| The statistical data regarding problem experience in the table above are net counts for unique vehicles.review of information in this pe discloses that while accounting for approximately two-thirds of the total population, my 2007 subject vehicles are cited in more than 90 percent of the consumer complaints, injury reports, and warranty claims, respectively.in addition, improvements in the door handle manufacturing process during the my 2007 production resulted in a decline in the occurrence of peeling/flaking of the thin chrome plating.other environmental factors were also identified that may have influenced the occurrence of the condition which poses the alleged safety risk.additional analysis is required to identify the specific vehicles most susceptible to peeling or separation of the chrome plating from the handle, and to assess the significance of its occurrence.this pe has been upgraded to an engineering analysis to facilitate further study. | ||||||

| The passenger door and right side rear door locks have failed. the doors have to be manually locked and unlock. i believe it to be the door lock actuators, as their are numerous complaints about this all over the internet. this is a huge safety issue. i cannot believe this has not been recalled. i have two small children and to not be able to get to them as fast as possible in an emergency is very scary. these automatic door locks are there for a reason gm knows it. i was told the cost would be around $300 per door and many of these people have had to have them replaced multiple times. this needs to be fixed free of charge with quality parts that will not fail! *tr | |||

| Problems with power door locks. had it with our 2000 yukon, my 1999 sierra, and now our 2008. the 12 volt motor which drives the locks up and down via a screwjack fails. no logical way to just change the motor. the entire assy. must be replaced @ $153 my nearest dealer. 2nd door to fail on the 2008. assy is stamped made in china. this is a recurring problem and should be on a recall. *tr | |||

| I own a 2008 gmc yukon. the vehicle has power door locks and the actuator on the door locks has gone out on all four doors. they replaced the first 3 under warranty, but they would not do it on the last one as vehicle was out of warranty. my son helped me install a new one in the last one, but we had to buy the parts. my sorry dealership wanted $300 to fix something that is obviously flawed in the first place. the door lock has now gone out again on a back door that they had already fixed, supposedly they will repair this one free of charge. i guess i will take it in and see if they will honor their repair warranty. | |||

| 2008 gmc yukon door actuators going out repetively. i have to manually unlock the door instead of being able to use my key remote as the drivers side and 2 passenger doors have gone out. this becomes a safety issue as i am at my business until 9pm and would like to unlock my door by remote. | |||

| First owner of a 2009 gmc yukon has had 3 door lock failures, which not only qualifies under the lemon law, but also poses a major safety issue. the first door lock failed. gmc does not consider door locks as a warranty item or safety item so i was forced to pay for a replacement. the next week, another door lock failed. the dealer did not charge for the replacement. now, a third door lock failed only 10 days after the last repair. why is this a safety concern? my child was able to open the door while all doors were locked. due to e failure, the door was unlocked unknowingly. my child and any child or person risks falling out of a moving vehicle. secondly, should a car accident occur, unlocked doors could result in a door opening and ejecting the passenger leading to death. there is a flood of complaints on the web for this issue. gmc has not owned up to it, but due to the major safety issues, this should be investigated and faulty actuators and the known pattern failure in wiring harness causing the failures should be addressed as an immediate recall. | |||
