mph and making a left turn, the steering wheel became difficult to turn.the dealer re-lubed the steering shaft.recently, the failure recurred while making a right turn.the current mileage was 41,000 and failure mileage was 21,000.
This is the 2nd occurrence of the same incident in 3 months.while moving slowly through a parking lot, the engine just stops.no shudder, no rough idle, no warning.without power, steering is impaired or impossible.turning the ignition key restarts the engine normally.jiggling the key cannot replicate the problem.
On certain trucks, the bolt that attaches the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear may not meet specification. The bolt may fracture resulting in the loss of steering. This is from a gmc sierra truck,but i have this wrong with my gmc yukon.
Dt: in this vehicle the console is wider and the seats are narrower.the console is in the consumer'sarm area space whenmakinga hard right turnand for any reason, the consumer wouldhit the console or the arm rest. Noticed this early on.talked to gmc, they took the information and said that the engineers will contactconsumer .the consumer stated no one has contacted.
The spare tire is stored under vehicle and lowered from beneath the vehicle by a cranking a cable.it also has a secondary latch to keep it from falling on road if that cable should fail.the problem is that the latch is designed very poorly and quite susceptible to rusting from road salt.this prevents it from releasing the spare tire from the vehicle.the reason this is a safety issue is that the spare tire is impossible to use without prior knowledge on exactly how to release a frozen safety latch.it is very unlikely anyone would be able to do so while stranded roadside with a flat tire.it would at least greatly extend the amount of time person would be working on their vehicle along the road.
I had driven my yukon for roughly a year when the passenger side rear glass hinge broke.it caused a leak and i have been in fear of the back glass coming loose or breaking during driving.my research has led me to several stories of the same problem leaving glass on roads, carwashes, and even on following vehicles, causing damage.gm expects me to pay over $1000 to replace the glass.a redesigned glass which leads me to believe they know of the problem and refuse to help fix it.

I will be driving my 2005 yukon, and all of a sudden under dry conditions when i take off from a stop my car goes for a second, than everything stops, i will slap the gas pedal the engine is running but doesn't rev (sp) and the car doesn't move...i live on a main route , the speed limit is 55mph in front of my house, i make sure i give myself plenty of distance to go and when i pull out in front of traffic thinking i have plenty of time and than this happens...i am playing russian roulette with my family...there is no warning that this is going to happen...a light comes on the dash saying traction active....that is not a warning....my car does not go!i wonder how many people are dead because this has happened to them and couldn't tell the story on why they pulled out in front of some truck and the car just wouldn't go....gm needs to confess up to this problem...i know 3 other people personally that there car does this also...gm told them it was his front wheel sensors, that rust got between something inthem up north where there is salt...he replaced them...and problem still occurs...so what is the problem? i have looked it up on the internet, and there is thousands of complaints...no one really has an answer to fix it...it is hit and miss.....i am sure it is a recall but gmc would have to spend millions of dollars to fix it....why does the rich guy always get the break.....i believe this should be a class action suit and it should definitely be looked into....we bail gm out, than they play death games with our loved ones.....if they could 100% tell me what was wrong with it, i would have it fixed, but they won't fess up.....come on gm....you know there is a problem.....this happens always, i drive around with thetraction system disabled...i have to do this each time the car is off and back on. I push the disabled button and it seems not to happen...as long as i remember to do this, but it shouldn't be, it should be fixed whatever the problem is. Thank u
I recently had my vehicle in my service dept. For an on-going problem , when i would accelerate, the vehicle would lose power and not move after about 20 feet or so and a traction active message would appear on the display. This was a very serious safety concern as the vehicle would end up in the middle of the road with loss of power and cars behind me will almost re end my car. It is an intermittent happening 6 or more time daily, would happen when i would drive from a stop sign or red light. To regain power, you had to let off on the gas peddle and the drive would re-engage. We have been dealing with this for a while and it goes away when we turn off the stability control which it is a very serious safety feature knowing that my babies are in the truck with me.after doing a search there are a lot of people having my same problem, this is as safety hazard and is going to cause a fatality. *ln
I have noticed over the past year that the shift indicator in the instrument cluster has been intermittent/not visible during any operation of car operation.this has been a complaint to the local dealer do to a safety issue in which you do not see what position the shift indicator is in.
Traction activation engages for no reason usually when starting from a stopped position and vehicle reaches approximately 15 mph. The gas pedal locks up briefly and engine appears to want to die, within a few seconds the activation light goes back out and truck if fine. If i drive an hour this problem occurs 3 times. Mymechanic advised no recalls for this problem from gmc. The car was checked twice within a week after the check engine light kept coming on, but when tested with the diagnostic testing equipment i was advised it's a censor problem, but the denali has 4 censors and the tests can't detect which censor is bad until it goes out completely.i will contact my local gmc dealer but, from checking several complaints from persons experiencing similar problems i am very concerned about being taken for a ride. Now i have to worry about being involved in an accident while i'm waiting for this censor to totally go out. Gmc knows people are having this problem with traction censors and should do the honorable thing by recalling these vehicles before a serious accident occurs. The average citizen who purchases a vehicle in good faith shouldn't have to pay hundreds and or thousands of dollars while mechanics keep charging you for tests that aren't solving the problem. Gmc should replace all the censors since their tests can't detectwhich one is bad.
Failure of rear window hinge in gmc 2005 yukon.hinge and glass separate, window is loose; can be pulled off due to suction from other vehicles or the wind.contacted gmc, customer service rep, christian, said not covered due to warranty expired on vehicle, no recall in effect.i explained there are several posts all with the same issue regarding the rear hinge failing. He offered to provide a service provider, but i would have to pay the expense of replacing the entire back glass.this seems to be a known problem to gmc, some posts indicated covered by dealers, others were not.one listing of back glass falling out while driving.this occurred when we opened the back glass to get something out of the rear of the vehicle.vehicle is garaged at home, and while at work.rear window is rarely opened.never towed anything behind vehicle.as much info that has been written about this issue, i'm hoping gmc will re-consider and place a re-call.soon.only 65k miles, purchased new in may 2005. Original owner.
