2023 Gmc Yukon xl problems
The Chevrolet Suburban is a series of SUVs built by Chevrolet since the 1935 model year. The longest-used automobile nameplate in the world, the Chevrolet Suburban is currently in its twelfth generation, introduced for 2021. Beginning life as one of the first metal-bodied station wagons, the Suburban is the progenitor of the modern full-size SUV, combining a wagon-style body with the chassis and powertrain of a pickup truck. Alongside its Advance Design, Task Force, and C/K predecessors, the Chevrolet Silverado currently shares chassis and mechanical commonality with the Suburban and other trucks.
Traditionally one of the most profitable vehicles sold by General Motors, the Suburban has been marketed through both Chevrolet and GMC for nearly its entire production. Along sharing the Suburban name with Chevrolet, GMC has used several nameplates for the model line; since 2000, the division has marketed it as the GMC Yukon XL. Since 2003, Cadillac has marketed the Suburban as the Cadillac Escalade ESV. During the 1990s, GM Australia marketed right-hand drive Suburbans under the Holden brand.
.The Suburban is sold in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Chile, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Peru, Philippines, and the Middle East (except Israel), while the Yukon XL is sold only in North America (exclusive to the United States, Canada, and Mexico) and the Middle East territories (except Israel).
A 2018 iSeeCars.com study identified the Chevrolet Suburban as the car that is driven the most each year. A 2019 iSeeCars.com study named the Chevrolet Suburban the second-ranked longest-lasting vehicle. In December 2019, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce unveiled a Hollywood Walk of Fame star for the Suburban, noting that the Suburban had been in "1,750 films and TV shows since 1952."

VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-03-05
- VIN: 1GKS2GKD1PR
- Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: Windshield wipers periodically fail to operate when turned on. This is but extremely dangerous because it's been impossible to determine what the cause is. When the wipers stop working, I adjust the speed from the intermittent settings to LO and HI and there is no change. I can turn the RainSense setting to OFF and there is no change. The wipers stop working and then after a few minutes, will turn back on. I have taken the vehicle to the multiple GMC dealers for service and they cannot diagnose the problem because it only occurs periodically. They refuse to change parts in an attempt to fix it. I have called GMC Customer Care and their response is "take it to another dealer". I have showed the videos I have captured of this dangerous situation and the dealers don't care. I have the videos and can share (but this site doesn't allow upload of videos). This is extremely dangerous. The wipers have cut out at highway speed in torrential downpour multiple times.

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-05
- VIN: 1GKS2JKT8PR
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: Urgent Appeal for Investigation into Braking Capacity Discrepancy Dear National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),I am reaching out to bring a critical matter to your attention regarding the braking capacity of my diesel vehicle, which has not been adequately addressed despite multiple notifications to the service center.The primary concern I wish to highlight is the inadequate braking capacity of my diesel vehicle, which poses a significant safety risk. This concern is especially troubling when compared to my similar gas-fueled vehicle from the same manufacturer, which exhibits notably superior braking performance. After discussing this matter with the service center, their response was that the braking performance is considered normal for my diesel vehicle. However, the evident disparity in braking effectiveness between my diesel vehicle and the gas-fueled one suggests otherwise. This difference is particularly concerning given that both vehicles utilize the same brake system, despite the diesel vehicle's higher weight. In light of these circumstances, I urgently request NHTSA's intervention to investigate this matter promptly. The inadequate braking capacity of my diesel vehicle presents a tangible risk to road safety, affecting not only myself but potentially all drivers on the road.It is crucial that corrective measures are taken swiftly to address this issue and ensure the safety of all drivers. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.Thank you for your immediate action.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-08
- VIN: 1GKS2GKT6PR
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: When driving in a parking lot, due to the design of the cruise control set switch, it is very easy to unintentionally set the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, when maneuvering in a parking lot at low speeds (below 5mph) and allowing the wheel to return to center by spinning in your hands, the cruise control switch which is a dial/lever that sticks out beyond the surface of the wheel, catches on your hand and engages the cruise. This sets the cruise control target speed to a 15 MPH even if you are currently going slower than that. The vehicle then accelerates on its own at a fairly aggressive pace to get up to 15mph. You can of course hit the brakes and cancel the cruise control, but in a tight parking lot scenario this unintended acceleration could easily cause you to strike another vehicle, obstacle, or pedestrian. The cruise control on this vehicle is enabled by default on start up and the single action of hitting the set switch/dial engages the cruise and accelerates sharply even if you had not previously used cruise in that ignition cycle. This seems like a stupid design and dangerous, and would be very easy to fix with a software update to not let the cruise become enabled below 15mph. We did not have the dealer investigate because this appears to be the normal operation of the cruise control system. There were no unusual warning lamps. This has happened several times and also has happened to my wife while driving.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-04-04
- VIN: 1GKS2JKL5PR
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: I recently purchased my vehicle and after already transporting my family of 5, including my newborn child for several days, I noticed that my parking sensors were not working and I began receiving a message of my dash that parking assist, rear braking and auto park assist were unavailable. I reached out to GM around 4/4 informing them of the issue and they said they didn't have any recalls or retrofits for my vehicle and advised me to take it to a dealer's service deparment to be reviewed. After having an issue with Simpson GMC of Buena Park of failing to even review my issue for a week, I took it to Penske GMC of Cerritos on 4/17 and they determined that during manufacturing of the vehicle, someone failed to connect the module that controls my parking sensors. They had to remove the front fascia of my vehicle to connect the module for everything to work correctly. This has forced me to call into question the quality control of GM vehicles and also concerns me that a car manufacturer would deliver a vehicle with such gross negligence where a consumer would not know the safety features they rely on to keep themselves and their family safe do not work. GM Customer Service also never followed up on my issue even after calling and emailing them several times, which again calls into question how General Motors operates their business.

- Date Of Incident: 2023-02-05
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- VIN: 1GKS2KKL5PR
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: While driving in a gravel driveway, the window curtain airbags and the middle console airbags deployed, with no collision what so ever causing injury to the driver and should you have a child this could have been very damaging as the airbags came out in all the way back through the vehicle. This incident was inspected by police and fire as OnStar called them as it detected a collision, and without the vehicle being moved from the location the officer said there is nothing that should have caused the airbags to deploy, there is absolutely nothing here in this driveway that could have possible caused airbag deployment, The running boards go in and out, even when on the interstate constantly, and when backing up or going forward at times, and especially in a gravel driveway your automatic breaks will stop you abruptly, so fast that your seat belt will lock up on your and thrust you forward and backwards. The rear entertainment system will screen at times when turning it on will stay black and you have to keep turning it on and off to get a screen to show. No warning lamps or messaging with any of these cases.
