2009 Gmc Yukon problems
The Chevrolet Tahoe, and its badge-engineered GMC Yukon counterpart, are full-size SUVs and other trucks from General Motors, offered since 1994 and 1991, respectively. Since 1982, Chevrolet and GMC sold two different-sized SUVs under their "Blazer" and "Jimmy" nameplates, by introducing the smaller S-10 Blazer and GMC S-15 Jimmy for the 1983 model year, below the full-size Blazer and Jimmy models. This situation lasted into the early 1990s. GMC first rebadged the full-size Jimmy as the "Yukon" in 1991. Chevrolet however waited until 1994, when they rebadged the redesigned mid-size S-10 Blazer the "new Blazer," while renaming the full-size Blazer as the "Tahoe." The name Tahoe refers to the rugged and scenic area surrounding Lake Tahoe in the western United States, and was originally used as a trim level on S-10 models. The name Yukon refers to the Yukon territory of northern Canada.
For the 1995 model year, the Tahoe and Yukon gained a new, longer four-door model, slotting in size between the two-door models and the longer-wheelbase Chevrolet/GMC Suburbans.
The Tahoe is sold in North America, parts of Asia such as the Philippines, and the Middle East, plus other countries including Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Angola as a left-hand-drive vehicle. The Yukon is only sold in North America and the Middle East.
The Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon are part of General Motors' full-size SUV family and are differentiated from the similar Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL primarily by the length of the passenger and cargo area behind the C-pillar. An upscale trim GMC Denali sub-model joined the Yukon lineup as the top-of-the-line trim for the 1999 model year; the Cadillac Escalade is a closely related upscale version sharing the same platform. The Denali is available on both standard and XL versions.
The Tahoe has regularly been the best-selling full-size SUV in the United States, frequently outselling its competition by two to one.

Common 2009 Gmc Yukon problems
Based on complaints from owners of the 2009 GMC Yukon, several common problems have been reported. Here is a detailed list of these issues:
- Door Lock Actuator Failure: Owners have reported multiple instances of door lock actuator failures, with some experiencing issues with various doors within a short period. This problem can lead to inconvenience and potential security concerns due to doors not locking or unlocking properly.
- Excessive Oil Consumption: A significant number of complaints revolve around excessive oil consumption in the 5.3L V8 Vortec engine. This issue is attributed to defective piston rings, PVC systems, and the "active fuel management" (AFM) system, causing premature engine failure and various malfunctions. The low-tension oil rings and PVC system allow an excessive amount of oil to enter the combustion chambers, leading to burning off early.
- Cracked Dashboard: Some Yukon owners have reported dashboard cracking issues, particularly in the 2007 model. This cosmetic problem can be unsightly and may indicate a manufacturing flaw in the dashboard material used.
- Front Wheel Bearing Failure: Front wheel bearing problems have been noted, with owners reporting a loud grinding noise resembling that of an airplane or helicopter. This noise may intensify when turning, indicating potential issues with the wheel bearings that require attention to prevent further damage.
- Throttle Body Sensor Failure: Complaints include issues with the throttle body sensors, specifically related to code P2135. This problem can trigger the engine reduced power light and check engine light, affecting the vehicle's performance. Cleaning the throttle body is not a solution, necessitating sensor replacement or, in some cases, the entire throttle body unit.
These common problems reported by owners of the 2009 GMC Yukon highlight various issues ranging from mechanical failures to electrical malfunctions. Addressing these concerns promptly can help maintain the vehicle's performance and reliability.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-09-28
- VIN: 1GKFK032X9R
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: My 2009 GMC Yukon Denali has a major safety issue. The hard plastic dash has multiple cracks, which is a huge safety concern in the case of an accident. The dash could explode inside the vehicle causing injury to me and/or other passengers. The dashboard could also interfere with the operation of the airbag due to multiple cracks being around the passenger air bag. I have reached out to GM customer service twice and both time they advised me that a manager will reach out to me but they never did. I’m hoping this report will make GM accountable for the vehicle defect they made and pay to fix/repair the dash.

- Date Of Incident: 2022-07-29
- VIN: 1gkfk13519r

- Summary: I was driving around 55 miles per hour and applied the brakes. I had little to no brakes and had to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. Luckily there was no car in front of me or a collision would have occurred. I had multiple ABS light, service stabiltrak, service brake lights engage. It happened once more going to the next light. I pulled over and removed the negative battery cable and waited 2 minutes and re attached it. The brakes feel spongy. I have researched the forums for the electric hybrid models and there were multiple other vehicles with the same symptoms as mine. Dealership says there are no recalls for the vehicle, even though multiple other hybrids are having the same issues and wanted to charge me $135 diagnostic fee to check the brake system. This is a safety hazard and should be investigated by GMC

I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT AS WELL. IT WOULD BE TO GM'S ADVANTAGE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS NOW, RATHER THAN WAIT UNTIL THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS. I WILL FORWARD PICTURES IF YOU REQUEST. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
