| I opened back rear lift glass and it made a very strange noise. i closed it then noticed it was not sitting straight so i opened it again to see what the problem was. when i tried to close it again it would not lock and then one hinge holding the glass on just broke and then the glass was only held on by one hinge and was completely crooked. i contacted gmc dealer and they said $1,100.00 repair because they had to repair the whole glass plus the hinges. i found out that a couple other people in my small area had the same problem and then i found somewhere on this website there had been 3 more complaints about it. when i spoke with gmc they said it wasn't anything i did and it wasn't due from wear and tear that it just broke. apparently the part that broke on mine was the welding came off. i think if an investigation is started that gmc will find out there are a lot more people in this country who have had the same problem. *jb | |||

| The rear liftgate hinges, that are glued to the rear liftgate glass, has come free from the glass. neither the glass liftgate or hinges are damaged, the attaching compound (i.e. glue?) has failed. the car is still under a factory extended warranty, but gmc cannot repair the defect. they must replace undamaged items in order to replace the failed adhesive.*jb | |||

| I currently own (purchased new) a 2001 yukon xl which is equipped with a rear tailgate having a hinged rear window which allows access to the rear compartment without opening the tailgate. *ak the rear tailgate glass is secured to the tailgate via two hinges which are secured to the glass by an adhesive. the passenger side window hinge has delaminated from the tailgate glass resulting in the window being secured to the vehicle with one hinge. there is no mechanical securement to the glass. i have been told by several different service professionals (inside and out of gm) that this is a known problem. however, no service bulletins or recalls exist to repair the hinge failure. i have been attempting to work this issue with the gmc customer service team and have a case opened (1-122096729). i believe that opening the door windows on the vehicle would cause additional stress on the remaining hinge. therefore, i believe this is a potential safety issue since the window could break free from the vehicle if the second hinge fails resulting in a safety hazard for any vehicle directly behind or adjacent to the vehicle. if you have any questions, please call. | |||

| Tl*- the contact owns a 2001 gmc yukon. while driving he heard a loud noise that sounded like metal clashing on metal. the contact took it to the dealer, and they stated that the failure was due to a a defective flex plate. he felt that this was a huge safety problem because the failure could result in a loss of the ability to stop the vehicle. also, this was a huge concern for anyone who was pulling a travel trailer. the contact could provide pictures if needed. the failure was 80,000 miles. *ak the noise was noticed a idle and particularly at acceleration. it was determined that the flex plate connecting the crank torque converter was fractured. the consumer stated the probable failure mode on this part is flexural fatigue which would result misalignment of the transmission input shaft and the crankshaft, or excessive run out on the attachment surface of either the crankshaft or the converter. updated 05/04/07*jb | |||
