Gmc Yukon Xl 2008 Power Train Automatic Transmission Review #10325686

GMC YUKON XL 2008 car safety problem was reported on Mar 19, 2010.GMC YUKON XL 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . my 2008 gmc yukon xl has transmission problems. two separate dealerships have replaced the transmission seals twice. the car kicks back upon acceleration quite frequently, at all speeds. three weeks ago, i was merging onto the freeway at about 45 mph and the car accelerated only without kicking into gear, causing another car to almost hit me. after about 15 seconds the gear finally kicked in really hard throwing my son and myself forward. it was very scary. i had the second dealership come and flat bed tow the car in out of fear of driving the vehicle. i received notification that the seals were lose and tighten and nothing else was wrong. one week later i am having the same issue. the vehicle is kicking back and sometimes does stops shifting into gear as i am trying to accel, the vehicle moves then it stops being able to continue. i am calling the dealership again today. i am wondering if there have been any other issues with this vehicles year, make and model. what should i do continue to try to resolve the problem with the car and take a chance of having something bad happening to myself and three children. this is really becoming scary and quite bothersome. i purchased this car for its safety and size and have to keep downsizing while this is being ineffectively repaired. what should i do? *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1GKFK66868J.

GMC YUKON XL 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 05, 2009.GMC YUKON XL 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . the vehicle has had multiple failures of door locking mechanisms. most recent failure has affected the rear passenger doors which are not keyed from the outside, so only way to unlock is to crawl over seats to unlock. this is a significant safety concern since we have had small children in the rear of the vehicle that can not exit their seats on their own. this could increase the change of bodily injury in an accident and result in extra time needed to extricate people from the vehicle. this appears to be a common problem with this model vehicle and other gm vehicles with the same body style. the dealership has fixed one of the actuators and indicated that they have seen multiple failures, which means gm is well aware of the problem and should issue a recall to fix these clearly defective door locking mechanisms. *tr.Mileage was 30016 miles.

GMC YUKON XL 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 29, 2014.GMC YUKON XL 2008, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . i have an issue with my yukon 2008 dashboard, it is cracked on the passenger side where the airbag is located as well as today a big crack appeared over the driver side where the instrument panel hump is located on the left side. i am worried that the safety during a collision or airbag deployment from sharp plastic exposed due to the cracks in the dash cutting the airbag or shards of plastic becoming projectiles potentially causing injury to occupants. i keep my yukon very clean and well maintained and it is always stored in my garage and kept in meticulous condition and looks and smells new and use rigorously a windshield sun guard to protect my steering wheel and dashboard . i purchased this vehicle back in 2008 and believe it was used by the dealership because it had miles on it. i have seen several posts regarding this manufacturing issue and many people are complaining of the poor manufacturing materials used on the dashboard that makes them all crack on the same exact area i am speaking as to have happened on mine. the cost to replace is approximately 800.00 which includes parts and labor. this shouldn't be the responsibility of the customer but of the manufacturer as this is a defective part. this is ridiculous to have paid so much for a supposed quality vehicle and i was never expecting this happening and think this is unacceptable; and seeing by so many comments on the same issue that it should be a recall item because it happens so often in the same exact areas due to the safety during a collision causing the airbag deployment from sharp plastic exposed due to the cracks causing the plastic to project causing possible injury to the occupants. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 110165 miles.
